CAINA SCHNEIDER, LICENSED ESTHETICIAN
Caina joined the Celestial family almost 2 years ago. She has become an essential piece to the comprehensive care of patients in the practice. Her passion to her profession, commitment to patient care, and honest character make it very easy for patients to trust her with their vulnerabilities and concerns. Caina is also a phlebotomist who works at a local hospital where she draws blood for patients requiring lab testing and diagnostics. As a result of that background her comfort in a surgical setting extends far beyond that of most estheticians.
Her passion for making others feel confident and beautiful started at a young age. She always struggled with self confidence growing up but always helped others find their inner beauty and confidence. Although she grew up in a conservative small town community she always loved learning about new skincare treatments especially medical grade. She knew that it was a collection of simple misconceptions the words “botox,” “lip injections” and other cosmetic services seem tabboo.
Caina always continues to learn. At Celestial Institute of Plastic Surgery she provides laser treatments, medical grade chemical peels, DermalInfusion, Thermi Smooth skin tightening, ThermiVa Vaginal rejuvenation, Vivace Microneedling and CoolSculpting. She attends educational seminars in regards to skincare and services several times a year to stay up to date. She attended CoolSculpting University in December 2018 to ensure that she was providing the best treatments possible for her body contouring clients. Caina’s favorite treatments to perform are DermalInfusions and CoolSculpting.
In 2013, Caina was intrigued by the medical field and achieved her phlebotomy certification while attending University of Michigan-Flint for Nursing in 2013. Caina decided to put Nursing on hold for the time being but continued to expand on and apply her knowledge of anatomy and physiology as well as medical terminology. In 2016, she decided to pursue an esthetics career, and started her journey at Douglas J Aveda institute in East Lansing promptly obtaining her license in April 2017. Caina started her career doing relaxation facials and full body waxing. She felt the need to be challenged and to have her knowledge tested and expanded. Caina started working in medical aesthetics in September 2017. In her short experience she thought most medical aesthetic businesses are all about sales that over promise and under deliver. She started searching for her “forever home,” a place where she could establish real relationships, provide legitimate education, and offer treatments with proven results and an abundance of happy patients. Caina found that at Celestial Institute of Plastic Surgery in June 2018. “They educate first and put the patient in the driver seat, and that is what I love about Celestial.”
“I have the most rewarding and fulfilling job. I help women and men with their skin and body and it is truly humbling to have them pick me and trust me along their journey.” Some of the most humbling experiences I have had involve the patients who have decided to go to Esthetics school after experiencing me sharing my passion, knowledge and education while in the treatment room.” The most memorable thing for Caina was when a patient stated, “Caina saved my life and gave me my confidence back, I don’t have to worry about wearing make-up anymore or having someone make comments about how bad my skin looks, now I just receive compliments.”
