Janet Mintzes, LE

Aesthetician

Janet is a medical aesthetician driven by the idea that when people look good, they feel good. She loves hearing from patients that they are getting compliments on their skin because she knows that she has provided them with results that have boosted their confidence and overall happiness. Janet’s favorite treatments are those that promote collagen, such as microneedling, RF microneedling, and non-ablative laser skin treatments, because of the natural rejuvenation that these therapies provide.

Janet loves working in her garden, reading fiction novels, crafting, and repurposing vintage and antique items in her spare time. One of her dreams is to participate in the reality TV competition, Flea Market Flip. Janet is happily married to her husband Andy, and together they have two children, Aaron and Devon Ann. Their family also includes an adorably fluffy and spunky Shih Tzu Lhasa Apso mix named Chewy.
