Emma Ray

Emme Ray, LE, developed a passion for aesthetics at a young age…especially anything to do with good skin care. Now, as our Medical Aesthetician at Derm Aesthetics, she shares her sensational skin skills with her patients by way of multiple noninvasive treatment options. She certainly knows her way around our host of laser treatments, facials, chemical peels, microneedling, and so much more.

Though she always loved makeup and hair/skin care, it was Emma’s struggles with acne in high school that struck a major chord and would eventually lead her down a path to the career she enjoys today.

“When I was dealing with acne in my teens, I would constantly be in the kitchen making DIY masks with any ingredient I could find to help clear my skin,” she said. “The pursuit of clear skin led me to reading about different ingredients and products and watching videos about skin care. The feeling that I felt when my skin was finally clear is something I wanted to help everyone feel. So, I eventually decided to pursue that passion and see if I could make a career out of it.”

But first, Emma dipped her toe in another professional realm before her love of aesthetics came full circle. She earned her bachelor’s in psychology followed by working on her master’s degree in youth development. Emma began working for a low SES elementary school where she taught social skills, anger management, coping skills, socio-emotional intelligence, and other important life skills.

After four years in that role, however, the demands of the work eventually became too heavy and started to take a toll. So, Emma decided to take a leap of faith and revert to her true passion of helping people look and feel more confident. She went back to school, earned her aesthetics license, and proudly settled into her new, exciting career. Along the way of building more and more patient relationships, Emma credits her psychology background with helping her truly connect on a personal level.
