About Gina Thompson
With over 25 years of experience in the medical aesthetics industry, I bring a unique blend of clinical expertise, business strategy, and educational insight to everything I do. Throughout my career I’ve held a wide range of roles including Aesthetic Educator, Medical Skin Care Specialist, Makeup Artist, Marketing Director, Business Consultant, Health Coach, Researcher, Content Writer and Public Speaker. I’ve been fortunate to collaborate with industry leaders to develop and deliver high-impact training programs for dispensing professionals, KOLs, and international partners around the globe. My writing and research have been featured in respected publications like Dermascope Magazine, Clinics in Plastic Surgery, and clinical white papers — always with a focus on patient-centered care and ethical aesthetic practices.I hold a BA in Health Sciences from Goddard College, with a focus on the social psychology of physical beauty and patient-centered care for the aesthetic patient. I also earned a Master\'s degree in Integrative Health from the Goddard Graduate Institute, grounding my work in a holistic, science-backed approach to aesthetic medicine. Whether I’m crafting educational curricula, consulting on brand messaging, or speaking at industry events, I’m driven by one belief: confident, empowered patients create thriving practices.Let’s connect — I love collaborating with fellow professionals who are passionate about evolving this dynamic industry.
