Cannery Row Medical Aesthetics

Joanne Shiffman, RN, BSN, PHN is a licensed registered nurse of 33 years with advanced training in medical aesthetics, including the use of neuromodulators and dermal fillers to artfully erase lines and enhance facial contours. She is also highly experienced in the use of non-ablative lasers and light-based therapies used in the correction of sun damaged skin and in the treatment of acne. She has a Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing and is a certified Public Health Nurse. Her clinical nursing experience includes a background in oncology, emergency room, post anesthesia recovery and plastic surgery. Opening a medical skincare office with a boutique-like setting and an unhurried approach to treatments was Joanne’s vision. “Too often skin clinics become assembly lines for injectables and laser-based procedures.” Joanne is dedicated to quality skin care and outstanding results. She believes that good skincare doesn‘t have to be difficult or expensive.
