Seasons Spotlight: Anna Stephens, Nurse Practitioner

My name is Anna Stephens, and I am an RNC, BSN, MSN, WHNP-C. What in the world do all those letters mean?

It all began with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing from Northwestern State University (BSN).  I worked in Labor and Delivery for seven years and absolutely LOVED it!  After 1½ years working in the hospital, I decided that I could do more for women’s health with a higher degree.

I then earned my Master of Science in Nursing (MSN), also from Northwestern State University.  After four years of part-time school and part-time work, I became a Certified Registered Nurse (RNC) and a Certified Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner (WHNP-C).

So now that you know what all the letters mean, let me explain how that helps me to help you at Seasons.

Some of you may see me for a medical visit — hormone evaluation, annual exam, female problems. Some of you may see me for “fun” visits — Botox, Juvederm, Radiesse, microdermabrasions, IPL treatments, or even skin evaluations. My goal is to see all of you for everything!  How much fun would we have?! I love what I am doing at Seasons.  It is so much fun to see women feel better and then be able to help them look better as well.  The two truly go hand-in-hand!

In addition to my nursing education, I have had many trainings for medical aesthetics services. I am a certified injector for both Botox and Juvederm.  Since becoming certified, I furthered my training with one-on-one advanced training from Allergan, the makers of Botox and Juvederm, and am now a certified advanced injector.

I also have one-on-one training every four months with an expert trainer from Bioform Medical, the makers of Radiesse.  By having an expert train me, I am able to stay up-to-date on the latest injection techniques, thus offering my clients the most current treatments!  It is so much fun to see the immediate improvements on the faces of my patients following a Botox, Juvederm or Radiesse treatment.

In the area of skin care, I have attended Obagi Medical training workshops and have been educated on the Obagi Medical Skin care line. Healthy skin is so important and with Obagi the skin becomes healthy from the inside out. These are truly amazing products that offer truly amazing results!

I also have trained with Guinot, another pharmaceutical- grade skin care line available at Seasons. Guinot is manufactured in Paris and uses natural fruit acids and enzymes to give you a more gentle skin care than Obagi but with the same fabulous results!

The face is the first thing people see when they meet us…what better reason to offer them the healthiest, most beautiful, youthful, radiant face we can? I look forward to meeting you. Let’s work together to achieve your beauty, skin care and health needs!
