Skin care business relocates to Chadds Ford

Lynn Esdale has moved her skin care business, Lynn Victoria Cosmetic & Medical Skin Care from Ponds Edge in Pennsbury Township. She’s now located above Transcend Yoga in the Barn Shoppes in Chadds Ford.

Esdale, a registered nurse for almost 30 years, said she moved because she always wanted to be in Chadds Ford.

She deals with the cosmetic and medical esthetics of skin care and her services range from Botox injections to dermal filers, from medical microdermabrasion to facials and ayurvedic lymphatic drainage. She said her skin care procedures range in price from $85 to several hundred dollars, depending on what’s needed and how much is needed. Hours are by appointment.

In addition to being a registered nurse since 1986, Esdale is also an esthetician since 1999.

Lynn Easdale says her passion for skin care stems from her own bout with teenage acne.
Lynn Esdale says her passion for skin care stems from her own bout with teenage acne.

As a nurse, she worked for Christiana Care and then at A.I. duPont Institute caring for children with traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries, she said. After her own back injury, she switched to psychiatric nursing working with kids who were drug and alcohol dependent and psychologically impaired.

Esdale said she later went back to Christiana Care as a visiting wound care nurse and did that for 18 years. While working in wound care, she worked with patients who had gun shot wounds, surgical wounds that wouldn’t heal and with diabetics who were dealing with diabetic ulcers and amputations and with women who’s mastectomy wounds weren’t healing.

It was during that time when she realized her passion dealt with skin care, primarily because she had her own battle with teenage acne when she was younger.

“As a young adult I had acne, and I guess I was severely and emotionally affected by it. I was always trying to find ways of healing my skin,” she said.

“My interest in esthetics came about in 1997 while I was at a dermatology appointment. I noticed a brochure about microdermabrasion. When I asked what that was, she told me she had an esthetician and told me what she did,” Esdale said.

Soon after that, she enrolled in esthetician school and graduated with honors, she said.

Esdale began working with dermatologists and plastic surgeons, eventually opening her own business on Ponds Edge Drive in Pennsbury in 2011.

The location above the yoga studio is the former site of the brandyWines wine shop that recently moved next to Antica Restaurant.
