Gina McLean PA-C

15 years in dermatology + aesthetics and I’m still this focused. 😂💉

The longer I do this, the more I realize that great results aren’t about doing more—they’re about knowing exactly where, why, and when to treat.

A little anatomy.
A little artistry.
A lot of experience.
And an unreasonable attention to detail. 🤍

Still learning. Still evolving. Still absolutely obsessed with what I do

What’s your fav procedure that was definitely worth it?

Retinol. Retinal. Tretinoin. Which one is actually better? 🤔

They’re all part of the Vitamin A family—but they aren’t the same.
The biggest difference? How much work your skin has to do before they become active.

💜 Retinol → 2 conversion steps (gentlest)

💙 Retinal → 1 conversion step (faster)

🩷 Tretinoin → Already active (prescription only)
That means retinal isn’t just “stronger” than retinol—it reaches the active form more efficiently, so many people see results sooner.

No matter which one you choose:
✨ Start slowly.
✨ Moisturize.
✨ Never skip sunscreen.
📍Not sure which is right for your skin? We’d love to help create a personalized skincare plan.

There’s been a lot of new faces on here, welcome! 👋 I’m Gina McLean, PA-C.

I’m the co-founder of SkinLocal, a national trainer, and I’ve spent the last 15 years immersed in dermatology and aesthetic medicine. What started as a passion for helping people feel confident in their own skin has grown into a career that has taken me far beyond the treatment room.

Today, I have the privilege of training providers across the country, speaking for leading aesthetic companies, and working alongside some of the best in the industry—all while continuing to do what I love most: caring for patients.

But beyond the credentials, I’m an entrepreneur, a mom to three amazing boys, an animal lover, and someone who believes that success comes from showing up consistently, working hard, and never stopping learning.

Whether you’re here for skincare education, aesthetic treatments, behind-the-scenes of building a business, or just a glimpse into real life, I’m so glad you’re here.

Thank you for following along. I’d love to get to know you too—tell me where you’re from or what brought you here! 🤍

Does your neck stay red no matter what you try? ☀️

You may have Poikiloderma of Civatte—a very common condition caused by years of sun exposure that leads to persistent redness, broken capillaries, and brown discoloration.

The good news? It responds beautifully to the right combination of laser treatments and medical-grade skincare.

Your neck often shows signs of aging before your face—don’t ignore it.

“I don’t want duck lips.”
Probably the #1 thing I hear before a lip filler appointment. 👄

The truth? Great lip filler isn’t about creating a new face.

It’s about:
✔️ respecting your anatomy
✔️ restoring harmony
✔️ improving shape and structure
✔️ enhancing without overpowering

The injector matters more than the syringe.

This is the difference between adding volume… and creating an aesthetic result.

✨ Expertise is the treatment.

✨ A little reintroduction… because there’s more to the story behind the scrubs. ✨

If you’re new here — I’m Gina McLean, PA-C.

For the last 15 years, I’ve built my career in dermatology and aesthetics through dedication, consistency, and a relentless commitment to learning, growing, and pushing the standard forward.

What started as a passion for medicine and helping people feel confident in their skin has evolved into a career where I’ve had the honor of training other providers, serving as a KOL and speaker for aesthetic companies, and collaborating with some of the most respected leaders in our industry.

But behind the business and the white coat, I’m a mom to three boys, an animal lover, an entrepreneur, and someone who believes anything meaningful is built through hard work, resilience, and staying true to your vision.

I’m incredibly proud to be the co-founder of SkinLocal — a company built from the ground up with the goal of creating a different kind of aesthetic experience: one rooted in trust, education, safety, and excellence.

When I’m not in clinic, you’ll find me with my family, surrounded by animals, lifting weights, learning, and continuing to build.

Thank you for being here, supporting us, and following along — this journey has been years in the making, and we’re just getting started. 🤍

✨ Venous lake treatment ✨
That little blue/purple spot on the lip is often a venous lake — a benign dilated blood vessel that can become more noticeable over time.

Using the Candela GentleMax Pro Nd:YAG laser, we can precisely target the vascular component, allowing the body to naturally clear the treated vessel while preserving the surrounding tissue.

Small treatment area. Big confidence boost. 💋✨

Results vary. Proper evaluation is required before treatment.

Honored to be invited to present at Longevity Springfest 2026 alongside such an incredible group of experts 🤍

We joined the expert panel with Joseph A Russo, MD and Dr. Marisol Duque to discuss the evolving role of injectables in the wellness and longevity space, along with live demonstrations. Being able to educate and share what we do in real time is something we never take for granted.

Grateful to be part of a field that continues to blend science, aesthetics, and patient-centered care ✨
