SUSANNA TOLONEN
I am a specially trained nurse, an operating room and anesthesia nurse, and a nurse (BSN). In addition, I have further training in health care management and participation in research processes in the field. I have worked as an esthetic skin care and plastic surgery nurse since 2000 at Professor Nordström’s Plastic Surgery Hospital, Siluetti Hospital, Terveystalo and Pihlajalinna, among others. I also worked as an expert in MTV’s highly popular 10 Years Younger program series in 2016 and 2017. I constantly maintain my professional skills by participating in trainings and conferences in the field in Finland and abroad, as well as in practical training sessions for product manufacturers. Since 2016, I have worked as an instructor for Teoxane fillers in Finland.
My own company Proderma Clinic Oy, which specializes in aesthetic skin care and procedures, started operations in September 2017. I also help my clients with issues related to plastic surgery and, if necessary, search my extensive network of domestic or foreign experts for a suitable healthcare professional for all plastic surgery needs.
I also work as a consultant in various esthetic treatment companies.
