#116 Holistic Beauty with Frances Krawiec

The Well with Mandy Balak

In this episode, we sit down with Frances Krawiec and chat about all things beauty, aging with grace and prioritizing our wellness routines. Frances spills the tea on which beauty products are worth the splurge and the supplements that will help us thrive. “Beauty is a journey with your patient, and high standards of excellence and precision are always at the forefront of my practice” Frances Krawiec is a highly trained Nurse Practitioner who performs facial rejuvenation services including injectables at Preventous Cosmetic. As a Nurse Practitioner, Fran is able to provide independent and collaborative comprehensive clinical management of patients bringing together medical and nursing knowledge and values. Fran obtained her Bachelor of Nursing from the University of Calgary and in pursuit of excellence in healthcare, went on to obtain her Masters of Health Sciences from McMaster University and then a Nurse Practitioner Degree from the University of Western Ontario. Subsequently, Fran worked as a Nurse Practitioner in Cardiology at London Health Sciences Center and was nominated for the “Clinical Excellence Award for Cardiovascular Nursing” in 1999, at the Canadian Cardiovascular Council of Nurses Conference. Fran has worked for more than 20 years as a Nurse Practitioner in the Intensive Care Unit, Cardiology Unit and in cardiovascular medicine. Her experience in these fields has largely contributed to her exceptional knowledge of anatomy and affords her a unique approach to facial rejuvenation. Subsequent to her work in the hospitals, Fran developed an interest in medical aesthetics with a focus on anti-aging, advanced injectable techniques and complex skin conditions. As a result, Fran went on to train with our own Dr. Rohan Bissoondath, amongst others, and has since practiced as an expert injector for a number of years. She strongly believes in an individualized approach leading to sophisticated and natural results, one that begins with listening to the patient. Frances’s passion for knowledge in this field is evidenced by her continuous learning attending conferences and teachings all around the world. Her training includes Mertz Aesthetic Facial Assessment Course, MD Codes Training, AAIC Aesthetic Anatomy and Injection Course (Virtual), Paris, France with world renowned anatomist Dr. Sebastian Cotofana and Aesthetic Blueprint with Dr. Arthur Swift in Newport, California. Fran has also attended numerous conferences. When Fran is not busy helping clients rediscover and maintain their healthy, youthful skin she enjoys travelling or being active outdoors with her busy family. Fran also enjoys oil painting which contributes to her artistic side and her eye for symmetry and proportions.
