Relax Med Aesthetics was born out of a need to approach our unique caribbean skin with expert care, giving time and attention to the patient who feels neglected and unsure of where to turn. We provide a medical grade range of services that are managed closely by our expertise in order to get you results as we journey with you hand in hand. Many people are looking for a solution but can’t quite get strong enough products over the counter, and on the other hand they do not want a prescription for drugs to solve their skin issues. We fill that void so nicely and help with our topicals and protocols as we understand skin, ingredients and we journey with you.

Our aesthetic doctor, Dr. Young-Niemeyer, entered the world of cosmetic medicine after completing her Doctor of Dental Surgery in 2015 at The University of the West Indies. She realized that after spending much time assessing teeth and by extension facial aesthetics, her patients in the Caribbean needed a science-backed approach for our unique skin types. She furthered her training with Dr. Desmer Destang, an internationally-renowned aesthetic doctor from the caribbean with a MA in Aesthetic Medicine and MA in Dermatology. Dr. Young-Niemeyer was closely mentored by Dr. Destang with a special focus and interest in skin of colour in the Caribbean.
Dr. Young-Niemeyer completed a Post Graduate diploma in Aesthetic Medicine at the University of Southern Wales, using the most up-to-date techniques. She began treating skin of colour in 2017 and prides herself on understanding and reading Caribbean skin with expertise.
We have such a mixed, nuanced skin type in Trinidad. We have Indian mixed with Chinese, mixed with Black and Caucasian. These mixtures require expert care under our Caribbean sun; the treatment and products can't be too harsh or there will be long-term damage. Our approach is caring, holistic and genuine. We get both short and long term results.”
Dr. Young-Niemeyer is able to treat skin conditions such as melasma, acne, rosacea, hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone, aging skin, skin tags and milia, acne scarring and pitting. She is also versed in laser treatments, injectables and fat loss techniques.
