Our Story

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. 

Dr. Stephanie Young-Niemeyer

D.D.S UWI, PgDip Aesthetic Medicine USW, UK, B.A. psychology

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.

Botox or Muscle Relaxers

Ona-botulinum toxin is injected by our aesthetic doctor into the facial muscles in order to relax them and prevent their contraction. Through this relaxation, the lines that have formed wrinkles are then reduced and the deeper lines also have a chance to rest, in order to prevent them from getting deeper.

Dermal Fillers

As one ages or, in some cases, loses a large amount of weight, you will tend to notice a loss of volume in your face. This occurs due to collagen – a substance in our bodies that gives the structure to our tissues – beginning to break down. Fillers can be injected to restore the youth in your face and revitalize your appearance. 

Microneedling

This is a medical grade cosmetic procedure which involves pricking the skin with tiny sterilized needles in the form of a pen. Our clinic uses the Melanopen. These small and multiple wounds cause your body to make more collagen and elastin which heal your skin and help you look younger. 

Chemical Peel

Caribbean skin needs to be treated differently. Our skin tones are made of so many ethnic mixes that we require extra care. We are in the sun almost every single day of our lives and that makes us even more at risk for adverse side effects over the years. The sun spots, melasma, aging skin, acne and uneven skin tone are all a result of hormones, diet and the sun. Our aesthetic doctor has a special interest in skin of color and has a wealth of knowledge and experience in treating our population. Extreme care and consideration is taken into account with each patient’s case. Our chemical peels especially cater to skin of color and are used to treat a multitude of skin conditions. 

Laser Hair Removal

We offer laser hair removal with the first Lumenis Sheer Desire Laser in Trinidad & Tobago. We are proud to offer this state-of-the-art, world-renowned brand at our skin clinic. We have international support and the best technology that can treat you quickly and safely. The Lumenis Light Sheer Desire hails from Israel and utilizes a safe wavelength for all skin colours.

Cryolipolysis or Fat freezing

Our Cryosculpting machine uses thermal shock to freeze fat cells, triggering them to self-destruct without damaging the skin. The dead fat cells are then flushed out of the body over the next few weeks, effectively killing them. With their first treatment, clients will lose up to an inch or more.

Radiofrequency for skin tightening & lymphatic drainage

Radio frequency is a high frequency electromagnetic wave that can penetrate the dermis and subcutaneous tissue through the fat layer, take heat into deep skin and then accelerate regeneration and reconstruction of skin deep-tissue. RF can produce energy by impedance from the skin, which can make the fatty layer temperature increase in a very short time, and this heat will also act on collagen in the dermis layer. Collagen in the dermis layer will shrink immediately after the temperature rise and proliferation of new collagen, so as to achieve the effect of skin pulling, pigmentation improvement, skin whitening and wrinkle removal.

Ultrasonic Cavitation

Ultrasonic Cavitation is a non-invasive technique which emits ultrasonic waves to cause what are known as cavitations (tiny bubbles) in fatty tissue. It is an effective, non-surgical treatment that reduces body fat and cellulite in selected body areas, safely and it is completely painless.

Laser Lipo using light therapy for weight loss

Laser Lipolysis is growing in popularity as a procedure for the tummy, arms, male breasts, hips and outer thighs as well as smaller areas of the body such as redefining the jaw line, neck and chin area. It carries fewer risks as traditional liposuction and is a less invasive surgical procedure, requiring fewer incisions and resulting in less scarring. We use laser liposuction after liquid liposuction to tighten the skin.

Hi-EMT (High intensity electro-magnetic Technology)

Did you know that there was an easy way to build muscle, burn fat, and contour the body, all without exercise or even any surgery, and totally pain-free? It’s true, and it comes in the new cutting edge tech of the High Intensity Electromagnetic Technology (or, HIEMT, for short).
