Mallory Stahl – Office Manager
Mallory has been in the industry for 6 years and has loved every minute of it! She graduated from Skin Science with Honors as a Licensed Master Esthetician. Soon after school, she opened and started Candessa Surgical and Laser Esthetics to augment Dr. Kjar’s already booming practice. She developed the Recovery Packages that are apart of every surgery, created the menu of treatments, and decided on the medical grade products that are offered. Over the years, she has taught many courses on skin care and wellness and loves to provide a reputable source for learning.
Along with her Esthetic license, she received additional training in Lymphatic Drainage Massage: The Dr. Vodder Method. Her extensive training was under the apprentice to Dr. Vodder, Anneli M. Johnson. This method has been imperative to the recovery of all of our surgical patients and only a select few have been trained in this modality.
She has spent the last 5 years managing and nurturing the medical spa. Mallory is passionate about the plastic surgery field, medical grade skin care, educating, and overall wellness – inside and out.
