ALETA SLOAN, PA-C
OWNER AND MEDICAL AESTHETICS PRACTITIONER
Meet Aleta Sloan, founder, owner, and chief practitioner for United Medical and Aesthetics. She attended PA school in Baltimore, Maryland, after obtaining her Bachelor of Science at McDaniel College, formerly known as Western Maryland College, in 1989. She graduated from one of the original PA programs in the country and at the age of 23 became the first PA in Eastern NC. She has maintained her privileges at Carolina East Medical Center for 30 years and has committed herself to serving her community in Emergency Medicine, Internal Medicine, and Cardiology.
With her love and passion for real food and running, and believing in her heart that it is better to pay the grocer than the doctor, she feels compelled to help anyone who crosses her path. Aleta’s training in Internal Medicine, Cardiology, and Aesthetics are uniquely fashioned for you to feel empowered, healthy, and educated so you can achieve your goals. Whether it’s nutritional counseling using your own genetic information via 23andMe (a scientific approach to vitamin supplementation, cardiovascular health, immune functioning, and weight loss) or providing aesthetic services, she has the skills.
Her love for Aesthetic Medicine has driven her to take countless hours of courses to further her education. She is now trained and certified in injectables such as dermal fillers and neurotoxins. Aleta is certified by Aesthetics Advancement (which is the leader and premier aesthetic trainer offering in-depth courses), Allergan Aesthetics, and Empire Medical. She has also invested in solo training with top Allergan injectors in North Carolina. Aleta is excited to continue her path in Aesthetic Medicine and recently added two of the top lasers in the United States for skin resurfacing and micro-needling with radiofrequency. She looks forward to helping you with all your needs!

RESUME
Join Aleta Sloan, PA-C, on the Best in Aesthetics Tour 2024!
Good morning, everybody. I’ve got exciting news that I’ve been waiting to share. I’ve been asked to speak for Cartessa for 2024 in the tour called The Best in Aesthetics. I’ve been queened the laser queen, which sometimes you can’t pick what you’re queened as, but you are what you are. So, I have to say that I love that name. I do a lot of other things, but lasers are clearly, and skin quality, I think brings most beauty to anyone regardless of wrinkles and saggy skin. If you’ve got good quality skin, that’s the best. Being queened the Laser Queen, I’ve been asked by Cartessa, which I’m super flattered to be part of their 2024 Best in Aesthetics Tour, and we’re going to be speaking first in Raleigh, March 23rd at the Umstead. So, mark that on your calendars. I’m going to be speaking about how to start at a successful med spa and base your packages and practice on value, not beating down to the lowest price. You have to base your practice or your services on value, so you can’t be compared to anybody else. So, I talked about strategies about how to do that and a little bit of laser stuff in there. So, thank you Cartessa, that I couldn’t be more excited and I’m looking forward to 2024 traveling across the country, speaking about the best thing I love lasers and skin quality. Bye!

LISA PRICE
AESTHETICIAN/LASER TECHNICIAN
Lisa joined UM&A in 2024 after spending 10 years working in a plastic surgeon’s office in Richmond, VA, where she administered chemical peels of varying depths, many types of laser treatments (including IPL), a multitude of laser resurfacing procedures, laser hair removal, microneedling RF treatments, and more.
She trained at the Institute of Advanced Medical Aesthetics and then received her Master Aesthetics Licensure at American Spirit Institute focusing on anti-aging and improving the quality and texture of the skin. She is well-versed in the layers of the skin, skin conditions, product ingredients, and how those ingredients work in the skin. Lisa is familiar with working on skin of color.
Lisa graduated from UNCW with a Bachelor’s in English and spent 11 years teaching but found her way into this industry and fell in love with being able to manipulate the skin into behaving with quality products and specialized skin care plans for each individual client.
Outside of work, Lisa loves spending time with family and friends, going to dinner, and seeing live music. She loves being near the water, so enjoying beach time year-round is part of what Lisa loves about being back in Wilmington.

With combined experience in Dermatology, Plastic Surgery, and Aesthetics, Miranda has gained a vast knowledge of “all things skin,” whether it be cosmetic or medical conditions.

She was married in 2016, and her husband’s job relocated them a few times, which created the opportunity for her to experience med spas in other regions.
