By Shelley Galbreath When facial plastic surgeons Dr. Thomas Herendeen and Dr. Amy Lai made the decision to expand on the aesthetic services offered by the plastic surgery division of Ear, Nose and Throat Associates, ENT Aesthetics was born in August 2021. ENT is a collaboration between Aesthetic Nurse Kari Dietrich, RN, as well as Herendeen and Lai.

ENT is a medical spa, a combination of an aesthetic medical center, and a day spa providing non-surgical aesthetic medical services, such as Botox, dermal fillers, and lasers. Services are performed under the supervision of medical directors Herendeen and Lai. “The goal was to bring an esthetician on board to expand our service menu to include custom facials, lash, and brow treatments, along with waxing,” Dietrich said. “Once we began the search for our new esthetician, we quickly realized Rachel McCarthy was the perfect addition to our team.” Dietrich has been in aesthetics in the Fort Wayne community for over 20 years, 14 in dermatology and 7 in plastic surgery. “After working in aesthetics for 18 years, I made the decision to return to school for two years to become a registered nurse so I would be able to offer my clientele more advanced treatments,” Dietrich said. McCarthy graduated from aesthetics school in March 2022 and worked at a day spa where she performed custom facials, waxing, and lash and brow services. Her goal was to work for a medical spa. Currently, she is continuing her education to extend service offerings to better serve ENT clients. Lela Eakright is the client coordinator at ENT. “Lela’s vast knowledge of products and services help guide guests every step of the way,” Dietrich said. “She is passionate about customer service, follow through, and the relationships we build with our clientele.” According to Dietrich, today’s patient sees the setting, aesthetic, touch, and feel of the treatment equally important to the outcome. “ENT Aesthetics wants to provide our clients with an unmatched experience, from the convenience of being able to schedule your appointment online and friendly knowledgeable staff, to the most important part of your treatment, the patient/provider relationship. Skin care, injectables, laser, and medical grade products delivered thoughtfully is our forte, and we are committed to providing the finest quality in services, products, and expertise.” Dietrich said. In September, ENT began a new service called Total Skin – a double treatment involving Genius, a radio frequency microneedling treatment to help rebuild collagen at a deeper level, producing skin plumping and skin tightening in the face, neck, and jowls. The second treatment is Ultra LaseMD, a polishing laser to treat everything from pore size, textural issues, pigment, and overall skin rejuvenation. “We have been seeing amazing results with this multi-modality treatment,” Dietrich said. “Ultra LaseMD also provides us with a new state-of-the-art treatment to regrow hair called KeraLase. KeraLase can be used to help treat post Covid hair loss, hair loss from stress, and traction alopecia. ENT Aesthetics is one of the only providers in the state of Indiana to offer this new service. Hair regrowth can be seen after one or two treatments.” ENT Aesthetics is located at 7926 West Jefferson Blvd. in Fort Wayne. Hours of operation are Monday – Friday 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. The spa is closed Saturday and Sunday. For more information contact ENT at 260-497-5500 or online at entaesthetics.com. a
