Playing the long game 👏

We started working together in October 2024, and this after photo was taken September 2025…so almost a full year of intentional, layered treatments.

This wasn’t a “one and done” visit. It was a thoughtful, step-by-step process that included:

•Midface/Cheeks: 3 sessions to rebuild structure, soften shadows/ contours and support under the eyes
•Chin + Chin Shadow: 3 sessions to rebalance proportions and soften the shadows/ transitions
•Temples: 2 sessions for upper-face support and blending transition to middle third
•Nasolabial folds: to soften lines and shadows
•Lid–Cheek Junction / Lateral Orbital Rim: 2 sessions to brighten, smooth and blend the connection to the cheek
•Lips: once for soft definition and hydration

Why so many visits? Because true facial balancing takes time.
1. It’s not about overfilling in one day
2. It’s about layering intentionally and reassessing between sessions
3. It’s about letting the product settle and seeing what’s actually needed next
4. And it’s about treating the entire face so everything evolves together

Even with different lighting 🙄 (since I changed spaces), you can still see the impact:

Her face looks brighter, lighter, and more cohesive. Softer contours, fewer harsh transitions, and a refreshed overall harmony.

Happy 27th birthday to my girl, Vanessa 💕

So thankful for you, for your heart, your work ethic, your creativity, and the way you show up every single day for Artisse and for our patients. You’ve become such an important part of this place and of my life, and I’m so proud of everything you’re building and becoming.

Here’s to another year of growth, laughter, and doing what we love - together 🤍✨

It’s not the “fun, easy side of nursing” people think it is. It’s actually incredibly hard to break into. So many nurses want to leave the hospital for aesthetics because it seems glamorous, lighter, or more lucrative. But the reality is, you don’t start with a full schedule. You don’t walk in with patients waiting for you. You’re relearning an entirely new skill set. Growth takes years and often feels slower and harder than you imagined.

And unlike any other area of medicine, you’re expected to show up and market yourself online to grow your business. That means putting yourself out there publicly, which opens the door to constant comparison…watching other injectors with packed books, flawless results, and massive followings, while you’re just trying to get a handful of new patients through the door. The truth is, it can feel discouraging, lonely, and overwhelming.

On top of that, this is still medicine. You’re on your feet all day, seeing patient after patient, making real-time medical decisions, and carrying the weight of responsibility for their safety and their happiness. Oh and wait, if you want to get better? You’re reinvesting thousands of dollars into continuing education, cadaver labs, conferences, and advanced trainings—because that’s what it takes to grow, to refine, and to truly serve your patients well.

From the outside, it might look like a fun, cutesy job. But the reality is, this career asks for everything…your time, your energy, your humility, your persistence, and your passion. It’s not for everyone, and that’s okay. But for those who push through, who embrace the hard parts alongside the rewarding ones, aesthetics can be one of the most fulfilling paths you’ll ever choose.

My patient told me she felt like she was in my art studio, watching me sculpt. And not to be dramatic, but that’s exactly what I was doing. When I’m performing a nonsurgical rhinoplasty, I’m closely analyzing. I’m making marks, stepping back, leaning in, walking in circles, making small adjustments. It probably feels like I’m right in your face the whole time .. because I am. A NSNJ is highly detailed, millimeter-based procedure where precision and anatomy really matter.

Nonsurgical rhinoplasty involves using filler to subtly reshape the nose : refining the dorsal line, elevating a tip, camouflaging a hump, or balancing asymmetry. It doesn’t replace surgery, but it can create significant impact by changing how light and shadow fall across the nose and profile.

It’s one of the most technique-sensitive procedures I perform, and also one of the most rewarding, because subtle refinements can be so impactful without changing what makes someone look like themselves.

I shared this case in a poll last week:

• 53% said they’d dissolve immediately.
• Even after I added “no pain + cap refill

3 year maintenance 🤍 scroll to see how well it’s held up

This patient’s NSNJ was done 3 years ago, and now we’re simply in the maintenance phase.

That’s one of the things I love about nonsurgical rhinoplasty: With the right plan and provider, once the foundation is built, it’s no longer about major changes — it’s about tiny, intentional tweaks that preserve shape, structure, and longevity.

Full face 🤍

This beautiful patient has trusted me with her face for the past few years but at this visit, she gave me full rein to take a true full-face approach. Instead of focusing on just one area, we assessed how her features worked together and treated what was actually needed for balance and harmony.

Her biggest concern has always been her under eyes. She felt like she constantly looked tired, and also noticed that her face felt bottom-heavy. We addressed both by working from the top down:

✔️We restored volume to her midface, which gave her back youthful contour, supported the under eye, and softened the flattened appearance through the cheeks.

✔️We treated the under eyes and lid-cheek junction to reduce hollowing, blend transitions, and minimize the appearance looking tired.

✔️In the lower face, we added projection to her chin, treated the pre-jowl sulcus to smooth out dips in her jawline, and softened chin shadows to blur transitions.

✔️We finished with subtle lip enhancement to restore structure and hydration—just enough to bring balance without distraction.

The result is a more lifted, heart-shaped appearance—not by overfilling, but by restoring volume where it was lost/missing and creating harmony between features. This is the power of a full-face approach: soft, natural results that don’t scream “filler”

I’ve been doing non-surgical rhinoplasties for 5 years now — and if you’ve ever been in my chair for one, you know this is one of my favorite treatments.

Not because it’s trendy. Not because it’s quick. But because it’s impactful.

There’s just something about the nose. It’s the centerpiece of the face. The feature so many people feel self-conscious about and the one that, when thoughtfully refined, can completely change how someone feels.

When I’m doing a nose, I’m not rushing. I’m not just “injecting.” I’m zoning in. It’s not a cookie-cutter treatment. It’s detailed. It’s complex. I’m using years of anatomy knowledge and artistry to create safe, natural results.

And every time I hand my patient the mirror and see their reaction… that’s the moment I’m reminded why I love this work so much.

Happy 4th 🍉🌭🧴

Just a few of my favorite things

I like my skincare routine, wearing no makeup, lounging around in sweats and an oversized tee. I like ordering pizza with a large coke and binge watching tv in the dark with my puppy. I like overpriced matcha and a book. I like good food, a spicy marg, and a new reservation. I like planning trips around the world with my husband. I like a good boat day, in a bikini, sunshine shinin’, a seltzer in hand, laughing with my friends. I like online shopping and adding things to my cart that I’ll never buy. I like showing up for my clients and helping ya’ll feel beautiful. I like romanticizing every normal part of my day.

Sometimes it’s about soft routines, tiny luxuries, and being obsessed with your own little world.

✨chapter 33 ✨

Every year teaches me something but this one… it softened me in ways I didn’t know I needed. It reminded me how sacred peace is, how real growth feels quiet, and how much strength there is in choosing calmness over survival mode.

I’m proud of the woman I’m becoming, not because she’s perfect, but because she keeps going.

Here’s to : More clarity. More confidence. More peace. Less performing. Less proving.

Feeling grateful for this life, this career, and every person who’s been part of it.

Happy birthday to me. ♊️

This transformation is the result of consistency, not quick fixes.

The first comparison shows a 7-month difference after just 2 vials of Sculptra and routine Dysport. While the lighting has changed (new treatment space!), the improvements in contour, skin texture, and softening of lines are still very visible.

But to really appreciate the full journey, swipe to the second photo—our starting point in 2022. Over the past few years, we’ve used a total of 5 vials of Sculptra, stayed on top of Dysport, and committed to a solid skincare routine. You’ll notice the difference in facial hollowing, midface support, and overall facial harmony.

This is a great example of what slow, intentional aesthetic treatments can look like: subtle, natural, and supportive of the face as it evolves over time.
