The (training) road less traveled

When I first entered the world of aesthetic medicine, I quickly realized something that shocked me: there’s no standard education path for aesthetic clinicians in the U.S.

Let that sink in.

If you’re getting Botox, filler, or even a laser treatment, there’s no guarantee that your provider received thorough, unbiased, hands-on training. In fact, many trainings are sponsored by pharmaceutical companies and focus on quick, sales-driven techniques — not on patient safety or artistry.

That didn’t sit right with me. It still doesn’t.

So I made a decision early in my career: I would pursue a different path. One rooted in integrity, safety, and real expertise — not sales quotas or industry shortcuts.

What Most People Don’t Realize About Aesthetic Training

In the U.S., there’s no board certification for aesthetic injectors. No required curriculum. No mandatory mentorship.

Most providers receive their training through short, often crowded, weekend courses — many of them sponsored by drug companies with a goal of increasing sales, not necessarily elevating skill or safety.

It’s like learning to drive by watching someone else, then being handed the keys on a freeway.

That’s not how I wanted to treat real people, especially not the women who walk through my doors hoping to feel more confident, natural, and seen.

Why I Choose Private, Unbiased Education

Instead of chasing the fastest route, I’ve intentionally invested in private, small-group and one-on-one trainings taught by global leaders in the field. These trainings are not affiliated with pharmaceutical companies, which means I get real education, not product pitches.

This includes:

• Cadaver dissection labs — to understand exactly what lies beneath the skin I’m treating
• Hands-on mentorships — with master injectors who prioritize safety, technique, and natural outcomes
• Advanced ultrasound training — so I can see below the skin and avoid critical structures when injecting
• International education — like the 3-day, 1:1 mentorship in the UK I did last week for ultrasound-guided injections and complications management

Each of these learning experiences helps me sharpen my eye, improve safety, and tailor treatments to each unique face, including yours.

Why This Matters for You

If you’ve ever felt nervous about getting Botox or filler — you’re not alone. I hear it all the time:

“What if I look fake?”
“Is it safe?”
“I don’t want to be someone’s experiment.”

These are valid concerns. Aesthetic medicine is powerful, and in the wrong hands, it can lead to results that don’t reflect who you are.

But in the right hands it can be subtle, safe, and confidence-building.

The truth is, results don’t just come from the product. They come from the provider.

That’s why I train the way I do.

Every time I study facial anatomy in a cadaver lab, every ultrasound scan I take, every time I spend hours in training instead of just relying on a weekend course — it’s for one reason:

To keep you safe and deliver results that feel like you.

Ultrasound: A New Standard in Filler Safety

One of the most exciting tools in modern aesthetic medicine is ultrasound-guided injections — a skillset I’m flew to the UK to advance even further.

Ultrasound allows me to see exactly where I’m placing filler — which means I can avoid important blood vessels, reduce risks, and make more precise, natural-looking enhancements.

Very few providers are trained in this. Even fewer invest in private mentorships overseas. But for me, it’s not optional; it’s the next step in providing elite, patient-first care.

You Deserve More Than Cookie-Cutter Aesthetics

The women I treat — many of whom are in their 40s, 50s, or 60s — are not trying to look 25 again. They’re looking for something deeper:

• To soften the tired look under their eyes
• To feel more awake and aligned with how vibrant they feel inside
• To reclaim confidence in photos or social moments
• To invest in themselves after decades of taking care of everyone else

That’s why I approach your care the same way I approach my education: thoughtfully, with purpose, and never one-size-fits-all.

And behind every treatment I offer is a foundation of high-quality education, carefully chosen not just for my growth, but for your peace of mind.
