Welcome

Welcome to my first blog post. I have created this page so that you can get to know me and my thoughts about the non-surgical procedural world. I want to first talk about why I chose to become an aesthetic injector.

Ever since I was a little girl there were two things I was passionate about: art and science. On one hand, I loved to draw, paint, and create. On the other hand, I was curious about how the body worked. I think it’s so fascinating that our body systems are so perfectly balanced, and when something is off, they adapt and do everything to fight for us. We are all walking pieces of art that may have similar anatomy, but are all completely unique at the same time. This brings me to why I became an aesthetic nurse: it is a profession that combines art and science, my two favorite subjects.

The first element required in the skill of injecting is knowing the anatomy of the face like the back of my hand. In order to know where to inject filler or neurotoxins, facial anatomy is key. This knowledge comes with reading and studying literature, learning from many medical professionals, and observing procedures. Anatomy varies from person to person which is why it is crucial to analyze each client before any procedure. As an injector, I am always studying my client’s face, making myself aware of where the arteries run and where certain muscles are located. Location and depth of injections effects procedural results and safety!

The second element in the skill of injecting is having an artistic eye. I can’t emphasize enough how important it is to be an artist when it comes to injecting. The client’s face is a canvas and I have to reshape and enhance what is in front of me. Everyone’s face is different and unique, and so studying the symmetry of the face and the size of each feature, is so important. And did you know that lighting and angles play a huge part in injectables (especially fillers) just like paintings? Well they do. During each filler procedure I am constantly looking at the face at different angles and with different lightings, as this can determine where I inject next! Now you understand why being an artist is so important when it comes to injecting?

I have always been an artist, and integrating this into a profession that can enhance beauty and rejuvenate the face is incredible.

I absolutely love being a part of the aesthetics world and it allows me to help clients become more confident in their own skin, educate them about their bodies, and uncover their underlying beauty. I can’t tell you how many times clients have told me “oh I never realized my face had that feature” or “wow my prior injector never taught me that.” I have worked so hard to learn the ins and outs of this profession, and I continue to learn everyday.

I hope that after reading my first blog, you have been able to get to know a little bit about me. Reach out to me with any questions and comment! I would love to know your thoughts and feedback. Stay tuned for next week’s blog:)
