Why RNs Make Amazing Aesthetic Injectors

RN Injector & Owner of Blue Lakes Aesthetics

Hi! I’m the owner and injector behind a boutique med spa here in Loveland, Colorado—and I’m heading into my 10th year as a Registered Nurse. Over the years, I’ve built a strong foundation in patient care, skin health, and medical safety, which all directly enhance the aesthetic experience I offer my clients today.

One of the questions I get asked a lot is, “What makes a Registered Nurse qualified to do injectables?” And I love answering it—because the truth is, RNs are incredibly well-suited for this field.

We have years of medical training, and we’re taught to assess, educate, and treat patients holistically. Our background in anatomy and safety protocols means we’re not just focused on making you look good—we’re making sure you’re safe and cared for throughout the entire process.

Plus, we bring a unique mix of clinical experience and compassion. We know how to listen. Whether it’s your first treatment or your fifth, my goal is to make you feel comfortable, confident, and informed. I genuinely love helping people feel more like themselves—and a little refreshed doesn’t hurt either

I’ve had extensive education in facial anatomy, skin structure, healing processes, and how the body responds to trauma or injections. My background gives me a deeper understanding of how to treat the skin from both a cosmetic and medical perspective. That means safer techniques, more precise outcomes, and a better experience overall.

In addition to being an RN, I’m also a Certified Wound Care Nurse, which adds another layer to how I approach skin health and healing. That advanced training allows me to assess tissue quality, understand how skin behaves under stress, and enhance results in a way that protects your long-term skin integrity.

Here in Colorado, aesthetic injections can legally be offered by a variety of professionals. But training matters—and there’s a big difference between being allowed to inject and being deeply qualified to do so. As an RN with nearly a decade of hands-on experience, I bring both clinical precision and personalized care to every treatment.

So if you're looking for a natural, customized aesthetic experience grounded in both science and artistry, I’d love to welcome you to my space here in Loveland. You’ll never be just another face—I treat every client like a collaboration, with safety and beautiful results always top of mind.
