Amanda Grillo MSN, APRN, FNP-C
As co-founder and medical director, I am a dedicated Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner with a passion for bringing out the inherent beauty and confidence in every individual I have the privilege of working with. My nursing journey spans 14 years and for the past 7 years I have been working full time in aesthetic medicine. I have had the incredible opportunity to witness the transformative power of aesthetics in enhancing self-esteem and well-being and I have loved every moment I get to spend with my patients!
What Sets Me Apart: Through countless patient interactions, I've come to understand that aesthetics is not just about appearances—it's about empowering individuals to embrace their unique beauty and radiate confidence. With a deep understanding of facial anatomy, a keen eye for detail, and a comprehensive grasp of the latest aesthetic techniques, I strive to create results that are not just beautiful but authentic.
My Approach: I firmly believe that every face tells a story, and my approach to aesthetic treatments is anchored in personalized care. I take the time to listen to my patients' aspirations, concerns, and goals. It's not just about treatments; it's about co-creating a journey towards self-assuredness and renewed vitality.
Continuous Learning: In the ever-evolving field of aesthetic medicine, staying ahead is paramount. I'm an ardent believer in continuous learning and professional growth. Regularly attending workshops, seminars, and staying updated with the latest research allows me to offer my patients cutting-edge treatments that are both safe and effective.
Beyond Aesthetics: While aesthetics is my specialty and passion I am also married to the love of my life and mother to three beautiful children. In my spare time you can find me enjoying time with friends and family, traveling the world, and anything near the ocean.
Thank you for considering me as your provider in your aesthetic journey. I look forward to meeting you and being a part of your story. Xo, Amanda
