Meet the Founder


Kristen Kneidel, RN, BSN

Kristen Kneidel,  RN, BSN is a highly skilled nurse injector who found her passion for injecting in 2014. Kristen has been an RN since 1997 and brings her knowledge of products, patient safety, and her art of injecting to give her patients a natural, refreshed look. Kristen provides cosmetic consultations and injectable treatments including Botox, Dysport, a full range of hyaluronic acid fillers, Sculptra,  and Kybella. She deeply values ongoing continuing education in order to maintain the most advanced techniques in the industry. Kristen has a gentle, honest, and caring approach, and through her art, she creates a unique, individualized treatment plan designed to help each patient look and feel their best.

“I have a sincere passion for what I do because I truly love the artistry and celebrating each individual's unique beauty. My goal is not to distract from that uniqueness, but, rather, to enhance it. I value doing thorough assessments, understanding the client and their expectations, and educating them on the best treatment plan. When trust is built and a relationship is formed, they begin to understand that they will be getting a natural soft result every time that translates well to friends, family, and coworkers. They feel refreshed and not overdone. It's about nuances. ...The slightly lifted cheek, the dark circles that have diminished, a stronger chin, the slightly sharper jawline, the softer lines in the forehead. It's decreasing shadows, adding light, and lift to the face rather than having the obvious injectable appearance so many people are afraid of getting."
