Arielle Grzesiak, RN
Hi, I’m Arielle Grzesiak, RN — aesthetic nurse, soon-to-be BSN, and a cosmetic injectable enthusiast.
I’ve been in the industry for 7 years, working my way from receptionist, manager, to injector (with a stop as a licensed esthetician along the way). I specialize in natural-looking results, with a soft spot for temple filler and facial balancing. I’m always learning, always caffeinated (brown sugar shaken espresso, please), and absolutely love educating and connecting with my clients.
Outside the treatment room, you can find me snowboarding, wake-surfing, golfing, shopping and spending time with my boyfriend.

Specialties/ fav service:
The temples are one of my favorite areas to inject because of their significant yet often under appreciated impact on facial balance. Volume loss in the temples can contribute to a hollow, aged appearance. Treating this area can soften the overall look and create a more youthful appearance.
Fun fact:
If I could be any animal, I would be a bird so that I could fly and then I’d never have to sit in traffic again LOL
