Registered Nurse | Medical Aesthetician

Aubrey Houchin has been in medical aesthetics since 2003. She is passionate about helping people feel good about themselves and takes a knowledgeable and compassionate approach to providing the best aesthetic experience possible as she strives to help patients achieve their goals.

As a nurse injector, Aubrey combines her knowledge of facial anatomy, clinical training, and expertise in all things cosmetic to achieve a beautiful result in a safe and comfortable setting.
