Kimmy Vu, RN, BSN
Aesthetic Nurse Injector
Kimmy Vu is our talented aesthetic nurse injector.
She began her career working on the pharmacy side of medicine, but soon realized she was more interested in hands-on patient care. Kimmy first started as a surgical floor nurse and quickly progressed to a Level 1 Trauma ICU. As a result of years of experience in trauma, she developed a deeper understanding and respect for the body’s mechanisms of healing and repair.
As an aesthetic nurse, Kimmy is especially passionate about combining highly effective regenerative therapies with cosmetic treatments. She utilizes biostimulators, energy-based devices such as miconeedling and lasers, and our more familiar fillers and neurotoxins to create treatment plans that go above and beyond hiding the signs of aging, to restore skin quality as part of the process. She spends a significant amount of time with clients during consultations to understand their concerns and educate them on the mechanisms behind what they are seeing in the mirror, in order to build a custom plan that truly addresses their needs.
Kimmy received her Bachelor of Science in nursing from Arizona State University and has been working in aesthetics since 2019. She is certified in injectables and many modalities of nonsurgical cosmetic treatments. She continually seeks to learn new information and advanced techniques in aesthetics to give her clients the best possible outcomes. Kimmy strongly believes that everyone deserves to look as fantastic on the outside as they feel on the inside, and that good planning brings about great results!
