You Became a Nurse to Make a Difference. Aesthetics Lets You Do It Differently.
A career in aesthetic nursing is one of the most clinically rich, financially rewarding, and personally fulfilling paths available to RNs today. At Évry Aesthetics in Elmhurst, we train nurses who are ready to enter it — with the hands-on skills, clinical education, and the confidence to actually do the work.
If you're a nurse who's been quietly looking at the aesthetic medicine space and wondering whether it's for you — this is written for you. Not for the nurses who've already made the leap. Not for the ones who've been injecting for years. For the one who loves patient care, loves precision, has excellent hands and excellent instincts, and has been thinking about a career that lets them work differently. More autonomously. With a different kind of outcome. Building something that feels like their own. If that's you, keep reading — because we built our training program for exactly that person.
At Évry Aesthetics in Elmhurst, IL, our training program is led by Kandice Kissinger, APRN, MSN, FNP-C — a Family Nurse Practitioner with full practice authority in Illinois, and the clinical mind behind one of the Chicago suburbs' most sophisticated regenerative and aesthetic practices. What we offer isn't a credential course or a checkbox curriculum. It's a mentorship-forward, hands-on training experience that gives nurses the clinical skills they need to enter aesthetic practice with real competence and real confidence.
What draws nurses to this field — and what keeps them there
The path into aesthetic nursing looks different for every nurse. Some arrive after years in emergency or critical care, burned out by the pace and drawn to an environment where they can slow down, build patient relationships, and see the direct impact of their work. Some come from oncology or surgical nursing, where precision and anatomy are already second nature. Some are newer nurses who saw the field early and knew. What they all share is this: they want to use their clinical skills in a setting where excellence is visible, relationships are long-term, and the work feels genuinely theirs.
Clinical Precision
Aesthetic nursing rewards the skills you've spent years developing — anatomical knowledge, injection technique, patient assessment, and the clinical judgment that separates good outcomes from great ones. Your nursing background isn't a starting point. It's an advantage.
Patient Relationships
Aesthetic patients return. They trust you with something personal. They refer their friends and family. The patient relationships built in aesthetic practice are among the most rewarding in nursing — long-term, warm, and genuinely mutual.
Schedule Autonomy
Aesthetic nursing is largely outpatient, appointment-based, and operates on a predictable schedule. No more 12-hour shifts. No more rotating weekends. A career that actually fits around the rest of your life.
Financial Upside
Skilled aesthetic injectors are among the highest-earning nurses in clinical practice. The combination of a strong skill set, a growing patient base, and a high-demand service creates earning potential that traditional nursing settings rarely match.
The Évry training curriculum — built for nurses who want to do this right
We designed our training program around a simple principle: nurses who train with us should leave ready to treat real patients — not just in theory. That means a true clinical foundation. Real patients. Real anatomy. Real feedback. And a curriculum that covers a broad spectrum of modern aesthetic medicine, not just the basics.
01
Neurotoxin Injection — Letybo® & Botox
Facial anatomy for neurotoxin placement — muscle groups, danger zones, and the anatomical variation that matters clinically. Injection technique for the glabella, forehead, crow's feet, brow lift, lip flip, masseter, platysma, and chin. Dosing philosophy, unit calculation, and the Korean approach to conservative, movement-preserving treatment. Managing patient expectations, onset timelines, and follow-up assessment. We train on Letybo® as our primary neurotoxin — and explain exactly why, so you can have that conversation confidently with your own patients.
02
Dermal Filler — RHA® Collection
Facial fat compartments, ligaments, vascular anatomy, and the high-risk zones every injector must know cold before placing a single syringe. Product selection — understanding filler rheology and why the right product in the right tissue plane produces a completely different result than the wrong one. Cannula vs. needle technique. Lip augmentation, cheek volumization, tear trough, jawline, and nasolabial fold treatment — each with a distinct anatomical approach. Complication recognition and management, including hyaluronidase reversal. Vascular occlusion protocol — because no injector should ever be caught without one.
03
Advanced Skin Treatments — PDRN & Microneedling
The science of PDRN polynucleotides and Rejuran® — mechanism of action, clinical evidence, the K-beauty context, and why skin quality treatment has become the fastest-growing category in aesthetic medicine. Microneedling technique, device calibration, depth selection, and the delivery protocol that makes PDRN microneedling produce clinical-grade results rather than just surface stimulation. Patient selection, contraindications, and treatment sequencing. This is the treatment that separates providers who offer injectables from providers who offer comprehensive skin health — and it's one of the most in-demand skills in the field right now.
04
Regenerative Therapies — Endoret® PRGF
The Endoret® PRGF system — processing protocol, growth factor science, leukocyte-free formulation, and why it's clinically distinct from conventional PRP. Applications in aesthetic medicine: skin rejuvenation, under-eye plasma gel, and hair restoration. How to explain autologous therapy to patients in plain language that builds trust rather than confusion. Combining PRGF with other treatments for layered, comprehensive protocols. As regenerative aesthetics continues to grow, providers who understand and can offer PRGF are increasingly sought after — and significantly differentiated from their peers.
05
Patient Consultation & Treatment Planning
How to conduct a consultation that actually serves the patient — facial assessment, goal-setting, honest expectation management, and building a treatment plan that addresses the full picture rather than one isolated concern. The language of aesthetic medicine: how to talk about treatments with patients who don't know the terminology and patients who know too much of it. Consent, documentation, and safety protocols. Photography standards and before/after documentation. This is the skill most training programs skip — and the one that determines whether a technically competent injector builds a real patient following or struggles to retain anyone.
OUR PHILOSOPHY ON TRAINING
We're not producing injectors. We're developing clinicians.
There's a version of aesthetic training that's fast, cheap, and produces nurses who can technically perform a procedure without truly understanding it. We're not that. Every module in our curriculum is built backward from the clinical question: what does a nurse need to know — about anatomy, about product science, about patient psychology — to make genuinely good decisions at the bedside? Technique matters. But clinical judgment is what keeps patients safe and builds careers that last. That's what we teach.
The aesthetic nursing field is growing. The demand for skilled, well-trained injectors across the Chicago suburbs and beyond is real — and it is significantly outpacing the supply of nurses who have received genuinely rigorous training. The nurses who invest in their education at this stage, who choose a training program that gives them clinical depth rather than just a certificate, are the ones who build careers that last.
If you're a nurse in the Elmhurst, Oak Brook, Wheaton, Lombard, or greater Chicago area who is ready to make this move — we'd love to talk. Reach out to learn more about our upcoming training cohorts, program structure, and what the next step looks like for you.

Kandice is the clinical backbone of Évry Aesthetics. As a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner with full practice authority in Illinois, she has built a practice that leads with regenerative science, advanced aesthetics, and clinical precision — the kind of medspa that attracts patients who want more than a quick Botox appointment and providers who want more than a basic training environment.
What makes her an exceptional training mentor isn't just her clinical skill — it's her approach. She teaches the way she practices: with a deep respect for anatomy, a commitment to honest outcomes, and a belief that nurses who understand the why behind every decision make better injectors than nurses who've only been taught the how. She's trained nurses who have gone on to exceptional careers across the Chicago area and beyond. She invests in every nurse who comes through this program as a future colleague in the field — not a student to cycle through a curriculum.
