Item description
Meet your Aesthetics Nurse
With nearly two decades of nursing experience, including a critical foundation in Neonatal Intensive Care (NICU), Tracy brings a high level of precision, safety, and critical thinking into the art of aesthetic medicine. For the past five years, her practice has been entirely dedicated to aesthetics, where advanced technique meets individualized patient care. To ensure her patients always receive the safest, most innovative, and highest-standard techniques, she prioritizes rigorous continuing education and ongoing training in the latest aesthetic advancements.
Tracy believes that beauty is deeply personal and subjective. Rather than changing how you look, her goal is to enhance the unique features you already love about yourself with subtle, natural, and long-lasting results. True care starts with connection: she takes the time to truly get to know each patient so that you feel fully heard, understood, and empowered as an equal partner in your treatment plan. Tracy knows there is nothing more rewarding than watching someone reclaim their confidence right from her treatment chair.
Outside of the clinic, family is her whole heart. She shares her life with a loving husband and their four active kids, keeping their days filled with the high energy of youth sports. To stay grounded amidst the busy pace, she maintains a dedicated yoga practice and teaches yoga—bringing that same sense of balance, presence, and intentionality back into the treatment room.
BOTOX & DYSPORT
Neurotoxin Treatments
Soften fine lines and wrinkles while maintaining natural facial expressions.
Botox and Dysport are injectable treatments that temporarily relax targeted facial muscles to reduce the appearance of expression lines. Common treatment areas include the forehead, crow's feet, and frown lines between the eyebrows. Treatments are carefully tailored to your facial anatomy to achieve subtle, balanced results.
COMMON TREATMENT GOALS
Softening expression lines, reducing the development of deeper wrinkles, and maintaining a refreshed appearance.
-
Botox and Dysport are both FDA-approved neuromodulators that temporarily relax targeted facial muscles to soften the appearance of expression lines. They work in similar ways, although their formulations, dosing, and diffusion characteristics differ. The most appropriate option depends on your treatment goals, facial anatomy, and your physician's assessment.
-
You may begin noticing changes within a few days, with the full effect typically developing over approximately two weeks. The timing can vary depending on the product used and the individual.
-
Results generally last around three to four months, although some people experience shorter or longer effects. Factors such as the treatment area, dosage, and individual muscle activity can influence how long results remain visible.
-
The goal is to soften unwanted expression lines while preserving natural facial movement. Treatment is tailored to your anatomy and preferences, with careful consideration given to placement and dosage.
-
Most patients can return to their usual daily activities shortly after treatment. Temporary redness, tenderness, swelling, or bruising around the injection sites may occur. Your physician will provide specific aftercare instructions.
-
Both products have established safety profiles when used appropriately by qualified medical professionals. However, potential side effects include bruising, headache, temporary facial asymmetry, and unwanted muscle weakness. Rare but serious complications are possible. Your medical history, medications, and treatment goals will be reviewed before proceeding.

HYALURONIC ACID
Dermal Fillers
Restore facial volume and enhance natural contours.
As we age, changes in facial fat, bone structure, and skin elasticity can affect volume and definition. Hyaluronic acid fillers help restore fullness, enhance facial contours, and soften certain lines and folds. Common treatment areas include the cheeks, lips, and lower face, with each treatment designed to complement your natural features.
COMMON TREATMENT GOALS
Restoring lost volume, enhancing lip definition, improving facial contours, and softening deeper facial folds.
TREATMENT
-
Many hyaluronic acid fillers can be broken down using an injectable enzyme called hyaluronidase when clinically appropriate. Dissolving filler is a medical procedure with its own risks and considerations, and results may vary.
-
Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers can help restore facial volume, enhance certain facial features, and soften the appearance of selected lines and folds. Treatment is individualized based on facial anatomy, aesthetic goals, and the areas being addressed.
-
Results vary depending on the product, treatment area, and individual factors. Some hyaluronic acid fillers may last approximately six to twelve months, while others can provide results for a year or longer.
-
Hyaluronic acid fillers typically provide an immediate change in volume or contour. However, temporary swelling can affect the initial appearance, and it may take a couple of weeks for the treated area to settle.
-
Most patients can resume many of their usual activities soon after treatment, although swelling, tenderness, redness, and bruising are common temporary effects. Your physician may recommend avoiding certain activities immediately following your appointment.
-
Common side effects include swelling, bruising, tenderness, and temporary irregularities. Less common complications include infection, nodules, and inflammatory reactions. Accidental injection into a blood vessel can cause tissue injury and, in rare cases, vision loss or stroke. A thorough consultation helps determine whether treatment is appropriate and allows you to discuss these risks before proceeding.

PRP
Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections
Support skin rejuvenation using your body's own platelets.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is prepared from a small sample of your blood and contains concentrated platelets and growth factors involved in the body's natural healing processes. PRP may be used to address concerns related to skin quality and texture, either on its own or as part of a broader treatment plan. Results vary, and the evidence supporting different aesthetic applications continues to develop.
COMMON TREATMENT GOALS
Supporting improvements in skin texture and overall skin quality through a treatment approach that uses components of your own blood.
TREATMENT
-
Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, is prepared from a small sample of your own blood. The sample is processed to concentrate platelets, which contain growth factors involved in the body's natural healing processes. PRP may be used in certain aesthetic treatments, although its effectiveness varies by indication and treatment method.
-
PRP is sometimes used to address concerns related to skin quality and certain types of hair thinning. Research into its aesthetic applications is ongoing, and the strength of evidence differs depending on the condition being treated. Your physician can discuss whether PRP is a reasonable option for your goals.
-
The number and frequency of treatments depend on the concern being addressed and the treatment protocol. Some approaches involve a series of initial sessions followed by maintenance treatments. A personalized recommendation can be discussed during your consultation.
-
PRP does not typically produce immediate cosmetic changes. When a treatment is effective, improvements may develop gradually over several weeks or months. Results vary, and a noticeable benefit cannot be guaranteed.
-
Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, or bruising may occur, particularly when PRP is administered through injections or combined with another procedure. Recovery depends on the treatment area and technique.
-
Because PRP is prepared from your own blood, the risk of an allergic reaction to the platelet preparation is generally low. However, blood collection and treatment procedures still carry risks, including discomfort, bruising, infection, and other procedure-specific complications. PRP is not appropriate for everyone, and some aesthetic uses are not FDA-approved indications.

SKINPEN PRECISION
Advanced Microneedling
Improve skin texture and support natural collagen production.
Microneedling uses controlled micro-injuries to stimulate the skin's natural healing response and encourage collagen remodeling. At Blossom, we use SkinPen Precision, an FDA-cleared device that can improve the appearance of certain acne scars and facial wrinkles. Results develop gradually as the skin heals, helping create a smoother, more even-looking complexion.
COMMON TREATMENT GOALS
Improving the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, and uneven skin texture.
-
SkinPen is an FDA-cleared microneedling device that creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate the body's natural wound-healing response. It is used for specific indications, including improving the appearance of facial acne scars in adults and certain wrinkles, depending on age and treatment area.
-
Microneedling may help improve the appearance of certain acne scars, fine lines, and wrinkles. Some patients also pursue treatment for overall skin texture, although results depend on the concern being treated and the individual's skin characteristics.
-
Some patients benefit from a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart. The recommended number depends on your skin concerns, treatment goals, and response. Your physician can help establish realistic expectations during your consultation.
-
A topical numbing medication may be applied before treatment to improve comfort. Patients may experience pressure, vibration, or a scratching sensation during the procedure. Discomfort varies by treatment area and individual sensitivity.
-
Redness, sensitivity, dryness, and mild swelling are common after microneedling. The skin may resemble a mild to moderate sunburn for a short period. Your physician will provide aftercare instructions, including guidance on skincare products, sun protection, and when to resume your normal routine.
-
SkinPen can be suitable for a range of skin tones, but not everyone is a candidate. Active skin infections, certain inflammatory conditions, impaired wound healing, and other medical factors may affect treatment suitability. A consultation is important to evaluate your skin and discuss potential risks, including pigment changes, infection, or scarring.

COLLAGEN BIOSIMULATOR
Sculptra Aesthetic
Gradually restore facial volume by stimulating natural collagen production.
Sculptra is an injectable collagen biostimulator made with poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). Unlike traditional fillers that provide immediate volume, Sculptra stimulates collagen production over time to help improve facial structure and soften the appearance of wrinkles. Results develop gradually, making it an option for patients seeking subtle, longer-lasting improvements.
COMMON TREATMENT GOALS
Addressing age-related volume loss, improving facial contours, and softening facial wrinkles and folds.
TREATMENT
-
Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable containing poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, which provide immediate volume, Sculptra works gradually by stimulating collagen production. It is used to improve certain facial wrinkles and volume-related concerns, with results developing over time.
-
Sculptra works gradually, so visible changes typically develop over several weeks to months as collagen production increases. Temporary fullness immediately after treatment is largely related to the fluid used during preparation and should not be confused with the final result.
-
Many patients require a series of treatment sessions rather than a single appointment. The number of sessions and amount of product depend on individual anatomy, treatment goals, and the areas being addressed.
-
Sculptra can provide improvements lasting up to approximately two years in appropriately selected patients, although individual results vary. Maintenance recommendations depend on your response and aesthetic goals.
-
Temporary swelling, redness, tenderness, or bruising may occur following treatment. Your physician will provide specific aftercare instructions, which may include massaging the treated areas as directed.
-
Potential side effects include swelling, bruising, discomfort, and the development of lumps or nodules, which may appear weeks or months after treatment. As with other injectable treatments, infection and rare vascular complications are possible. Sculptra is not readily dissolved with hyaluronidase like hyaluronic acid fillers, making careful treatment planning especially important.
