Hi, my name is Claudia Guillen and I am a Nurse Practitioner with over 15 years of healthcare experience specializing in Aesthetic Medicine. I began my career in 2004 and graduated from the University of Victoria with a Bachelor’s in Nursing. My desire to acquire in-depth knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology led me to pursue Critical Care Certification from the British Columbia Institute of Technology. Following over 10 years of acute/in-hospital experience in Intensive Care at Royal Colombian Hospital, I went on to graduate with a Master’s degree as a Family Nurse Practitioner from the University of Athabasca.
My desire to learn and grow as a clinician has led me to practice in Medical Aesthetics, Neurosurgery, Cardiac, Emergency, Intensive Care, Post-operative Care, Trauma, Orthopedics, Family Practice, Urgent Care, Dermatology, and Mental Health. In addition, I have held leadership roles in Critical Care Outreach Programs and as a Clinical Instructor for the Critical Care Program.
As a Nurse Practitioner, I thrived and excelled at performing in-office surgical procedures, which led me to Medical Aesthetics where I could combine my love for learning, precision, detail, and in-depth knowledge of anatomy. I obtained Medical Aesthetic Certification from Canada’s gold standard Aesthetic Training Program “The Botox and Filler course.” To refine and perfect my medical aesthetics skills further, I have acquired specialized Medical Aesthetics training through the Derma Institute and the Canadian Board of Aesthetic Medicine. I honed my skills through extensive training in aesthetic injectables (Botox, dermal fillers), Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), IV Vitamins, and medically guided weight loss.
I believe in a holistic approach to aesthetics, prioritizing natural-looking results that enhance a client’s own beauty by combining technical precision with an artistic eye. With a patient-centered approach, I prioritize safety, efficacy, and personalized care, ensuring that each treatment plan is specifically customized to meet each patient’s unique needs. Whether you’re looking to smooth fine lines, restore volume, or improve skin texture, I use the latest techniques and evidence-based practices to help you achieve subtle, natural, youthful results while maintaining your individuality.
Please don’t hesitate to book a complementary consultation to ask questions and get a tour.
I look forward to meeting you!
