MEET OUR TEAM
Nicole Zarochak, MSN, CRNP, FNP-C
FOUNDER
I am a board-certified Nurse Practitioner with a passion for aesthetic medicine and personalized patient care. After earning my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Duquesne University in Pittsburgh in 2012, I embarked on a dynamic nursing career that took me across the country. From local nursing roles in Pittsburgh to travel nursing assignments in Texas, California, and Florida, I cultivated a wealth of diverse clinical experiences.
In 2016, I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from South University in Tampa, Florida, specializing as a Family Nurse Practitioner. This advanced training laid the foundation for my journey into medical aesthetics and therapeutic injections. Initially, I worked alongside a general neurologist, where I honed my skills injecting therapeutic Botox for Chronic Migraines, administering pericranial nerve blocks, and performing trigger point injections. Later, I transitioned to an academic headache center, further refining my expertise in therapeutic injections.
In 2021, I pivoted to the world of medical aesthetics, injecting Botox Cosmetic and dermal fillers, as well as performing procedures such as topical and injectable PRP, IPL treatments, and CO2 fractional ablative laser treatments. A passion for artistry and patient-centered care guided my approach as I created bespoke treatment plans tailored to each individual’s goals and needs.
In 2023, I returned to Pittsburgh, bringing my experience and vision to the South Hills community. After working at a local medical spa, I embarked on an exciting new chapter—founding my own medical spa. My goal is to merge clinical expertise with a welcoming, personalized touch, empowering patients to feel confident and informed about their treatment choices.
What truly sets me apart is my commitment to education and connection. I love staying at the forefront of advancements in aesthetic medicine, continually learning and evolving. I’m equally passionate about educating my patients, ensuring they feel confident in their decisions through open communication and informed consent.
Aesthetic medicine is both my profession and my passion—an opportunity to combine science, art, and human connection. I look forward to helping my patients achieve their unique aesthetic goals while building lasting relationships along the way.
