Aesthetic Nurse
Melissa Burroughs hails from a small town in West Texas. As a teenager, she began modeling and entered and won a local beauty pageant. Hard work enabled her to graduate high school a year early. She then worked in the radio and television industry before deciding to go into the medical /dental field, where she was an advanced dental technician.
Melissa then went back to college to pursue a career in nursing and started working as a civilian nurse for the Department of Defense at Ft. Carson. She was one of the few civilian nurses to be appointed as an Officer in Charge of the Army’s new “Core Values” military-wide program called Patient Caring Touch System. The focus of this program, developed by highly regarded Lt. General Patricia Horoho, was to provide all nurses in the military service with a professional practice voice and not simply be dictated by leadership policy and procedures.
Melissa later pursued a degree in Business Administration and managed multiple medical practices before re-entering the nursing field upon her introduction to aesthetic medicine in 2017. She received intensive training in injectable neuromodulators, dermal fillers, volumizers, platelet-rich plasma, and threads.
She has dexterous hands, an eye for aesthetics, and a vast understanding of the treatments that can help create, restore, or enhance an attractive face. She understands beauty and enjoys helping others achieve their goals to look and feel their best. Melissa is a compassionate person who cares about the individual and not just the treatment. She has been in the aesthetic medicine field full-time since 2019, has won multiple Merz Aesthetics Recognitions, and is one of Colorado’s most experienced Suneva Silhouette InstaLift Thread providers.
Melissa is passionate about her faith, family, and dogs. She is also an artist who loves to sketch and paint. She loves home interior design and holds an interior design certification too.
