Melissa Stockyj, RN, BSN, CANS, brings more than 20 years of experience in aesthetic medicine and has specialized in injectable treatments since 2006. Her career began alongside a cosmetic dermatologist during the early evolution of modern injectable aesthetics and later expanded to include more than 2,000 hours in the operating room as a plastic surgical nurse, strengthening her understanding of facial anatomy, surgical technique, reconstruction, and structural fat grafting. Over the course of her career, Melissa has administered more than 2 million units of neuromodulator and approximately 9,000 syringes of dermal filler. As a Certified Aesthetic Nurse Specialist, her approach is grounded in anatomy, evidence, comprehensive facial assessment, and patient education. Rather than treating individual lines or features in isolation, she focuses on understanding the underlying changes contributing to facial aging and creating thoughtful, individualized treatment plans that prioritize natural results, long-term outcomes, and what is truly appropriate for each patient.
