Katrina Flowers-Pierie spent years as a Physician Assistant in emergency services and trauma surgery before she ever picked up a syringe for aesthetics. The 24-hour call shifts, the adrenaline, the high-stakes environment — she loved all of it. Until she had kids. Then the math stopped working.

So she pivoted. Slowly at first, building medical aesthetics as a side business in 2013 while still working in acute care. Then 2020 hit, everyone started staring at their own faces on Zoom, and what was once a side hustle became LISSÈ Medical Aesthetics. A two-location practice in Gig Harbor and University Place, Washington that does a lot more than injectables.

This episode is proof that the most unexpected backgrounds can make for the most well-rounded injectors.

In this episode:

  • How a career in trauma surgery shaped Katrina's clinical instincts and why that medical foundation makes her a better aesthetic provider
  • What a true one-stop shop actually looks like: injectables, regenerative medicine, wellness, skin care, and advanced laser treatments all under one roof
  • Why Katrina is fired up about the Sciton Halo and TRL, and how newer laser technology is delivering serious results with a fraction of the old downtime
  • Her honest take on hormone replacement therapy and why she believes HRT is about a lot more than managing menopause symptoms
  • The "slow roll" approach she swears by and why she would rather start you on a skin care routine than put you straight under a laser
  • Why 80% of your results come from what you do at home, and what that means before you spend a single dollar on in-office treatments=
