Family Nurse Practitioner Alexia Padron has opened a new aesthetics
practice in South Miami at 7800 SW 57th Avenue, Suite 100 within
Beautiful Me Skin Boutique.
Padron is a Miami native who earned her Master’s Degree in nursing from
the University of Miami and spent some time in London training in
aesthetics under the renowned physician Dr. Raj Acquilla, where she
became expert in administering injectables.
“I was fortunate to be able to work with Dr. Acquilla as part of his last small
group training,” she explains.
Prior to becoming a nurse practitioner, Padron spent almost five years as
an intensive care bedside nurse at the University of Miami Hospital and
South Miami Hospital.
“I fell in love with nursing and especially enjoyed working in the ICU,” says
Padron. “I wasn’t expecting to love it as much as I did. After gaining all of
that wonderful experience, I decided to make a change and become a
nurse practitioner and open my own aesthetics practice.”
Padron specializes in administering the three main injectables:
neuromodulators such as Botox, Hyaluronic Acid fillers such as Restalyne
and Juvederm, and bio stimulators like Sculptra, which boosts collagen
production and replaces lost volume in a more natural way. Most
injectables are used to fill in areas of the face that have lost volume such
as cheeks, lips and temples, but Padron also uses them on other areas of
the body such as hands and necks.
“I really enjoy working with my patients and seeing their aesthetic dreams
become a reality. Our male patients come in for what we kiddingly call
‘Brotox.’”
In addition to Padron’s injectables practice, Beautiful Me Skin Boutique alsooffers skincare, facials, peels, laser therapy, manicures and pedicures.
“It’s a one-stop shop,” she says with a smile.
Patients must be a minimum of 18 years or older. Botox takes a full two
weeks in order to see the full effect, she explains. After that, a tweak may
be recommended, although most of her patients don’t require additional
injections.
“I’m enjoying my new career and intend to grow the practice in the future,”
says Padron.
