Kelly Peterson

Nurse Practitioner & Founding Partner

Redefining confidence with expert care.

Kelly Peterson’s passion for aesthetic medicine stems from her desire to help people feel confident and radiant. As a board-certified nurse practitioner, Kelly earned her master’s degree from Vanderbilt University in 2014, launching her career in trauma and general surgery. She then moved to Seattle in 2017 to work with a plastic and facial surgery group, where she established a strong foundation in aesthetic medicine and discovered her passion to help clients enhance their beauty and boost their confidence. Over the years, she has participated in multiple advanced injection technique courses and training, gaining extensive knowledge and expertise in the industry. Since moving to San Diego, CA, in 2019, Kelly has focused exclusively on medical aesthetics, bringing advanced techniques and years of experience to every treatment. Alongside Janeane, Kelly strives to create a welcoming clinic that feels like home, where lifelong relationships with clients are a top priority. When she’s not at work, Kelly loves skiing, hiking, traveling, and spending quality time with loved ones.
