Meet the Medical Team

Kristy Jones, BScN, RN, Aesthetic Nurse Specialist

With over 20 years of experience and thousands of successful treatments performed, Kristy brings a unique combination of clinical excellence, artistry, and genuine care to every patient she serves. She began her nursing career at Women’s Hospital, building strong medical skills in obstetrics, the operating room, and recovery — a foundation that shapes her meticulous, safety-first approach to aesthetics today.

Kristy’s path into cosmetic medicine started alongside the pioneers of the industry, training directly with Drs. Jean and Alastair Carruthers, the world-renowned innovators behind Botox®. She participated in some of the very first dosing studies and expanded her expertise to include advanced laser technologies and skin rejuvenation treatments.

Her philosophy is simple yet powerful: the best results should look effortless. Kristy specializes in creating natural, refreshed outcomes that leave people wondering why you look so good — not what you had done. Her long-term clients trust her discerning eye, skilled hands, and unwavering commitment to personalized care, knowing she is devoted to enhancing their natural beauty, not altering it.

Kristy’s approach is warm, collaborative, and deeply reassuring. She works closely with Dr. Tkatch to design customized treatment plans that prioritize patient safety, subtlety, and satisfaction. Many of her clients have been with her for years — not only because of their beautiful results, but because of the lasting trust and connection she builds with each one.

A proud local resident, Kristy lives with her young adult children and their lively dog. A former competitive swimmer and equestrian, she now enjoys golfing and skiing — bringing the same spirit of precision, passion, and resilience to her work (and her weekends).
