Heather Voss

Heather Voss, R.N., offers patients a unique perspective on beauty and an artist’s eye when it comes to the use of fillers and other facial contouring techniques. She is passionate about the synergies between feeling and looking one’s best. Heather has 15+ years’ experience in the aesthetics industry. Heather grew up in Minnesota and moved to Los Angeles in 2000 to pursue a modeling and acting career. It was her love for facial anatomy and physiology that would ultimately capture her interest in facial aesthetics. She began working with an acclaimed Beverly Hills plastic surgeon specializing in rhinoplasty and injectables. She grew to love the fine art of injectables and now is a master in her own right. “I look at each individual face as unique and recommend a custom solution for every client. That might include the use of Botox to soften lines and improve skin texture along with fillers to compensate for a loss of facial support and fat. Light and shadows fall differently on an aging face compared to a youthful face and that determines where I inject.” Treatments for the skin may also involve laser tightening to stimulate collagen production. In her free time, Heather enjoys playing piano, singing, waterskiing, travel and spending time with family. She is licensed as an RN to practice in both California and Texas and is currently pursuing her Master’s degree in Nursing-Family Nurse Practitioner at West Coast University California.
