My name is Nicole
I am a Cosmetic Registered Nurse AND Owner of SKINmas
I was a police officer in Victoria for almost 14 years. My final position upon resignation was a Sergeant in the city. Although I loved the fast paced action & diversity of policing, I wasn’t settled. I had always been passionate about skin & cosmetic procedures.I dreamed of being a cosmetic nurse but was somewhat ‘stuck’ in my policing role.
In 2015 I fell pregnant and my husband changed careers, taking a job that required us to move to Brisbane. I knew then that it was time to seize the moment & fulfill my dream.
I began studying nursing straight away, & took extended leave from the police force to have a second baby. I completed my degree & confidently handed in my resignation as a police officer. I began working as a recovery nurse in a private day hospital. I commenced training in cosmetic injectables at the Esteem Institute in 2017 and opened SKINmas in January 2018.
I have taken every training opportunity that arose and also injected for several months at a busy clinic in Brisbane. I continue to train, learn and enhance my skill set. I’ve completed advanced workshops and masterclasses with some world renowned aesthetic injectors, including Dr Mauricio De Maio, Dr Tapan Patel, Dr Arthur Swift, Dr Lee Walker, Dr Waldemar Wajdwicz, and Julie Horne.
I am a trainer with Avaderm (PDO Biothreads Australia) and frequently train other nurses and doctors in PDO threads.
I specialise in advanced injectables and non-surgical facelifts.
I never imagined that I would love my job as much as I do. I get so much fulfillment and reward from using my art to make people happier within themselves.
