Brooke Nichol
RN, CANS
Named a Top 100 Injector by The Best Aesthetic Injectors in America
BROOKE NICHOL is a Registered Nurse and Certified Aesthetic Nurse Specialist whose experience includes several years as Allergan Medical Institute Trainer , and working with Beverly Hills top cosmetic surgeons. Developing a passion for the aesthetic field, the native Southerner extensively trained with the best of the best and specializes in liquid facelifts. Brooke believes in putting safety and comfort first, and she warmly and patiently educates clients on their procedures to set them at ease. Her expertise includes Blunt Tip Micro-cannulas, liquid face lifts, tear troughs, Botox, brow lifts, mid-face rejuvenation and lip enhancement, and she actively seeks out the latest technologies and therapies to provide the most effective treatments. “My motto is, ‘You have to look good, to feel good, to do good’,'' says Brooke. “If I can help people do better in this world, I am accomplishing my purpose.”
After training in critical care at Mississippi Baptist Hospital in 2001, Brooke launched into an ICU travel assignment at Providence of St. Joseph Hospital in Los Angeles. Over the next few years, Brooke accepted the challenge of working in intensive care units and emergency rooms throughout Southern California, and these high-pressure situations helped her develop a steady composure and a warm personal rapport. Brooke’s skills attracted the interest of celebrity surgeon Dr. Garth Fisher, who recruited Brooke to become his operating room nurse in 2004. Three years later, Brooke expanded her career as an aesthetic injection authority for Dr. Fisher and another famed surgeon, Dr. Gary Motykie.
Brooke took her advanced technique to the Lone Star State in 2012 making a new home in Austin, TX with her handsome husband, Jason and their two wonderful kids, Miller and Knox.
Saving Face has been a dream come true for Brooke. Partnering with Board Certified Plastic surgeon, Dr. Rocco Piazza, paved the way for this boutique injectable lounge to open. It is not about the numbers for Brooke; it is about the artistry involved and building personal relationships based on connection, comfort and trust that only enhance once the results set in.
