Maria, RN
Aesthetic Expert
“I’m inspired by the transformative power and artistry of aesthetics. It’s a privilege to partner with my patients as we work together to bring out their most confident, beautiful selves.”
Maria joined the Bengtson Center with a deep-rooted passion for aesthetics and a unique blend of beauty industry experience and clinical training. She began her career in 2005 as a dual-licensed cosmetologist and aesthetician, spending over a decade helping clients enhance their skin with game changing skin treatments and customized medical grade skincare routines. In 2017, she transitioned into the world of medical aesthetics, where she discovered a profound connection to the confidence and self-esteem that cosmetic treatments can inspire.
After six years as a Medical Aesthetician at the Bengtson Center, Maria was driven by the expertise and passion of her colleagues to pursue a new goal—becoming a Registered Nurse. Now, as an RN and Aesthetic Expert, she blends her artistic eye with clinical knowledge to deliver naturally beautiful results tailored to each patient’s needs. Her years in the beauty industry have sharpened her ability to recognize facial harmony, making her an ideal partner in any patient’s aesthetic journey.
Maria’s Favorites
“I love a good skin brightener that helps even out skin tone product such as ZO Brightalive, married with a good moisturizer such as Triple Lipid. I believe that having worked both skin care and now injectables, a good BOTOX treatment is seen best when the skin has and even skin tone appearance and is well hydrated. BOTOX works on the muscle contraction but a good moisturize and skin brightener will ensure that the skin will maintain its hydrated, luminous & dewy appearance.”
