All first time patients are required to complete a telehealth appointment with my Medical Director, Maria Schepis, APRN, Owner of Beautifully You Aesthetics, PLLC prior to receiving any treatments by me. Each patient has to complete this assessment once per year. This complimentary 15-20 minute consultation is a critical step in our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of care and ethical practice.
During this appointment, Maria will conduct a comprehensive health assessment and provide medical recommendations, along with place necessary orders to be carried out by me. In order for me to treat you, I need her. It is imperative Maria’s time is highly respected and that all your medical forms and consents are completed before your appointment with her.
Following your appointment with her, I will review your information and develop a treatment plan based on Maria’s medical recommendations. We appreciate your understanding and respect for the time and expertise that Maria dedicates to each patient.
You may book your appointment with her and you may also get on my books as well right away. Just please ensure your appointment with Maria is completed prior to your appointment with me. Send me an email if you are having trouble booking or there is scheduling conflicts. We are more than happy to work with you to achieve a positive and patient centered outcome.
The neuromodulator of choice is Jeuveau and the dermal filler of choice is The RHA Collection. Both of these products are approved by the FDA. Botox and Jeuveau are the most chemically similar on the market, both containing the same active ingredient, and is known to last between 3-4 months, but their formulations differ slightly. Jeuveau is created using a technology that helps remove unnecessary proteins and may enhance product absorption, potentially offering a slight safety advantage. The RHA Collection is designed to be more resilient, dynamic, natural looking and longer lasting. Our body’s own hyaluronic acid is long-chain and RHA’s products are the longest chain hyaluronic acids on the market, thus most closely resembling our body’s own HA composition. This is what makes RHA unique, as it can adapt to facial animation better than a lot of other products on the market, creating a softer and more natural appearing enhancement. RHA is also known to last 12-16 months depending on area treated and treatment goals. My personal goal as your provider is to create a refreshed and natural appearance for you to feel your best in. I feel confident these two products are the best choice for achieving this goal. The overall safety of the treatment primarily depends on the skill and expertise of the person administering it.
Your care is in the hands of a highly trained and experienced medical professional. With over 10 years working in the healthcare profession, I started off as a Certified Nursing Assistant right out of High School, to then taking a job as an Anesthesia Tech in the Operating Room, I soon moved on to graduate with 3 degrees from Kishwaukee College finishing with a 4.0 GPA. I then obtained my Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing from Northern Illinois University with a 4.0 GPA shortly after. I am now a Licensed Registered Nurse with 6 years of experience, starting off at a Level 1 Trauma ICU and then moving on to a Level 2 Trauma Emergency Department, which I still currently work in, providing critical care in some of the most demanding and high-stress environments. I hold additional state issued licenses such as a Trauma Nurse Specialist and Emergency Communications Registered Nurse, which are supplemental licenses that require extensive training, dedication, and months to obtain. In conjunction to my patient care experience, I also have 1 year of experience managing 2 Methadone Clinics and a team of nurses, prompting me to gain experience working closely with the DEA as well as sharpening my leadership and management skills.
In addition to my critical care background, I am certified in adult and pediatric Advanced Cardiac Life Support, Trauma Nurse Core Course, and serve as a Stop The Bleed Instructor. These up-to-date credentials reflect my deep commitment to patient safety and education in life-saving evidence-based skills.
With 1.5 years of experience working concurrently in a medical spa, I became certified in administering injectables, such as Neuromodulators, Dermal Fillers, PRF, fat dissolving injections, and vitamin injections. My extensive and all-encompassing healthcare background enables me to offer the highest standard of care, ensuring that every treatment is tailored to your needs and executed in a safe, ethical, and compliant manner.
I am consistent to stay up to date with the ever-changing field of aesthetics. I have attended cadaver trainings and out of state educational conferences from companies such as RHA, Euolus, and Inmode.
Your safety, well-being, and satisfaction are my top priorities, and I look forward to partnering with you on your aesthetic journey.
Step 1. You will use my website or link on social media to get to my booking page.
Step 2. Browse and select the service of your choice. If you have any special requests such as combining services or if you have any information you would like me to be aware of prior to our service, you will have the opportunity to write a message when booking. This allows me to be fully prepared for your visit and make any necessary timing adjustments to ensure a high-quality, personalized appointment.
Step 3. After selecting a service, if you are a new patient, you will be prompted to review my Medical Director’s calendar to schedule a complimentary 15–20 minute health assessment via Telehealth. Detailed instructions will be provided during the booking process. Please note: This consultation with Maria is mandatory with no exceptions for all first-time patients and must be repeated annually for each patient. After your initial visit with us, you may bypass her booking link and book directly with me. I will always remind you when your 1-year follow-up assessment with Maria is due.
Step 4. Once you’ve completed your booking with my Medical Director, Maria, you may proceed directly to my calendar and select an appointment time that best fits your schedule.
Step 5. Once you have chosen an appointment time, you will continue to complete the booking process. At this stage, you will be required to sign a few consents and review our policies. You will also need to place a card on file with a $100 booking deposit. Consultations are exempt from this booking deposit. This deposit will be applied toward your total at checkout after your appointment is completed. Please note that the deposit is non-refundable for no-shows or cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice. There are no exceptions to this policy. If you have any discount codes, this is also the time to apply them.
Step 6. Once your appointments are booked, you will be prompted by the booking site with new patient paperwork that must be completed prior to your appointment with Maria. This is essential to ensure a smooth, safe, and high-quality experience. Please note that extra time is not allocated within appointments to complete paperwork. Our goal is to use our time together to thoroughly discuss your health, complete an assessment, and develop a treatment plan, rather than filling out forms. Both Maria and I can provide you with a more personalized and thorough experience when we have the time to review your information in advance. Help us help you by completing your paperwork prior to your visit.
