Dr. Darya Hansen, DNP, ARNP spent years in intensive care before moving into aesthetics — first in a plastic surgery office in West Des Moines, then in the med spa world. What she saw convinced her that aesthetic medicine deserved a higher clinical standard than it was getting.
She founded Aesthetic Collective to build that standard from the ground up. Every injector here is ICU-trained, because we believe the same judgment that matters in a hospital matters when a needle is involved anywhere.
Today, that standard shows up in every appointment — from a first-time Botox visit to a more complex treatment plan — delivered by a team trained to think clinically, not just follow a pattern.

My lips look fuller, beautifully shaped and still look natural, healthy and youthful. The pain was manageable, and I experienced very little downtime!! I couldn't be happier! I am absolutely obsessed with my results….needless to say I’m going back this week because I only did the mini!! Thank you Diana!!!”
