OUR
Story
The inception of the Aesthetic Collective is rooted in the personal experiences and aspirations of our founder, Darya Hansen, DNP, ARNP.
Darya’s career began in the ICU, where she developed a deep commitment to patient safety and excellence in care. She later transitioned into aesthetics, starting in a plastic surgery office in West Des Moines, Iowa, and evolving into a medical spa environment. These experiences highlighted both challenges and rewards in the field, inspiring a vision for a safer way of providing aesthetic services.
In a sea of medical spas with varying or nonexistent safety standards, The Aesthetic Collective stands apart by prioritizing patient safety and clinical excellence. Aesthetics is a medical specialty, and ensuring proper training and adherence to safety protocols is critical. Our team’s rigorous approach reflects the importance of trust and professionalism in delivering optimal results.
With a focus on safety and excellence, our ICU-trained aesthetic providers ensure the highest standards of care. The Aesthetic Collective provides essential support, resources, and a collaborative collective of experience aesthetic providers.
