Aesthetic Nurse

Elena Eller, BSN, RN

Originally from Houston, Texas, Elena brings a unique combination of scientific knowledge, critical care experience, and artistic precision to her work in aesthetics.

Before entering nursing, Elena earned both her Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Animal Science from Texas A&M University and began her career in research and veterinary medicine. She later earned her nursing degree from the University of North Carolina at Pembroke and spent nearly a decade caring for critically ill infants in leading Neonatal Intensive Care Units across the country.

In 2023, Elena pursued her passion for aesthetic medicine, completing advanced training in injectables, laser treatments, and skin health. She combines her extensive clinical background with a thoughtful, artistic approach to create natural-looking results that help her patients feel refreshed and confident. Elena also works as a Legal Nurse Consultant, applying her medical expertise to malpractice and personal injury cases.

Outside of work, Elena enjoys scuba diving, traveling with her husband, weight training, and spending time with her animals. She and her husband moved to the area to be closer to their close-knit Greek family and enjoy gathering with them whenever possible.
