APRN-C, MSN | Aesthetic Provider

Carla Cole, MSN, APRN-C, brings more than 27 years of clinical experience to the practice. Her background spans cardiology, internal medicine, and aesthetic and cosmetic medicine. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Samford University’s Ida V. Moffett School of Nursing in 1999. In 2005, she graduated with honors from the University of South Alabama with a Master of Science in Nursing. She is also board certified by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) as an Acute Care Nurse Practitioner.

For 11 years, Carla specialized in cardiovascular medicine before pursuing her passion for aesthetics. In 2016, she transitioned into aesthetic and cosmetic medicine. Since then, she has trained extensively in dermal fillers, neuromodulators, laser resurfacing, non-invasive body sculpting and contouring, PRP/PRF therapies, and radiofrequency microneedling.
Carla believes the best aesthetic results enhance a patient’s natural features rather than change them. Her approach is conservative and comprehensive, and she focuses on each patient’s individual goals. She takes the time to educate her patients, understand their concerns, and build customized treatment plans designed for natural, balanced, and long-term results. Known for her skilled eye, gentle touch, and attention to detail, Carla is committed to building lasting patient relationships based on trust.
