Amy Flanagan
Aesthetic Nurse Injector, RN-BSN | Hinsdale
From a young age, Amy felt called to medicine. As a very young child, she was captivated by shows like Rescue 911, already drawn to the idea of helping others in times of need. That deep sense of purpose has led her to a 22-year career as a Registered Nurse, beginning in critical care, where she honed her clinical skills, calm under pressure, and compassion for patients.
After years at the bedside, Amy felt a shift — she wanted to explore a space in healthcare that was joyful, transformative, and creative. That desire brought her to the world of aesthetics, where she began working with one of Chicago’s top plastic surgeons on Michigan Avenue. It was a bold pivot, but one that aligned perfectly with her strengths and passion for helping people feel their absolute best and achieve happy outcomes.
With extensive experience in both surgery and aesthetics, Amy brings a unique and comprehensive understanding to her injectable practice. She has a sharp eye for natural results and is attuned to the balance between what non-surgical treatments can achieve and when a surgical referral may be more appropriate. Her honest, thoughtful approach has earned her trusting and long-lasting patient relationships.
Amy describes her injecting style as “natural” helping patients reach their full beauty potential while still feeling completely themselves. She often shares her own beauty philosophy: “the idea is to wear less and less makeup as I age and look more and more naturally beautiful. Let’s be able to run to the grocery store with no makeup on, hair in a pony and feeling our best!”. Her patients love this relatable, low-maintenance approach, and many find themselves adopting the same goal.
In addition to her clinical work, Amy is passionate about education and mentorship. As Lead Injector at Elase Medspa in Hinsdale and trainer for Aesthetic Mentor, she plays a key role in training and guiding newer nurses entering the field. Amy is best known for her leadership, confidence, and clear communication. She’s passionate about mentoring others, supporting her team, and delivering exceptional patient care every day.
