Upon receiving her FNP certification, Kara began her career as a nurse practitioner in cardiology and phlebology.

In 2020, Kara joined the Renaitre – A Williamson Cosmetic Center team where she has received extensive training in Botox and dermal filler as well as in body contouring with Morpheus 8 and Coolsculpting. Kara also offers sclerotherapy in addition to her other services.


Kara has a passion for aesthetics and loves helping both women and men feel confident in their own skin.

As summer approaches, many of my patients start thinking about smoother skin, more definition, and that effortless, confident glow. The key to achieving that look isn’t a last-minute fix—it’s starting early with the right combination of treatments . Three of my go-to recommendations this time of year are laser hair removal , CoolTone, and DiamondGlow facials. Together, they create a streamlined, results-driven approach to getting your skin and body summer-ready.

In aesthetics, we’re seeing a major shift—and it’s one I fully support. More patients are no longer waiting for deep lines and wrinkles to appear before seeking treatment. Instead, they’re embracing preventative Botox , often referred to as prejuvenation—a proactive approach to aging gracefully.

CoolSculpting is a non-invasive medical procedure that uses controlled cooling to freeze and eliminate stubborn fat cells. It is designed for body contouring rather than weight loss, targeting localized fat deposits that have not responded to diet and exercise. How It Works The procedure is based on the scientific finding that fat cells are more sensitive to cold temperatures than surrounding skin, nerves, and muscle tissue. The Process : A specialized applicator suctions the skin and fat into a "cooling cup". Cell Death : The device cools the targeted fat cells to a temperature that causes them to crystallize and die (a process called apoptosis ). Elimination : Over several weeks to months, the body's immune and lymphatic systems naturally process and flush out these dead cells as waste. Key Details Target Areas : It is FDA-cleared for nine specific areas, including the abdomen, flanks (love handles), thighs, bra fat, back fat, upper arms, and under the chin or jawline. Results : You can expect up to a 20% to 25% reduction in fat in the treated area after a single session. Initial changes may appear in three weeks, but full results typically take three to six months to become visible. Downtime : Since it is non-surgical and requires no anesthesia, there is usually zero downtime , allowing patients to return to normal activities immediately. Permanence : Once fat cells are destroyed and eliminated, they do not return . However, remaining fat cells in the body can still expand if you gain weight. Side Effects and Risks Common Side Effects : Temporary redness, swelling, bruising, skin sensitivity, and a pulling or pinching sensation during the procedure. Rare Risk (PAH) : A rare but serious side effect is Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia (PAH) , where the treated fat area actually grows larger and hardens rather than shrinking. Estimates suggest this occurs in less than 1% of treatments. Candidates The ideal candidate is someone within 10 to 30 pounds of their goal weight with "pinchable" fat. It is not suitable for individuals with obesity or certain cold-related conditions like Raynaud's disease or cryoglobulinemia.
