Donna Gonzalez

Donna Gonzalez is an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse and nurse anesthetist who works as an aesthetic practitioner and integrative medicine provider at Artisan Face and Body. She also serves as a national aesthetics trainer for the American Institute of Aesthetic Medicine and as a national trainer for Galderma Aesthetics through its injector network. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and a Master of Science in Anesthesiology, both with high honors, and completed a nurse anesthesia program. Her nursing start, more than 20 years ago, was in trauma and intensive care at Miami Jackson Memorial Hospital and Doctor's Hospital in Coral Gables. She then moved into neuroscience and post-anesthesia care before turning to aesthetic medicine. She has more than 30 years of experience in health and wellness and has led over 500 injector trainings across the country. She trained with several practitioners, among them Dr. Anil Rajani. Her core work is PDO thread lifting with Nova Threads, often paired with PRF treatments, and lip injections using Restylane Kysse. She uses a cannula technique that aims for less bleeding and less downtime, along with biostimulator fillers designed to encourage new tissue growth. She developed the DG Method, which blends aesthetic therapies with facial balancing. Most of her clients come in for sagging jawlines, wrinkled skin and drooping cheeks, and some clients come from a distance.
