Melissa Gorden

Melissa Gorden founded Paso Robles Aesthetics and works there as an aesthetic nurse injector. She is a registered nurse and holds Certified Perioperative Nurse (CNOR) and Certified Aesthetic Nurse Specialist (CANS) credentials. Her nursing and clinical career spans more than 30 years, and she has been injecting since 2010.

Much of her time has gone into operating room work. She has also taken traveling nursing assignments in a range of clinical settings across the United States and overseas. She is a member of ISPAN, the International Society of Plastic and Aesthetic Nurses, where she serves as Secretary/Treasurer.

Her focus includes age spots, acne scars and sun damage, addressed through chemical peels and collagen induction therapy, alongside neuromodulators such as Botox and Dysport and other injectables. She shapes each treatment for natural-looking results with subtle injections or targeted skincare, and each client is seen in a private, unhurried setting. She also helps clients feel confident and guides them through their skincare.
