Michele Westendorf, MSN, AGNP-C

Michele Westendorf is Clinical Director and Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner at Seaside Skin Care in San Clemente, where she focuses on restorative aesthetic treatments. She is board-certified as an Adult-Geriatric Nurse Practitioner and holds a Master of Science in Nursing from Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing, along with earlier degrees in nursing from Johns Hopkins and in human ecology and education from The Ohio State University. The site describes her as a nationally recognized aesthetic expert and master injector.

Her training includes extensive work with Allergan, Galderma and Merz, a six-month fellowship in dermatology and aesthetics with Anne Marie McNeill completed in 2015, and Allergan Master Series courses alongside regular cadaver lab sessions. She is an Allergan Medical Institute trainer who teaches advanced Botox and filler techniques to providers, and she is a national speaker and trainer on injectable safety, complication management and facial restoration. Her lecture topics include complication management in aesthetics, restoration versus augmentation, and how to read clinical studies and recognize bias.

Her focus is restoring facial volume and structure rather than changing a person's features, working with each client's natural face. Consultations for full face work lead to comprehensive, multi-step plans, and she considers full face rejuvenation her favorite treatment to perform. Her services include Botox and Dysport, fillers, Sculptra, PRF, lasers and microneedling. The site says she aims for results that look like the client at their best rather than overdone.
