Professional Background & Expertise:
Shireen Shatti’s journey to becoming a Certified Nurse Practitioner in facial plastics and aesthetic medicine has been anything but conventional. With a degree in chemistry and pre-med aspirations, she ventured into a variety of fields, including AmeriCorps service, schizophrenia brain imaging research, and orthopedic sports medicine following a brief stint in medical school. Though her diverse experiences shaped her medical career, it was her work in cosmetic and medical dermatology that ignited her passion for aesthetic nursing. Inspired by the transformative impact of aesthetic treatments on her friends, Shireen combined her passion for science, aesthetics, and people into a unique career in aesthetic medicine.
At Columbus Facial Plastics, Shireen’s expertise lies in procedures, lasers, and combination treatments. She prides herself on understanding the science behind various treatments, allowing her to create synergistic plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs and lifestyle. To stay at the forefront of her field, Shireen continuously engages with the latest research, participates in cosmetic dermatology and laser board reviews, and learns from experts through podcasts and live sessions.
Philosophy of Care & Treatment Approach:
Shireen’s philosophy of care centers on meeting patients where they are. She begins each consultation by understanding the patient’s desires and goals, whether they’re looking for a quick fix or embarking on a longer aesthetic journey. Her approach is to start slow and steady, building natural-looking results over time. She tailors her treatments based on factors like skin type, age, and medical history to ensure the best possible outcomes without risking long-term damage.
What truly sets Shireen apart is her holistic approach to patient care. She encourages her patients to bring up all of their health concerns, not just those related to aesthetic treatments. She talks about everything with her patients and is always willing to research and find answers to her patients’ questions, no matter how diverse. This commitment to comprehensive care and continuous learning allows her to provide a level of support that goes far beyond typical aesthetic treatments, fostering trust and long-term relationships with her patients.
Favorite Procedures & Patient Success:
Among her favorite procedures are broadband light and halo laser combinations, followed by treatments like sculptra. Shireen loves this approach because it stimulates the body’s natural collagen production, resulting in natural-looking enhancements that give patients the biggest bang for their buck.
