Description

This week, AmSpa founder and CEO, Alex R. Thiersch, JD, speaks with Nena Kallopoulos, PA-C, founder of Drip Medi Spa in Englewood, New Jersey, to explore the realities of practicing aesthetic medicine as a physician assistant. With nearly two decades of clinical experience, Nena shares the challenges of building a compliant aesthetic practice and reflects on her experience navigating a license lapse and subsequent regulatory review. In this conversation:



  • Transitioning from emergency and concierge medicine to IV therapy and aesthetics;

  • Building a compliant med spa as a non-physician;

  • The unexpected consequences of administrative oversights;

  • Her experience with the state licensing board and broader implications for PAs;

  • Why education, unity and advocacy are essential to the future of aesthetic medicine.
