Upskill Aesthetics Training Academy

Upskill Aesthetics Training Academy is a premier provider of aesthetic medicine training for Physicians, Physician Assistants, Nurse Practitioners, Registered Nurses and Dentists. Our mission is to equip licensed healthcare professionals with the skills and knowledge to safely and effectively administer aesthetic treatments. Upskill Aesthetics Training Academy was founded on the principle of safety, first and foremost, in the area of medical aesthetics.  In an area of medicine, where there is no official certifying body, it is imperative that each healthcare provider take the time to advance their knowledge on a continuing basis.  Our founder and lead instructor, Kimberly Mello M.S. PA-C, has been practicing medicine for 22 years, injecting for 11 of those years.  Despite that experience, she herself, attends multiple training courses yearly to keep her knowledge and techniques up to date.  Her passion for training and helping aesthetic providers be the safest they can be, is what motivated her to open Upskill Aesthetics Training Academy.  Through our comprehensive training program, we empower our students to elevate their practice and deliver exceptional patient care in a safe and effective matter.

OPENING OF HER MEDSPA AND PASSION FOR TEACHING

I have been a certified Physician Associate for over 22 years, and I have been an Aesthetic Injector for over 11 years.  My aesthetic career started with a large Medical Spa chain in Northern California, where I learned the very basics of injectables and lasers.

I have been a certified Physician Associate for over 22 years, and I have been an Aesthetic Injector for over 11 years.  My aesthetic career started with a large Medical Spa chain in Northern California, where I learned the very basics of injectables and lasers. Ultimately, I moved on to a Dermatology Practice, spending a short time there. During that short time, I had the opportunity to train with Dr. Steve Yoelin for the launch of Juvederm Voluma. Ultimately, I landed my dream job as a Plastic Surgery PA and became the lead injector in that practice for 6 years. There, in addition to my surgical assisting duties, I began to really find my passion in injecting and teaching. During my tenure there, I trained with Dr. Mauricio de Maio, Dr. Chris Surek (virtually), in person with Leslie Fletcher, N.P, Shadi Vakili, FNP-C. and Nicola Lowery, PA-C.

Kim is a mentee of Julie Bass Kaplan and credits much of her success to learning from Julie.

In 2021 I decided to open my own Medical Spa Movel Medical Aesthetics, with the help of my Medical Director Dr. John Romano, a Plastic Surgeon out of Fremont, Ca. I knew then that I needed to soak up as much knowledge as possible to be a safe, advanced injector.  I have made it my mission, for over 3 years, to attend as many trainings as possible, as well as continuing medical education courses, that time allows.  During this time, I have also found a passion for teaching proper injection techniques as well as safety in injecting.  I feel there is a need for strong, experienced injectors to be industry trainers.  In an industry where there is no certifying body, it is imperative that new injectors are trained extensively in injection safety and anatomy.
