Christopher Kepler
Aesthetic Nurse, Laser and Skin Specialist
I started my medical career in 2009 when I enlisted as a Medic in the United States Army Reserves. In 2011, I graduated from the Army’s Practical Nurse School and later served as a Sergeant/Charge Nurse in the ER and ICU of the 396th Combat Support Hospital until 2018. While serving, I learned my initial medical knowledge as well as valuable communication and critical thinking skills that combined have made me a more successful leader, mentor and provider.
From 2011-2015, I attended the University of Washington where I received my Bachelor’s of Science degree in Biology-Physiology with an emphasis in the pre-medical sciences. While serving and taking classes, I worked full time as a geriatric, psychology and oncology nurse in Seattle.
In 2018, I had the pleasure to get into the field of Dermatology working alongside some of the nation’s leading cosmetic, medical and surgical dermatologists here in PNW. I was fascinated by the positive impact I was able to make through the procedures with my patients through a more personal connection. Additionally, I love being able to marry my two passions of the arts and sciences together. I started learning injections like neurotoxin and fillers then after becoming a Master Injector, advanced into Threads.
In 2020, I was offered a full time Aesthetics Provider position at Amara MedSpa in Bellevue under Oculofacial Plastic Surgeon Dr. Kristin Tarbet. Over the years, I have learned to refine and advance my skills as a provider to be able to confidently assess, plan and execute the treatments. I have continue to advance my technique with injectables and PDO threads. Additionally, I was able to further my education on laser such as Viola IPL, ExcelV, Enlighten and Pico.. I continue to maintain current credentialing and certificates needed to perform these treatments.
