  • Founder/Nurse Practitioner

    Sara is a multi-state, dual-board certified nurse practitioner with formal, hands-on training in basic and advanced toxin and dermal filler procedures, skin care and laser therapy. She received a bachelor's degree in Business Administration from Southern Miss, Bachelor’s in Nursing from Mississippi University for Women, and her doctorate in nursing practice (DNP) from Samford University in Birmingham, AL. Her medical background is diverse, including plastic surgery, emergency medicine, critical care and urgent care. Sara serves in the Air National Guard as a flight nurse, enhancing her assessment skills and problem-solving in difficult situations. In her spare time, she enjoys traveling and spending time with her family.

  • Sara’s personal favorites are Botox and Morpheus8, and here's why:

    Botox is a game-changer for smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines, providing a refreshed and youthful look that our clients absolutely love.

    Morpheus8, on the other hand, is remarkable for its skin rejuvenation capabilities, combining microneedling with radiofrequency to tighten and revitalize the skin.

    These treatments are at the heart of what we do because they deliver fantastic results and boost our clients' confidence immensely.


  • Aesthetician

    Kayla is proud to call Central Mississippi home. After moving to Virginia in 2016, she completed an advanced Master Aesthetician program while starting her family before returning to Mississippi in 2024 to continue her aesthetics career at Highland Medical Aesthetics in Flowood.

    Kayla’s passion for skincare runs deeper than beauty alone. After watching her grandfather battle skin cancer from years of sun damage, she became determined to learn how to help people better understand, protect, and care for their skin. That experience ultimately led her to pursue aesthetics and dedicate her career to helping clients feel confident in their own skin.

    Kayla graduated from the Mississippi Institute of Aesthetics in Clinton, Mississippi in 2014 and later expanded her education through the Institute of Advanced Medical Aesthetics in Ashland, Virginia, where she completed her Master Aesthetician training. She is certified in ZO Skin Health, Colorescience, and SkinPen microneedling, and is passionate about building personalized treatment plans that deliver long-term results.

    Her treatment philosophy is simple: nurture, invest in, and take care of your skin. Kayla believes skin health is a reflection of consistency and care, and she loves guiding clients through customized plans that combine professional treatments with effective home care routines.

    Kayla especially enjoys performing SkinPen microneedling treatments and designing long-term skincare strategies to address concerns like texture, aging, and overall skin health. Some of her favorite products to recommend include SIV Biome Balancing Serum, Plated Skin Science, and Colorescience mineral SPF to support resilient, healthy skin.

    Clients often describe Kayla as knowledgeable, comforting, and incredibly attentive, and many return again and again for both her expertise and the relaxing experience she provides in the treatment room.

    Outside of the clinic, Kayla enjoys music, dancing, crocheting, and spending time with her daughter, Kleo. She’s also a proud pet mom to Ali the cat, Mac and Chilli the dogs, and a few fish. When she’s not with family, you’ll likely find her watching Bravo TV or listening to podcasts like Morbid or The Skintrovert Podcast.

    Her go-to coffee order? A Banana Bread Blonde from 7 Brew or a brown sugar oatmilk cortado from Starbucks.

    Kayla is committed to continuing education and staying up to date with the latest advancements in aesthetics so she can always provide the best care for her clients.

    Book with Kayla to experience personalized skincare, advanced treatments, and a provider who is truly invested in helping you feel confident in your skin.


  • Kayla loves treatments that deliver real skin transformation over time. One of her favorite services to perform is SkinPen microneedling, because it helps improve texture, stimulate collagen, and support long-term skin health. She also enjoys creating customized treatment plans that combine professional treatments with the right skincare to help clients achieve their goals.

    For Kayla, the most rewarding part of aesthetics is helping clients build a routine that nurtures their skin and creates lasting confidence.

  • Esthetician

    Originally from West Monroe, Louisiana, Jade moved to Madison, Mississippi 10 years ago and quickly found her place in the world of skincare. She graduated from the Mississippi Institute of Cosmetology and Aesthetics in January of 2023 and joined the Highland Medical Aesthetics team in July of 2024, where she brings both clinical expertise and creative vision to the practice as an Aesthetician and Highland’s Marketing Director.

    Jade specializes in results-driven treatments like Hydrafacials, customized chemical peels, rosacea management, advanced skincare consultations, and lash lifts. She is ZO Skin Health Expert and has certifications as an Acne Expert. Jade’s philosophy is simple: healthy skin first—everything else follows. She is passionate about educating clients, creating realistic treatment plans, and helping people feel comfortable and confident throughout their skin journey.

    Her favorite products to recommend include Plated INTENSE, SIV Biome Balancing Serum, Colorescience mineral SPF, and the iconic ZO Exfoliating Polish—all staples she loves for building strong, resilient skin.

    Clients often comment on Jade’s warm personality and infectious smile. She has a natural ability to make people feel at ease while guiding them toward achievable, long-term skin goals.

    When she’s not in the treatment room, Jade enjoys reading, film photography, reality TV, and listening to the Skintrovert Podcast by Sam Bazile. She’s also a proud pet mom to her two cats and two dogs—Fat Gucci, Suki, Hendrix, and Mellow. Her go-to coffee order? An iced salted blonde latte (extra salted).

    Looking ahead, Jade plans to pursue certifications in permanent makeup and advanced skin treatments, continuing to expand her ability to help clients look and feel their best.

    Book with Jade to experience personalized skincare and one of the best Hydrafacials in Flowood, Mississippi.

  • Jade loves treatments that combine relaxation with real skin results. Her go-to service is the Hydrafacial, especially when paired with dermaplaning for an instant glow and smoother product absorption. She also loves helping clients manage concerns like rosacea, acne, and overall skin health through customized facials and personalized skincare plans.

    And while Jade is known for glowing skin, her clients will tell you not to overlook one of her hidden talents — lash lifts and tints that make mornings a whole lot easier.
