LIPOSUCTION 101 – FACULTY PROFILES

Michele Horwich, RN, is the Practice Manager and is an aesthetic nurse provider at HK Dermatology. Michele has worked alongside Dr. Jeffrey Klein and Dr. Norma Kassardjian in San Juan Capistrano, California, for over 33 years. Michele has gently and effectively injected thousands of patients with tumescent local anesthetic, without any complications or untoward reactions. 

In 1996, Michele developed the Nurses liposuction training course that is conducted in conjunction with Dr. Jeffrey Klein’s Tumescent Liposuction Course for Physicians. Since that time, Michele has trained hundreds of physicians and nurses in tumescent liposuction perioperative duties, including hands-on infiltration training. Beginning in 2015, in addition to her current work with Dr. Jeffrey Klein, Michele became an independent tumescent liposuction nurse consultant, traveling coast to coast to assist Tumescent Liposuction Course physician attendees to train their staff and set up their liposuction practice.

As a aesthetic nurse, Michele performs neurotoxin (Botox® , Jeuveau® & Xeomin®) injections, filler injections, laser treatments, Morpheus8 and microneedling with PRF for skin rejuvenation and hair restoration. Michele has extensive experience with the ICON™ laser (IPL, Fractional, Hair Removal) and was a trainer for Cynosure in 2018 before taking over full time as the practice manager at HK Dermatology.
