Let's be real for a sec

You want great skin. You just haven't had a plan.

Every face in here leaves looking like the best version of itself.

You take care of everyone else first. Work, kids, partner, house. Somewhere along the way, your skin got put on hold. And when you finally think about doing something for you, the questions pile up:

  • Where do I even start?
  • Will it actually make a difference, or is it just a nice hour?
  • Who is treating me, and are they qualified?
  • What if I try lip filler and it's too much?

Those are fair questions. Maybe you've bought every serum on the shelf and still don't know what's working. Maybe you've been burned by a facial that promised glass skin and delivered nothing. Maybe a friend's lips went a little too far.

That's exactly why we work the way we do. We start with your skin and build a plan you can actually keep. Botox and lip filler come in only when they fit, always conservative and built gradually. Small, consistent steps. Real, visible results.

I'm not here to change your face. I'm here to make people ask if you've been sleeping better.

Kari Sullivan, FNP-C, founder and injector at VIVE Aesthetics

Meet your injector + founder

Hi, I'm Kari, your new face friend.

I'm Kari Sullivan, FNP-C, a board-certified family nurse practitioner and the founder of VIVE. I've been a nurse since 2010, a nurse practitioner since 2018, and I've specialized in aesthetics since 2020. I got into aesthetics because I kept seeing the same thing: women who wanted to look and feel a little fresher, but didn't know where to start or who to trust.

I get it. I want my own results to look like a really good night of sleep, not like I had "something" done.

So we focus on what makes the biggest difference over time: healthy skin, subtle Botox and soft, natural lip filler. My whole thing is starting small, explaining everything, and building results you actually love.

When I'm not in the treatment room, I'm a mom of four (including twins!), deep in a true crime podcast, or on a Target run hunting for the perfect Amazon dupe. My bernedoodle is a bit of a psycho, but such a good cuddler.

Here's what your first visit actually looks like.

1

Come in + get comfy

Grab a drink and settle in. Nobody's rushing you into treatment before we talk.

2

We talk about your skin + goals

What bugs you, what you love, what you've tried, and what you never want to repeat. Bring the screenshots. I'll tell you honestly what's realistic.

3

Your custom plan

You'll hear exactly what I recommend, how much product, and the total cost before anything happens.

4

Treatment + follow-up

Treatment usually takes under an hour. You leave with aftercare in writing, and we follow up to make sure you love it. A tox follow-up is recommended at 2 weeks, and lip filler at 4–6 weeks. Skin treatments are typically repeated every 2–4 weeks, depending on your treatment plan.

The VIVE promise

Three things you can count on every time.

I'll tell you no.

If something won't look natural on your face, or your skin isn't ready, I'll say so. Even if it means a smaller appointment today.

No surprise pricing.

You'll know the total before we start. No pressure to buy packages or products you don't need.

You're never on your own.

Questions after your appointment? Once you've opted in on your intake forms, you can text us. Every lip filler client also gets a follow-up 4–6 weeks later.
