Alexandra (Alie) Bierbaum

Alexandra Bierbaum is a board-certified Nurse Practitioner with ten years of experience in emergency medicine. She possesses a long-standing passion for health, wellness, and skincare. Her background provides a strong foundation in anatomy, safety, and thoughtful decision-making, which translates seamlessly into her aesthetic practice. After years in this field, she is excited to venture into a career that allows her to care for patients in a more proactive, preventative, and personalized way. While the ER honed her critical thinking, precision, and calm decision-making skills, she was drawn to aesthetics for the opportunity to build long-term relationships and help people feel confident and well in their everyday lives, not just in moments of crisis.

Alie is a travel enthusiast who values movement, balance, and overall well-being. She enjoys spending time with her dogs, hiking, exploring new experiences, and being with family. Originally from South Florida, she brings a warm, approachable energy to everything she does. She believes that looking and feeling your best should enhance confidence while still feeling authentic. By combining science, artistry, and a patient-centered approach, Alie creates results that are balanced, refreshed, and thoughtfully tailored to each individual, blending medical expertise with creativity to help patients look and feel their best.
