What makes Michelle Bowers with Biltmore Dermatology a good neighbor?
What happens when a hospice nurse follows an unexpected path into aesthetic medicine? Michelle Bowers, an aesthetic RN with Biltmore Dermatology in Asheville, North Carolina, reveals her fascinating journey and philosophy in this heartfelt conversation.
Michelle brings nearly two decades of nursing experience to her role, having made a dramatic career pivot during the COVID pandemic. Now celebrating five years in aesthetic medicine, she's thrilled to bring specialized cosmetic treatments to Biltmore Dermatology's established practice. What makes her approach special? A dedication to natural, holistic treatments that enhance rather than drastically change a person's appearance.
"A misconception is that everyone's going to look unnatural," Michelle explains, countering the fear of "those big lips or those big cheeks" that many associate with cosmetic procedures. Instead, she focuses on helping patients feel confident while still looking like themselves. This patient-centered approach has created meaningful relationships that Michelle treasures as the most rewarding aspect of her work.
Beyond her professional identity, Michelle shares her love for hiking the North Carolina mountains and spending quality time with her children. She also opens up about a profound personal challenge—Hurricane Helene's devastating impact on her wedding plans and her now-husband's home. Through this crisis, she discovered the extraordinary resilience of the Asheville community, finding unexpected gifts in how people came together during hardship.
Working alongside the physicians and staff at Biltmore Dermatology, Michelle embodies their mission: "We deeply care about people and the whole person. We want people to feel good and be the healthiest, happiest versions of themselves." Ready to learn more?
