Anyssa Samaniego, FNP-BC

Anyssa Samaniego, FNP-BC is a dedicated San Diego Nurse Practitioner and Aesthetic Injector with five years of experience in the aesthetic industry. Her foundation in critical care as an ICU nurse, combined with her ongoing role in the plastic surgery operating room, has shaped a highly trained clinical eye- allowing her to understand facial anatomy not just conceptually, but in real time.

This perspective translates into her approach as an injector: intentional, precise, and deeply individualized.

Anyssa is known for creating elegant, natural refinements that enhance — never overpower. She believes the features patients often question are the very details that make them distinctive, and her work is rooted in preserving that individuality while bringing harmony and balance to the face. Her specialty lies in biostimulation and regenerative treatments, designing comprehensive plans that support longterm skin health, collagen production and subtle, progressive rejuvenation. With a background in laser and medical-grade skincare— where she has also played a role in training and education—she approaches every patient holistically, integrating skin, structure, and overall aesthetic goals. Blending advanced clinical knowledge with a refined artistic approach, Anyssa delivers results that are understated, elevated, and authentically aligned with each patient-guided always by safety, honesty, and intention.

Ashley Atlas, MMSc, PA-C

Ashley is a board-certified Physician Assistant whose clinical experience spans more than 15 years after completing training at Emory University in Atlanta. That broad background — including critical care, emergency medicine, cardiology, and family medicine — informs a safety-first, evidence-based approach to cosmetic treatments.

She first became interested in cosmetic dermatology nearly 20 years ago while training on New York City’s Upper East Side alongside a leading cosmetic dermatologist. Over the years she’s watched the field evolve and is committed to offering refined techniques and individualized treatment plans that enhance each patient’s natural beauty. She believes aesthetic care should be a welcoming, respectful space where patients can invest in trusted expertise and outcomes that feel authentically “them.” Ashley approaches every patient visit with warmth and a focus on natural-looking results.

Originally from the Los Angeles area, Ashley now lives in San Diego with her husband and three children and feels grateful to be “living the dream.”

  • I have had both neurotoxin and filler and 424 has been so great with keeping my cost affordable and maintainable. I would not trust my face to anyone else.

  • Love Nellie and her team! I have sent many of my own patients to her and everyone who has met her agrees she is simply the best. Anyone nervous about starting fillers/ neurotoxins will feel heard and taken care of here without being pressured or uncomfortable.
