Let’s dive into what makes Allison Lester a standout in the field of aesthetics and why so many patients trust her to help them look and feel their best.
When Allison reflects on her journey into aesthetic medicine, she speaks with genuine passion and candor.
“To be honest, it caught me by surprise,” she admits. Starting her career in medical dermatology, she was exposed to the burgeoning demand for aesthetic treatments. What began as a practical addition to her skill set soon evolved into a calling.“This field is so much more than simple beauty treatments—it’s an art form. It requires a deep clinical understanding and a natural eye for balance and detail. What really drives me is the opportunity to help someone feel confident and radiant in their own skin. It’s an incredibly fulfilling experience.”
The Art and Science of Aesthetic Medicine
At the Shafer Clinic, Allison’s treatments are nothing short of personalized masterpieces. Whether it’s full facial rejuvenation or PRP hair restoration, every consultation starts with a conversation.
“My goal is to create results that are beautifully understated,” she explains. “I want people to notice that my patients look refreshed or glowing—not ‘done.’”
Her approach to treatments, such as facial balancing and harmonization, speaks to her artistry. “It’s about enhancing the face as a whole—improving symmetry, balancing proportions, and addressing natural aging changes. It’s subtle, but the results can be life-changing.”
As a clinical trainer and Key Opinion Leader for Allergan, Allison is a trusted expert in the ever-evolving world of aesthetics.
“I’m constantly learning,” she says. “The moment you stop learning, you stop growing. Teaching is a privilege—it not only allows me to share my knowledge but also learn from others in the field. I’ve been fortunate to participate in advisory boards and stay on the cutting edge of new techniques and products.”
Her work with regenerative treatments is particularly exciting. “Using the body’s natural processes to repair and rejuvenate—it’s the future of aesthetic medicine, and I can’t wait to see where it takes us.”
A Day at the Shafer Clinic
For Allison, the Shafer Clinic isn’t just a workplace; it’s a hub of excellence.
“This clinic is unparalleled,” she says. “The tools, technologies, and expertise here allow me to deliver the highest level of care to my patients. It’s an inspiring environment where innovation and patient care are top priorities.”
When asked about her hopes for the future of aesthetic medicine, Allison lights up.
“My hope is for the industry to continue moving toward natural, regenerative treatments that empower patients rather than overcorrecting them. And as an educator, I want to help other providers develop their skills and confidence so they can deliver the best care possible.”
Allison Lester is redefining what it means to be an aesthetic provider—combining artistry, expertise, and empathy to help her patients shine. Her work at the Shafer Clinic exemplifies top-tier care, and her dedication to empowering others ensures her legacy will be as impactful as her results.
