Katie Manhardt

Katie Manhardt, MSN, FNP-C is a board-certified family nurse practitioner and the founder of KORA Aesthetics in Scottsdale, Arizona. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Northern Colorado and a Master of Science in Nursing from the University of Cincinnati.

Katie serves as a national clinical trainer for both Galderma and Prollenium — a role in which she teaches injection technique and facial anatomy to other medical professionals across the country. In practice it means she is assessed against the same standard other injectors are taught to meet. She is also an authorised provider for ZO Skin Health and certified on SkinPen by Crown Aesthetics.

She practises facial balancing: assessing the face as a single structure against its midline rather than treating complaints one line at a time. Her position, stated plainly, is that a frozen face is a failed treatment — and that knowing where not to inject is the harder skill.

Katie treats patients personally alongside Audrey Bakken, NP and Dana Nichols, NP. Appointments are never delegated to a technician.

Areas of focus: neuromodulators, dermal filler, facial balancing, lip enhancement, filler dissolving and correction, biostimulators, PRF and regenerative treatment, and therapeutic Botox for TMJ, chronic migraine and hyperhidrosis.
