I’ve noticed some new faces around here lately, so it felt like the right time to reintroduce myself 🤍
I’m Rachel Duke, a Certified Aesthetic Nurse Specialist and owner of Rachel Duke Injectables—Richmond’s first independent injectables boutique.
My background was in emergency room nursing before I discovered a love for aesthetics that changed the direction of my career. I’ve spent nearly two decades as an injector, and I’m still very much in the day-to-day of patient care.
In 2015, Allergan Medical Institute invited me to become a faculty member, which has allowed me to share what I’ve learned through national conferences and private training sessions. It’s been incredible to connect with other injectors and contribute to raising the standard of care in our field.
I’m a firm believer in continuous education. I train extensively, network with fellow injector professionals, travel to professional conferences for the latest trends and techniques, and attend advanced anatomy courses annually to deepen my knowledge in facial anatomy. Understanding structure is everything in this work.
If you’re here as a patient or a provider, welcome! This page is about thoughtful work, real education, and honest conversations about aesthetics.
Grateful for everyone who’s been here and those just joining. 💛
