You deserve to know who's holding the needle
Most injectable complications come down to one thing: a provider who was trained to follow a pattern, not to read a patient. Aesthetic Collective is a safety-first medical spa where clinical judgment comes first. Our injectors are exclusively ICU-trained nurses and advanced-trained nurse practitioners, led by Dr. Darya Hansen, DNP, ARNP, because we believe aesthetic medicine deserves the same standard of care as any other branch of medicine.
“I didn't want to run a med spa that just followed a checklist. I wanted one where every provider could tell you exactly why they're making the choices they're making, because they've been trained to think, not just to inject.”
ICU training teaches something standard aesthetics courses don't: how to recognize a problem before it becomes one, and how to act when the body doesn't respond the way a textbook says it should. Every provider here brings that judgment into every appointment, whether it's a first Botox visit or a more complex filler correction. The result is natural-looking outcomes, conservative dosing, and care you can actually trust.

“I first came to the Aesthetic Collective because I had a bad experience with a Moxi Laser facial at another medspa and I was concerned about the hyperpigmentation that it caused under my eyes. Immediately, I was met with kindness by the owner Darya and her nurse/injector Sommer. They addressed all of my concerns and made every appointment from the consultation to all follow up appointments feel personal and truly interested in what was best for me. They don't try to hard sell you just to make a sale because they really just want what is in your best interest and what makes you feel the most comfortable! I cannot say enough good things about The Aesthetic Collective and everyone there! Now, over a year later and after "interviewing" other medspas, I will never go anywhere else! So...long story short, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!”
“I was a client at Aesthetic Collective in Des Moines for a couple of years before moving out of state. Even after relocating, I traveled back once to get treatment there rather than switch to someone new right away — that’s how much I trusted them. The office is always spotless, every room, every tool, every surface immaculately clean and well-kept. The staff are consistently professional: thorough consultations, clear explanations of what’s being done and why, and they never rush you through an appointment. The results speak for themselves. Every treatment I had came out looking natural, never overdone, just a refreshed version of me. They clearly take extra care to make sure the outcome looks right, and that kind of precision takes real skill AND care! I’d recommend this place to anyone looking for somewhere clean, professional, and that actually delivers result 🩵🩵🩵 Darya is also an amazingly, inspiring boss lady who does tremendous work keeping this business to the highest of standards!”
“I have been going to the Aesthetic Collective for over 2 years and have seen multiple people for different services, including my main injector Morgan and I can’t speak highly enough! The best 🤍”
