About Tatiana
Tatiana Sarmiento is a compassionate, dedicated aesthetic nurse with more than 19 years of experience as a healthcare provider. Her clinical background spans surgical assisting, ophthalmic technology, home care, oncology nursing, and neurosurgical nursing — a breadth of acute-care experience that shapes how carefully she approaches every aesthetic patient.
She earned a Bachelor of Science with cum laude honors through study at Carabobo University in Venezuela and Universidad del Turabo, and went on to complete a Master of Science in Nursing as a Family Nurse Practitioner. She is licensed in New York and Florida. Her aesthetic training includes certifications across the full range of contemporary techniques — liquid facelift, lip filler injection, PDO threads, and PRP for both facial rejuvenation and hair restoration — and she practices as a specialist in regenerative anti-aging medicine, weight loss management, IV nutrition, carboxytherapy, and laser treatment.
Tatiana began teaching at Empire Medical Training to sharpen her own technique and deliver the safest, highest-quality results for her patients, and education quickly became her passion. She has since trained hundreds of medical professionals across several states. After working with two medical spas and helping countless patients, she recognized the need for a practice of her own, and opened Rejuvenating Family Practice to treat patients with a holistic approach — addressing beauty from the inside out.
Clinical guides medically reviewed by Tatiana
Tatiana is the medical reviewer for Empire’s thread lifting and platelet-rich plasma guides — written to teach the assessment, counselling, and clinical reasoning behind each procedure, while the hands-on technique is taught in the workshop.
Thread LiftingThis Is Not a Facelift" — The Thread Consultation That Prevents Refund RequestsMost thread lift refund requests are written in the consultation, not the procedure room. The scripting that sets magnitude, mechanism and timeline honestly.
Thread LiftingMapping the Insertion Point — A Geometric Method for the Nasolabial VectorMost injectors mark a thread lift insertion point by eye. Constructing it from intersecting reference lines is reproducible, symmetrical and auditable.
Thread LiftingThe 6-to-18-Month Reassessment — Running Threads as a Program, Not a ProcedureThreads behave like a program, not a one-off procedure. How to set the 6-to-18-month reassessment interval and when additive threads beat starting over.
PRP & PRFPhotography and Densitometry: Building Objective Measurement Into a PRP Hair ProtocolHair density measurement for PRP, built as a system — standardised scalp photography, fixed target-area counts, calibre and terminal-to-vellus ratio.
PRP & PRFPRF for the Tear Trough: Viscosity, Cannula Delivery, and What the Before-and-After ShowsPRF for the tear trough: why viscosity and clot behaviour drive cannula delivery, what the periorbital evidence shows, and where the photos mislead.
PRP & PRFCounselling the Hair Timeline: What Months One, Three and Six Actually ShowThe PRP hair growth timeline explained by follicle cycle physiology — why month one shows nothing, why reduced shedding is the first real signal, and how to say it.
PRP & PRFThe Maintenance Gap: Why PRP Hair Patients Stop Coming BackA PRP hair maintenance protocol that patients actually complete — why they disappear after the initial series, the traction problem, and what to build instead.
PRP & PRFPRP and PRF Before and After: Two Photographs, Two Different PromisesPRP and PRF before and after photos differ sharply by product. Why that asymmetry corrupts consent, and how to set expectations that actually hold.
PRP & PRFPRP or PRF for the Scalp: What the Comparative Data Now SayPRP or PRF for the scalp? Head-to-head trial data favour injectable PRF on density, while a short working window over a large field favours PRP.
PRP & PRFWhat PRP Does Not Do: The Scope Conversation That Has to Happen FirstWhat PRP does not do, and how to say it in consultation — no volume, no lift, no laxity correction, no pigment treatment. A scope script for injectors.
