Dermal filler: for lips, cheeks, jawline, chin, and under-eye hollows.
Biostimulators: for gradual collagen building and full-face rejuvenation.
PRF: your own platelet-rich fibrin for under-eyes, skin quality, and hair restoration.
Advanced techniques: PRF gel, threads, and full-face assessment and planning.
What it means to see a national trainer
Most injectors learn their technique from someone. Tara McDermott is that someone.
As a Galderma National Trainer (GAIN), Tara teaches other medical professionals across the country how to do this work. The techniques your last injector was trained on may well be the ones Tara teaches.
Board certified in aesthetic nursing (CANS). The Certified Aesthetic Nurse Specialist credential is the only board certification specific to aesthetic nursing. It requires years of specialty practice, documented hours under a board-certified physician, a rigorous exam and regular renewal. Only a small number of nurses in the United States hold it.
15+ years of experience. Experience at this level shows up in the things you can’t see on a menu: knowing when to say no, reading facial anatomy, and understanding how a face changes over a decade rather than a single appointment.
GALDERMA GAIN TRAINER
CHOSEN BY GALDERMA TO TEACH
Manufacturers select only a small number of injectors to train others medical professionals . It's a credential earned through results and technique, not something you can sign up for. Tara is one of them.
Trained on the newest techniques first
Trainers learn advanced methods before they reach general practice, so what Tara offers today is often what other injectors will learn next year.
The person other injectors call
When a colleague has a complicated case or a complication to manage, Tara is who they ask. That's the level of judgment that comes with your appointment.

WHY PATIENTS FOLLOW TARA
Choosing an injector is personal. Patients stay with Tara because of what she does before the needle ever comes out: she studies your face, listens to what's bothering you, and tells you honestly what will help and what won't. She'd rather you do less and love it than do more and regret it.
As a national trainer, she also sees the results of thousands of treatments beyond her own, which shapes how conservatively and precisely she works.
