Enhance, don’t change.

Her Story

From the ER to the Injection Room

Paula Shuster's path to aesthetics didn't start in a med spa — it started in the emergency room. For over a decade, she worked as an ER nurse, the kind of job that leaves no room for hesitation. Every decision mattered. Every detail mattered. That precision, and a steady focus on the person in front of her, never left.

In 2016, she brought that same discipline into a new chapter: transitioning to become an Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner in New York City, where she had the privilege of working alongside some of the city's most renowned plastic surgeons. In the years since, she's managed and operated medical spas across New York before founding ACE Aesthetics — a private boutique & concierge practice built on the same principle that guided her through a decade in the trauma unit.

The person matters more than the procedure.

Paula is also a mother and entrepreneur — balancing the precision of her craft with the perspective of someone building something meant to last, for her clients and her family alike.

Her Philosophy

Enhance, don’t change.

Facial harmonization is Paula's signature — the strategic, considered placement of dermal filler, Botox, and PRP to enhance what's already there, never to change it. Every plan is designed so clients leave looking like themselves, only more rested, more refreshed, more them.

Glowing Results & Reviews

I got my lips and botox done by Paula, she was so gentle and professional. She made my lips look PERFECT! I will be seeing her again for my injections.

Paula Shuster is the most INCREDIBLE INJECTOR I have ever gone to. Paula by far beats them ALL! She is gentle, a perfectionist, educates you and ensures you get the exact results. I will never go to another injector except for Paula.

I was nervous because this was my first time getting a lip filler but Paula was amazing, comforting and very informative of what to expect. My lips look AMAZING and it was a great first time experience. I will definitely be back!
