Meet Catherine

Catherine Elizabeth Curtin, MSN, BSN, FNP-C, RN-BC

She’s seen trends come and go, technologies evolve, and products rise in popularity, but one thing remains constant: her commitment to safe, natural-looking results that honor each patient’s individuality. Experience doesn’t just mean she knows how to use the tools—it means she knows when, where, and why to use them. It’s the difference between doing a treatment and delivering a transformation.

Experience and Training

Education and Training

Always on the cutting edge of the Aesthetic Industry, Catherine continues to expand her knowledge by attending innovative seminars and training with some of the most renowned Aesthetic Practitioners in the world. As an Allergan Trainer, Catherine was fortunate to be in proximity to world-class injectors, always learning new pearls and evolving to provide the most natural and safest treatments.

With nearly 20 years in aesthetic medicine, Catherine Curtin is a nationally recognized and sought-after aesthetic Nurse Practitioner specializing in complete facial rejuvenation and harmonization.

In addition to running her private practice with offices in Bronxville and Bridgehampton, Catherine has the distinction reserved for only a select group of top-tier aesthetic professionals: She was a national trainer for the Allergan Medical Institute (AMI) from 2021 to 2026. This prestigious appointment speaks volumes—not only about Catherine’s deep expertise in facial anatomy and advanced injection techniques, but also her commitment to elevating the standards of care across the industry.

Allergan, the global leader behind trusted names like Botox® and Juvéderm®, chooses only the most respected and skilled practitioners to educate other medical professionals.

As part of this role, Catherine traveled throughout the country to provide in-depth, hands-on training to physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, dentists, and registered nurses—ensuring they deliver safe, natural-looking, and high-quality results for their own patients.

Popular demand for her services comes from more than experience and knowledge. Her extraordinary eye takes Catherine to another level: she is an artist with an aesthetic that is essential to clients.

She studies each client’s bone structure and is able to enhance the natural beauty of each person. Client after client raves over the confidence they feel after working with Catherine as she highlights their best selves.

The net result of Catherine’s skills and vision is trust. She builds a trusting provider-patient relationship thereby empowering her patients with the knowledge necessary to make healthy decisions about their aesthetic wellness.

Before founding Beauty & Fly in 2020, Catherine was the well-known face and premier aesthetic injector at an ever-expanding medical spa in the Tri-State area, where she played an integral part in their growth and expansion from 2007 to 2020.

Catherine Curtin started nursing in 1992 at New York University Medical Center and has continuously grown her knowledge base throughout her career. She earned a Bachelor of Science from Salisbury University in Maryland then graduated from Pace University’s accelerated BSN program in one year.

While working at Memorial Sloan Kettering, she returned to Pace University where she earned a Masters in Family Health as a Nurse Practitioner in 1998 and went on to practice at Mt. Sinai, New York Presbyterian/ Weill Cornell Campus, and St. Vincent’s Comprehensive Cancer Center.

In 2006, realizing that health & wellness and preventative medicine was her passion, Catherine enrolled in the Institute for Integrative Nutrition while concurrently obtaining training for Botox and dermal fillers, and ultimately began the transition from hospital and intensive care nursing to the field of aesthetics.

Philosophy

Trust + Aesthetics + Expertise
= a naturally beautiful you!

“I have come to realize the impact that something as seemingly superficial as a reduction in facial wrinkles can have on a person. It is profoundly moving when a patient tells me that they feel so much better because they look better. When they hug me at their follow-up and tell me how refreshed and confident they feel, it’s extremely fulfilling and what makes my work so rewarding.”

Beauty is individual, and everyone possesses beauty. I help each Patient realize and maintain their best, most natural, and confident self.

Realizing your natural beauty and achieving your aesthetic goal is my main objective, and I employ all the tools and resources available to help you get there.

Maintaining your best self well into your yonder years is absolutely real! I have built my career helping people just like you accomplish just that…natural and beautiful results!

A note from Catherine

I practice what I practice. Literally! I was 39 when I made the transition from acute care to aesthetic medicine. By that time, my skin was stressed and showing its age, and then some!

Years of lifeguarding in college with little to no SPF, followed by years of sunbathing in my 20’s and 30’s had taken its toll. My skin was looking less sun-kissed goddess and more sun-damaged! It was then I decided to take action.

I started using Retin A, Vitamin C, and medical-grade skincare. I also started using Botox and fillers and skin tightening treatments, micro-needling with PRP and LED light therapy. I also did a series of Fraxel and IPL treatments to reverse my superficial sun damage. All of these treatments combined helped to take years off of my face and reversed my aging.

Then I was sideswiped at 46 when I was diagnosed with a rare uterine leiomyosarcoma (don’t google it, it’s really depressing) that required a hysterectomy, which threw me into early menopause. As I lost my hormones, I gained a deep appreciation for my pre-emptive beauty treatments, which were critical in sparing my skin through the intense physical and biological changes.

Don’t get me wrong, my face is not perfect, but perfection is not an attainable objective. The objective is to look like yourself by turning back time and feeling confident and radiant in your renewed skin. I want you to stay true to your aesthetic, as I have stayed true to mine.

FAQ

Common Questions About
Catherine

A nurse practitioner holds a master's degree and is licensed to diagnose, prescribe and treat. In aesthetics that means finding the cause of a change in the skin before choosing a treatment for it.

Some concerns need a surgeon, and Catherine refers to oculoplastic and facial plastic surgeons for those. Thin under-eye skin often needs skin treatment before volume, and in that case the plan starts with skincare and resurfacing.

Pace University, MSN in 1998, after six years of hospital nursing that began at NYU Medical Center. That is why Catherine takes a full medical history. Injectables became her full-time work in 2007. She spent nearly 13 years as the lead injector in a high-volume practice, then opened her own practice in 2020 to spend more time with each patient.

Yes.

How much to place at a first appointment. Early on, Catherine corrected fully in one sitting. Now she treats conservatively and adds more at a return visit if the healed result needs it.

When nobody can point to it. People say you look well and cannot say why. Over-filling is harder to undo, so Catherine adds more at a follow-up.
