In short

KORA Aesthetics is a founder-led medical spa in Scottsdale, Arizona, specialising in facial balancing, injectables and skin health. Every treatment is performed by a board-certified nurse practitioner and national clinical trainer.

In short

What we do

Four categories. Fourteen treatments.

We offer what we do exceptionally well and refer out the rest. Every treatment is performed by a qualified provider — never handed to a technician.

The assessment

Ten points we assess before we treat any of them.

Chasing one wrinkle at a time is how faces end up looking treated. Facial balancing works from the midline outward — proportion, projection and symmetry as one system.

Assessment point 01

Brow position

Where the brow sits, and how evenly, sets the whole upper third. A heavy or asymmetric brow is usually muscular rather than volumetric — which means relaxing the right depressor does more than adding filler ever would.

What treatment changes

Before and after, side by side.

Each image shows the concern on the left and the treated result on the right, so you can see what a given treatment actually addresses.

Botox · 14 days

11 Lines

Twenty units across the glabella, with brow position deliberately preserved and full expression retained.

Under eye circles removed
PRF injections · 8 weeks

Under eye circles removed

Three sessions of platelet-rich fibrin improving skin thickness and circulation in the tear trough, where darkness came from thin skin rather than pigment.

Individual results vary. All photographs published and shown without retouching.

The founder

Katie Manhardt,
MSN, FNP-C

Katie Manhardt is a board-certified family nurse practitioner and the founder of KORA Aesthetics. She is a national clinical trainer for Galderma and Prollenium — which means some of the injectors working elsewhere in this valley were trained by her. Nursing degree from the University of Northern Colorado, master's from the University of Cincinnati.

A frozen face is a failed treatment. Knowing where not to inject is the harder skill.

What does a national clinical trainer actually mean?

A national clinical trainer is selected to teach other medical professionals product knowledge, anatomy and injection technique. Edit this answer so it precisely reflects the provider’s verified role.

Will I look frozen or overfilled?

The treatment plan is designed against that outcome. The face is assessed as one structure and the smallest appropriate dose is used, with review before adding more.

How much is treatment?

Current prices are published through the Medspa Price Book system and can be viewed on the full Price List page.

Do you take walk-ins?

The practice is appointment only so visits remain private and unhurried.
