Courtney Mason, APRN, FNP, Lead Aesthetic Injector and Nurse Practitioner at Sanjiva Medical Spa in Dallas, TX

Courtney Mason, APRN, FNP

Aesthetic Injector

Courtney serves as Lead Aesthetic Injector at Sanjiva Medical Spa in Dallas, where she works alongside Medical Director Praveen Guntipalli, MD, FACP, to provide personalized, physician-guided aesthetic care. With more than six years of dedicated experience in aesthetic medicine, Courtney combines advanced clinical expertise with an artist’s eye to help patients achieve natural, balanced, and confidence-building results.

Courtney earned both her Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) degrees from Texas Woman’s University and is a Texas-licensed Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN). As a Family Nurse Practitioner, she blends advanced medical training with a deep understanding of facial anatomy and aesthetics to develop individualized treatment plans that prioritize patient safety while delivering refined, natural-looking outcomes.

She specializes in comprehensive facial rejuvenation using today’s most advanced injectable and energy-based technologies. Her expertise includes Botox®, Dysport®, dermal fillers, Sculptra®, facial balancing, lip enhancement, jawline and chin contouring, and customized anti-aging treatment plans. Courtney is also extensively trained on the Sciton JOULE® platform, including HALO® Hybrid Fractional Laser, BBL HERO®, Forever Clear BBL® for acne, BARE HR® laser hair removal, and Contour TRL® laser resurfacing. Her experience also includes body contouring and comprehensive skin rejuvenation protocols designed to improve skin quality, texture, and overall appearance.

Courtney’s passion for aesthetics began before her nursing career while working as a professional makeup artist during nursing school. She quickly realized that combining artistic vision with advanced medical training would allow her to create results that were both aesthetically beautiful and medically responsible. That philosophy continues to guide every patient consultation and treatment today.

She believes exceptional aesthetic outcomes begin with listening. Every consultation starts with understanding a patient’s goals, evaluating facial anatomy as a whole, and developing a personalized treatment plan designed to enhance natural beauty rather than change it. Courtney’s philosophy is simple: the best aesthetic work should leave people noticing how refreshed and confident you look—not wondering what you had done.

As part of Sanjiva Medical Spa’s physician-led team, Courtney works closely with Dr. Guntipalli to provide comprehensive, evidence-based care in a collaborative medical environment. Patients appreciate her gentle approach, meticulous attention to detail, honest recommendations, and commitment to making every treatment experience comfortable, educational, and personalized.

Dedicated to continuous professional growth, Courtney regularly participates in advanced education and hands-on training through industry leaders, including Allergan Medical Institute, Galderma ASPIRE, and Sciton’s certified provider education programs, ensuring she remains current with the latest techniques, technologies, and best practices in aesthetic medicine.

Whether performing cosmetic injectables, advanced laser procedures, or developing long-term skin rejuvenation plans, Courtney is committed to helping patients look refreshed, feel confident, and achieve elegant, natural-looking results that complement their unique features.

Outside the practice, Courtney enjoys spending time with her family and close friends and values maintaining the balance that allows her to bring compassion, enthusiasm, and genuine care to every patient she serves.

She is extensively trained in Botox®, Dysport®, dermal fillers, Sculptra®, and advanced injectable treatments, with a strong focus on facial balance, harmony, and long-term skin health. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Health Education from Texas A&M University and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Texas Woman’s University, along with her Registered Nurse and Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES) credentials.

Alexis began her nursing career in a high-acuity Labor & Delivery unit at Medical City Dallas, a Level IV Maternal Designated facility, where she provided care in high-pressure, critical clinical settings. Fun fact: she helped deliver over 81 babies—two of them entirely on her own. She later transitioned into perioperative cosmetic nursing at a plastic surgery center, where her passion for aesthetics, precision, and patient outcomes continued to grow, ultimately leading her into injectable aesthetics. Her path into aesthetic medicine is deeply personal. Prior to working in aesthetics, Alexis experienced a vascular occlusion during her own filler treatment. As a patient, she witnessed firsthand the importance of expert technique, safety protocols, and immediate medical preparedness. That pivotal experience shaped her philosophy of care and fueled her commitment to raising the standard of safety and excellence in aesthetic medicine.

Today, Alexis blends clinical precision with an artist’s eye to create customized treatment plans using neuromodulators, biostimulators, and dermal fillers, always tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy and goals. She believes aesthetic medicine is where science meets art and is dedicated to providing a safe, educational, and highly personalized experience.
