A career that began in special effects and facial prosthetics for Off-Broadway productions and evolved through aesthetics, paramedical skincare and acupuncture into a clinical practice focused on restoring the body after surgery, injury and life.

“Restoring skin is an act of healing, not just aesthetics.”

The practice

Thirty-two years in beauty, health and paramedical aesthetics.

Healing Skin Medical Aesthetics in Kissimmee is one of two clinics she owns and operates. Patients come for areola restoration after mastectomy, paramedical scar camouflage, stretch mark revision and inkless work. Practitioners come from across the country to train with her. The clinical work informs the curriculum, and the curriculum is shaped by what works in practice.

Documentation is prepared with the rigor of any medical procedure: Dr. Rusnak’s background in CPT coding and medical necessity letters means patients receive the paperwork they need to pursue reimbursement under the Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act. She collaborates regularly with plastic surgeons and cancer foundations, where many of her patients are referred from.

Beyond the clinic

Teacher. Founder. Practitioner.

Most weeks of the year, Dr. Rusnak is in clinic with patients. Several weeks a year she is teaching: paramedical tattoo certification in Orlando, New York, Houston and Las Vegas, with the 3D Areola Masterclass following each session. The training calendar is built around the clinic, not the other way around.

Outside Healing Skin she operates AcuMedGroup, her acupuncture practice and VA Community Care affiliation, and Dr. Rusnak Wellness, a line of clinically formulated aftercare and skincare developed alongside her clinical work.
