Nora Akrawi, LME Medical Esthetician

“Nora’s depth of experience and holistic approach have shaped the standard of care at BOYD since day one.”

-Dr. Charles M. Boyd

With more than 15 years of experience in aesthetics and regenerative treatments, Nora Akrawi blends technical expertise with a deeply personal philosophy: that true beauty is about balance, confidence, and connection. As one of BOYD’s most seasoned providers, she specializes in advanced skin rejuvenation, collagen-stimulating therapies, hair restoration injectables, and energy-based treatments that deliver visible, natural-looking results.

Nora’s background spans multiple disciplines. She holds a Bachelor’s in Commercial Design, a Master’s in Nutrition, and certifications in professional coaching and advanced aesthetic medicine. Her work reflects this multi-dimensional lens—one that honors both form and function, artistry and science. Since 2011, she has worked closely alongside Dr. Charles M. Boyd, helping shape the clinical standards and aesthetic vision of the practice from the very beginning.

Patients trust Nora for her calm presence, highly customized treatment planning, and her expertise in non-invasive regenerative therapies like PRF, stem cells, Sofwave, and Emface. Her results are never overdone. Instead, they reflect her belief in restoring what time has softened, with precision, restraint, and a plan that evolves naturally over time.

Outside of the clinic, Nora is passionate about travel, wellness, and staying connected to the creativity that fuels her work. She brings that same sense of balance into every patient interaction—helping people feel at home in their skin and confident in their care.

At BOYD, Nora is known not only for her clinical skill, but for the relationships she builds. Her goal is never just a refreshed face—it’s a patient who feels empowered, seen, and aligned with how they feel inside.

Q&A with Nora

What’s your role at BOYD and what treatments do you offer?

At BOYD, I specialize in advanced aesthetic treatments designed to rejuvenate, restore, and enhance natural beauty. I offer a range of services including hair injectables, skin rejuvenation treatments, collagen-stimulating therapies, muscle enhancement , stem cell therapies and customized treatment plans that focus on creating balanced, youthful, and naturally beautiful results.

Briefly describe your career path — how did you get into aesthetics?

My journey into aesthetics began with a deep passion for wellness, beauty, and the science behind skin health. I was drawn to the transformative nature of aesthetic medicine—how it blends artistry, precision, and confidence-building. Over the years, I’ve trained extensively to refine my skills and stay at the forefront of new technologies and techniques, allowing me to help patients look and feel their absolute best.

What do you love most about working in this industry?

What I love most is witnessing the confidence that comes when patients see themselves in the mirror and feel good again. It’s not about changing how someone looks—it’s about enhancing what’s already there and bringing out their natural glow. Every face tells a story, and I love being part of helping people feel more aligned with how they see themselves inside.

Have you tried any BOYD treatments? Which ones are your favorites?

Yes! I’ve experienced many of our treatments firsthand. My favorites are Sofwave for tightening and collagen stimulation, and Emface for natural lifting and toning. I also love combining these with customized skincare regimens to maintain radiant, healthy skin.

What concerns do patients commonly come to you with?

Many of my patients come in wanting to refresh their look without appearing “done.” They’re often concerned about aging gracefully, improving skin texture and tone, and achieving subtle lift and definition while maintaining a natural, soft look.

What’s one piece of advice you like to share during patient visits?

Consistency is everything—beautiful, lasting results come from a thoughtful plan, not a one-time treatment. I always remind my patients that investing in skin health and prevention is the best anti-aging strategy.

What do you love most about working at BOYD?

BOYD has such a warm, team-oriented culture. I love that we share the same philosophy—patient-centered care, honesty, and artistry. Every provider here is dedicated to creating natural, refined results that empower confidence.

What makes BOYD’s approach to aesthetics stand out?

Our approach is holistic and personalized. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all beauty. Instead, we take the time to understand each person’s goals, facial anatomy, and lifestyle to craft results that look effortless and uniquely theirs.

Share a favorite patient success story.

One of my favorite moments was when a patient told me that after her treatment, she finally felt like her reflection matched how she felt inside - vibrant and confident. That kind of transformation - where beauty meets self-assurance - is what this work is all about.
