Marlee Millsaps

Office Coordinator

Hi I’m Marlee, I was born and raised in Philadelphia, Tennessee on a farm. I’ve always had a strong work ethic and a love for connecting with people. When I’m not in the office or at home, you can usually find me at the gym after work.

I’ve been in the aesthetics industry for three years and have developed a true passion for assisting patients while building genuine and trusting relationships with them. Seeing patients feel confident and happy in their own skin is what I love most about what I do.

My favorite treatment we offer is filler because I love how it enhances each person’s natural beauty while still keeping them looking like themselves, just refreshed and more confident.

I’m so grateful and honored to be part of The Aesthetic Company, and I can’t wait to meet and care for all of your beautiful faces.
