About Cassandra Burraston

Registered Nurse, cosmetic injector, and skin specialist

Cass is one of a small number of cosmetic nurses on the Gold Coast who performs the full spectrum of aesthetic treatments: cosmetic injectables, bio-regenerative facial treatments, CO₂ fractional laser resurfacing, and advanced skin needling with prescription growth factors. Her clinical range, combined with her ongoing work as a nurse at Robina Hospital in General Surgery, gives her a depth of anatomical and physiological knowledge that directly shapes the precision and safety of her aesthetic practice.

Cass is particularly drawn to bio-regenerative treatments, the category of aesthetic medicine focused on stimulating the skin’s own healing and renewal processes rather than simply adding volume or relaxing muscles. Her passion for this space reflects a core belief: that the best aesthetic outcomes come from supporting the skin to become genuinely healthier, not just to look better temporarily.

Clinical approach

Clinical Philosophy

“I was drawn to bio-regenerative treatments because they align with my philosophy of enhancing natural beauty through healthy skin. I love helping clients achieve long-term improvements in skin quality, confidence, and overall wellbeing through evidence-based regenerative treatments.”

Cass takes a holistic, full-face approach to treatment planning, considering skin quality, facial structure, ageing patterns, and each client’s individual goals before making any recommendation. She has a particular interest in clients who want a natural approach to ageing well: not a dramatic change, but healthier, stronger, more radiant skin that reflects how they actually feel.

Consultations

Patient Education & Open Communication

Patient education and open communication are central to every consultation. Cass ensures clients understand their options, realistic outcomes, and the reasoning behind every recommendation, in a comfortable, supported environment where they feel genuinely cared for.

Nursing

Nursing Background

Cass’s nursing career began in 2016 when she completed her Enrolled Nurse qualification, before going on to complete a Bachelor of Nursing at Griffith University in 2019. During her degree, she gained perioperative and recovery experience in a day surgery theatre, an early foundation in procedural safety, wound management, and patient recovery that would later prove directly relevant to her work in laser and skin treatments.

In 2023, she completed a Postgraduate Qualification in Acute Care Nursing at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT), further deepening her clinical assessment and high-acuity patient management skills.

2024 to present

Aesthetic Medicine Career

Cass entered aesthetic medicine in 2024, completing advanced cosmetic injectable training with three of Australia’s most respected aesthetic education providers: Fresh Clinics, the Galderma Academy, and the Allergan Medical Institute. Her foundational training covered facial anatomy, cosmetic consultation, anti-wrinkle injection technique, dermal filler technique, full-face assessment, infection prevention, patient safety, and the recognition and management of complications.

She joined That Face Place in 2024, where she has since been mentored directly by co-founders Zoey Madden RN and Kate Gonzalez RN, building clinical judgement, treatment sequencing skills, and an approach to client care consistent with the TFP standard.

Since entering aesthetic practice, Cass has performed approximately 1,900 patient consultations across injectables, bio-regenerative treatments, laser resurfacing, and skin needling.

Hospital Nursing

General Surgery & Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

Cass currently works as a Registered Nurse at Robina Hospital, specialising in General Surgery and Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. This specialist surgical environment, where wound healing, tissue response, scar management, and post-operative recovery are daily clinical realities, this gives her an unusually deep understanding of skin biology and tissue regeneration that she applies directly to her aesthetic practice. She continues hospital work specifically to keep these clinical skills sharp and current.
