Melissa Whalen RN
A Leader in Cosmetic Nursing for Over 20 Years
I’m Melissa Whalen, a Registered Nurse and cosmetic injector with more than 20 years of experience in aesthetic medicine. I began my career at The Alfred Hospital, where I completed my nursing degree in 1990. After gaining clinical experience across London and Europe, I returned to Melbourne and worked in large public hospitals before transitioning into women’s health and day surgery.
It was during this time that I was introduced to the world of cosmetic medicine. I found myself drawn to the precision, creativity, and personal transformation it offered. After working alongside plastic and cosmetic surgeons, I began developing my skills in lasers and injectables, and I knew I had found my passion.

One of Victoria’s First Independent Nurse Injectors
In the early 2000s, I became one of Victoria’s first independent nurse injectors. I launched Jeune Cosmetic Medicine and spent several years delivering advanced treatments across Melbourne, regional Victoria, and Queensland. Working in partnership with beauty salons, I provided injectable and skin services in environments where access to clinical care was limited.
As my treatments became more advanced and as my family life evolved, I shifted from a mobile model to clinic-based care. I established permanent spaces in Ascot Vale and Caulfield/McKinnon, which remain my main clinic locations today.
My Approach to Treatment
I’ve always believed that the best results are the ones you don’t have to explain. My goal is to enhance what you already love about your appearance while supporting your skin’s long-term health and vitality.
I take the time to understand your goals, listen to your concerns, and create a plan that feels right for you. Whether you’re new to injectables or a long-term client, I’m here to guide you with honesty, care, and a deep commitment to natural, confidence-boosting outcomes.
To stay current, I regularly attend national and international conferences, product trainings, and masterclasses throughout the year.
