About Me

Personal Introduction

I'm Dana Benton, a Registered Nurse and Clinical Nurse Specialist with over 25 years of experience in healthcare. After earning my Master of Science in Nursing from UCSF, I've dedicated my career to helping people feel their best.

My journey to aesthetics began with a simple truth I learned from my great-grandmother, Ella Marie: feeling beautiful isn't just about how you look—it's about how you feel. When I cared for her at the end of her life, I saw how a simple touch, a brushed curl, or a swipe of lipstick could light up her spirit. That experience shaped my approach to nursing and, ultimately, to aesthetic medicine. Therefore, ELLA Aesthetics is named after my great-grandmother, Ella Marie.

My Approach

My philosophy is simple: enhance what makes you uniquely you. I bring medical precision, artistic vision, and genuine care to every treatment, focusing on natural-looking results that help you feel confident and radiant in your own skin.
