Shay Moinuddin (professionally known as Shay Beauty RN) is an American registered nurse and Certified Aesthetic Nurse Specialist. She is the clinic director of The Few Institute for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery in Chicago and has been cited in broadcast, lifestyle, and medical publications on topics related to non-surgical rejuvenation, skin care, and aesthetic practice. Her work includes a co-authored study in the peer-reviewed Aesthetic Surgery Journal.[1]
Education and career
editAccording to her professional biography, Moinuddin holds a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and a Master of Science in Healthcare Administration.[2] She joined The Few Institute in 2008, working in aesthetic nursing and practice management. Her clinical role includes neuromodulators, dermal fillers, and laser resurfacing, and she has promoted what the Institute describes as a “Stackable Treatment®” combining multiple non-surgical approaches.[3]
In 2019, the trade publication Plastic Surgery Practice profiled her role in transitioning the Institute to a fully digital, paperless patient records system, citing her work in clinical administration as well as patient care.[4]
Expert commentary in media
editSkincare routines
editBroadcast coverage has cited Moinuddin’s recommendations for antioxidants, retinoids, exfoliation, and hydration as the foundation of effective skincare. She has described vitamin C and sunscreen as essential in early adulthood, exfoliation to counter slowed cell turnover in middle age, and peptide-based products to support hydration and collagen later in life.[5]
Aesthetic technologies
editIn media interviews, she has discussed non-invasive devices such as Sofwave, an ultrasound-based treatment used for skin laxity, including applications for the upper arms following weight loss. The treatment was described as stimulating collagen and elastin production and considered safe for multiple skin types.[6]
In the lifestyle outlet Well+Good, she was cited on the use of BroadBand Light (BBL) therapy to address pigmentation and redness, minimize pore size, and improve fine lines.[7]
Patient guidance and safety
editMoinuddin has used broadcast interviews to emphasize the importance of choosing board-certified providers, providing accurate medical histories, and maintaining realistic expectations during cosmetic consultations. She has also advised that treatment planning should consider differences in skin tone, as laser selection and safety vary for darker complexions.[8]
Trends and misinformation
editShe has addressed online beauty trends, including clarifying that dermaplaning does not cause thicker hair regrowth and is considered safe even during pregnancy. She has cautioned against "slugging," a TikTok trend involving heavy occlusive ointments, as potentially pore-clogging for acne-prone individuals.[9]
She has also commented on men’s personal care, noting increased demand among younger men for procedures such as fractional radiofrequency for acne scarring, ultrasound lifting for jawline definition, and hair loss treatments supported by clinical studies.[10]
GLP-1 weight-loss medications
editIn coverage of GLP-1 medications such as semaglutide, Moinuddin has described aesthetic side effects including facial volume loss, skin laxity, and hair thinning. She has suggested collagen-stimulating devices, retinoic acid, peptide-based topical products, and red-light therapy for hair regrowth as supportive treatments.[11]
Publications
editMoinuddin co-authored a 2020 study in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal evaluating outcomes from multimodal facial rejuvenation procedures.[12] She has also been cited in Dermatology Times and Medical World News for commentary on aesthetics industry growth and practice management technology.[13][14]
Community involvement
editMoinuddin is a member of the Development Board of PAWS Chicago, a nonprofit animal welfare organization, and has participated in its annual Fur Ball fundraiser.[15]
