Candace Reusch MSN, APRN, FNP-C, Owner

Candace Reusch

Candace Reusch is a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and the owner of ZG Aesthetics Wellness and Dermatology, serving patients throughout Northern Kentucky and the greater Cincinnati area. Known for her personalized approach and commitment to natural-looking results, Candace combines advanced clinical training with a deep passion for helping patients feel confident in their appearance and overall well-being.

Born in San Bernardino, California, Candace was raised in Florence, Kentucky, where she developed a strong appreciation for both science and the outdoors. Growing up on a large rural property, she spent much of her time outside and later participated in competitive cheerleading during high school.

Her interest in healthcare began early and was shaped by personal experience. While helping care for her mother during health challenges, Candace saw firsthand the impact compassionate, skilled care can have on a person’s life. That experience solidified her path toward a career in medicine—one focused on improving how people feel, both physically and emotionally.

Today, Candace brings that same perspective to her work in aesthetic medicine—prioritizing safety, education, and individualized treatment plans that align with each patient’s goals.

Treatments Performed:

At 17, Candace moved to Lexington, Kentucky to begin her undergraduate studies at the University of Kentucky. She earned an associate degree in science before completing her Bachelor of Science in Nursing at Eastern Kentucky University.

She began her clinical career at the University of Kentucky Hospital, working in the Neurosurgical Intensive Care Unit. In this high-acuity environment, Candace cared for critically ill patients, including those with traumatic brain injuries—developing advanced critical thinking skills, precision, and a deep commitment to patient safety.

While the experience shaped her clinical foundation, Candace recognized the emotional demands of long-term ICU care and began exploring a path where she could help patients in a more proactive, confidence-building way.

Her introduction to aesthetics came while living in Kentucky, where she became fascinated by the immediate impact of treatments that helped people feel more confident in their appearance. She pursued advanced training in aesthetic services and began building a client base, combining her medical expertise with a growing passion for aesthetics.

That path led to the founding of ZG Aesthetics Wellness and Dermatology in 2016. What began as a focused aesthetic practice quickly evolved into a full-service medical spa in Crestview Hills, Kentucky—offering advanced treatments, medical-grade skincare, and a comprehensive approach to aesthetic and wellness care.

Under Candace’s leadership, the practice expanded rapidly, earning recognition as one of Northern Kentucky’s top med spas, including multiple “Best Med Spa” awards. She established a culture rooted in clinical excellence, safety, and continuous education—drawing directly from her ICU background.

Candace later earned her Master of Science in Nursing from Northern Kentucky University, becoming a Nurse Practitioner and expanding the practice to include a broader focus on wellness, primary care, and dermatology services.

Today, she is known for delivering natural, balanced results and for creating a patient experience centered on trust, education, and individualized care.

Outside of the practice, Candace enjoys spending time on the water with her husband, family, and pets. She frequently visits Lake Cumberland in Kentucky and Norris Lake in Tennessee, where she recharges and enjoys time with loved ones.
