Arlene Milam, MSN FNP-BC
Aesthetic Nurse Specialist
With a deep passion for helping people feel better and lead happier lives, Arlene loves coming into work every day, knowing she will be making a positive difference. Born in Alexandria, Virginia, Arlene graduated from Pennsylvania State University with her BSN. She has enjoyed a thriving career in nursing for over eighteen years.
Arlene spent the early part of her career in Oncology until finding her true passion in Aesthetic Medicine. Trained by some of the best in the industry, Arlene notes the following for much of her advanced training:
Choon Kia Yeo, MD, Alexander Rivken, MD, Steven Yolin, MD, Deborah Sherman, MD, Lori Robertson, MSN, FNP-C, Inna Propenko, RN and Cameron Chestnut, MD.
Arlene enjoys educating patients on aesthetic medicine and explaining what each product can do to help enhance and maintain your natural beauty. Arlene has found that with the years of experience working in Oncology, she brings a gentle touch, compassion, and care to each patient experience. Knowing this is an ever-changing field, Arlene takes ongoing education seriously and makes a point to invest in herself. She is passionate about keeping up with the newest products, techniques, and technology to always provide her patients with the best care and outcome. Arlene notes Neuromodulators such as Botox and Dysport as her go-to treatment. She says, “I love what they can do; it is so much more than softening wrinkles. This treatment can provide a lift; it can accentuate a feature; it can provide relief from pain, address hyperhidrosis, relax a gummy smile. It can be a positive life change for my patients.”
In her downtime, Arlene enjoys time with her family, exploring the island. Arlene has two amazing boys, one in High School and another serving in the United States Air Force. After Arlene’s husband decided to retire after 23 years in the United States Army, they have planted permanent roots in Hawaii. She enjoys spending time with her three dogs and two horses and is proud to report her youngest son has developed a love for riding alongside her.
Kate Sexton
practice Manager
I entered the healthcare and aesthetics industry serendipitously—but quickly discovered a deep passion for the transformative power of lasers, injectables, and advanced skincare treatments.
What began as a curiosity soon evolved into a full-fledged career, fueled by my natural ability to learn quickly, adapt to fast-paced environments, and take initiative in hands-on settings.
With a proven background managing high-performing medical spas, social wellness clubs, and plastic surgery practices across South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia, I've consistently applied my leadership skills to elevate patient care, streamline operations, and inspire team growth. My ability to quickly understand both the clinical and business sides of aesthetic medicine has accelerated my career and earned me the trust of both providers and patients alike.I’m thrilled to bring my passion and experience to Honolulu MedSpa. Being part of a community that values both inner and outer wellness feels like the perfect fit.
When I’m not at the spa, you’ll likely find me chasing sunsets, hiking Oʻahu’s scenic trails, or simply enjoying the peace of the island.
