Jen Galloway FNP-C adds Nurse Practitioner to local team"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>What\u2019s in a face? What\u2019s in a smile? Those are questions that Jen Galloway has spent a career asking, and as she continues to ponder them, she\u2019s built a team to help her find the answers.<\/p>\n<p>Jen Galloway FNP-C recently welcomed Shawn Snyder DNP, FNP-NPC, to work alongside herself and her existing nurse injector, Kara Turner, BSN, RN.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Turner and Synder came to the practice with years of experience in medical aesthetics and with a desire to further Galloway\u2019s mission of health and happiness for Casper patients.<\/p>\n<p>Snyder graduated with his doctorate of nursing from the University of Wyoming in 2015. He practiced for five years in primary care and urgent care but then, he says, he wanted to try something different. That\u2019s what led to his current specialty: aesthetics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI guess for me, because I do hormone optimization, weight loss and aesthetic treatments, they way I look at the services that I offer is that I just want people to, number one, have confidence,\u201d Snyder said. \u201cI want them to have confidence and feel good, inside and out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Turner agrees. She has been a nurse for more than 24 years, working in a family practice for years before leaving \u201cto be a mom.\u201d She raised her family for close to 14 years before returning to the world of medicine, where she began working for a dermatology practice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s actually how I met Jen,\u201d Turner shared. \u201cShe was doing aesthetics part-time and she mentored me quite a bit. And then, when she left to go to school to be a nurse practitioner, I was fortunate enough to get her former position. That was in 2019 or 2020 and I\u2019ve been in aesthetics ever since.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Galloway said that when she first opened her practice, she knew she wanted to bring Turner in as soon as possible. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy initial thought, when I first opened my practice, was that I would have time to do both things, medical and aesthetics,\u201d Galloway shared. \u201cIt quickly became obvious that that wasn\u2019t going to happen. So I had the opportunity to bring Kara on because, like she said, we\u2019d worked together and I knew she was a great injector.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Galloway said that she\u2019s worked in aesthetics for many years, so it\u2019s always held a special place in her heart.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s why I enjoyed doing it and why I wanted to continue to do it,\u201d Galloway said. \u201cAnd then I had the opportunity to have Kara come and work for me. And that was an easy decision to make.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>When Galloway made the decision to combine her love for medicine with her love for aesthetics, she knew she needed a team that cared about both of those things just as much as she did. She found that team with Snyder and Turner. Aesthetics are a form of medicinal therapy and they deserve to be treated as such. The world of aesthetics is so much more than \u201cnip, cut, fill, inject.\u201d There\u2019s so much science to the practice, and Galloway knew she needed individuals who took that science seriously.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"585\" data-attachment-id=\"360521\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/oilcity.news\/promoted\/2025\/11\/20\/whats-in-a-smile-jen-galloway-fnp-c-adds-nurse-practitioner-to-local-team\/attachment\/thumbnail_img_1086\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/oilcity.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/thumbnail_IMG_1086.jpg?fit=1920%2C1440&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1920,1440\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"thumbnail_IMG_1086\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/oilcity.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/thumbnail_IMG_1086.jpg?fit=300%2C225&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/oilcity.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/thumbnail_IMG_1086.jpg?fit=780%2C585&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/thumbnail_IMG_1086.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-360521\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn medical aesthetics, a lot of our treatments are rooted in science and artistry,\u201d Turner said. \u201cAnd it really does help people gain a little bit of confidence when they feel refreshed. They still look like themselves, but they\u2019re more confident in their skin. Whether it\u2019s for an event \u2014 a lot of times people just come in for weddings or the holiday season \u2014 or people that come relatively continually to do the anti-aging practice and stay on top of the fine lines and wrinkles, we\u2019re here for all of them and we take it seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jen Galloway FNP-C offers a variety of services, including Botox and Dermal Filler, Jeuveau, various types of skin care, and more.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/jengallowayhealth.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">According to Galloway\u2019s website<\/a>, \u201cBotox and Jeuveau are FDA-approved neuromodulators injectable products that cause temporary paralysis of the muscle. This prevents contraction of the facial muscles to help correct and prevent lines and wrinkles. Just about any area on the face can be treated including between the brows, forehead, and crow\u2019s feet around the eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The products offered can treat upper lips, \u201clip flips,\u201d chin dimplings, and neck lines. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe result is a youthful, smoother and more refreshed look,\u201d the website boasts. \u201cWe provide subtle, natural results so you look like a refreshed version of yourself!\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Similarly, Dermal fillers \u201care FDA-approved injectable products that are designed to correct age-related volume loss. Areas that can be treated include the lips and lip lines, cheeks, chin, under eyes, and jawline. Whether you are looking to add volume, restore volume, or contour and shape, we have the training and experience to provide natural looking and long-lasting results. We offer all the Juv\u00e9derm products to give clients the results they want.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The most common misconception when it comes to these types of services are that they are done simply for vanity\u2019s sake. This couldn\u2019t be further from the truth. The majority of patients who undergo these services simply want to feel refreshed. They want to feel good in their own skin. They want to feel confident. Botox and Dermal Fillers are simple ways to help people feel better about who they are and how they look. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe most common complaint we get is that people feel like they look tired,\u201d Galloway said. \u201cThey want to feel refreshed and they want to look refreshed and that\u2019s something that we can help people with. With Botox, you\u2019re doing it for your fine lines and your wrinkles, to prevent deep lines. And then, with your Dermal Fillers, they\u2019re hyaluronic acid-based and they help with volume loss, structure support and kind of lifting everything back up that gravity and aging takes down.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s so much beauty and intricacy involved in the world of aesthetics, and it was important for Galloway to hire actual nurse practitioners or registered nurses who understand the health benefits and the risks that go along with these procedures.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think when people see things on social media, it\u2019s usually the negative aspects of what Botox and Fillers can do,\u201d Turner said. \u201cThose are usually things that are overfilled or injections that aren\u2019t put in the right plane of tissue, so you have unnatural movements and unnatural looks. That\u2019s definitely something we prevent here. The three of us, we don\u2019t have any problem saying \u2018no\u2019 to patients regarding treatments. We will not overtreat somebody, which I think is really important. A lot of practitioners will just tell patients what they want to hear, versus a practitioner guiding the service and offering the appropriate treatment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Galloway, Turner, and Snyder absolutely guide the service and they trust the science. They understand what goes where and how much needs to go there. They\u2019re not trying to get as many patients as they can in order to meet a quota or make a set amount of money. They care about each patient individually and they understand that each individual\u2019s treatment is different, unique, special.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe feel like the best treatment is one that goes mostly unnoticed,\u201d Galloway said. \u201cWhen when you leave here, we don\u2019t want people to be like, \u2018Oh,  you just had a bunch of filler put in your face.\u2019 We want patients to feel better about themselves and we understand that less is more.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s a principle that Galloway has followed throughout the majority of her career, and it\u2019s one that she applies to all aspects of her practice. Less is more. She won\u2019t provide prescriptions just to provide them. She takes a holistic approach to health, wellness, and weight and she treats the body as an entire system, each built with its own intricacies and capabilities. Each person, each body, each face is different and sacred, and that\u2019s something she has imparted on her team more than maybe anything else.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJen really focuses on wellness,\u201d Snyder offered. \u201cAnd wellness isn\u2019t just physical wellness; it\u2019s inside wellness and outside wellness. So when you feel good on the inside, you\u2019re going to feel good on the outside. That\u2019s mental wellbeing, and those things trickle down and translate to all kinds of different things, whether it\u2019s feeling more confident dating, feeling more confident in a job interview. A lot of times I have patients who work on Zoom and they want to feel more comfortable being on camera. It\u2019s really cool to see that boost of confidence and how that translates to a personal and professional life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When patients walk into Galloway\u2019s practice, each member of the team wants them to feel like they are a priority, like they\u2019re not just a number \u201cor a dart on a dart board, or a voodoo doll.\u201d They understand the importance of individualized treatment and, more than anything, they understand the importance of safety.<\/p>\n<p>Part of ensuring that safety is the fact that Galloway, as the practice\u2019s medical director, is on site at all times. If things go wrong \u2014 and, Galloway stresses, sometimes things do go wrong \u2014 they have plans and procedures in place to ensure that a patient is treated safely and carefully.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know if people realize that with, say, dermal fillers, you can have an emergency,\u201d Galloway admitted. \u201cThere are arteries involved and if you accidently hit one, does your injector know how to treat that and is there a medical director on site to help them with complications? Those things are important, and that\u2019s why Kara is so important to the practice as well, because she\u2019s constantly staying up to date on her rules and regulations through the Wyoming State Board of Nursing. I think it\u2019s important for patients to know, when they\u2019re trying to find an injector, whether they\u2019ve done their training. Do they know what to do if there\u2019s a problem? Is there a medical director on site?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Galloway and her team know what to do and, whenever a procedure is being performed, Galloway is on site the entire time. Turner and Snyder use the utmost care when performing their procedures, but if an accident does happen, Galloway is there at all times.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat kind of goes back to our training, too,\u201d Snyder said. \u201cA large portion of our training is not only understanding how to best use these products, what they\u2019re intended for, etc., but also complication avoidance and complication management. Like, it\u2019s great to know what they\u2019re used for and where to put them, but what happens if something goes wrong? You really need to understand how to manage it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Galloway\u2019s team also works closely with other providers when needed, ensuring a smooth transition when one is needed. They don\u2019t view other medically based\u00a0aesthetics and wellness practices as competition; they believe they\u2019re all on the same team \u2014 a team designed to make Casper patients look and feel their best. That\u2019s what all three of these providers have built their careers on, and built their reputations on. Individually, they\u2019ve built impressive names for themselves in a variety of medical-related fields. But together? Together they have the opportunity to give Casper residents a true gift. They can give them their smile back.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want my patients to walk away feeling like they were listened to, that their concerns were validated,\u201d Galloway said. \u201cI want to know that they trust me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Snyder agreed. Each and every day, he instills that trust with each patient he sees and each procedure he performs.<\/p>\n<p>Turner shares the beliefs of both Galloway and Snyder. She wants her patients, their patients, to trust her and to trust their team, and she wants them to walk away from an appointment feeling better than how they walked into it. She said a big reason that can happen is because of the team Galloway has built, and the way they all work together.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll of us take a lot of pride in being able to provide our Casper community with exceptional healthcare in wellness and aesthetics,\u201d Turner said. \u201cIt\u2019s all rooted in education, experience, and safety. I always say \u2018speak less and listen more.\u2019 And that\u2019s what we try to do, every single day.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>PAID FOR BY JEN GALLOWAY FNP-C<br \/>This article is a promoted post.
