The founder

About the Founder

Jennifer Hartley has built her career by choosing the harder path. For more than two decades, she has pursued mastery in medicine, beginning in the high-stakes world of critical care, where precision is expected, preparation is essential, and the consequences of complacency are real. Those years shaped the clinician and leader she would become, instilling a profound respect for patient safety, sound judgment, and the responsibility that comes with being trusted to lead.

Her path has been defined by an unwavering pursuit of excellence. Graduating at the top of her class from both Loma Linda University and Vanderbilt University, Jennifer went on to serve as Medical Director for critical care teams and her aesthetic practice, Skin Synthesis. As her career evolved into aesthetic medicine, she brought with her a perspective that challenged the specialty to think more deeply about safety, education, and accountability.

Never content to simply participate in the advancement of the specialty, Jennifer has helped create it. She developed one of the first and only Vascular Occlusion Simulation Lab courses, bringing immersive, hands-on complication training to aesthetic professionals. She is a nationally recognized speaker and educator, a top Allergan trainer, and teaches patient safety and advocacy at Allergan Medical Institute training centers across the country.

Her commitment to raising standards became tangible with the founding of Skin Synthesis, the world's first Quad A accredited medspa. It was not simply an achievement. It was a statement about what is possible when excellence is treated as a responsibility rather than an aspiration.

Today, Jennifer continues to teach, train, and challenge the people around her to think bigger. Devrim is the next expression of that work: a place built from experience, conviction, and a belief that the future of aesthetic medicine deserves leaders willing to ask more of themselves.

And outside the lecture hall and treatment room, Jennifer is a world traveler, devoted plant lover, unapologetic caffeine addict, and passionate connoisseur of a truly exceptional day spa.
