From Nurse to Entrepreneur: Laser Fresh Aesthetics
First up is Julie Zweifel, whose pioneering work in laser tattoo removal was highlighted in TNB’s latest issue. Julie’s journey from nursing to becoming the owner of an aesthetic laser business is a testament to the power of passion and perseverance. After spending two years in the operating room, Julie rediscovered her love for nursing. However, she longed for a deeper connection with her patients beyond the confines of the OR.
Intrigued by the transformative potential of Astanza technology, Julie embarked on a new path by enrolling in Astanza’s training division, New Look Laser College, to get certified in laser tattoo removal. There, she honed her nursing skills, delved into the intricacies of laser tattoo removal, and ultimately ventured into entrepreneurship by launching her aesthetic business, Laser Fresh Aesthetics.
Today, Julie’s journey inspires aesthetic nurses and healthcare professionals seeking to explore alternative career paths and expand their horizons. Julie’s story exemplifies the transformative impact of seizing opportunities and following one’s passion, ultimately leading to professional fulfillment and success.

The Path to Laser Tattoo Removal Business Ownership: Laser180
Lexie Agostinone’s journey from a seasoned 13-year ICU nurse to the founder of a successful laser tattoo removal business all started when she stumbled upon the concept of starting her own business during an impromptu online search. Recognizing the potential for such a venture in her community, Lexie made the bold decision to transition into entrepreneurship, viewing it as the next logical step in her career trajectory.
Lexie’s research revealed a glaring gap in her local market – the absence of a dedicated tattoo removal service within reasonable proximity. As a nurse deeply committed to making a meaningful difference beyond the confines of the hospital bedside, Lexie saw the potential of Astanza technology as a vehicle to expand her impact and serve her community by providing a highly sought-after service.
Lexie’s extensive background in critical care nursing gave her a wealth of medical knowledge, critical thinking skills, and a profound understanding of patient care. With her entrepreneurial mindset and medical background, she started Laser180 alongside her sister and now runs a successful family-owned aesthetic laser business in Latrobe, Pennsylvania.
