About Shay Shay Moinuddin MHA, RN, CANS

Shay Moinuddin is a Certified Aesthetic Nurse Specialist and clinical director of the skin clinic at The Few Institute for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery in Chicago. With more than 15 years of experience in aesthetic medicine, Shay specializes in non-surgical cosmetic treatments including injectable neuromodulators, dermal fillers, laser technologies, and advanced skin rejuvenation procedures.

Shay has worked alongside board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Julius Few since 2008 and plays an integral role in both the clinical and operational leadership of the practice.

In addition to treating patients, she manages the daily operations of The Few Institute Skin Clinic and the AAAASF-accredited surgical suite.

She has extensive training administering all FDA-approved dermal fillers and neurotoxins and holds the Physician Extender designation as well as certification as a Certified Aesthetic Nurse Specialist (CANS), one of the highest credentials for aesthetic nurses specializing in minimally invasive cosmetic procedures.

Philosophy

Shay’s philosophy centers on achieving natural, balanced results that enhance a patient’s existing features. She takes time to understand each patient’s concerns and develops individualized treatment plans designed to improve skin health and overall facial harmony.

Combining clinical expertise with an artistic eye for facial aesthetics, Shay focuses on subtle improvements that help patients look refreshed and confident rather than dramatically altered. Her approach emphasizes safety, thoughtful treatment planning, and the use of advanced technologies to deliver consistent, long-lasting results.

Shay’s Specialty

Shay’s specialty is the Stackable Treatment® approach, where she works alongside Dr. Julius Few to combine non-invasive and minimally invasive procedures that deliver comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

By strategically layering treatments such as injectables, laser technologies, and skin tightening procedures, multiple aesthetic modalities can be used together to improve skin quality, restore volume, and address early signs of aging.

Having collaborated with Dr. Few for more than a decade, Shay has helped refine this approach to safely combine treatments and produce natural-looking anti-aging outcomes. These procedures are typically performed in the AAAASF-accredited clinical setting of The Few Institute and require little to no anesthesia.
