Why The Injectory®

The Injectory® is a woman-owned small business. Our background before aesthetics, is in anesthesia.

The two primary injectors and our supervising physician are all anesthesia providers.

It is this background which makes THE INJECTORY® unique to our area. You, as our patient, receive personalized care because we understand the extent of how pharmacologically variant people can be. As Advanced Practice Nurses in Anesthesia (Master’s Degree, and board Certified Registered Nurse Anesthesiologist or CRNA), we can help you manage the anxiety that comes with having a procedure. With this background we have more experience in managing your anxiety and minimizing your pain and discomfort than most injectors. We have spent collectively over 50 years explaining risks, devising a plan with our patients, and managing risks calmly and safely. Although the risk with injectables is small, as anesthesia providers, we have spent our careers calmly managing stressful and critical situations daily. The importance of attention to detail in both professions of aesthetics and anesthesia is self-evident.

“Injecting Confidence” is our motto at THE INJECTORY®. Our own confidence comes from our personal experiences with injectables and other medical spa treatments, thanks to other talented injectors over the years. Sharing our ability with others so they receive the same boost of serotonin (a.k.a joy and confidence) is why we are here for you. You will stand taller, not edit the selfie, and be mesmerized by the change you see on your next video call. This is only accomplished by listening to your personal goals, devising a plan together, while utilizing our skills we’ve acquired over our decades in practice, to achieve the best version of you! We want to highlight your best features, and allow you to age gracefully for years to come. Whether this means a little more cheek definition, hydrated looking lips with a little pout, or smoother skin texture with a glow, we take the time to hear your goals and to explain our resources available to you.

Every product is chosen based on its proven exceptional results for clients by reviewing the evidence-based research and not on incentives by vendors.

Bobby-Jo Lutner

Owner, APRN Aesthetic Injector and CRNA

Bobby-Jo is a board-certified Nurse Anesthesiologist with almost 20 years in the medical field. She graduated from Binghamton University in 2006 with her BSN and worked as a Critical Care ICU RN before she moved to Virginia to attend Old Dominion University Anesthesia Program. She graduated with her MSN in anesthesia in 2009 and has lived in Chesapeake for over 10 years. She started receiving aesthetic injections in 2017, and noticed she’d smile a little brighter, have a twinkle in her eye or pout her lips a little more in pictures. The confidence she felt, she wanted to share. Then began her journey researching and training in aesthetics. She has received multiple certifications in aesthetics and continues to do more than the necessary research on products and technique. Bobby-Jo takes every opportunity for additional training to be successful in this field. Every client she works with, she genuinely desires for them to walk away feeling more confident and satisfied. She loves receiving your selfies exuding that confidence, and knowing she had a part in it. She is never hesitate to explain why she recommends a procedure or product, as she has spent excessive time not just understanding how, but why!

Bobby-Jo has been married for over 20 years and has twin daughters. She is a self proclaimed book nerd and proud of it , as she loves to read. She spends time with her family by her pool (with tons of SPF and a hat always!) or she can be found at the gym, working her two businesses, or with a glass of wine with friends.

Kayla Matthews

Nurse Injector

I graduated nursing school in January of 2017 and started working as a bedside nurse shortly after. I truly thrived in the fast paced and ever changing environment. I quickly moved up to charge nurse, preceptor, and eventually became a Nursing Supervisor all in under 2 years. After the initial wave of the Covid Pandemic I decided I needed to take a step back from the hospital setting. I’ve always enjoyed makeup and thought that could be a potential path for me. So, I started working with a local bridal makeup company on the weekends. After careful consideration I came to the conclusion that, although I LOVE makeup up and being able to share someone’s special day with them, I didn’t feel quite ready to give up my nursing license that I gave my blood, sweat, and tears for. So, I decided to combine my two passions  and that is when I discovered Aesthetic Nursing! Since working in aesthetics, I couldn’t imagine doing anything else. It’s the perfect combination of beauty and science. Art and medicine.   Aesthetics has allowed me to help my patients feel more confident about themselves in a more long term way. Everything I loved about bridal makeup, I’ve found ten fold in aesthetics. I truly appreciate the community and love getting the opportunity to collaborate with other providers in the industry. The aesthetics field is ever changing and I am committed to providing the best and most up to date procedures and products for my patients through continued education from experts in my field. I have spent countless hours training with companies such as Allergan, Galderma, Revanesse, Sciton, and Candela in addition to my own outside trainings in an effort to provide my patients with the best quality outcomes. While my goal is to provide my patients with the most natural results possible, I pride myself on being a great listener and advocate. Discussing my patients goals and expectations is crucial for me to be able provide an appropriate treatment plan. I will always prioritize that my patients and I are on the same page prior to any treatment. My hope is that you leave my chair feeling more beautiful and confident  than when you sat down, even if no treatments were involved.
