She Trains Injectors for Allergan and Galderma — Both

Allergan and Galderma are the Coke and Pepsi of injectables. Allergan makes Botox and Juvederm; Galderma makes Dysport and Restylane. They compete for the same chairs, and their national trainers — the experts each company sends to teach other injectors — almost always belong to one camp.

Erica Bedsted, the nurse practitioner who owns REFYNED Aesthetics in Fresno, trains at the national level for both. To carry that credential from two rivals at once, you have to be good enough that the competition can't afford not to use you.

Bedsted's path runs through CSU Fresno, where she earned a bachelor's and a master's, and through twenty-plus years in women's health and seventeen in aesthetics. Her collaborating physician, Dr. Danielle Malvini, was chief resident at UCSF Fresno. The practice runs the serious equipment — Sciton BBL HEROic, PRF, the full filler portfolio — but the equipment is never the story. The hands are.

REFYNED is Aura Screened, which means it cleared the public-record checks before any of the above mattered. The training credential is why it is worth a profile and not just a listing.

When you are vetting an injector, "national trainer" is one of the strongest signals there is — it means peers, not patients, judged the work and trusted it enough to learn from. Two companies' worth of that signal is rarer still. If you are in the Central Valley and weighing where to go, this is a name to read closely.
