Before + After 5 sessions of V-beam laser with our PA Team✨👏

Poikiloderma develops from long term sun damage that affects both the blood vessels and pigment producing cells within the skin. Over time, ultraviolet exposure leads to dilation of superficial vessels, uneven pigmentation, and gradual thinning of the skin.

By improving redness in the area we can achieve a more even skin tone to the neck and chest, greatly reducing the appearance of Poikiloderma.

In this guide, we explore options for rosacea, including laser treatments, lifestyle modifications, and gentle skincare routines.

Before and 18 months later🤍 For this patient, I used a combination of neuromodulators, HA fillers, and biostimulators.

The goal was to restore structural support, smooth fine lines, soften transition zones, and enhance overall skin quality.

We took a slow and steady approach to allow for subtle, progressive improvement. I’m so happy with this beautiful, refreshed result!

Hands are often one of the first places where aging changes quietly appear, yet they are easy to overlook.

Ever wondered about the difference between a needle and a cannula? It’s likely you’ll find us using both during your injectables session depending on the area and goal.

Needles are stiff, short and have a sharp tip. They allow for very precise placement, often along bone or more superficially in the skin. Needles are great for injecting small aliquots or thin strands of product.
�Cannulas are long, flexible and blunt tipped, making them helpful for treating larger areas with fewer entry points. This is optimal for injecting longer strands of product. Cannuals are preferred in highly vascular areas for their ability to displace blood vessels rather than pass through them, in turn reducing bruising and vascular risk.

A full circle moment! In 2022, I began work as Principal Investigator for the Saypha filler clinical trial. Fast forward to 2025, I had the honor of visiting the manufacturing facility in Vienna and seeing the process firsthand. Now, it has officially made its way to the shelf!

It is always an honor to be recognized as a Castle Connolly Top Doctor. The 2026 Top Doctors list was released today, and I am truly grateful to be included.

With more than 1.1 million physicians in the United States, Castle Connolly recognizes just 7% as Top Doctors. This distinction is peer nominated and vetted by a physician led research team, meaning it has to be earned - not bought.

I am continually thankful to be able to do what I love. As my dad always said, “Make your vocation your avocation and you will never have to go to work.” How true that is.
