The heart of great skin care? Teamwork. 💙
Every exam, every glow-up, every patient success — it all happens because of this incredible crew.

Grateful for the people who make this work feel like purpose.

November is National Healthy Skin Month 💙 — the perfect time to share a little more about what I do and who I care for.

I see patients of all ages and skin types — from teens with acne and adults managing rosacea or melasma, to those looking for subtle, natural aesthetic treatments that help them feel like their best selves.

My goal is always the same: to protect, restore, and enhance your skin with care that blends science, safety, and soul.

Whether it’s skin checks, acne plans, or precision Botox — it all comes back to helping you feel confident in your own skin. 💫

Every treatment should serve a purpose — not a trend.

From my book Chasing Beauty, one of my proudest accomplishments, this book explores why responsible aesthetics will always matter.

✨ Ethics build long-term trust
✨ Education empowers patients
✨ Expertise ensures safety and results

Chasing Beauty isn’t just about appearance — it’s about integrity, intention, and the art of doing what’s right for every patient. 💙

November is National Healthy Skin Month 💙

So let’s start with one of the most important habits you can build — a skin check.

If you’ve ever wondered what actually happens when you come in for one, here’s a peek behind the scenes:
🩺 We review your medical and sun history
🔍 Examine every mole, spot, and freckle — from head to toe
🧴 Talk about prevention, protection, and next steps for healthy skin

It’s simple, thorough, and could save your life.

Because checking your skin is just as vital as checking your blood pressure.

What a wonderful weekend at the 2025 Global Aesthetics Conference being on the podium and panel— thoughtful discussions, meaningful collaboration, and time spent with inspiring colleagues.

Feeling grateful for this community and excited for what’s ahead. ✨

Happy Halloween! 🎃✨
Here's a little throwback photo 🧡

All that fun makeup deserves a little TLC afterward — don’t forget to give your skin a proper cleanse and reset tonight.

Trick: Scrubbing too hard or over-exfoliating can weaken your barrier.
Treat: Use a gentle cleanser, hydrate well, and protect with SPF tomorrow.

Your skin worked hard for that costume glow — treat it kindly. 💛

Botox should whisper, not shout. 💉✨

A few carefully placed units softened frown lines and lifted her overall expression — while keeping her completely her.

That’s the beauty of personalized dosing and expert technique: subtle, natural, refreshed. 💙

An inspiring day with Dr. Mauricio de Maio and the MD Codes™ team — world-class teaching and the kind of energy that keeps our field evolving. So grateful for this experience and for the mentees who are redefining excellence. 💉✨

Should you feel guilty for wanting to feel your best?

Absolutely not.

Caring about your appearance doesn’t make you shallow — it means you value confidence, health, and self-expression.

When done responsibly, aesthetics is about alignment: how you feel and how you see yourself finally match. 💫

Step by step… day by day 👣
The dream team that keeps our patients glowing and our clinic running with heart.

Grateful every day for this crew of dermatology rockstars! ✨

Thinking about your first Botox appointment? 💉✨
Here’s what I tell every first-timer:

1️⃣ Come with relaxed expectations — it’s about softening, not freezing.
2️⃣ Skip makeup before your visit (clean skin = best results).
3️⃣ Avoid alcohol, aspirin, or supplements that thin blood for 24 hrs.
4️⃣ Results take time — you’ll see the magic around day 5–14.
5️⃣ Most importantly: choose an injector who understands your anatomy and your goals.

Subtle. Safe. You — just refreshed. 💫
Save this for your appointment checklist!

From New York → back inspired. 💫

✨ Exciting innovations ahead! Had the opportunity to preview the new Halo Tribird Laser technology in New York — a next-generation approach combining three wavelengths for even more customizable skin rejuvenation.

Always grateful to stay at the forefront of science-backed advancements for my patients. 💙
