Beauty is personal. Scientific literature agrees that appearance has far reaching impacts on confidence and sense of self. A great outcome requires a discerning eye, a gentle hand, and years of experience; injecting is a practice equal in art and science. Our primary focus is to truly understand you so that your reflection matches your unique essence. We emphasize facial proportion and balance while subtly restoring volume loss and naturally rejuvenating the face.
