hi, I’m

With over twenty years in plastic surgery and aesthetic medicine, I bring both expertise and compassion to my role as an Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner. I believe beauty is deeply personal, and my goal is to provide thoughtful, science-backed treatments that highlight what makes you uniquely you. Aging gracefully takes many forms, and I’m here to help you feel confident and radiant at every stage.

Just as every flower blooms differently, graceful aging is a personal journey, and my mission is to help you “bloom where you are planted.” Together, let’s curate something beautiful.

FAQs

  • Results from neuromodulators like Botox® and Dysport® typically last 3–4 months. You’ll begin to notice changes within 3–7 days, with peak effectiveness between 10–14 days, and full effect within 2–4 weeks. Individual results may vary depending on dosage, treatment area, and your metabolism.

  • Dermal fillers generally last 6–18 months, depending on the type of filler, the area treated, and your individual response.

  • Bruising is always possible with injectables. While it is less common with neuromodulators, fillers and biostimulators may carry a higher chance. To help minimize bruising, avoid blood thinners and alcohol prior to treatment, and consider arnica or pineapple. Always check with your prescribing doctor before stopping or adding any medications or supplements.

  • Appointment length depends on the treatment, but most range from 30 minutes to 1.5 hours. Time is also allotted for comfort measures such as numbing. Procedures are never rushed — your experience is always personalized.

  • Each treatment plan is customized, so costs vary. Pricing is always discussed during your consultation, and treatments can be staged over time to align with your goals and budget.

  • Most treatments involve minimal discomfort. Botox®/Dysport® feels like a quick pinch with a tiny needle. Fillers are often performed with a cannula to reduce discomfort and bruising, while lip injections may require a small dental block with lidocaine. Topical numbing cream and ice are always available to ensure your comfort.
