My credentials and advanced training for cosmetic and para‑medical procedures assures my clients the most advanced techniques available are implemented. I have developed a great eye for detail and symmetry due to my extensive surgical background which consists of Browlift, Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), Rhinoplasty (nasal surgery), lip & chin augmentation, and all aspects of breast surgery. I also assisted in the skin care, wound care and post operative care of those patients. My experience has trained me in the anatomy of the skin, scar formation, proper placement of tissue over bone structure, and breast anatomy.

As a Permanent Cosmetic/Para‑medical practitioner, my attention to detail with reference to the clients skin and bone structure, enables me to design the perfect eyebrow, eyeliner, lip liner, areola and scar camouflage for each individual. I employ the highest standards of client safety through hospital‑grade disinfection and sterilization, and use state of the art equipment and pigments to provide safe and natural results. Clients feel comfortable and relaxed, and receive my personal attention and follow‑up care.

I consistently strive for perfection and I focus on my clients’ features to enhance and balance them, not overpower them, to achieve a beautiful, natural artistic transformation. This is truly a wonderful industry and I am proud to be a part of it.

As a Skin Care Specialist, I strive to offer my clients personalized skin care utilizing non‑invasive procedures that are designed to restore and maintain a fresh, youthful appearance. I care about the appearance and overall health of my clients’ skin. Teaching clients how to properly care for their skin at home enhances and maintains the results considerably.

I invite you in for a complimentary consultation, at which time a thorough skin analyze is conducted to identify your specific needs. A clinical treatment protocol, which may include chemical peels and/or microdermabrasion, and a home care regimen, will be formulated to get you looking your best. You may indulge in other modalities such as Botox Cosmetic, Restylane and Radiesse filler simultaneously to enhance and rejuvenate your face. Medical European Facials are offered and are the recommended precursor (or stepping stone) to all facial treatments and surgery such as facelift, eyelid and/or brow lift. My mission is to restore and maintain your fresh, youthful appearance using the finest skin care products and non‑invasive facial treatments.
