Q&A
Favorite treatment? Filler is liquid gold! From giving the lips a boost to defining the cheeks and jaw, it's my favorite facial balancing tool. I love to surprise patients and let them know exactly how I've used filler myself!
Favorite products? Vitality Dream Cream, because I put my heart and soul into it! It benefits everyone's skin - literally, and is so well tolerated. It's a ceramide-rich moisture cream that has been a HUGE help to my dry skin! Line Refine Serum is a top favorite of mine as well because it's such a nourishing answer to retinoids! Lately, I've become a huge fan of Skinbetter's Detox Scrub mask, it's gentle enough to give me the perfect exfoliation!
Biggest vice? Binge-worthy reality shows, but not the new ones. I'm talking about the 2001 season of Amazing Race or the original Survivor. Hint: check Hulu.

FAVORITE Treatment?
Hydrafacial truly is my favorite treatment and has been for several years now because it never fails to deliver! It leaves your complexion squeaky clean like no other while restoring balance and hydration. Like pressing a reset button! Who doesn’t love that?
FAVORITE PRODUCTS?
Hands down, sunscreen will always be at the top of my list. Living in sunny San Diego and forever fearful of the dreaded skin cancer, I am of course a giant fan of all things UV protective. Our Vitality Glowgetter is the perfect blend of skincare & SPF combined. It’s mineral. Not chemical. And it’s tinted for days you want to ditch the makeup but still have natural-looking coverage.
Another must-have is SkinBetter’s Detoxifying Scrub Mask. It has a scrub element for physical exfoliation. It has gentle acids for an even more thorough clearing of dead skin and oil. And then it has a clay to draw out impurities. All while not over-drying and disrupting the skin’s barrier. Basically 3 product types rolled up into one. Genius!
BIGGEST VICE?
Besides coffee and matcha? Cat naps…AKA beauty rest!

By sloughing off dead skin, removing vellus hair and prepping the skin for better product penetration and makeup application, it leaves the skin smooth and radiant. Plus, it pairs so well with other treatments!

Skinbetter Alpharet Overnight Cream! This powerhouse formula seamlessly blends the benefits of retinoid with AHA, providing a dynamic duo for your skin. It's enriched with ceramides for deep moisturization, AHAs for gentle exfoliation, peptides to combat wrinkles, niacinamide to reduce redness, and antioxidants for added protection.
