Would you believe these photos were taken six years apart? For this patient, subtle and natural rejuvenation was achieved through consistent treatments with dermal fillers and neuromodulators.

In a world where “filler fear” is common, it’s important to remember the issue isn’t the filler itself, but how it’s used. When injectables are administered with skill, restraint, and an eye for harmony, the result isn’t an overdone look… it’s you, just a little more refreshed.

The FDA recently issued a safety communication about radiofrequency (RF) microneedling devices, citing risks like burns, scarring, and unwanted fat loss. But here’s what’s key:

The FDA isn’t saying the technology itself is unsafe or ineffective. It’s warning about the risks when these devices are used by individuals without proper training.

RF treatments can produce beautiful results, but only in the right hands. Anatomical knowledge, choosing the correct needle depth, and selecting appropriate energy settings are all crucial to a safe and effective treatment. More intensity doesn’t always mean better results. Sometimes, it just means more risk.

The bottom line: Any energy-based treatment (not just RF) carries some risk. The difference lies in the expertise of the provider.

Ask questions before you book:
Who is performing the treatment?
Are they medically trained and experienced?
Is there a qualified medical director on-site?
What are the safety protocols?

Energy-based devices can deliver great results, but outcomes depend largely on who is operating them. Do your research. Choose your provider wisely. If you are considering these treatments and have questions, give my office a call. We’re here to help.

One of the most rewarding parts of what I do is helping people feel more confident in their skin. This patient had a scar on her neck that she found bothersome. After just three sessions with the Fraxel Dual laser, we were able to achieve a beautiful softening.

Scars don’t always disappear completely, but with the right approach, they can blend more naturally into the surrounding skin.

Thank you to for including me in this article on a very timely topic!

As someone who’s been in this space for a long time, I’ve seen how the language around aesthetic treatments can evolve - and how the words we use may shape expectations in ways that aren’t always helpful.

In this article, we explore what a “liquid facelift” really means, and how facial balancing offers a more nuanced, individualized path.

✨ It’s not about overfilling - it’s about thoughtful enhancement.
✨ It’s not about chasing youth - it’s about restoring balance.
✨ And most importantly, it’s about choosing the right tools for the right goals - even when that means surgery.

If you’re curious about the difference between these approaches or just want to better understand your options, I think you’ll find this a valuable read.

Learn how to correct "Ozempic face" - the facial volume loss linked to rapid weight loss from GLP-1s.

The best results are the ones no one can quite put their finger on. You still look like you, just more refreshed. Think compliments like “You look so rested!” or “Did you just get back from vacation?”

This transformation was achieved by Dr. Ishii and our aesthetician team using a combination of injectable HA fillers, neuromodulators, gentle resurfacing lasers, and medical-grade skincare.

When I opened Aesthetic Solutions in 1998, I never could’ve imagined how far we’d come.

Today, we’re celebrating the two-year work anniversary of the incredibly talented Dr. Ishii.

In less than two weeks, Dr. Kamrani will join the team - returning home after an advanced fellowship training to practice in the town where she grew up.

I’m filled with gratitude as I reflect on this journey. From a small office to a thriving practice, it’s been more than I ever dreamed. I’m incredibly proud to stand alongside these two talented dermatologists - here’s to an even brighter future!
