Allergan Medical Institute has just announced the inaugural AMI Training Center Faculty, and I’m honored to share that I will be serving as the Medical Director for the U.S. AMI Training Centers.

This initiative has been years in the making—and something I’ve personally poured countless hours into. From writing curriculum, to shaping clinical pathways, my focus has always been to help establish a new gold standard.

But this is more than a personal milestone—it’s a pivotal moment for aesthetic medicine. An ecosystem designed to elevate safety, outcomes, and long-term trust in our field.

I’m grateful to work alongside such an exceptional team of educators—each bringing a shared commitment to mentorship, patient safety, and clinical excellence.

▪️ For injectors, it means access to hands-on learning that builds real skill.
▪️ For patients, it means safer, more informed care.

The Training Centers will launch in Orange County on June 26, 2025.

From foundational injectable courses to immersive anatomy and safety modules, this is the kind of training our industry needs—and our patients deserve.

Facial Balancing: The Art of Subtle Restoration ✨

Swipe to see how a few small, strategic tweaks can create beautiful harmony and refreshed definition—without changing what makes you you.

Facial balancing is all about enhancing natural proportions using a custom, anatomy-based approach. In this case, we focused on restoring volume, softening shadows, and creating smoother transitions between key features of the face.

For this patient, I used:
🔹 Temple filler to restore upper face volume and frame the eyes
🔹 Under-eye filler to brighten and smooth the tear troughs
🔹 Cheek filler to support midface structure and lift
🔹 Pyriform filler to add support and prevent downward pull around the nose and mouth
🔹 Nasolabial fold filler to soften deep folds and restore balance to the lower face

The result? A more lifted, youthful, and balanced appearance—one that looks effortless, authentic, and true to the patient’s natural beauty.

When done right, facial balancing doesn’t look “done”—it just looks right. 💉

Reflecting on an Unforgettable Weekend at LA-MCA 2025! 💉

Honored to be part of an event that continues to push the boundaries of aesthetic medicine. From sharing insights on stage to connecting with some of the brightest minds in the field, last weekend was all about innovation, collaboration, and game-changing discussions.

Education and advancing the future of aesthetics is something I’m deeply passionate about—whether it’s refining techniques, exploring new modalities, or rethinking how we approach patient outcomes. 🙌🏼

The energy at was unmatched, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to reconnect with old friends and meet so many new ones.

Here’s to continued growth, learning, and setting new standards in aesthetic medicine.

Until next time, LA! ✌️

✨ Unlock Radiant Skin with Juvederm! ✨

Looking for that perfect holiday glow? is the secret to achieving a luminous complexion. Keep in mind, it takes about 10-14 days for the filler to fully settle and any bruising/swelling to subside, so plan your treatments accordingly.
