My little boy just finished a half marathon 2 weeks after his first full marathon. 🤯

“ I can’t stop looking at my face… I would do it again.”

That is exactly what every physician hopes to hear.

This video was recorded 3 weeks after UltraClear Laser-Coring.
No facelift. No cheek fillers.

Just the skin’s own regenerative response.

After treating 200+ patients with the UltraClear laser, what continues to amaze me is how powerful true skin remodeling can be when the right technology meets the right patient.

This patient was so excited about her results that she wanted to share her experience on video.

Real patient.
Real reaction.
Real result.

A quick selfie from a patient who traveled from out of state for her treatment.

She just completed her UltraClear Laser treatment by Dr. Shanthala — no numbing, no downtime, and in and out of the office. Now she’s excited to watch the improvement unfold over the coming weeks.

She’s also looking forward to supporting her skin with skincare, especially the anti-inflammatory formulas that help calm the skin and support healthy healing.

Thank you for sharing this video and for trusting our practice with your care.

Spring is just beginning — there is still time to refresh your skin before summer.

Lunch at and suddenly Boston feels a little like Paris. 🇫🇷

Just four weeks after returning from Paris, the nostalgia is already creeping back.

Growing up a strict vegetarian, my culinary education was… limited. I still remember the day I ordered something in a restaurant and suddenly thought, “Wait a second… this is not goat… this is escargot!” 😅

Let’s just say that was a very memorable introduction to French cuisine.

Thirty years later, after traveling around the world and exploring so many different cuisines, food has become one of my greatest joys. What fascinates me most is how every region has its own flavors, traditions, and secrets.

And every time I taste something wonderful, my mind immediately goes to the same place:
How can I recreate this at home?

For now, I’m enjoying this little Parisian moment in Boston… but I have a feeling Paris will be calling again soon😍

Thank you for your kind words and for trusting this practice once again with your care. Traveling such a long distance for treatment is never taken lightly, and it means a great deal that you returned for another UltraClear laser session.

Careful evaluation, honest guidance, and being available throughout the healing process are essential parts of every treatment. It is truly gratifying to know that your experience reflected that commitment.

Thank you again for making the trip and for sharing your experience. Wishing you continued healing and beautiful results.
Sincerely
Dr.Shanthala
ShanthalaMD Laser and Aesthetic Center

I came from Canada for the second Time to have another treatment with the Ultra clear laser by Dr. Shantala. As usual, she was very professional and took the Time to assess my treatment needs. Afterward, she was always available if I had any questions. I am very satisfied with the care I received and I highly recommend Dr. Shantala. She’s worth the trip.

A true gem!

“Perfectly symmetrical faces created by mirror imaging are not consistently judged as more attractive than natural faces...
03/09/2026

“Perfectly symmetrical faces created by mirror imaging are not consistently judged as more attractive than natural faces.” — Perrett et al., Nature, 1994.

In 2014 I opened my aesthetic practice. Around that time I took a standardized photograph of my own face—before any toxin, filler, or laser. I split the photo into left+left and right+right. Three completely different faces appeared.

#1 Do we really want perfect symmetry?
Try the experiment yourself. Take a photo, split it down the middle, and create a left+left and right+right face. Most people discover something surprising: the perfectly symmetrical versions often look less natural than the original.

#2 What do we actually see when we analyze faces?
One eyebrow higher, one eye slightly different, one cheek fuller, one jawline stronger, lip corners different, nasolabial folds and marionette lines different. Even nostrils and earlobes are rarely identical. Human faces are naturally asymmetrical.

#3 Why is symmetry so difficult to create?
Because underneath the skin everything differs: bone structure, muscle activity, fat compartments, and skin thickness. One side of the face may age differently due to sleeping position, muscle dominance, or sun exposure while driving.

#4 What can non-surgical treatments really do?
Botox, fillers, and energy-based treatments can improve balance. Sometimes one side is treated slightly differently from the other. But these procedures refine harmony—they cannot create perfect symmetry.

#5 What happens with aging and major weight loss?
As we age, fat shifts, skin loosens, and bone remodeling occurs. Rapid weight loss—especially with modern medications—can exaggerate asymmetry because fat, muscle, and support structures change unevenly.

6 Why are baseline photographs essential?
Because you must know what the face looked like before any treatment. Selfies do not count. Standardized photos taken in the same room, same lighting, and same position are the only reliable reference.

Final thought: perfect symmetry belongs to mathematics. Human beauty is about balance and harmony.

Thank you 🙏
My face was in desperate need of a refresh; my skin was sun-damaged, wrinkled, dull, and sagging. I traveled from out of state for the Ultra Clear laser treatment on my face and neck with Dr. Shanthala two weeks ago, and today, I can’t stop looking at myself in the mirror. The results are truly amazing!

My lines are softened—some are even completely gone—and my skin looks radiant, refreshed, and much tighter. I am so glad I chose to work with a licensed, highly trained medical doctor. Dr. Shanthala impressed me so much during our initial consultation with her expertise and integrity that I decided to look no further for a provider.

She is kind, caring, and completely honest about which treatments would work for my skin and which wouldn't. I respected her assessment immediately and booked my treatment. She recommended the latest, innovative fractional ablative laser for my skin's condition and I am convinced it was the right choice. While the procedure involves some discomfort, her bedside manner supported me through it and then from that day, right to today, her communication has been ongoing; she is incredibly invested in my healing, and responsive to every question or concern I have.

I am truly thrilled with the results on my face and neck. Every day the skin looks better, and Dr. Shanthala assured me this progress will continue as I further heal.

If you want to do the right thing for your skin, meet with Dr. Shanthala. She has years of experience and is acutely up to date with all the latest treatments and procedures. Her office is state of the art and pristine. She will make you very happy—I certainly am! It feels wonderful to start to have my confidence back, even without makeup. I am loving my reflection again!

In less than 30 days, I’ll be in Texas for one of the most respected global gatherings in aesthetic surgery and medicine

This is where true pioneers .rohrich convene — surgeons whose work, techniques, and decades of experience have shaped modern cosmetic surgery as we know it. The opportunity to learn directly from leaders of that caliber is both humbling and inspiring.

The program spans the full depth of our field:

Advanced anatomy and dissection.
Precision injectables.
Laser science and energy-based innovation.
Skin tightening technologies.
Surgical and non-surgical excellence.

After 12 years in practice, one truth remains clear: medicine demands lifelong learning. No matter how much experience one gains, there is always refinement, always evolution, always another level of mastery.

That is what makes meetings like this so meaningful.

Grateful to remain a student of this craft.
Excited to learn.
Looking forward to connecting with colleagues from around the world.

Texas may offer warmer weather —
but the real warmth will be in the exchange of knowledge

Excessive sweating, also called hyperhidrosis, can be very stressful — especially when it affects your hands, underarms, or feet and interferes with work or social interactions. The first step is always a proper medical evaluation to make sure there is no underlying cause. If it is primary hyperhidrosis, neurotoxin treatment is a safe and effective solution. For the hands, the area is carefully numbed for comfort, ice is applied, and then small, precise injections are placed just under the skin to block the nerve signals that trigger sweat glands. The procedure is quick, results begin within a few days, and dryness can last several months. If you are struggling with excessive sweating, there is a solution available.
