Skin Care Regimen
My approach to your customized skin care
Everyone’s skin is unique.
A wide range of factors, including age, lifestyle, genetics, and hormones, can affect your skin’s overall health. Anna follows the approach to skincare created by Dr. Zein Obagi-creator of ZO® Skin Health. Dr. Obagi’s goal is to help you achieve naturally smooth, even-toned, hydrated, and firm “baby skin.”
More than a random assortment of OTC powders and creams, ZO® Skin Health offers a range of highly formulated, prescription-strength topical agents designed to work together to improve the health and appearance of skin.
Please note that due to the nature of medical-grade skincare products, we do not accept any returns or exchanges.
Botox®, Dysport® or Xeomin®
Diminish wrinkles and smooth and soften lines
Neurotoxins work by temporarily relaxing facial muscles and easing the muscle tension that causes fine lines and wrinkles.
Laugh lines, smile lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet – call them what you will, these fine lines and wrinkles are caused by repetitive facial muscle movements. Smoking, sun damage, and genetics further contribute to these early signs of aging. Over time, these lines become deep creases and wrinkles, prematurely aging your appearance.
Dermal Fillers
Restore your skin’s natural fullness and youthfulness
Dermal fillers (Juvederm®, Restylane®, RHA®, Versa®, Belotero®) are injectable hyaluronic acid solutions that provides fullness to lips, enhance cheek volume, smooth out lines, and contour the face. Fillers help draw moisture into the skin’s tissues by plumping and easing out wrinkles in the skin. We customize the appropriate amount and solution for you, depending on the area needing rejuvenation.
Radiesse ® Biostimulator + Filler
Radiesse is one of my most popular treatments
This FDA-approved calcium hydroxylapatite-based dermal filler is injected into the skin to smooth deep wrinkles and folds which can develop due to aging or sun exposure. Radiesse also restores age-related volume loss and creates enhanced facial contouring.
Radiesse is different from other dermal fillers in that its active ingredient is made of calcium, like our bones. This sturdy yet highly elastic formulation adds immediate volume to the treatment area while also inducing collagen production for longer-lasting results. Its moldable texture stays soft, feels natural, and remains in place for a year or longer. Radiesse is proven to be one of the most force-resistant dermal fillers on the market. This means that after the injection process, the gel will not migrate or deform under applied pressure.
Radiesse can be used to rejuvenate the face, neck, and hands. Our neck and hands are just as revealing about our age as our faces. As we age, our hands tend to become thinner, sometimes revealing underlying bones, joints, and veins. Women’s hands especially can lose their once plump and youthful appearance. Changes occur due to a loss of fat and sun exposure that thins the skin.
Sculptra ® – Biostimulator
Skin that feels like you again
Sculptra is unlike other hyaluronic acid fillers in that it is not a specific site filler; it’s a natural substance that stimulates the body to re-grow your own collagen to restore lost volume. Sculptra works over time so it is less noticeable and more natural. With other fillers, results are immediate. While most fillers have to be repeated every 6-12 months, the effects of Sculptra can last for up to two years.
Sculptra is made of synthetic poly-l-lactic acid. PLLA has been used for many years in dissolvable stitches and medical implants. It is biocompatible, which means it will not harm your body. Sculptra is the first facial injectable to give you noticeable results that are subtle and gradual to give you a natural look. May be used almost anywhere on the face.
The average number of treatment sessions of Sculptra is 2-3 injection sessions over a few months timespan. The sessions are spread out this way because Sculptra works gradually, and the time between injection sessions gives Sculptra enough time to work. Sculptra can last up to two years.
Here's how PRF is typically used for hair loss treatment:
- Blood Collection: The procedure begins with a small amount of blood being drawn from the patient’s arm, similar to a routine blood test.
- Centrifugation: The collected blood is then placed in a centrifuge machine, which spins at high speeds. This process separates the blood into different components based on their densities, with the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) layer being the target.
- Fibrin Formation: After centrifugation, the PRP is combined with a natural fibrin matrix, usually derived from the patient’s own blood, to create PRF. Fibrin is a protein involved in the blood clotting process, and by incorporating it into the PRP, it forms a gel-like substance that helps to retain the platelets and growth factors at the treatment site.
- Application: The PRF is then injected directly into the areas of the scalp where hair thinning or loss has occurred. It can also be combined with microneedling or other techniques to enhance its absorption and effectiveness.
- Growth Factors and Regeneration: Platelets contain growth factors such as platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), among others. These growth factors play crucial roles in tissue repair, blood vessel formation, and hair follicle regeneration. By delivering concentrated levels of growth factors to the scalp, PRF aims to stimulate dormant hair follicles, promote hair growth, and improve the overall quality and density of the existing hair.
- Treatment Plan: Depending on the individual’s needs and the severity of hair loss, a series of PRF sessions may be recommended. The treatment intervals can vary, but they are typically spaced several weeks apart.It’s important to note that PRF for hair loss is still a relatively new approach, and its efficacy may vary from person to person. While some individuals may experience positive results with increased hair growth and thickness, others may not see significant improvements.
Microneedling + PRF
Vampire Facial
Get ageless skin
Microneedling is the go-to anti-aging procedure for celebrities and models. It is also highly effective for reducing stretch marks and acne scars. Microneedling restores the skin’s natural healing process that prompts the increased production of collagen while tightening, smoothing, and improving rough texture, sun damage, large pores, scarring, and fine lines. For enhanced results, your own Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) is added to your Microneedling treatment (also known as the Vampire Facial ). The most common areas treated are the face, neck and chest.
I recommend 3 consecutive monthly treatments, followed by one treatment annually as maintenance.
TMJ Pain
Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) treatment with Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin
Located at the points where each side of the jawbone meets the skull, the TMJ is used in everyday activities. However, if the joint becomes displaced or is overworked through excessive teeth grinding and clenching, a person can suffer sever jaw pain, tension headaches, neck and shoulder pain. The pain can become a chronic issue over time affecting your quality of life. A non-surgical procedure using neurotoxin as a treatment for TMJ disorders is usually quick, straightforward and effective.
ZO® 3-Step Peel
Improve your skin texture
A highly effective treatment for many signs of skin aging, including melasma, sun damage, fine lines, uneven texture, large pores, dullness, and acne. The 3-Step Peel works to improve the health of facial skin through exfoliation and cellular stimulation. With this peel, patients will achieve glowing results and tighter, smoother, brighter-looking skin, after the peeling process is completed (about one week). Typically, peeling begins between day two and three. Treatments should be repeated three times per year for optimal results as part of a long-term skin health plan.
Advice from Dr. Obagi “Three, 3 Step Peels a year and you will never age!”
EZ Gel
100% Natural Biostimulator + Filler
Natural, regenerative and volumizing filler that contains both serum albumin and growth factors obtained through your own blood sample. Using the body’s own powerful proteins, instead of relying on artificial components, EZ Gel plasma filler is a wonderful treatment for skin rejuvenation and volumization.
It is obtained by mixing the growth factors of liquid PRF and the albumin of plasma. This is achieved by the centrifugation and heating process of a whole blood sample without chemicals or modifications. It also provides an innovative flexible consistency allowing the plasma gel’s viscosity to adapt to the various areas of treatment. The extended release of growth factors and biostimulation further enhance beautiful, natural results.
EZ Gel is extremely versatile. It can be used for volume enhancement and symmetry adjustment, as well as skin rejuvenation. It stimulates collagen production, reducing the signs of aging (wrinkles, fine lines, loose skin) and acne scars. Common treatment areas in the face include under eye hollows, crow’s feet, nasolabial folds, cheeks, marionette lines, smoker lines, chin, jawline, and lips.
KYBELLA®
Improve your appearance and profile
KYBELLA® is used to improve the appearance and profile of moderate to severe fat below the chin (submental fat), also called “double chin. “The active ingredient in KYBELLA® is synthetic deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, KYBELLA® destroys fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, so further treatment is not expected once you reach your desired aesthetic goal.
Exosome Therapy
Exosomes are an incredible new treatment for deep skin rejuvenation and repair
Exosome treatments use the latest advances in science to help skin look better and feel younger.
BENEV Exosome therapy is based on the most cutting-edge scientific biotech breakthrough for skin rejuvenation and regeneration. The experts at BENEV have developed a powerful formula that can help improve the appearance of your skin, making you look younger and more radiant. BENEV Exosome therapy can also help the skin heal quicker after treatments like microneedling and chemical peels.
When Microneedling and chemical peels are combined with exosomes, this treatment can help improve the skin’s healing process, reduce recovery time and enhance the results of your procedure providing lasting results.
How do Exosomes Work?
Exosomes are released by cells when they fuse with the plasma membrane. Their primary purpose is to help facilitate communication between cells; in order for the body to function properly, it’s essential that the cells be able to communicate effectively. A stoppage in the flow of information within the body can often lead to an imbalance; this is where exosomes come into play as they help to restore balance.
Exosomes communicate by transferring their contents to other cells. They have been proven to promote tissue regeneration, helping the body remodel and heal, which can lead to brighter, youthful, glowing skin when paired with some of our most popular treatments.

Hyaluronidase Filler Reversal
Hyaluronidase is an enzyme used to dissolve hyaluronic acid fillers
Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance produced by the human body in abundance among young people. Its role in the skin is to attract moisture into it. This makes it an appealing substance for injection as a dermal filler to help minimize fine lines and wrinkles.
One aspect of fillers that is appealing is that hyaluronic acid fillers are temporary and reversible.
Hyaluronidase is an enzyme used to dissolve hyaluronic acid fillers if an error has been made by a practitioner, the filler has migrated, or if the patient is unhappy with their results for any reason.
