Hi! I'm LAURIE,
I have been performing aesthetic injections since 2006. I am a Registered Nurse and am proud to hold the credentials as a Certified Aesthetic Nurse Specialist (CANS) by the International Society of Plastic & Aesthetic Nurses.
As a pioneer in the aesthetic industry, I experienced firsthand, the ins and outs of techniques and products as they have entered the market. In terms of products that I choose to use, safety and patient satisfaction is most important. As far as outcomes, I study proportions and strive for a natural and balanced appearance.
Educating my patients on their aging process and making sure they understand their treatment plan is very important to me. After all, teaching is my other passion. Teaching gives me the opportunity to keep up with the most current data, safety, and latest techniques.
As a mother of a young boy, I can certainly relate to the aging process that motherhood brings. I began in the industry as a young woman, as years have gone by, I feel blessed for the relatability I can share with my clientele, as an "aging" woman myself.
Facial aesthetic injections have always been my specialty and passion. However, as I began the aging process myself, my interest in using injectables all over the body became more necessary to help others (and myself).
Credentials:
- Board Certified Aesthetic Nurse Specialist
- Prollenium Advanced Clinical Educator
- Member of ISPAN (International Society of Plastic and Aesthetic Nurses)
- Member of Dermatology Nurses Association
- California Registered Nurse 2001 - present
- American Nurses Foundation

LET’S TALK FAQ’S
-
No two bodies are alike....and our faces are not alike either. I don't know until I see you in person, but I do have a good graph of approximate units.
There are many approaches to Botox such as, if someone wants a natural look, they don't want any movement, or we are lifting or smoothing lines. All of which I thoroughly explain in any appointment.
I want my patients to know the how and why of neurotoxin injections. Dosage and duration are also important to understand. This means that the FDA cleared Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin for 3-4 months duration with specific indicated doses. However, that doesn't mean it is always best for the patient to use those doses, it just means that those doses are what will last 3-4 months.

When dermal fillers have been placed in the right place and in the appropriate locations were volume has been lost, a person can look restored…and it's hard to tell what was done.
Even using filler on someone with an already filled face can actually make them look more slim and contoured when done properly. It's so amazing to see!
-
Dermal fillers are wonderful because they give instant results. They are made of hyaluronic acid.
Biostimulators will actually stimulate collagen to restore the skin's natural volume.
I have many patients who are very fit, but their face may not look as youthful when too much volume is lost.
Sculptra or Hyperdilute Radiesse are wonderful options to make them look restored. It stimulates their own collagen and they don't burn it off with intense work outs, as some people can with filler.

Kind Words...
“I’ve been going to Laurie for 12 years. I would follow her anywhere. At my first appointment she took as much time as I needed to feel comfortable with the product and the process. She explained in detail what to expect, when to expect it and for how long. Now 12 years later she still explains those same things and I so appreciate that about her. It just shows how much she cares about her clients and she doesn’t take time or familiarly with someone for granted. We all get the same Laurie experience. She’s a master of her craft and just all around a wonderful person.”
- April S.
“I’ve gone to Laurie for almost 6 years now. I trust her with absolutely every treatment whether it’s something I’ve gotten consistently or something new I have wanted to try. She’s personable and understands what it is you ask for, and won’t ever do anything she doesn’t think you’ll be happy with. If I ever moved I’d have to fly to San Diego just to go to Laurie for my treatments!”
- Paige D.
“I've been seeing Laurie for a little over a year, and she's absolutely the best addition to my self-care regimen and awesome person. I have the kind of face that gets super skinny with age, and restoring volume is a huge, ongoing undertaking that requires expert insight and care to achieve maximum results. Fortunately, Laurie is indeed an expert in the field, by far the most trustworthy, passionate, and knowledgeable injector I've ever worked with, and this includes award-winning plastic surgeons.
Laurie will always take her time, study your face carefully, and only do what is safe, necessary, and natural. As an educator, she's always leveling-up her knowledge and skills, so her clients are privy to the latest innovations & up-to-date info. The results of Laurie's work are dramatic, though, as I mentioned, totally natural and restorative. I just tried PRF ezgel for the first time to address areas Sculptra can't, and the glow to my skin is noteworthy. While the treatment has not even had the full time to show maximum results, I'm already seeing restoration of collagen under my eyes.
I can't recommend Laurie enough and trust her completely with my delicate skin. Thank you, Laurie, for making me feel amazing and look my best!”
