Our Story
Maria became an esteemed healthcare provider 12 years ago, beginning in Emergency Medicine. In 2018, she started exploring different specialities including cosmetic and medical dermatology. Maria found an opportunity to personalize the aesthetic experience for each patient on a unique level. Her practice was the first in the region to incorporate ultrasound guided injections. Her results-driven approach comes with years of experience, in-depth knowledge of facial anatomy, and advanced injection trainings. Her passions include complication management, ultrasound based procedures, and training other injectors. Maria prides herself on honest assessments and thoughtful treatment plans to achieve their patients’ goals.
We look forward to serving you as we work together to enhance your natural beauty!
