April Brinkley

April Brinkley practices as an aesthetic physician assistant and facial harmony specialist at The Institute by Dr. John Laura in Newport Beach, with 19 years in aesthetic medicine. She earned her physician assistant certification in 2002 and trained at Stanford University School of Medicine, where she also holds that certification. She is NCCPA certified and has kept her board certification active throughout her career. Earlier, she worked as an Evaluating Investigator on two multicenter randomized controlled trials covering Juvéderm and Restylane. Her specialties are Botox, hyaluronic acid fillers, Radiesse and Sculptra, and she also offers PRP, PDO thread lifts, laser skin treatments, and regenerative therapies using stem cells and exosomes. Her treatment plans begin with a review of skin quality, facial structure, health history and each client's goals, and she combines technologies and therapies as the situation calls for instead of relying on one approach. She aims to help clients look like the version of themselves they feel most confident as.
