About

Shine (Raffinee Delacruz) founded Essence by Shine in 2026, after practicing at a prior practice. She is an injectable specialist and an aesthetic nurse specialist, and she has worked in aesthetics since 2021. She trained at Samuel Merritt University for a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and is a Registered Nurse licensed by the State of California. Her continuing education covers neurotoxin certification at several levels, advanced Daxxify training, multiple filler courses including lip and midface work, microneedling with PRP and PDRN, VI Peel, dermastamping, and IV wellness therapy. She focuses on injectables and skincare treatments, with facial slimming as a particular area of work. Her approach starts with a consultation covering skin history, lifestyle and goals. She doses conservatively, builds fillers in layers, and recommends Jawtox before filler when lower-face widening is present. For Facialtox she maps facial movement and lets clients approve the unit plan before treatment, and she typically schedules a two-week follow-up to add small amounts if desired. Clients include men, women and non-binary people from their twenties to their sixties and beyond, and first-time clients are a specialty.
