Dose By Design was founded by Cathy Tang, PA-C, as a boutique practice meant to feel more personal and unhurried than high-volume aesthetic clinics. Treatment is planned through consultation rather than set packages, and the practice describes its aim as natural-looking results with a measured amount of product.
Visits begin with a consultation. In-person consultations run about 60 minutes and cover medical history, goals, and questions about preparation, treatment and aftercare. Virtual consultations, about 30 minutes, are offered when appropriate, though they cannot guarantee that treatment can be approved or planned without an in-person assessment. A $100 deposit is applied toward treatment when treatment is done at the same appointment, and first-time patients can usually be treated at the same visit if enough time is reserved and treatment is judged appropriate. The practice is open Wednesday and Friday 9 AM to 6 PM and Saturday 9 AM to 5 PM, and is closed Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday.
Neurotoxin is priced per unit, so the total depends on the number of units recommended at consultation. Listed prices are $4.33 per unit for Dysport, $13 per unit for Botox, Jeuveau and Daxxify Lite, and $15 per unit for Daxxify Strong. Treatment areas can include the forehead, frown lines, crow's feet, bunny lines, the chin, jawline, masseters, neck bands, and a lip flip, which uses neurotoxin around the upper lip and does not add volume. Results usually begin three to seven days after treatment and are typically full by about two weeks. Because they are temporary, maintenance is often suggested every three to four months.
Filler may be used in the lips, cheeks, temples, chin, jawline, nasolabial folds and marionette lines. Lip filler is a dedicated service for border definition, volume, the balance between upper and lower lip, and hydration; a half syringe (Mini Lip Dose) is listed at $600 and a full syringe (Full Lip Dose) at $700. Other dermal fillers are listed at $900 per syringe. Facial balancing plans consider how features relate to one another and can be completed in one visit or phased over time. Filler dissolving with hyaluronidase is available for some hyaluronic-acid products, though it does not work on other fillers and may take several sessions. Sculptra, a biostimulatory injectable, is listed at $900 per vial and supports gradual collagen production within an individualized plan, with the vial count set at each session.
Medical weight loss begins with a 60-minute new patient consultation, and monthly supply is listed from $500. Follow-up visits are 30 minutes and extended follow-ups are 45 minutes, priced per plan. Plans are medically supervised and may include prescription therapy when appropriate, along with nutrition guidance and lifestyle recommendations. Prescriptions ship to the patient's home from a licensed pharmacy, and insurance coverage varies by plan, with documentation available to submit to insurers. The practice operates under a licensed Medical Director in line with California regulations.
Each treatment starts with a comprehensive facial assessment and a plan built around the patient's anatomy, history and goals rather than a standard pattern. The aim is natural-looking results, with a measured approach to how much product is used.
A boutique practice inside a shared skincare clinic building, with a slower, more personal pace than high-volume clinics.
