About

Embrace Vanity was founded by Garry K. Kim, MD. It began in 2000 as an internal medicine practice focused on nutrition, wellness and weight management, and aesthetic treatments were added shortly afterward. The business now offers a wide menu of cosmetic and body services from its Pasadena location.

Dr. Kim graduated from U.C. Berkeley and Albert Einstein College of Medicine. The business describes its approach to health and beauty as holistic and says vanity can be a motivator for wellness. It describes its own cosmetic work as individualized and uses what it calls state-of-the-art technologies, and it states a commitment to supporting clients through the whole treatment process.

Body services include a nonsurgical Brazilian butt lift that uses Sculptra filler to add volume and contour. CoolSculpting uses cryolipolysis to freeze fat in areas such as the belly, under the chin, inner thighs and under the arms. According to the business, the procedure reduces fat cells in the treated area by approximately 20-25%, and it involves no surgery, needles or downtime. Kybella fat removal is also offered.

The injectables menu includes Botox and Dysport for frown lines, forehead lines, crow's feet, and lip and neck lines. Dermal fillers from Juvederm, Radiesse and Restylane are used to soften wrinkles and folds, add volume under the eyes, enhance cheeks and plump lips.

Laser services include hair removal for areas such as the bikini, butt, beard, back and belly, as well as laser vein removal for spider veins, small varicose veins on the legs or around the nose, and cherry angiomas. The business says vein sessions can be as short as five minutes. Laser facials are offered too. For skin and hair, microneedling with PRP, also called collagen induction therapy, can be done on the face or body, and hair loss restoration begins with an assessment of the underlying cause of thinning or patchy hair before steroid injections and microneedling. Brows are served with microblading, and the threadlift menu includes a PDO thread lift.

The business describes its care as holistic and sees vanity as a possible motivator for wellness. It emphasizes staying involved with clients from consultation through treatment.
