About

The business is based in San Jose and describes itself as premium aesthetic care in a warm, welcoming space. It welcomes clients of any gender, age or skin type.

Each first meeting is a no-cost consultation with no requirement to schedule treatment. The practitioner looks at facial proportions, how the muscles move, past skin concerns, daily habits and what the client hopes to achieve, then designs the approach around the individual's facial structure and personal preferences. The studio hosts the majority of sessions, while group bookings and celebrations can be held elsewhere on request. Traveling service to a client's home reaches Milpitas, Monte Sereno, Los Gatos, Campbell, Saratoga, Cupertino, Sunnyvale, Santa Clara and San Jose, within about 15 miles of the studio, and visits to other towns can be requested. At home, the practitioner brings everything in, provides treatment, then restores the room to its original state.

The menu runs from wrinkle relaxers and Xeomin or Jeuveau-based Facialtox sessions to hyaluronic acid fillers for lips, cheeks, chin and nasolabial folds, plus a range of therapeutic neurotoxin treatments. Microneedling can be paired with PDRN or exosome serums, and VI Peel options range from Original to Body. Wellness injections, facial massage and skincare products round out the offerings. Injectable pricing is quoted per unit or per syringe at consultation, and a standard Tox rate of $15 per unit is listed.

Glow Parties are for groups of three or more booking together and include a party discount and a host credit. Hours are Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, with weekend appointments available by request. A deposit of $50 may be needed to hold a booking, and cancellations or rescheduling need at least 24 hours of notice.

Aims for natural-looking results and subtle refinement, with each treatment plan tailored to the client's anatomy, lifestyle and preferences after a personalized consultation.

The business describes its space as warm and welcoming.
