It is truly Annie’s honor to partner with patients and develop a skin care plan, with an eye toward the safest and most effective treatment options for addressing your specific concerns.

Annie also has 6 years of experience in the assessment of aging faces as she trained with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon. During Annie’s training, she would sit in with her medical director and create surgical and non-surgical plans during their initial plastic surgery consultations. Each consultation is unique and allows for gaining perspective on each patient’s long- and short-term goals as well as plans for an ongoing skincare regimen. After surgery, Annie assisted patients in preserving their results by providing an at-home plan, as well as a professional treatment program.
