Philosophy
Aesthetic Dermatology is Empowerment
It’s us embracing all parts of you and your journey. It’s us working together in collaboration. It’s us elevating you to look, feel and be the most refined version of you.
The heart of my practice is collaborative relationships. The first phase of your aesthetic journey is meeting each other, learning about each other, and building a foundation of trust. I want to understand your story - who you are, what parts make you, and your values, cosmetic aspirations, anatomic and ethnic makeup, and aging patterns.
The next step is designing a comprehensive treatment plan - one which is rooted in science and medical evidence. There are many tools available in cosmetic dermatology. I aim to leverage the synergy between different treatment modalities by developing a unique and customized treatment plan for you. Then, there is the delivery of this plan, achieving incremental changes over time for natural and refined results.
The field of aesthetic dermatology continues to grow rapidly. I am committed to being at the cutting edge of this evolution, to bring you the safest and best innovation.
Our relationship will be ongoing, and my purpose will always remain: empower you to live your best life, with confidence.
Let's start your aesthetic journey, together. Thank you for your trust.
Good vibes always,
Dr. Malika Ladha
