Women of childbearing age routed through UC San Diego Health Obstetrics and Gynecology – Hillcrest for pregnancy-safe melasma, acne, and hyperpigmentation treatment represent a defined subspecialty referral into her cosmetic panel. She graduated from Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and served as chief resident in dermatology at the University of Illinois at Chicago, with a research emphasis on laser therapy for pediatric and adult patients. Fluent Polish and conversational Spanish and French extend the injector consent and aftercare instructions she delivers to multilingual cosmetic patients across the 92103. Facelift candidates requiring staged injectable and laser preparation before surgical rhytidectomy are comanaged with Evolve Aesthetic Surgery when cosmetic goals exceed what in-office neuromodulators and fractional lasers can achieve alone. Combined Thermitight with submental microliposuction layered alongside toxin and filler protocols for neck rejuvenation represents the most technically layered cosmetic workflow she offers.
