Safety

What I do every time, and what I choose not to do.

EVERY TIME

  1. 01

    Genuine products, opened in front of you

    Products are opened in front of you, and you can see the authenticity label before treatment.

  2. 02

    The basics, always: single-use needles and cannulas

    Needles and cannulas are used once, then discarded.

  3. 03

    Ready for the unexpected

    When fillers are used, hyaluronidase and an emergency kit are always on hand.

    Anatomy first

    Before treating, I check where the vessels run and plan around the high-risk areas.

Dr.Kevin's Anatomy

I keep a personal atlas of facial anatomy, the vessels, nerves and layers behind every treatment, and use it to teach new doctors.

WHAT I CHOOSE NOT TO DO

  1. No treatment pushed on the first visit

    You can take time to think. If you would like to go ahead the same day, that is your choice.

  2. No more than you need

    No extra volume, and no stacking treatments just because there is time.

  3. No bundling treatments together

    Each treatment is planned on its own, only when you need it.

WHO YOU WILL MEET

The coordinator walks you through scheduling and costs. The doctor examines your skin and decides the medical plan.

A coordinator and the doctor, together.
