By appointment only · Brooklyn Heights
Korean-style injectable skin treatments and a small, deliberate menu of IV infusions, from one clinician in Brooklyn Heights.
The practice
At FaceSPec, I see every patient myself, and only a limited number each week, by appointment only.
The work is subtle by design. My patients tend to hear “you look well-rested,” not “what did you have done?” If you’re looking for a dramatic change, I’m likely not your clinician. If you want to look like yourself on a very good day, I am.
jeongseong — the Korean word for devoted, painstaking care: attention given fully, without hurry. It is the standard I hold for every appointment.
More points. Smaller doses. The Seoul method.
The Seoul method
My training took place in Gangnam, Seoul, the heart of Korean aesthetic medicine. Over several intensive stays, I treated patients alongside a Korean physician. I came home with a technique, and a temperament.
Skin Botox, Korea’s signature treatment, places very small doses across many fine injection points near the surface of the skin, rather than a few deep ones. Patients choose it for refined pores, smoother texture, and less oil — the polished, luminous skin Korean clinics are known for — while the face keeps its full range of expression.
Treatments
Korea’s signature microinjection treatment: fine doses across the surface of the skin. Patients choose it for refined pores, smoother texture, and glow. Also offered combined with Traditional Botox in a single session.
Forehead lines, frown lines, crow’s feet — one to three areas. I dose conservatively, what many call baby Botox, so your face still moves.
Lip flip, gummy smile, bunny lines, chin. Also jaw tension and contour (TMJ), neckline definition, and underarm sweating (hyperhidrosis). Commonly performed; whether they’re right for you is assessed at your consultation.
Hyaluronic acid — a molecule your skin already makes — placed as microdroplets beneath the skin of the cheeks. FDA-approved to improve cheek smoothness, lasting around six months; patients also choose it for the hydrated look it gives.
Your own platelet-rich plasma, prepared in-suite and returned to the under-eye area — a gradual, biological approach to dark circles, hollows, and fine lines.
Each has a specific purpose. I placed IVs for ten years in emergency rooms and intensive care; a brief health review precedes every infusion.
Three vitamin-mineral blends built on magnesium, calcium, activated B12, B complex, and vitamin C. The Freedom adds double vitamin C and zinc — most often chosen around travel and demanding seasons. The Glory adds biotin and glutathione — the blend patients choose for skin and hair.
Glutathione is an antioxidant your body produces on its own; I offer it by IV as a single treatment or an add-on. Alpha-lipoic acid is another antioxidant, given at 250 mg. NAD+ is a molecule every cell uses to make energy; levels decline with age. Infused slowly, dosed up to 500 mg. IV nutrient therapy is elective wellness support. These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA, and these infusions are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
Stated plainly, as they should be
Consultations never obligate treatment.
“Botox” is used here the way patients use it — as shorthand for botulinum toxin.
I work with two FDA-approved products, Jeuveau and Xeomin.
About
I earned my bachelor’s degree in South Korea, where I received the Young Nightingale Award as the top student, and began my career in a surgical intensive care unit. I then spent ten years in emergency departments across the NYC area — work that shaped the clinical judgment and attention to detail behind every treatment I perform.
At NYU I earned my master’s degree as a recipient of the William Randolph Hearst Endowed Scholarship, and I am a board-certified nurse practitioner licensed in New York. For several years I also worked in comfort care, where caring for patients at the end of life taught me to listen carefully, never rush, and treat every person with dignity.
I trained in aesthetic medicine in Gangnam, Seoul, and completed advanced aesthetic medical education in New York City.
What to expect
Every appointment begins with a conversation. I’ll tell you honestly what I would do, what I wouldn’t — and if a treatment isn’t right for you, I’ll say so.
In the treatment room, once we’ve agreed on a plan.
I check results at two weeks and refine if needed.
You won’t find my patients’ faces online; I don’t post them. At your consultation, I can share consented before-and-after photographs privately.
