“I started using fillers and facial fat in patients with HIV lipoatrophy that had facial wasting… When I realized the outcomes were not only cosmetic but changed lives, I knew this was my calling.”
–Dr. Jason Emer, MD
Origin: From Facial Restoration to a Life’s Work
This journey began by treating individuals with HIV lipoatrophy– people facing facial wasting and too often being turned away elsewhere. Early use of fillers and facial fat didn’t just “improve a look”; it changed how patients felt when they saw themselves. That realization sparked a calling: use cosmetic dermatology to help people look and feel better, in ways that matter to their everyday lives.
What Sets This Practice Apart
Genuine care is the differentiator. Every patient is met with attentiveness, not a one-time “procedure.” The aim is consistent: to achieve the best outcomes through a custom approach, staying at the forefront of the newest technologies and thoughtful combinations, and doing “whatever it takes” within a safe and ethical practice to build trust and deliver results.
Long-Term Relationships, Not One-Offs
Treatments here are never meant to be a one-time experience. Plans are staged and long-term, with regular check-ins and maintenance that evolve alongside your life, goals, and changes to your skin or body. When you need something, you know exactly who to turn to—and who will guide you through it, step by step.
Lifestyle: Practiced, Preached, and Modeled
Cosmetic outcomes are only as strong as the habits that support them. This practice lives the philosophy: eat healthy, exercise, manage stress, protect skin, and follow thoughtful protocols before and after procedures. The rule is simple: we don’t just recommend it – we do it. Physical, mental, and emotional health are integral to the plan, because looking good is great, but feeling good is priceless.
Innovation & Safe “Push”
Being “different” means pushing the limit safely – embracing innovative combinations and new technologies when they serve you. The lens is always patient-first: strong protocols, measured dosing, and clear expectations, so innovation elevates outcomes without compromising safety.
Core Treatment Pillars (Quick Comparison)
Concern / Goal | Primary Options | Typical Plan | Why It Works |
Fat Reduction | Targeted lipolysis (device-based) ± micro-contouring | Series with defined intervals | Gradual, measurable change; sculpting fine-tunes shape |
Skin Tightening | Energy-based tightening (RF/ultrasound) | Sessions over months | Collagen remodeling = firmer look with minimal downtime |
Cellulite Improvement | Multi-modal: subcision/energy/biostimulators | Staged approach | Tackles structure + skin quality for smoother appearance |
Lasers for Skin Quality | Resurfacing/toning customized to skin type | Cyclical protocols | Texture, tone, and clarity improve in layered cycles |
Facial Fillers | Proportion-first volumization | Subtle, periodic | Restores balance and freshness without looking “done” |
Facial Fat (Restoration) | Autologous fat transfer | Planned sessions + follow-ups | Natural tissue for durable volume in select candidates |
All plans are customized to anatomy, goals, and tolerance for downtime; maintenance extends longevity.
Choosing the Right Physician (And What You Should Expect)
- They care about you, not just your chart.
- They understand your condition and your “why” for seeking treatment.
- They offer an innovative, tailored approach, not a one-size-fits-all menu.
- You feel connected – heard, respected, and never rushed.
They walk you through the process, step by step, holding your hand from the consult to follow-ups.
If you don’t feel that alignment, it’s okay to keep looking. The right fit matters.
