What exactly is facial balancing?

Facial balancing is a technique where we use filler holistically and conservatively to give you the most natural result when it comes to filler. It often involves treating multiple areas together, so that the whole face looks seamless and cohesive, and not any one area sticks out as “done”.

It’s the most effective way to soften shadows in the face such as:
+ Undereyes
+ cheek hollows
+ nasolabial folds
+ shadows around the mouth
+ jowls

It can also be used to enhance and define features like the lips and the chin.

When we use filler in this way - lightly sprinkled in all the right places - the result is a brighter more lifted version of you.

A little behind the scenes of what natural results actually look like day to day.

Time spent on consultations, thorough skin treatments, and customized plans for every patient.

Because the process matters just as much as the result.

Your 30s and 40s are less about “fixing” and more about maintaining what you already have beautifully.

This is the decade where collagen loss, volume shifts, skin laxity, and fine lines start to show up a little more — but the goal isn’t to look different. It’s to stay looking like you, just well-rested, refreshed, and supported over time.

My favorite treatments during this stage are ones that work gradually and naturally:
✨ Preventative + maintenance Botox
✨ Collagen stimulation (Sculptra + microneedling)
✨ Medical-grade skincare
✨ Strategic facial balancing when needed
✨ BBL/Moxi is a great starter device/laser

The best results usually come from layering subtle treatments consistently rather than chasing dramatic changes later.

If you’re not sure where to start, schedule a consultation with me and we’ll come up with a plan that works for you.

Struggling with acne throughout much of my adult life was what sparked my passion for skincare and ultimately led me to aesthetics.

I’ve been there - trialing every product, wondering if it would be the one to change my skin, using prescriptions, experimenting with supplements.

What finally got me to the other side was staying consistent with a routine of proven medical grade products, and sticking through the uncomfortable parts that can come along with it.

And while I had access to all the in office treatments - I would say 90% of my improvement came from the skincare.

Which is why I’m so passionate about the skincare protocols that I’ve curated and recommend to my patients. I truly just want you to experience the better side of your skin.

They definitely didn’t teach this in medical school…👀

But seriously, if you’ve ever engaged, shared, or found value from my page - thank you 🤍

Hi! I’m Dr. Lee - I’m a cosmetic physician in NYC specializing in facial balancing and natural results.

If you’re looking to build a relationship with someone who will take the time to understand your skin, and provide a tailored treatment plan - I’m your girl.

Can’t wait to see you!

You don’t need to touch up your filler as often as you might think.

Once a year is a general rule of thumb, but it’s not a nail appointment - you may not always need a treatment at the one year mark. Many of my patients who have done facial balancing still look great after a year and we will push back their follow up injections or do fine tuning with less product.

Well placed filler can last longer than a year - and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. The important thing is that your provider assesses your facial structure as the time goes on, and adjusts your treatment according to where you are at, to keep you looking the most natural in the long term.

Acne isn’t just about what you put on your skin.
Some of the biggest triggers are hiding in your daily routine 👀

Taking a deep dive into potential lifestyle triggers will help your overall acne treatment work better. If not, it’s like trying to patch a wall, but you haven’t fixed the leak.

Comment ACNE and I’ll send you my complete list of sneaky acne triggers.

Reminder: you’re exactly where you’re meant to be ✨

Grateful to all the patients who made 2025 unforgettable. Another year full of quality care, never ending learning, and balancing the responsibilities of motherhood and entrepreneurship.

Cheers to a beautiful and bright year ahead 🎉

The best pick me up ✨

Botox is one of the quickest, most effective ways to soften expression lines — but the real magic happens when you pair it with collagen-stimulating skincare. Treat the muscle and strengthen the skin, and your results look smoother, glowier, and last longer. ✨
