From her early days in a small office to launching a successful practice and skincare line, Amy shares insights on her passion for skincare, spurred by her own personal experience with severe scarring from a traumatic accident. We explore the balance between embracing aging and using modern skincare technologies artfully, the importance of intention and trust in aesthetic treatments, and the power of investing in oneself.
