The practice

## Small by design. Every treatment, performed by me, start to finish.

FaceSPec is a one-person practice, and I intend to keep it that way. I see a limited number of patients each week, by appointment only — no rotating providers, no shared rooms, no one else’s hands.

The work is subtle on purpose. My patients tend to hear “you look well-rested,” not “what did you do?” If you want a dramatic change, I’m probably not your clinician. If you want to look like yourself on a very good day, I am.

정성

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

## Trained where the technique was born

I trained in person in Gangnam, Seoul — the center of Korean dermatology — over multiple intensive stays, working twelve-hour days on patients alongside a Korean dermatologist. What I brought home is a technique, and a temperament. I have also trained in New York in the traditional style, so I know both approaches well — and can adapt to what each patient actually needs.

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.

A note on the word “Botox”: I use it the way patients do — as shorthand for botulinum toxin. In my practice I work with two FDA-approved products, Jeuveau and Xeomin. Which one is right for you, we decide together at your consultation.

Treatments

## A short list, done well

### I · Injectable aesthetics

#### Skin Botox — the Glow Facial signature

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.

#### Traditional Botox

Forehead lines, frown lines, crow’s feet — one to three areas. I dose conservatively, what many call baby Botox, so your face still moves and still reads as yours.

#### Focused Botox

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.

#### SkinVive skin booster

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.

#### PRP under-eye

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.

### II · IV therapy

#### A limited set of infusions

Each has a specific purpose. I placed IVs for ten years in emergency rooms and intensive care — and six years in comfort care taught me what supportive infusions can do. A brief health review precedes every infusion.

#### The Renewal · The Freedom · The Glory

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.

#### Antioxidants & NAD+

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, at 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.

About

## Seolhee Patel, NP

I began as a nurse in South Korea — first in my class in Daejeon, where I received the Young Nightingale Award — and spent my first two years in a surgical intensive care unit, a place with no margin for error.

Then, New York: emergency rooms across the city. Ten years in emergency and intensive care, between Korea and New York, is the foundation of how I inject. I earned my MSN at NYU, where I received the William Randolph Hearst Award, and am a board-certified nurse practitioner, licensed in New York.

For six years I also worked in comfort care. Caring for people at the end of life taught me to listen, never to rush, and to treat every person with dignity. That pace is how I run this practice.

And then, Seoul again: I returned to Korea to train in person with a dermatologist in Gangnam — multiple intensive stays, twelve-hour days on patients — to learn the techniques this practice is built on.

What to expect

## Three unhurried steps

01

### Consultation

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.

02

### Treatment

A private suite; you never share the space with other patients. I perform every treatment myself, start to finish.

03

### Follow-up

I check results at two weeks and refine if needed. Subtle work deserves a second look.

You won’t find my patients’ faces here or anywhere online — I don’t post them, and I don’t share before-and-after photographs. That is a policy, not an oversight. Most people come to me precisely because the work is subtle enough that no one can tell — but you feel happy and satisfied.

Ten years in emergency rooms and intensive care taught me precision. Six years in comfort care taught me something gentler: there are other ways to help people, and health on the inside shows on the outside.

I hold aesthetic medicine to hospital standards.
