What sets Aurelia apart
The practice
Physician-led
Founded + clinically led by Dr. Aurelia Chen, MD. Board-certified Dermatology + Dermatopathology. Active practice; not absentee owner. All treatment plans clinically reviewed.
Evidence-based + conservative
We don’t do experimental or high-risk treatments. Treatments backed by clinical evidence + adopted in mainstream dermatology. We say ‘no’ when treatments aren’t right for a patient.
Individualized plans
No two patients get the same plan. Skin type, concerns, goals, age, budget, downtime tolerance all factor in. Free consultations build the plan. No upselling.
Provider continuity
Patients see the same provider across visits. Lower turnover than typical med spa. Long-term relationships with patients (some 5+ years). Specific provider expertise matters.
Real outcomes documentation
Photo documentation of every patient’s journey. Specific results gallery on website. Realistic before/after expectations set in consultations.
Honest pricing
Transparent pricing on every treatment. No hidden fees. Financing through CareCredit + Affirm. Specific cost discussed in every consultation; never a surprise.

From patients
What patients say
“Came to Aurelia after a botched filler treatment elsewhere. Dr. Chen took 3 visits to assess + correct. Was honest about realistic expectations + outcomes. The whole experience was clinical + thoughtful in a way the previous provider wasn’t.”

“I’ve been coming for 4 years for maintenance Botox + occasional filler. Same provider every visit. Honest assessment of what I need vs. what I want. Subtle, natural results.”

“Did the laser + microneedling combo for sun damage. Dr. Chen explained the trade-offs honestly — including saying my expectations were unrealistic for one session. 3 sessions over 4 months delivered the results I wanted.”
