Christina earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Drexel University and graduated from the TITAN Injector Development Program. Christina worked in the CICU in Philadelphia at the beginning of her career and later moved to San Francisco as a travel nurse. She quickly fell in love with the city and decided to stay and follow her passion for aesthetics.

Christina is passionate about making sure people feel comfortable while approaching things in a holistic manner. She wants her patients to feel supported from all angles and from the inside out. Beauty isn't just skin deep and getting to learn and listen to their deeper wants and needs while collaborating together on the best outcome is her main goal during their journey, while also being safe and realistic. She wants people to feel confident and empowered at any stage in their life and is excited to help them get there. She loves that she gets to be a part of her patients journey to self-love.

Christina's favorite treatment to get as a client is a facial. Facials bring her a sense of nostalgia as she remembers her grandmother getting facials when she was a little girl, and as soon as she started to join her, her love for skincare and aesthetics continued to grow. What Christina loves about facials is that they are something everyone can get that will produce great outcomes and are a great starting point for clients that aren't sure where to begin.

Outside of work, you can find Christina on a long walk with her golden retriever and boyfriend, reading a good book (her goal is 50 books this year), or cooking up a new meal in the kitchen.

Samantha Pang, FNP-C, found a passion for skincare at an early age. After struggling with acne in high school, Sam found a medical spa that helped her transform her skin - and she knew she wanted to help others do the same.

"Once I became a nurse, I knew that I wanted to work in the field of aesthetic dermatology to help others feel confident in their skin," says Sam. "I also grew up playing the piano, violin and painting. So naturally I love the arts, and that's why I gravitated towards the artistic side of medicine."

After graduating from the Seattle University's School of Nursing, Sam received her Family Nurse Practitioner degree at Cal State Long Beach. She went on to work in a dermatologist's office, where she assisted with MOHs surgery and treating chronic dermatologic diseases. One year later, Sam moved back to LA to pursue a full time career as an Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner.

Today, she continues her goal of helping patients feel their most confident through medical aesthetics, her favorite treatment being Botox (if she had to choose). If there is one treatment that I can't live without, it's BOTOX!" says Sam. "I've been a BOTOX consumer since I was 23, and it has kept my forehead looking smooth. I'm living proof that preventative Botox works!"

She also reminds patients that while it's easy to improve your skin with treatments like lights and lasers, maintaining your results requires a commitment to quality skincare products. The right medical-grade skincare products will protect your skin from environmental stressors, provide hydration, and promote collagen stimulation.
