Why Del Mar patients choose Carlsbad
the training behind the result
Del Mar has med spas within walking distance. The case for driving to Glow Theory is who plans and places your treatment: a dermatology-trained team with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon as Medical Director.
a medical director who teaches injectors
Dr. Jonathan Sykes, MD, a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon and past president of the AAFPRS, has trained practitioners in facial anatomy and injection technique for Botox and fillers.
dermatology-led, not device-led
Your plan is built by a team led by Insiyah Darugar, MSN, FNP, who completed the Harvard-affiliated Dermatology Nurse Practitioner Fellowship at Lahey Hospital & Medical Center.
lifting without surgery
Sofwave, Morpheus8 and Sculptra build firmness gradually, so results look like you on a good year rather than “something done”.
clear prices before you commit
Every treatment is quoted before it begins, and the full price list is published online. Nothing is added at checkout.
