MEET THE TEAM

  • I'm Elena, a Co-Founder of Botox and Beyond, and I'm excited to share my journey with you.

    I have a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (that I completed with honors) and I have been fortunate to work alongside renowned cardiovascular surgeons at the Scripps Memorial Hospital of La Jolla for the past 17 years.

    However, my journey extends beyond the cardiovascular arena as I have always searched the ways to help individuals find the connection between their inner and outer beauty. I believe that I have found the solution with the safe and state-of-the-art aesthetic techniques that we offer at Botox and Beyond. With my extensive international and domestic aesthetic training, I have cherished the art of creating connections, not just with medical procedures but with people – our clients. There's a special joy that comes from seeing someone rediscover their natural beauty. It goes beyond the physical; it's about reigniting that spark of self-discovery.

    At Botox and Beyond Spa, we don't just offer a service, we offer an experience. Education is at the heart of what we do. We strive to empower our clients with knowledge and guidance to an exciting journey of self-improvement and self-discovery. It's about exploring new paths, embracing the transformative power of aesthetic health, and learning new and innovative techniques.

    What truly lights up my world is the happiness of our clients. Watching their joy and newfound confidence is the most rewarding part of my job. As a co-founder, I strive to ensure that every visit to Botox and Beyond is not just a treatment, but a celebration of your unique beauty.

    Thank you for considering us as your partners in this journey. Your happiness and satisfaction with our services is the heartbeat of our purpose.
