SANDI K. CHOE
Family Nurse Practitioner
Board Certified
Board Certified
As a board-certified Nurse Practitioner and a medical professional first, Sandi K Choe for most of her 25-year career became a trusted advisor to friends and family seeking advice and opinions on various conditions and treatment regimens. Several years ago, Sandi noticed a growing interest in cosmetic and injectable procedures among her friends and acquaintances. Always passionate about aesthetics, her research on their behalf led her to become interested in the field of helping people look their best without sacrificing safety and convenience. After the opportunity to train with a famed industry expert, Sandi capitalized on her extensive medical expertise, education and professional network to start her business offering services like neuromodulator injections and dermal filler treatments using FDA-approved products at a successful rejuvenation center. Sandi’s warm and caring personality combined with flawless results smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles has propelled her career in this arena.
As time went on, Sandi realized many of her clients (not unlike herself), are busy. Between family and professional commitments, making appointments and travelling to various office locations during business hours was nearly impossible. They wanted to look their best but wished they could have more flexibility in scheduling outside of standard office hours and workdays.
Sandi realized there was another gap she could fill in providing her services more conveniently. She created SKC Beauty and vowed to make “youthful beauty…never easier” for her clients and has added concierge service along with in-home procedures for individuals and groups performing treatments in her office and home locations. In addition to the enjoying the flexibility she provides, Sandi is noticing her clients are more relaxed by the comfort and privacy her in-home treatments afford them.
Sandi is excited to be able to offer Botox, dermal fillers and many other aesthetic treatments to her community in Rockland County, as well as New Jersey and Westchester County. Now you can return to the fresh, natural beauty of your youth and restore your confidence without leaving the privacy and comfort of your own home or choose one of the conveniently located offices. Let SKC be your beauty secret.

BOTOX ®:
Botulinum toxin "botox" is a neurotoxin protein that is derived from Clostridium botulinum bacterium. When injected in small quantities into the muscles in our face, it acts as a neuromuscular blocking agent, which prevents the muscles in our face to contract, thereby temporarily preventing wrinkle formation. BOTOX ® is FDA approved for a variety of cosmetic indications such as for the temporary treatment of moderate to severe glabellar (the wrinkles between your brows) frown lines in adults 18-65 yrs. Other off label uses include, wrinkles in the upper and lower face, crows feet, forehead, neck, chest and correction of facial asymmetries.
Dysport:
Like BOTOX ®, Dysport ® is another neuromodulator derived from botulinum toxin Type A. Both must be injected approximately every 3-4 mos and both have a gradual onset, anywhere from 2-7 days, maximum results seen at 14 days. Dysport ® has a quicker onset than BOTOX ®, usually 2 days. Both have similar duration. The difference between the two products is that Dysport is a smaller sized molecule, so the unit measurement is different than BOTOX ®. The conversion ratio is 3:1. So if you were getting 30 units of botox, you would get 90 units of Dysport ® injected.
Dermal Fillers:
RESTYLANE ® and JUVÉDERM ® are just some of the fillers SKC beauty injects. They are both Hyaluronic acid (HA) based fillers. Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of the body that is one of the 3 major constituents in our dermis. Collagen and elastin are the other 2 proteins to help support the dermis. Hyaluronic acid helps trap water and add volume and shape to our skin. With HA based dermal fillers, the effects are instant and continue to work as time goes on. They reverse the signs of aging by instantly correcting, enhancing and restoring volume to a more youthful state. Some of the areas D.F. are used to treat are the: nasolabial folds, marionette lines, enhancement of lips, and used to replace soft-tissue volume loss. Depending on the area being treated, dermal fillers can last anywhere between 6-12 months. They are both FDA approved. Come in for your free consult. This non-surgical procedure, with no downtown, and lasting results, may be just what you need to achieve your more youthful look! With any cosmetic procedure, notify your healthcare provider of any medical history and medications taken. Some of the common side effects of HA fillers can be mild swelling, bruising. Again, tell your provider if you are on any blood thinners. No allergy testing is required.
Smoothing Threads:
PDO (polydioxanone) threads are another non-surgical treatment to consider when Botox or dermal fillers do not work. PDO threads can treat wrinkles in the face and neck/upper chest by stimulating the fibrin and elastin in our skin to produce collagen. Collagen acts as the major support protein in our dermis. PDO threads are biodegradable, meaning they naturally dissolve over 6-8 months, but the threads leave behind lasting effects long after the sutures have dissolved. The thread is placed right underneath the dermis with a small needle, and when the thread is left behind in our dermis, it can also create an instant mechanical lift to the wrinkle, and tighten the skin by contracting the underlying fat and muscle, as well as stimulating collagen production. Some areas that can be treated with PDO smoothing threads are: nasolabial folds, marionette lines, lipstick lines, scars on the face, and small wrinkles on the cheeks. PDO smoothing threads can last anywhere from 12-18 months. Some common side effects are mild soreness for 3-5 days, and mild swelling for 3-5 days.
MINT ® PDO Lifting Threads:
MINT® PDO is available for any part of the face where loose skin is causing you grief, but most patients opt for a lower face procedure to improve the appearance of sagging skin in the cheeks, neck and jawline that cannot be effectively targeted with botox and fillers. One of the most attractive benefits of this procedure is the cost. As there is no invasive surgery to perform, the thread procedures typically cost on average half of what a standard facelift will cost. By choosing this procedure, you minimize the risk of complications after the procedure so that you can simply enjoy your fresher, younger look!

Widely used for its transformative effects on the skin, microneedling is a non-invasive treatment for a variety of conditions. When combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP), the treatment is a knockout.
What is Microneedling?
While there are at home treatments available for microneedling, they do not hold a candle to the amazing results that can be attained at our medical spa facility. Microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy, works by applying tiny needles to the surface of the skin through a hand-held device. The width of each needle is smaller than a human hair, and each needle creates invisible perforations. By creating tiny wounds in the skin, the body naturally responds by stimulating collagen and elastin growth, essential for skin renewal.
Benefits of Microneedling with PRP?
Numerous studies prove the efficacy of microneedling alone. For certain conditions, such as acne scars, the addition of PRP to the treatment amplifies the results and speeds recovery. This is because PRP uses stem cell science to enhance healing through its high concentration of growth factors. From orthopedics to aesthetics, PRP is transforming wound healing.
When used in conjunction with microneedling, the tiny perforations created during the treatment deliver the platelet-rich plasma to the deepest layers of the skin. This stimulates the growth of new, healthy skin cells which help smooth skin and scar tissue over time.
How is PRP Obtained?
Platelet-rich plasma comes from your blood. Your doctor will take a small vial of your blood and place it in an automated dual spin processing system (TruPRP), that delivers a high platelet concentration unlike other systems.
The combination of microneedling with PRP is more effective than microneedling alone or applying PRP alone. While both effective individually, it is the combination of the two treatments that provide a vital foundation necessary for maximum absorption, reduced healing time and optimal results.
