Services
Botox Injections
Botox injections reduce fine lines and wrinkles by temporarily relaxing facial muscles. Ideal for dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive movements like frowning or squinting. Results appear within days and last 3-4 months, with Dr. Chiu's precise technique ensuring natural, subtle enhancements.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers restore volume and smooth wrinkles using hyaluronic acid or collagen-stimulating formulas. Target areas include cheeks, lips, and nasolabial folds. Dr. Chiu's expertise ensures balanced, age-defying results that mimic natural facial contours for a rejuvenated appearance.
CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting eliminates stubborn fat cells through controlled cooling technology. Non-invasive and FDA-cleared, it targets areas like the abdomen, thighs, and chin. Results become visible within weeks, with optimal outcomes after two to three months.
Laser Treatments
Laser treatments address pigmentation, texture irregularities, and signs of aging. Using fractionated or IPL technology, these procedures stimulate collagen production and improve skin tone. Customizable intensity ensures safe application for diverse skin types.
Body Contouring
Body contouring combines technologies like EMSCULPT and Vanquish to sculpt muscles and reduce fat. These treatments enhance definition in areas like the abdomen and buttocks without surgery. Sessions require no downtime, with progressive results over weeks.

Yesterday I bought 800.00 worth of products and didn't receive any samples when i got home i noticed i ordered the wrong product so i called to exchange the unopened and unused product I was told by unaccomodating Cindy that I can't return or exchange the product for the one I actually need. This is bad customer service and I'm upset that I'm stick with a $172.00 product i don't need. Don't make a mistake here you won't be accommodated at all. Bad customer service!

I love Annie Chiu! Having Dr. Chiu work on your face is like having your most trusted friend, who wants you to look your absolute best, work on your face. She takes her time and gets it right. She makes all the right suggestions and keeps it so natural looking. I trust her sooo much!!! Everyone needs something different and she seems to obsess over the fact that fillers and botox are not a one size fits all kind of thing.Her staff is great..and the products are amazing. The daily glow pads are life changing. I highly, highly, highly recommend.

I strongly recommend Dr. Chiu. I met her when I lived in Hermosa Beach and absolutely loved her results and professionalism. I moved up to the LA area and have met many other top doctors like her, at the end, I decided to return to her last year. I drive down here to see her because she is totally worth it. She is extremely good at what she does and her staff is always sweet and willing to help in any way they can.
