About the Founder

---

A Diplomate of the American Board of Surgery and the American Board of Plastic Surgery, Dr. Steve Laverson has operated the Feel Beautiful aesthetic franchise in San Diego, CA since 1993. Dr. Laverson opened the first retail aesthetic surgical office in the United States in 1999 and offered medical aesthetic services to the public from that Carlsbad, CA location before Botox® was FDA approved for cosmetic indications and before the market introduction of hyaluronic acid fillers. He has been a consultant and/or medical director of numerous Southern California Med-Spa businesses. Despite a busy face, breast, and body plastic surgery schedule, his office remains a destination for those seeking premium topical prescriptions, scientifically curated skin care products, and exceptional results from non-surgical aesthetic treatments. 

Dr. Laverson believes that regardless of education, training, background, or certifications, practitioners are most successful when traditionally high surgical standards of practice and professionalism are applied to evaluation and management of medical aesthetic patients, clients, and consumers.
