Dr. Sarah Chen

MD, FAAD — Dermatology & Cosmetic Medicine

Dr. Sarah Chen is a fellowship-trained, board-certified dermatologist with over fourteen years of dedicated experience in aesthetic and cosmetic medicine. A graduate of Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons — one of the nation's most prestigious medical institutions — she completed her residency at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital and pursued advanced fellowship training in cosmetic dermatology at a nationally recognized skin center in New York City.

At Aurelia, Dr. Chen leads the clinic's skin health programs, overseeing individualized treatment plans for patients seeking meaningful improvement in skin quality, texture, pigmentation, and overall radiance. Her expertise spans the full spectrum of minimally invasive procedures: from nuanced injectable techniques to medical-grade facials and evidence-based laser protocols. Colleagues and patients alike commend her for the precision of her eye and the care she invests in understanding each person's unique anatomy before recommending any treatment.

She has lectured at regional dermatology conferences and contributed to peer-reviewed publications on melasma management and the long-term efficacy of combination rejuvenation protocols. Dr. Chen is a Fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology and maintains active membership in the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery. In her clinical practice, she is known equally for her technical skill and her ability to put even the most hesitant patients at ease.

Outside the clinic, Dr. Chen serves as a clinical instructor, mentoring the next generation of dermatology residents. She believes deeply that aesthetic medicine, when practiced with integrity and restraint, has the power to improve not only how patients look but how they feel — and that the most lasting results are always the ones that respect what is already there.

"Less is almost always more. The goal is never transformation — it is the quiet enhancement of what was always there."

Dr. James Park

MD — Injectables, Laser & Regenerative Aesthetics

Dr. James Park is a highly sought-after aesthetic physician whose practice sits at the intersection of clinical science and artistic vision. Trained at NYU School of Medicine and with subsequent specialty training in laser dermatology and cosmetic injectables, he has spent more than a decade refining an approach that prizes precision, proportion, and long-term facial harmony above all else. He joined Aurelia Aesthetics as a founding physician, drawn by the clinic's commitment to doctor-led care and its rejection of one-size-fits-all aesthetics.

Dr. Park's injectable technique has earned particular recognition for its subtlety. Specializing in volumetric assessment of the face, he maps each patient's anatomical structure before placing a single unit of toxin or a single syringe of filler — a methodical process that produces results so natural they are rarely identified as treated. His laser expertise is equally refined: he has trained extensively in both ablative and non-ablative platforms, and regularly performs complex multi-device sessions for skin resurfacing, vascular lesions, unwanted pigmentation, and hair removal.

He is a sought-after educator within the aesthetics community, having trained fellow physicians in advanced injection anatomy and laser protocols. His research interests include the biomechanics of facial aging, optimizing outcomes in patients with darker skin phototypes, and the emerging role of regenerative treatments — such as PRP and polynucleotides — in long-term skin health. Dr. Park is a member of the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery and has presented his clinical work at international aesthetic conferences.

Dr. Park brings a distinctly deliberate energy to every consultation. He is methodical where others are hurried, and thorough where others are broad. Patients frequently describe their sessions with him as educational — leaving not only with a treatment plan, but with a genuine understanding of their own skin, the options available, and what a realistic, sustainable aesthetic journey looks like for them specifically.

"Aesthetics is fundamentally a conversation between science and art. The best results emerge when neither discipline dominates the other."
