ABOUT US

Meet Tracy - Nurse Practitioner

I understand what it is like to be an over stimulated consumer in the beauty industry, full of of creams and potions with elaborate, often unrealistic advertising campaigns. Navigating the aesthetic space is confusing. As a board-certified Nurse Practitioner specializing in aesthetics since 2011, I've dedicated my career to helping individuals make informed decisions about their appearance and skin health, ensuring they feel confident and empowered in their choices.

Unlike many others in my field, aesthetic nursing has been my sole focus throughout my medical career. My previous role as an aesthetic sales representative and trainer for the products I now inject has provided me with invaluable insights that I bring to my current practice in medical aesthetics.

With over 3000 hours of specialized training under the guidance of leading plastic surgeons and cosmetic dermatologists nationwide, I bring a wealth of experience and expertise to my practice. I completed my BSN/RN through Stratford University's accelerated program before earning my MSN/AGPCNP from Vanderbilt University, where I was selected based on academic excellence.

Using my knowledge of facial anatomy, clinical training, and expertise in cosmetic treatments, I provide preventative and restorative beauty enhancements that are safe, effective, and not overdone.

I believe in normalizing self-care, in not dismissing a patient’s concern no matter how detailed, and view makeup as a complement to balanced facial proportions and great skin health. Above all, I believe that everyone deserves effortless, radiant beauty!

Sunscreen

THROWING SHADE SUNSCREEN is finally here!

I went back and forth for about a year to find the perfect formulation for a sunscreen. Selfishly, I did it bc I couldn’t find a sunscreen with all the attributes I personally wanted. It is a 100% mineral sunscreen that provides powerful UV protection, nourishing hydration, and blends effortlessly with all skin tones for a dewy glow.

> Non-comedogenic - Who doesn’t strive for clear pores?! I found other sunscreens were leaving my skin congested and greasy.

> No chemicals, sulfates, or parabens - Safe for sensitive and acne prone skin. It also makes the sunscreen “reef safe”.

> Light universal tint - I wanted to omit chemicals and the avoid chalky look that some physical sunscreens leave on the skin so I opted for neutral tint…just to keep us from looking pasty.

> SPF 44 and water resistant 40 minutes - UVA, UVB, infrared, and blue light protection

> Not tested on animals

> Light moisture - Want more coverage? Try adding a few drops of your favorite foundation to the sunscreen; it blends fantastically.

> 2 Pumps = full face coverage

how do I book an appointment?

Please click BOOK NOW from the contacts page. 

Please note that I am committed to providing all of my patients with exceptional care.
When a patient cancels without giving enough notice they prevent another patient from being seen.

Please provide 24-hours notice to avoid cancellation/late reschedule fees.
You may provide notice by calling 202.742.3999 (leave a message if necessary) or by logging in to your patient portal to cancel/reschedule. If notification is not given 24 hour prior to your originally scheduled appointment time, you will be charged $300 for the missed/late reschedule appointment. We do not have the ability to override this practice policy.

How much does a consultation cost?

In-person consultations are $150 and this charge can be applied to any service provided on the same day with that specific provider.

I recommend discussing all of your concerns at your consult even if you plan to schedule them separately in the future.

You will be asked to provide your credit card in order make an appointment. At that time you will also be asked to acknowledge the 24 hour no show/cancellation/reschedule policy of $300. The credit card will only be charged in the case of failure to cancel or reschedule your appointment (including consultations) 24 hours prior to the originally scheduled appointment time. We do not store credit cards for payment of services.

When should I schedule my appointment?

Schedule your appointment at least 2 weeks before attending any special event.  Bruising and swelling may be apparent during that time period.  Reschedule your appointment at least 24 hours in advance if you have a rash, cold sore or blemish on the area to be treated.

I want to get wedding ready. When should I start?

Ideally, at least 3 months prior to the the big day. I want you to look your very best this means we need to allow time for skin recovery from a new skin care routine or any potential swelling or bruising to resolve. Some treatments which involve multiple treatment sessions like those using Qwo, Kybella, Sculptra, and microneedling need to begin 4-6 months out so that optimal results can be achieved. Please contact me to schedule a time to chat and plan customized timeline.

What should I do before I come in for treatment?

Do not consume alcoholic beverages at least 24 hours prior to treatment as the risk of bruising is increased.

Avoid anti-inflammatory/blood thinning medications, if possible, for 3 days before treatment: aspirin, vitamin E, ginkgo biloba, ginseng, St. John’s Wort, turmeric, Omega 3/Fish Oil supplements, Ibuprofen, Motrin, Advil, and Aleve all have a blood thinning effect and can increase the risk of bruising after injections. Should you have had any of these, please note they should not affect your end result. They simply increase your risk of bruising and recovery from the bruise.

Contact me if you have a history of cold sores or “fever blisters” so that a medication can be prescribed 2 days prior to your appointment to minimize a recurrence.

Where should I park?

Street parking usually available. Paid parking is available beneath our building, 2440 M St NW; unfortunately, we do not validate. Parking is also available 24/7 across the street at 2445 M St NW and the fee is lower that that of our building.

How can I reduce Swelling?

The under eye area and lips typically swell the most. 

Under eye swelling may take up to 2 weeks to resolve therefore, touchups are not usually made until after the 2 week mark.

Tips to reduce swelling:
-Day 1 (post treatment)= Apply a cold compress for 5 min. every 30 min. for the first few hours if possible.
-Keep your head elevated as much as possible for the first 24 hours .
-Take Benadryl, as directed, at bedtime on the day of treatment - this will make you sleepy…no alcohol, no driving.
-Sleep at 45 degree angle - use pillows to prop yourself up.
-Day 2 = Use warm compress on and off to increase circulation and help the swelling move out.
-Arnica is a homeopathic remedy for bruising and swelling. It may be used pre and post treatment. It comes in a topical and oral form - both are sold at Whole Foods or can be bought online.

Note: Swelling peaks usually peaks at 48 hours

What should I do if I get cold sores / fever blisters?

If you have a history of cold sores please let me know.  You may be put on an anti-viral medication prior to treatment.

I am breastfeeding; can I still book an appointment?

You are not a candidate for aesthetic injectable procedures if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

How much will it cost?

Several factors determine the final cost including the amount of product needed, which product(s) are used, the number of sessions within a complete treatment, and if a combination therapy is used achieve complete correction.

Book your complimentary consultation today to discuss your areas of concern and cost estimate.

What should I expect after a filler treatment?

You may experience some bruising and swelling.

Swelling typically peaks at 48 hours.  To minimize swelling, sleep at a 45-degree angle for the first few nights after treatment.  Bruises typically resolve within 14 days.  There are homeopathic treatments to help resolve bruising faster.

It is normal for the areas injected with a dermal filler to feel firm for the first few days after treatment.  Over the next few weeks, the area will soften as the product integrates with your own tissue.

If you have previously suffered from facial cold sores there is a risk that the needle punctures could contribute to another occurrence.  Please let me know as medications can be prescribed to minimize a recurrence.

Can I wear makeup after my treatment?

Makeup may be gently applied shortly after treatment.

What should I expect after my Botox / Dysport treatment?

You may have bruises in the areas treated.

You may have raised or red areas post treatment which will subside within a few hours.

What should I avoid doing after my Botox / Dysport TreatMENT?

Do not rub or massage the treated areas for 24 hours after your treatment.

Do not practice Yoga or any type of strenuous exercise for 24 hours after treatment.

Avoid facials or saunas for 24 hours after your treatment.

Do not wear swimming goggles for 24 hours after treatment.

Do not have your eyebrows tweezed, waxed, or threaded for 24 hours after treatment.

Do not lie down for 4 hours after treatment.

Do not where a baseball cap or tightly fitting hat for 24 hours.

Use a GENTLE touch and avoid rubbing during facial cleansing on the evening of your treatment.

Basically, folks…don’t do anything that would logically move the neurotoxin from exactly where I put it for 24 hours.

When will my Botox / Dysport start working?

It can take up to 14 days for you to experience the full effect of the treatment however, many people see Dysport take effect in 1-3 days and Botox in 5-7 days.

How long will my Botox / Dysport last?

The average patient will see 3-4 months in duration.  There are patients that may experience longer or shorter durations.

What is Prevenative Botox / Dysport and when should I start?

Check out my blog - Preventative Botox? Really? Really.

How long will my filler treatment last?

Several factors determine filler duration including the amount of product that was used, which product(s) are used, the number of sessions within a complete treatment, and where the filler is placed.  Typically, the more muscle movement you have in a treated area, the shorter the duration.  Products on the market today can last between 6-24 months.  However, patients that may experience longer or shorter duration periods.

MICRONEEDLING:

How do I preserve the effects of the treatment?

• 3 treatments 1-2 mo. a part for fine lines and pigmentation

• 6 treatments 1-2 mo. a part for acne scarring (Use caution in over promising results for acne scaring. It is not beneficial for deep "ice pick” scars - they need CO2 or J-Plasma resurfacing.)

• Maintenance treatment 1-2 times a year after the initial series of 3.

What is the difference in Microneedling and Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is done dry and typically for pain relief.

In microneedling the purpose of the treatment is to create micro-injuries to promote new skin tissue growth.  When you create a micro-injury the skin begins to repair. This includes: 

• rebuilding collagen and elastin - helps with fine lines, skin tone and texture

• encouraging melanocyte cells to repair themselves – helps with melasma, sunspots, and discoloration

Does it hurt?

It is considered a comfortable procedure usually rated a 1/10 on a pain scale.  A topical numbing agent it used.  The procedure can be done without a topical numbing agent however, for your comfort this is not recommended.  We also offer Pro-Nox , patient-controlled inhaled analgesia, which eases pain and anxiety. Skinpen utilizes 14 needles and a range of 0.25 – 1.5mm. The depth of the needle is customize for each area of your face.

What should I know pre-procedure?

• Discontinue use of topical retinoids 72 hours prior to procedure.

• Cannot be performed during active acne.

• Allow at least 24 hours after autoimmune therapies

• Wait six months following oral isotretinoin (Accutane) use.

What is PrO-NOX? 

Pro-Nox™ is a pneumatically driven gas system designed to deliver a 50% oxygen and 50% nitrous oxide mixture to patients for the relief of pain and anxiety in a medical setting. The onset, effect, and recovery are quick. You can even drive yourself home. It’s Analgesia not Anesthesia!

This appointment type allows you to know your provider, point out areas of concern, have your questions answered, and get pricing estimates.  This appointment will be relaxed - no need for makeup or fancy filters.  A fresh face and natural lighting is ideal.
