What first inspired your interest in health and skin care? My passion for skin began in my native country, Persia, where skin care and wellness is still considered highly valuable and important. As a young girl in Persia— considered by some to be the “Mecca” of skin care—I grew up visiting hammams (steam rooms) and spas on a weekly basis 14
What were some of your early influences?
from the age of six. As an adult, my love for radiant skin grew into a driving passion. My mission is to help every individual to feel confident and give them hope so they begin to love their skin, the largest organ in the body, once again.
I was particularly affected by my grandmother’s experience when she was undergoing chemotherapy for cancer. I remember touching her skin and feeling how papery and thin it had become because of the treatment. My flagship collagen product developed with green apple stem cells was something I created in part because I wanted to help people recovering from cancer. The collagen product helps undo some of the damage caused by the medicine.
What is your specialty?
What is different about your proprietary skin care line?
Skin education is my passion and I travel the world presenting at conferences and events. I always say, “Laser is my business, skin is my passion.” I specialize in combining the science of aesthetic laser with the ancient world of skin care. I use a unique laser technique which provides nearly painless treatments for laser hair removal, and collagen and skin rejuvenation. I work

I formulated my own premium quality skin care product line through many years of scientific research with 100 percent botanical sources, including fruit stem cells. I’m particularly proud of Collagen-Elastin Gel with Apple Stem Cells; it is an innovative formula derived from botanical sources that actively stimulates the growth of the protein collagen in the epidermis.
