For the past 3-4 years of owning Modern Aesthetics, I’ve taken on one pro bono case each month. Sometimes that’s been an adolescent struggling with severe acne, an adult healing from long term effects of facial trauma, or a patient experiencing facial asymmetry after a stroke or Bell’s Palsy. More recently, my focus has been children living with alopecia.

You won’t find photos of these patients on my Instagram that was never the intention. These cases were about the special bond with each patient and their family. But what I can share is how much these kids have inspired me.

Recently, I began using plant-based stem cells for children with alopecia, most often Alopecia Areata and Telogen Effluvium. The results have been amazing . At first, I only shared these outcomes with the incredible company that distributes it. But soon, I was asked to speak on my anecdotal findings first in Calgary, then Orlando, and most recently in Denver.

At first I hesitated. Recognition was never the goal. But these patients’ stories deserved to be told. Their resilience amazed me not because of bullying or social struggle (they didn’t care what anyone thought), but because of the confidence they carried. And when their hair began to grow back, that confidence soared even higher. Hearing them laugh about experiencing things like “bed head” for the first time.

This past weekend in Denver, I was deeply honored to receive an award for the transformations achieved with this product. I am profoundly grateful:
• To the company I get to work with.
• To the patients and families who trusted me.
• And to the impact they have made on me just as much as I may have made on them.

While I haven’t asked for permission to post most of these transformations, (although I’m sure the would be ok with it)
I will be sharing a before and after photo of the very first young girl I treated. She was the one who inspired me to help many more.

This work has been one of the most meaningful parts of my career, and I’m humbled to share even a small part of it with you.
