About Me

Hello! I’m Dora, owner and practitioner of Park Belle Aesthetica. I have undergraduate degrees in nursing and biochemistry, and a masters in nursing from Columbia University. I have been a Nurse Anesthetist and RN for over 10 years in critical care, working in Seattle, New York and most recently San Francisco. While I find it fulfilling to work in a hospital setting, I found a new passion for aesthetics when I experienced the need for aesthetic services myself. In the setting of stress I developed permanent Bell’s Palsy on one side of my face and one of the things that fell into my options for intervention and recovery was the use of botox on my unaffected side to restore function and symmetry. This changed my life and gave me a new perspective on what aesthetic interventions can truly do for people, and I decided to pursue a new career in medical aesthetics! I hope to do the same for someone else and hope that I can help everyone feel as confident as I did when I got my first injection. In addition to injectables I love skincare everything! Korean skincare regimens have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I love nothing more than discussing the latest and greatest in Korean skin care.

My approach is to have a light touch to achieve balance and highlight your natural features. I tend to lean towards enhancing your natural glow and working with what beautiful aspects you already have. My mission is to understand and see what you find beautiful and work together to achieve that goal.
