Eden Leyanna MSN, NP, Founder
Skin care has always been a passion of mine. My philosophy & focus is to enhance each client’s natural beauty while thoughtfully respecting their unique and native features. I believe it takes committed effort to look “natural” and I have the knowledge, tools, and skills to achieve this. It is my honor to provide each of my clients with personalized skin therapy.
I embarked on this aesthetic path about 18 years ago and I am fortunate to have patients locally and nationally that resonate with my philosophy. I’ve primarily worked in West Hollywood—arguably one of the most prestigious areas in aesthetics—known for setting the highest standards in beauty trends throughout the world. My expertise was built through training from the top experts in my field and exposure to the most innovative medical treatments.
I’m a California native born from a medical family—a product of a Neurosurgeon and a Registered Nurse whose influence shaped me into the Nurse Practitioner that I am today. I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from USC and my Master of Science and Family Nurse Practitioner from UCLA. After working years in acute care and family practice medicine, I focused on aesthetic medicine.
Creating this boutique gem in Encino, California has been a long time in the making. Taking this step has afforded me the independence to stay true to my skin care philosophy and practiced expertise. I’m dedicated to the provision of safe, ethical, and evidence-based treatments that yield beautiful yet natural results.
On a lighter note, when I am not talking skin, I’ve been married for 24 years, we have 2 kids and 2 dogs, and are living a cliché California life in the “burbs.”
OUR MISSION
It takes a committed effort to look this effortlessly natural….wink wink ;)
Lori Solomon MSN, NP-C
Lori is a seasoned Nurse Practitioner with 11 years of aesthetic medical experience. As an aesthetics NP she has worked in a high-profile Weho skin clinic delivering expert care with a specialized focus in laser therapies and a variety of cutting edge medical grade technologies which are extremely impactful result-driven anti-aging tools. She additionally has an expert hand with the administration of neuromodulator injections and will be an incredible asset to our Skin Therapy family. I (Eden), can attest to her polished professionalism, knowledge and skill , as having worked with her for several years and I even had a role in her early training days. This is why I am confident in Lori’s ability to deliver safe, effective and natural-looking results. What may be one of her most impressive qualities, is Lori’s ability to authentically connect with her clients. She passionately devotes herself to her clients and tailors a personalized skin care regimen for each individual. Lori shared candidly with me that she believes in a holistic approach combining targeted treatments with evidence-based intervals and maintenance rooted in science in addition to lifestyle modifications that focus on health promotion. She also shared that what truly feeds her soul are the relationships she has built with her clients and she doesn’t take for granted the trust they instill in her to guide them through their skincare journey.
Fun Facts: Her secret sauce is her magical touch because she was first a licensed Esthetician prior to becoming a medical provider. She also is a California native and enjoys spending quality family time with her husband and 2 young boys, ages almost 4 years old and her newest addition 3 months old.
Zully Benitez, Office Manager
Zully is our office manager, aka concierge care director, but she is literally the point person that holds our office together and she is devoted to this practice with a professionalism that is unparalleled by most. She has more than 8 years of experience in medical aesthetics and patient coordination. Her ability to shoulder the demands of the front office and back office with the utmost professionalism is quite impressive and seemingly effortless. She exudes positivity and is committed to providing our clients with an excellent experience, and can handle the most difficult of scenarios. She also has developed impressive social media marketing skills from frequent documentation of clinic highlights, with a self taught expertise that is comparable to most seasoned social media professionals.
Fun Facts: When she isn’t juggling work responsibilities in heels, no doubt, with perfect hair and makeup, you can find her adventuring with her 3-year-old son or testing a new recipe in the kitchen. She loves skin care and all things feminine and is valued beyond measure!
