SANDI K. CHOE
Family Nurse Practitioner
Board Certified
Board Certified
As a board-certified Nurse Practitioner and a medical professional first, Sandi K Choe for most of her 25-year career became a trusted advisor to friends and family seeking advice and opinions on various conditions and treatment regimens. Several years ago, Sandi noticed a growing interest in cosmetic and injectable procedures among her friends and acquaintances. Always passionate about aesthetics, her research on their behalf led her to become interested in the field of helping people look their best without sacrificing safety and convenience. After the opportunity to train with a famed industry expert, Sandi capitalized on her extensive medical expertise, education and professional network to start her business offering services like neuromodulator injections and dermal filler treatments using FDA-approved products at a successful rejuvenation center. Sandi’s warm and caring personality combined with flawless results smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles has propelled her career in this arena.
As time went on, Sandi realized many of her clients (not unlike herself), are busy. Between family and professional commitments, making appointments and travelling to various office locations during business hours was nearly impossible. They wanted to look their best but wished they could have more flexibility in scheduling outside of standard office hours and workdays.
Sandi realized there was another gap she could fill in providing her services more conveniently. She created SKC Beauty and vowed to make “youthful beauty…never easier” for her clients and has added concierge service along with in-home procedures for individuals and groups performing treatments in her office and home locations. In addition to the enjoying the flexibility she provides, Sandi is noticing her clients are more relaxed by the comfort and privacy her in-home treatments afford them.
Now you can return to the fresh, natural beauty of your youth and restore your confidence without leaving the privacy and comfort of your own home or choose one of the conveniently located offices. Let SKC be your beauty secret.

BOTOX ®:
Botulinum toxin "botox" is a neurotoxin protein that is derived from Clostridium botulinum bacterium. When injected in small quantities into the muscles in our face, it acts as a neuromuscular blocking agent, which prevents the muscles in our face to contract, thereby temporarily preventing wrinkle formation. BOTOX ® is FDA approved for a variety of cosmetic indications such as for the temporary treatment of moderate to severe glabellar (the wrinkles between your brows) frown lines in adults 18-65 yrs. Other off label uses include, wrinkles in the upper and lower face, crows feet, forehead, neck, chest and correction of facial asymmetries.
Dysport:
Like BOTOX ®, Dysport ® is another neuromodulator derived from botulinum toxin Type A. Both must be injected approximately every 3-4 mos and both have a gradual onset, anywhere from 2-7 days, maximum results seen at 14 days. Dysport ® has a quicker onset than BOTOX ®, usually 2 days. Both have similar duration. The difference between the two products is that Dysport is a smaller sized molecule, so the unit measurement is different than BOTOX ®. The conversion ratio is 3:1. So if you were getting 30 units of botox, you would get 90 units of Dysport ® injected.
Dermal Fillers:
RESTYLANE ® and JUVÉDERM ® are just some of the fillers SKC beauty injects. They are both Hyaluronic acid (HA) based fillers. Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of the body that is one of the 3 major constituents in our dermis. Collagen and elastin are the other 2 proteins to help support the dermis. Hyaluronic acid helps trap water and add volume and shape to our skin. With HA based dermal fillers, the effects are instant and continue to work as time goes on. They reverse the signs of aging by instantly correcting, enhancing and restoring volume to a more youthful state. Some of the areas D.F. are used to treat are the: nasolabial folds, marionette lines, enhancement of lips, and used to replace soft-tissue volume loss. Depending on the area being treated, dermal fillers can last anywhere between 6-12 months. They are both FDA approved. Come in for your free consult. This non-surgical procedure, with no downtown, and lasting results, may be just what you need to achieve your more youthful look! With any cosmetic procedure, notify your healthcare provider of any medical history and medications taken. Some of the common side effects of HA fillers can be mild swelling, bruising. Again, tell your provider if you are on any blood thinners. No allergy testing is required.
Smoothing Threads:
PDO (polydioxanone) threads are another non-surgical treatment to consider when Botox or dermal fillers do not work. PDO threads can treat wrinkles in the face and neck/upper chest by stimulating the fibrin and elastin in our skin to produce collagen. Collagen acts as the major support protein in our dermis. PDO threads are biodegradable, meaning they naturally dissolve over 6-8 months, but the threads leave behind lasting effects long after the sutures have dissolved. The thread is placed right underneath the dermis with a small needle, and when the thread is left behind in our dermis, it can also create an instant mechanical lift to the wrinkle, and tighten the skin by contracting the underlying fat and muscle, as well as stimulating collagen production. Some areas that can be treated with PDO smoothing threads are: nasolabial folds, marionette lines, lipstick lines, scars on the face, and small wrinkles on the cheeks. PDO smoothing threads can last anywhere from 12-18 months. Some common side effects are mild soreness for 3-5 days, and mild swelling for 3-5 days.
MINT ® PDO Lifting Threads:
MINT® PDO is available for any part of the face where loose skin is causing you grief, but most patients opt for a lower face procedure to improve the appearance of sagging skin in the cheeks, neck and jawline that cannot be effectively targeted with botox and fillers. One of the most attractive benefits of this procedure is the cost. As there is no invasive surgery to perform, the thread procedures typically cost on average half of what a standard facelift will cost. By choosing this procedure, you minimize the risk of complications after the procedure so that you can simply enjoy your fresher, younger look!

Testimonials
I am pleased to recommend SKC Beauty for all your beauty needs. It is important for me to look natural and not as if I have had any "Injectables". Sandi took the time to speak with me and made sure we were on the same page in regard to what I was looking for. The extra time spent with me enabled her to deliver exactly what I was looking for. I look refreshed and natural not frozen or harsh. In addition to her professionalism and awesome work, I appreciate the fact that I didn’t feel like I was being “pushed” into anything. I have been to these "beauty spas" where they offer great deals on injectables but don't deliver. To them, the individual seems more of a sales opportunity and personal preference seems to take a back-seat to profit. I have received numerous compliments since incorporating SKSkincare into my beauty routine. I am more confident which is not only evident on the outside, but I have been told, shines from within. Thank you so much Sandi! I am your most grateful customer!E.P. - Florida, NY
I have been using Botox and Dysport for many years. When I heard Sandi Choe FNP-BC was now providing this service I decided to have her administer my next injections. I am absolutely thrilled with the results. In the past, some injectors have rushed through the injections without asking any questions. Often I've had to return to get the effect to the level I desired. Sandi, took the time to listen to what I wanted to achieve and to discuss my apprehensions. There was no pressure to buy more though she provided options for future beauty enhancements. She is very warm, friendly and accommodating. I will be back!J.C. - W Nyack, NY
I cannot say enough about how wonderful my experience with Sandi was. I have been getting Botox and Fillers for several years with other doctors. Over the years I have been to both Plastic Surgeons and Dermatologists to administer my Botox and Fillers. Each and every time I was unsatisfied with the results and either had a cartoonish appearance or lack of noticeable changes. I was frustrated and almost gave up until I was referred to Sandi by a friend who raved about her results. I have never been happier!She is an absolute perfectionist and takes her time to ensure that her clients are completely satisfied. She listens to what you want and defines clear expectations about results as well as cost. Her prices are extremely reasonable and her results have by far surpassed and of my prior experiences. I have never had better, more natural looking results ever. I give Sandi my absolute highest recommendation, you will not be disappointed!L.L. - Suffern, NY
