Divine skincare and finding the right provider with Shyanie Kumar.

On today’s episode of Divine Details I sit down with Shyanie Kumar, MD. Shyanie is the Founder and Medical Director of Skin Medical Aesthetics and a Trauma Surgeon at Saint Anthony Hospital in Denver, Colorado. She first became interested in aesthetics while struggling with severe cystic acne in her 20s. She underwent many failed treatments and procedures until she finally met the right provider where she learned that detailed consultation with comprehensive skin case therapies results in a successful outcome.   Shyanie wants to provide a place where clients can trust their providers. She wants each client to know that at Skin! Denver they will receive in depth consultations and only be recommended treatments that will work for them. No gimmicks, no over selling and no wild promises that do not pan out only amazing results.   Skin!
