In 2000 she acquainted herself with Dr. Sydney Coleman’s micro fat grafting technique in New York. In 2002 in order to offer the fat autologous muscle injection (FAMI) procedure to her patients, she received formal training from Dr. Roger Amar from, who is the inventor of FAMI procedure.

In 2002 she developed her passion and fascination for the emerging field of anti-aging medicine and the concept of preventing and reversing the aging process with state of the art medical care. Since then, she has been an active member in The World Congress of Anti-Aging Medicine.

Dr. Sand was among the first to add Mesotherapy technique to her practice in 2003. Her interest in the concept of Mesotherapy took her to Paris, where she received extensive training, with the International Society of Mesotherapy and the renowned Dr. Jacque Le Coz in the field of Mesotherapy.

Philosophy

Along with her enthusiasm for keeping abreast of all the latest cosmetic and anti-aging procedures from around the world, Dr. Sand attributes her success to her compassion, dedication, skill and technology that she brings to her practice and to her patients. Dr. Sand believes in open communication with her patients and in a language that is easy to understand. In terms of facial and body rejuvenation Dr. Sand retains a strong interest for “beauty” and passion for slowing and reversing the “aging process”. In order to better understand the concept of beauty and rejuvenation, as an artist, she has taken extensive human face and body drawing classes both in Paris and Los Angeles.

Here is Dr. Nancy Sand’s remarks in her own words:

“I am very pleased to have the opportunity to practice esthetic surgery in this exciting time. In the past few years, through the innovation and technologies that have been made available to us, there are wide arrays of options available to those individuals who want to explore their options and enhance their appearance. At times, for superior results I recommend a combination of procedures. In particular, I prefer procedures with little down time and a natural outcome. It has been extremely rewarding to me as a cosmetic surgeon to exercise these minimally invasive procedures. Further more, I have always been fascinated and wondered what we admire specifically in a beautiful face. After studying beauty with leaders in the field of cosmetic surgery, I learned that beauty is an ensemble of shape, volume and proportion and that the concept varies in different cultures. It is my pleasure to offer my patients the skill and art of rejuvenation for those who are in pursuit of a natural look.”
