Beautologie Cosmetic Surgery & Medical Aesthetics
Customer service is key
As Beautologie Cosmetic Surgery & Medical Aesthetics prepares to celebrate 20 years of serving Kern County residents, it also recognizes 18 years of being included in the Best Of Readers’ Choice Poll.
Now a one-stop shop for all cosmetic services, Beautologie was conceived by its founder Dr. Darshan Shah, a specialist in plastic and reconstructive surgery, in 2003. One year later, Dr. Milan Shah, aesthetic medicine specialist, joined the practice bringing additional services.
Beautologie became one of the first comprehensive cosmetic surgery and laser institutes in the county, offering a wide array of surgical and nonsurgical aesthetics to Bakersfield and its surrounding communities’ ever-growing population. It continued to grow, moving from a two-physician, single location practice to a multicity, multispecialty operation with seven plastic surgeons and medical doctors, physician
assistants, registered nurses and patient care specialists serving not only Kern, but also Fresno, Riverside, San Joaquin, Los Angeles and Orange counties.
Beautologie means “the science of beauty,” and the business continues to be a leader in training nurses, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, residents and medical students.
It offers a variety of services including full
body sculpting, laser treatments for veins, hair and tattoo removal, fat reduction, skin tightening, face sculpting, a panoply of world-class injectables and hair transplant surgery.
The center also stays on the cutting edge of industry developments, taking part in the very first Juvederm trial, the first Newtox trial, and FDA approval studies for Venus Viva (skin resurfacing) and Venus Viva skin tightening system.
