By appointment only · Brooklyn Heights
The quiet art of looking like yourself.
Korean-style skin treatments and a small, deliberate set of IV infusions, provided by one clinician in a private suite at 1 Boerum Place, Brooklyn Heights.
The practice
Small by design. Every treatment performed by me, from start to finish.
FaceSPec is a one-person practice, and I intend to keep it that way. I see a limited number of patients each week, by appointment only.
The work is subtle on purpose. My patients tend to hear “you look well-rested,” not “what did you do?” If you want a dramatic change, I’m probably not your clinician. If you want to look like yourself on a very good day, I am.
jeongseong — the Korean word for devoted, painstaking care: attention given fully, without hurry. It is the standard I hold for every appointment.
More points. Smaller doses. The Seoul method.
The Seoul method
Trained where the technique was born
I trained in person in Gangnam, Seoul — the center of Korean aesthetic medicine — over multiple intensive stays, spending twelve-hour days treating patients alongside a Korean physician. What I brought home is a technique and a temperament.
Skin Botox, Korea’s signature treatment, places very small doses across many fine injection points near the surface of the skin, rather than a few deep ones. Patients choose it for refined pores, smoother texture, and less oil — the polished, luminous skin Korean clinics are known for — while the face keeps its full range of expression.
Treatments
A short list, done well
I · Injectable aesthetics
Skin Botox — the Glow Facial signature
Korea’s signature microinjection treatment: fine doses across the surface of the skin. Patients choose it for refined pores, smoother texture, and glow. Also offered combined with Traditional Botox in a single session.
Traditional Botox
Forehead lines, frown lines, crow’s feet — one to three areas. I dose conservatively, what many call baby Botox, so your face still moves.
Focused Botox
Lip flip, gummy smile, bunny lines, chin. Also jaw tension and contour (TMJ), neckline definition, and underarm sweating (hyperhidrosis). Commonly performed; whether they’re right for you is assessed at your consultation.
SkinVive skin booster
Hyaluronic acid — a molecule your skin already makes — placed as microdroplets beneath the skin of the cheeks. FDA-approved to improve cheek smoothness, lasting around six months; patients also choose it for the hydrated look it gives.
PRP under-eye
Your own platelet-rich plasma, prepared in-suite and returned to the under-eye area — a gradual, biological approach to dark circles, hollows, and fine lines.
II · IV therapy
A limited set of infusions
Each has a specific purpose. I placed IVs for ten years in emergency rooms and intensive care; a brief health review precedes every infusion.
The Renewal · The Freedom · The Glory
Three vitamin-mineral blends built on magnesium, calcium, activated B12, B complex, and vitamin C. The Freedom adds double vitamin C and zinc — most often chosen around travel and demanding seasons. The Glory adds biotin and glutathione — the blend patients choose for skin and hair.
Antioxidants & NAD+
Glutathione is an antioxidant your body produces on its own; I offer it by IV as a single treatment or an add-on. Alpha-lipoic acid is another antioxidant, given at 250 mg. NAD+ is a molecule every cell uses to make energy; levels decline with age. Infused slowly, dosed up to 500 mg. IV nutrient therapy is elective wellness support. These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA, and these infusions are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Shots & add-ons
Consultations never obligate treatment.
“Botox” is used here the way patients use it — as shorthand for botulinum toxin.
I work with two FDA-approved products, Jeuveau and Xeomin.
About
Seolhee Patel, NP
I earned my bachelor’s degree in South Korea, where I received the Young Nightingale Award as the top student, and began my career in a surgical intensive care unit. I then spent ten years in emergency departments across the NYC area — work that shaped the clinical judgment and attention to detail behind every treatment I perform.
At NYU I earned my master’s degree as a recipient of the William Randolph Hearst Endowed Scholarship, and I am a board-certified nurse practitioner licensed in New York. For several years I also worked in comfort care, where caring for patients at the end of life taught me to listen carefully, never rush, and treat every person with dignity.
I trained in aesthetic medicine in Gangnam, Seoul, and completed advanced aesthetic medical education in New York City.
What to expect
Three steps
Consultation
Every appointment begins with a conversation. I’ll tell you honestly what I would do, what I wouldn’t — and if a treatment isn’t right for you, I’ll say so.
Treatment
In the private suite, once we’ve agreed on a plan.
Follow-up
I check results at two weeks and refine if needed.
You won’t find my patients’ faces online; I don’t post them. At your consultation, I can share consented before-and-after photographs privately.
