Dr. Harper has dedicated many years developing her unique vision for helping people achieve health, beauty, and wellness. As a Board Certified Internist, Dr. Harper's approach to healthy, beautiful skin evolved from her extensive study and in-depth knowledge across multiple disciplines including science, biochemistry, aesthetics, health, and nutrition. She created her medical and skincare practices, Nutritional Medicine Associates and The Laser & Skincare Clinic, based on this industry-altering approach.

Dr. Harper’s ongoing success serving the health and beauty industries is based primarily on her innovative integration of nutritional science and advanced aesthetics. In 2000, she created her first line of customized aesthetic treatments and skincare products, gaining national recognition for the line’s effectiveness and contribution to both the medical and cosmetic communities. Now in 2011, Dr. Harper has once again set a new standard in skincare knowledge and philosophy with her unprecedented line of genetically based skincare products unlike anything else available today.

Dr. Harper has undergone extensive training with world-leading aesthetics experts on advanced anti-aging injection techniques. All our injectable treatments are administered by Dr. Harper herself. As a medical doctor, she understands facial anatomy and the art of restorative aesthetics, and she applies this knowledge with each and every patient to provide exceptional results.

Dr. Harper continues to be a passionate, public advocate of beauty, health, and happy living. She began her career as an emergency room physician and later became director of the emergency department where she practiced. She turned to wellness-based medicine in 1993 after realizing that modern medicine provides ways to treat disease, but it is not designed to aggressively prevent disease. She is a national public speaker on topics concerning health, wellness, anti-aging, and skincare, and she has held a research associate position at the University of Texas, Austin, where she conducted extensive nutritional research.

Dr. Harper maintains a highly trained staff of skincare specialists who can help you understand your skin’s specific needs and provide treatments and products customized to work most effectively with your individual skin.
