About Leticia
I am a Brazilian Board-Certified Dermatologist, MD, with over 20 years of extensive practice in Brazil, one of the most advanced countries in aesthetic medicine and cosmetic dermatology. Throughout my career, I have learned from the best Brazilian and international dermatologists and acquired vast experience in Medical Aesthetics and Dermatology, including cosmetic “Botox,” injectable Dermal fillers, minor surgery (cryotherapy and electrosurgery), and advanced skincare.
As a DermoNaturopath and Double Doctor, I combine my medical and dermatological knowledge with my integrative and naturopathic background to provide you with modern, personalized, safe cosmetic dermatology and aesthetics treatments. I will guide you on your Healthy and Positive Aging Journey.
