Meet Your Expert Guide:

Dr. James Chang

Dr. Chang isn’t your average injector. He’s a nationally recognized aesthetics expert, Galderma trainer, and former Top 10 Dysport Injector in the country.

With a background in both clinical precision and aesthetic artistry, Dr. Chang tailors every treatment to enhance—not erase—your natural beauty.

When you choose Modern Aesthetic Institute, you’re working with one of the country’s most trusted names in facial injectables.

Your Goals. Our Custom Tailored Plan.

We never take a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we co-create a plan based on your features, lifestyle, and vision for how you want to look and feel.

Our patients come to us with goals like:

The Secret to Looking Natural is not Less it is Balance

At Modern Aesthetic Institute, natural-looking doesn’t mean minimal. It means strategic. Harmonized. Confidently you.

Here’s what sets our approach apart.

Facial Harmony

We work in proportion to your natural bone structure and symmetry.

Movement Preservation

You’ll still express yourself—just with fewer wrinkles.

Layered Treatment Plans

We often build your look over time to avoid the “overfilled” effect.

Our Most Popular Treatments

Botox Or Dysport

Softens frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles with refined precision. You’ll look rested—not frozen.

 

Hyaluronic Acid Fillers

Softens frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles with refined precision. You’ll look rested—not frozen.

 

Sculptra

Stimulates your body’s own collagen to create gradual, long-lasting rejuvenation—a patient favorite for subtle, natural lift.

 
 

When People Notice—But Can not Quite Tell Why

“No one knew what I did—just that I looked amazing”

That’s our goal. When friends ask if you’ve been sleeping better or changed your skincare routine—but never if you had “work” done—you know it was done right.

 

Why Experience Matters More Than Ever

In a landscape full of pop-up med spas, credentials matter. Dr. Chang brings decades of anatomical study, injector training, and true aesthetic artistry.

It’s why patients come from across Kern County and even Santa Barbara to sit in his chair.

 

Our patients report feeling more confident in:
