When you choose Modern Aesthetic Institute, you’re working with one of the country’s most trusted names in facial injectables.
- Nationally Recognized Aesthetics Expert
- Former Top 10 Dysport Injector
- Clinical Precision & Aesthetic Artistry
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:
- Softening forehead lines without freezing expression
- Contouring the cheeks or jawline with subtle lift
- Brightening tired under-eyes without looking "done"
- Restoring lip volume while keeping shape authentic
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:
- Photos
- Meetings
- Everyday life
