Nurse Anastasiya specializes in facial balancing and structural restoration. At Acta, our approach is to treat the whole face holistically, moving away from the practice of treating single-treatment areas such as just doing lips. This is because treating only one area can result in further imbalance and exaggeration of the face. We aim to ensure that the whole face is in the same decade and flows seamlessly together all the way down the neck and decolletage. Therefore, if you wish to see Nurse Anastasiya, ideally we would need to treat your whole face in one visit. However, we can also break up the investment into sessions to make it more manageable.

* Price based on consultation
* Service cannot be done before traveling
* No dental work 2 weeks prior to appointment or 2 weeks post
