Dr. Soleiman’s approach is rooted in a “less is more” philosophy — enhancing natural features rather than altering them. This commitment to safe, natural-looking results is reinforced by her advanced certification in MD Codes®, a precision injection technique developed by Dr. Mauricio de Maio — a distinction held by only 30 practitioners nationwide. Dr. Soleiman is one of just 8 certified MD Codes® physicians in the United States.
