She knows what happens to the tissues and features with age, and she knows how to improve these undeniable changes. In short, she knows exactly what to do to make an individual look his or her absolute best, and she makes it a point to always stay abreast of the most advanced, cutting-edge procedures, always to the benefit of her patients.

As a board-certified facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Halaas brings 19 years of surgical experience to the table, having performed 1200 “Local” Facelifts with the highest satisfaction rate and lowest complication rate on the East Coast. Beyond her impressive success rate as a facial plastic surgeon, her pivotal studies into EmSculpt and EmSculpt Neo resulted in important discoveries around the death of fat cells and the growth of muscle cells. And in 2021, Dr. Halaas was elected Chairperson of her society’s (AAFPRS) Emerging Trends and Technology.
