Every injectable treatment at Bellava MedAesthetics is physician-led. Our medical director, Donna D’Alessio, MD, leads the aesthetic injector team — here in Bedford Hills and at our sister practice, Montville MedSpa & Pain Center in New Jersey — with nurse injectors Grace Jacildo, BSN, RN and Nicole Cardwell, FNP-BC.
Together they offer Botox for forehead lines, frown lines and crow’s feet; lip fillers; dermal fillers such as Juvéderm, Restylane and Restylane Lyft for the cheeks, chin, jawline and under-eyes; collagen-building Sculptra and Radiesse; the liquid facelift; and the PDO thread lift — alongside Bellava’s laser treatments and PRP.
