Founders & Providers
Rita J. Altman received her Physician Associate degree from Emory University in 1986 after attending Michigan State University for her undergraduate work. Her first 20 years were spent in the surgical arena where she perfected a technical skill and eye for beautiful skin closure. She worked alongside some of the top surgeons in Atlanta & San Francisco and was given accolades from them all.
Since 2006, Rita has dedicated her practice to facial re-contouring via non-surgical injections. She has performed over 100,000 procedures with the goal of recapturing and retaining a youthful, natural appearance through artistic injection placement on clients ranging from 21 – 91 years old. Whether it is lip enhancement, cheek augmentation, diminishing wrinkles caused by over-animation, or the deflation and gravitational pulls that aging causes; she will develop a plan of action to meet your goals.
She has trained hundreds of practitioners in the art of injecting. The science is the easy part, but the art of looking natural both at rest and in animation results from the skill and experience of a seasoned provider.
Rita's work ethic is impeccable, her dedication unprecedented and her gentle touch make clients flock to her from near and far also attracting other practitioners to receive their treatments. In her free time Rita is a Yoga Instructor and has taught fitness for over 40 years. She enjoys skiing, hiking, pickleball, walking Jesse & traveling.
