Over the last eleven years Dr. Anna Guanche’s extraordinary skil l has made her one of the most coveted cosmetic dermatologists on and off the TV screen. With a special ized approach that is as art ist ically exceptional as the dedication she exhibits to her high-profi le and non-celebrity cl ients al ike, Dr. Anna is a champion for helping others enhance their natural beauty, al l the while affirming that her own is more than skin deep.

A board-certified dermatologist and dermatologic surgeon, in addition to being a resident expert on Extra TV, Dr. Anna has contributed her valuable insight and expertise to The Doctors as well as The Oprah Winfrey Show. She’s appeared in more than 25 episodes of Ten Years Younger on TLC, in addition to being featured in numerous magazines including MedEsthetics, Elle and People amongst others. A self-described perfectionist, Dr. Anna’s finesse in creating youthful enhancements, that look remarkably natural, prompted her high profile celebrity clients to lovingly deem her “The Filler Queen.” With non-surgical enhancements comprising 95% of her time, it’s a title that Dr. Anna loves as much as the art of composing the incredible results she’s beloved for. Owner of Bella Skin Institute, Dr. Anna uses the same advanced filler techniques and botox to maintain her own organically youthful appearance, which makes her a living reflection of what she teaches, promotes, and performs for her clients.

Despite her star status as The Filler Queen today, Dr. Anna didn’t set her sights on being a dermatologist as a child. On the contrary she was captivated with a desire to perform and express herself through writing, playing piano, and acting. She loved the creative arts and dreamed of being on stage. Instead, growing up in an extremely strict household, Dr. Anna was raised solely by her father who insisted that she become a doctor, lawyer or engineer. Hence she ultimately chose dermatology. Life has a wonderful way of expanding our perspectives; sometimes the very gifts and desires we possess manifest in ways that differ from what we initially imagine to be accurate, which is precisely what Dr. Anna experienced. After spending years building a solid foundation in medical science, her passion for the arts emerged through her prolific artistry with advanced filler techniques and botox, placing her center stage as one of the most sought after anti-aging skin care specialists in Southern California.

At Bella Skin Institute, Dr. Anna and her staff provide the entire gamut of dermatologic services, including medical dermatology, injectables, laser treatments, and surgery. Conveniently located in Calabasas, you’ll consistently find the newest product innovations and the most advanced dermatological options available. Dr. Anna is also incredibly engaging with a wonderful sense of humor. She warmly addressed the fears and misconceptions I had about fillers, sharing a simple philosophy that got me

excited about becoming her client. She says too often patients are over treated. Unfortunately one bad filler job can deter thousands from ever trying it. As Dr. Anna explained, a good filler job is virtually unrecognizable because you are being restored to a natural place that is organically aligned with the shape, contour, and symmetry of your face and form. An anti-aging enthusiast, Dr. Anna is passionate about helping her clients age backwards so their overall appearance improves year after year. She says under correcting is crucial, thus she studies the topography of your skin. With plenty of celebrity clients who are in the public eye, she stresses the importance of 3D volumization, which ensures a thoroughly balanced look on and off camera.

So what could you do on your lunch hour? Dr. Anna says a tiny bit of filler under the eye changes the way light reflects off the skin, beautifully restoring the appearance of your eyes. For women concerned about retaining a natural lip line, subtle enhancements to your cheeks along with tiny bits of filler in upper lip lines without adding filler to the lips will keep your mouth looking and moving naturally. Guys, you can use botox to simply soften your lines, add minimal filler to your cheeks for a subtly more youthful appearance, or enhance your jaw line for a slightly more masculine looking profile. At Bella Skin Institute, Dr. Anna specializes in tailoring customized treatments for a totally individualized plan that incorporates your desires, concerns, time frame, and budget. Looking and feeling your best has never been easier. Stop by the institute and let Dr. Anna help you start aging backwards today!
