Proudly hailing from the picturesque town of Big Bear, I take pride in the strong connections we share, where bonds run deep and every face is a friend. With a decade of experience in emergency medicine and trauma nursing, my unwavering commitment has always been to help others. Four years ago, I embarked on an exciting journey into the realm of aesthetics, inspired by my Italian roots, which led to the establishment of my premier med spa, Ciao Bella Aesthetics.

Neuromodulators like Jeuveau and Xeomin are injectable treatments widely used for reducing the appearance of facial wrinkles. They work by temporarily relaxing the muscles in the treated areas. Typically, the effects of Jeuveau and Xeomin last about 3 to 4 months. However, the exact duration can vary depending on factors such as the individual's metabolism, the specific muscles injected, the dose administered, and how often the individual has had such treatments in the past. Regular maintenance treatments are often required to sustain the desired effects. It's always best to consult with a qualified healthcare professional such as myself to see if you are an appropriate candidate for such treatment.
Erbium YAG lasers do not "see" color in the way that human eyes do; rather, they operate based on specific wavelengths of light that are absorbed by the target tissue. The erbium YAG laser typically emits light at a wavelength of 2940 nanometers, which is strongly absorbed by water in the skin. This makes it particularly effective for procedures involving skin resurfacing and tissue ablation. A Erbium YAG laser can be safe for individuals with Fitzpatrick skin type IV, which includes light brown skin that tans easily but can also burn. This type of laser is less likely to cause thermal damage compared to other types of lasers, making it a suitable option for skin resurfacing and other cosmetic procedures.
HA fillers (Hyaluronic Acid fillers) are designed to add volume and hydration to the skin, providing immediate results and are typically resorbable over time. CAHA biostimulators, like Radiesse, contain Calcium Hydroxylapatite, which not only fills in wrinkles but also stimulates collagen production, offering longer-lasting effects and improving skin texture over time. In short, HA fillers focus on immediate volume, while CAHA biostimulators promote long-term rejuvenation.
Microneedling
- Uses a device with fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin.
- Primarily improves skin texture, reduces fine lines, acne scars, and enhances overall skin tone.
- Recovery time is generally quick, with minimal redness and swelling.
RF Microneedling
- Combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy, delivering heat deeper into the skin layers.
- Not only stimulates collagen production but also tightens the skin, making it effective for sagging or loose skin
- Typically provides more dramatic and longer-lasting results compared to standard microneedling.
- Recovery may include slight swelling or redness, but downtime is usually minimal.
Both treatments can be effective for skin rejuvenation, but RF microneedling often offers enhanced tightening benefits. Having a consultation prior to your treatment can help determine which option is best for you.
Semaglutide is a prescription medication used to aid in weight loss and manage type 2 diabetes. It mimics a hormone called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), which helps regulate appetite, reduces hunger signals, and improves blood sugar levels. Semaglutide is administered via a once-weekly injection.

I recently visited Ciao Bella for facial aesthetic treatments, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! The clinic is clean, calming, and beautifully designed. Cellea is incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and attentive. She listened carefully to my goals, assessed my facial structure, and explained each step of the procedure clearly both before and during the treatment. Her expertise, attention to detail and use of the latest techniques really put me at ease. The results are exactly what I hoped for—subtle, natural, and refreshing. I still look like myself, just more balanced and rejuvenated. Cellea also provided thorough aftercare instructions and followed up to make sure everything was healing well. If you're considering any aesthetic treatments, I highly recommend Ciao Bella.

If you are looking for an injector that knows her stuff. Look no further. Cellea is your gal. I have loss volume and elasticity over the years. At 46 this gets a little harder to address with just a little Botox. My main concerns was the skin starting to gather at the corners of my mouth (jowls) and my neck. Cellea applied filler on my check bones using two different methods and used Botox at the jawline to snatch up the skin (Nefertiti lift). The results are amazing and I get to avoid a facelift anytime soon. Her follow up is immaculate. You won’t regret it!Posted on laeh griffithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ciao Bella Aesthetics! Can’t say enough About Cecilia truly professional, and very knowledgeable. Facility is very clean! Owner or Cecilia truly shows her knowledge when it comes to doing Botox on somebody who is very resistant. I developed resistance. Cecilia knew how to address my resistant issues gave me a beautiful eyebrow lift and kept in touch with me to make sure everything was perfect! She takes the time to do the job right . I am 54 and very concerned when I do Botox so my eyelids don’t look heavy. She was able to Botox my face without Dropping my eyelids in fact, she did a beautiful eyebrow lift. I had a previous aesthetician do filler under my eyes, which made me look puffy. I had Cecilia Dissolve the previous filler and she did a beautiful job where I didn’t need to go back and refill. Definitely impressed!Posted on Alejandra ManzellaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cellea is amazing. She made me feel comfortable during my visit. She explained the procedure and reassured me. I love her professionalism! I highly recommend her services.
