Leslie holds the only patent for a dermal filler technique using dermal fillers such as Juvederm® Voluma™, Restylane®, and the RHA® line of fillers.
She recognized that hyaluronic acid gels revolutionized how the signs of aging were addressed, but she also believed that a modern, powerful methodology would maximize their potential. She was determined to discover that methodology.
Although well trained in medical science, including bone, muscle, fat, and collagen structure composing the facial armature, Leslie looked to principles of architectural engineering for the rationale to back her theories. With extensive experience as an accomplished seamstress and designer, she regularly used her experiences with clothing construction (engineering) to exact the details she desired. These varied skills served as the foundation for her research.
Her long-awaited epiphany came while she was driving along the infamous Highway 405 in Los Angeles. She suddenly realized that the strategically placed struts that supported a retaining wall along the interstate were the missing piece of the puzzle she was intent on solving, “lifting” the face, instead of “filling” the face. Thus, began the pioneering of the now patented, ArqueDerma® Artistic Restoration Lift® technique.
Today, her innovative technique is practiced by over 500 Licensed ArqueDerma Practitioners who change the lives of thousands of patients in North America and worldwide each year.
Leslie is passionate about instructing her educationists and licensees in her medical and artistic skills in the ArqueDerma trainings, held through her aesthetic training company, InjectAbility® Institute. She also has imparted her knowledge through her work as a faculty injection trainer for several companies, including Allergan®, Medicis® and Scientiae®, and as a consultant on multiple advisory boards for Allergan, Revance® therapeutics, ZO® Skin Health, and Endo Aesthetics. These venues offer her a unique window to the latest and most ground-breaking techniques in the world of injectables. These platforms not only benefit her trainers and licensees but affords their patients the most up-to-date technology and techniques available.
She is a member of International Society of Plastic Surgical Nurses (ISPAN), the Society of Plastic Surgical Skin Care Specialists (SPSSCS). In 2012 she became a contributing editor for the European medical journal, The Journal of Aesthetic Nursing.
