She is internationally acclaimed for her laser and cosmetic treatments, and she strives to apply the latest scientific research to deliver the best possible care and results for each patient.
ELLE magazine has recognized Dr. Chapas twice, as one of 13 “beauty geniuses” for her state-of-the-art use of lasers and energy devices to resurface and tighten skin and for her use of energy devices for body shaping tune-ups below the neck.
Dr. Chapas is also acclaimed for her use of combinations of injectable treatments such as botox and fillers to achieve great results without a look that reveals that cosmetic work was done, and has frequently demonstrated such injectable treatments live on national TV. In the January 2013 issue, Good Housekeeping judged Dr. Chapas’ “Ultimate Botox” best in a “wrinkle eraser” runoff by New York dermatologists.
