Our Story


Gentle Beauty Solutions started with a very personal goal: we wanted to find better ways to age gracefully, feel good, and take care of ourselves without sacrificing comfort, safety, or natural-looking results.


Like many people, we saw countless treatments, skincare products, devices, and wellness options promising amazing results—but not all of them delivered. We also realized that many aesthetic treatments could be uncomfortable, overly aggressive, or simply not something we would choose for ourselves.

So we began doing things differently.

Before bringing a device, skincare line, treatment, or wellness product into our practice, we research it, evaluate it, and whenever appropriate, try it ourselves. We want to understand the experience from the patient's perspective—not only whether something works, but how it feels, how much downtime it requires, and whether we truly believe it is worth offering.


Our goal became simple: create the kind of medical aesthetics and wellness practice we would want to go to ourselves.


Welcome to Gentle Beauty Solutions, founded by husband-and-wife team Estuardo Aguilar MD, and Cherie Aguilar MSN, FNP-BC. With more than 40 years of combined medical experience, we have built our practice around quality, safety, comfort, education, and results that never feel overdone.

We want our patients to look refreshed—not different. We believe aging gracefully is about enhancing what is already there, maintaining healthy skin, supporting your body, and choosing treatments thoughtfully rather than simply doing more.

We also believe that being a responsible medical aesthetics provider sometimes means saying no. If we feel a requested treatment would create an unnatural or overdone appearance, is not medically appropriate, or is not in your best interest, we will respectfully decline to perform it. Our goal is never to change what makes you uniquely you—it is to enhance your natural features while protecting your safety and maintaining balance.

We Believe Quality Matters

Not every laser, injectable, skincare product, supplement, or wellness treatment is created equally.

We carefully select the technology and products we bring into Gentle Beauty Solutions because we want our patients to have access to high-quality, science-based options that we genuinely trust.

Comfort matters to us too. Whenever possible, we seek out advanced technology and techniques designed to make treatments more comfortable while still delivering meaningful results.

And because this is a medical practice, your care is performed by trained medical providers who understand much more than simply how to operate a device. Our team is trained in patient assessment, anatomy, skin health, treatment selection, laser technology, skincare, injectables, and the products we recommend.


Always Learning — Here and Around the World

Aesthetic medicine is constantly evolving—and we believe our education should evolve with it.

We have trained with numerous respected educators and medical professionals, completed advanced injectable and master-level lip injection training, and continue to pursue education in new techniques, technologies, and emerging research.

We also travel around the world to see what is being done in aesthetics, wellness, regenerative medicine, skincare, and anti-aging medicine. We want to understand what leading providers are doing, which technologies are emerging, and which treatments are truly producing meaningful results.

When we see something innovative, we do not simply bring it into the practice because it is new or popular. We research it, evaluate the science, consider the safety, and determine whether it meets the standards we have set for Gentle Beauty Solutions.

Our knowledge has also expanded into areas including regenerative medicine, dermatology, wellness, and plastic surgery principles. That broader medical perspective helps us recognize when something is appropriate for our practice—and just as importantly, when a patient would be better served by another medical specialist.

We will never pretend that every concern belongs in a medical aesthetics practice. Sometimes the best care we can provide is recognizing when you need a dermatologist, plastic surgeon, or another specialty and helping guide you in the right direction.

Looking Good Is Only Part of the Story

We believe beauty is more than what you see in the mirror.

How you feel, how you age, your confidence, your skin health, and your overall well-being are all connected. Beauty comes from within, and self-care should support both the inside and the outside.

That is why Gentle Beauty Solutions has grown beyond aesthetics to include advanced skincare, regenerative treatments, wellness, hormone optimization, weight management, and other medically guided services designed to help our patients feel as good as they look.

You will never find us chasing every trend.


Instead, we focus on treatments, technology, and products that meet our standards for quality, safety, comfort, and results.

Most importantly, we want you to feel heard, educated, comfortable, and confident in your care.

At Gentle Beauty Solutions, our philosophy remains simple:

Look like yourself. Feel like yourself. Just refreshed.


Defined by you. Designed by us.

What Our Customers Say

Cherie made me feel so comfortable and confident about my body! Menopause has been rough, but after my treatments at Gentle Beauty Solutions I was able to lose the forty-five extra pounds I had been fighting for years. Best of all I did it in less than six months, I feel great and I've been able to keep it off. Thank you!
