All Things Botox and Injectables with Dr. Briza Walter & Chelsea Cruz of Studio 17 Cosmetics & Wellness

#78: In this episode we are joined by Dr. Briza Walter the Founder of Studio 17 Cosmetics & Wellness and Chelsea Cruz a certified nurse injector. We dive in and discuss everything we need to know about the ever so popular, neuromodulators (AKA Botox), facial fillers, and anti-aging skin treatments.

Before opening Studio 17 Cosmetics & Wellness in Hoboken NJ, Dr. Briza Walter practiced as an Ob/Gyn for 6 years.  While raising her children and working full time, she also studied aesthetics and integrative medicine in order to expand her knowledge and help all patients, particularly those women suffering from generalized depression, post-partum, post-menopausal and more.   Through the overwhelmingly rewarding experiences, Dr. Briza Walter decided to exclusively work in the medical aesthetics field, and since 2017 has been the owner and medical director of Studio 17 Cosmetics & Wellness.  

Chelsea Cruz is a certified nurse injector specializing in neuromodulators, facial fillers, and anti aging skin treatments. She graduated from the University of Delaware with a degree in Nutritional Sciences and continued on to receive her BSN at Seton Hall. She believes in a global approach to patient care and treating each patient with their unique needs and goals in mind. With this holistic approach, she curates patient specific plans that include multiple treatment modalities to achieve optimal results. Chelsea is dedicated to helping her patients look and feel their best.
