Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Shirat Ling, DO
Sourced directly from Dr. Shirat Ling, DO's social posts and replies.
When is the best time to plan for aesthetic treatments and what are the seasonal considerations?
Spring is often a transitional season where patients begin planning for summer aesthetic treatments. Treatments like Agnes RF, TruSculpt, and TruFlex work over time, and starting them in spring tends to produce the most balanced, natural-looking results. Many treatments can still be performed during spring and summer, but selection becomes more important due to increased sun exposure and outdoor activity. For spring and summer, Dr. Ling often recommends treatments that support skin quality, collagen, and overall skin health with minimal downtime, such as Laser Genesis, dermaplaning, Pellevé, and microdermabrasion. Treatments like Agnes RF or NOUVADerm may also be appropriate for some patients, depending on timing, lifestyle, and their ability to properly protect their skin afterward.
What are the primary uses for Agnes RF in Dr. Ling's practice?
Dr. Ling often uses Agnes RF for facial treatments, specifically to address early laxity and improve jawline definition.
What are TruSculpt and TruFlex used for?
TruSculpt and TruFlex are body treatments used to target stubborn fat and support muscle tone.
What are the benefits of Microdermabrasion and Pelleve Radiofrequency?
Microdermabrasion gently smooths fine lines, wrinkles, pores, and superficial discoloration, providing an instant glow with no downtime. Special Occasion Microdermabrasion is intended to provide significant rejuvenation, helping to 'erase the last year or two.' Pelleve radiofrequency immediately tightens skin and continues to stimulate collagen.
What is the 'Buff and Shine' treatment and what are its results?
The 'Buff and Shine' treatment (Microdermabrasion/Pelleve) results in temporary pinkness for 30 minutes, followed by an instant glow that lasts for weeks. It's suitable for special occasions like weddings and graduations, or for general life when you want to look your freshest.
What is the purpose of a consultation with Dr. Ling?
Consultations are used to determine the best and most individualized approach for each patient's aesthetic goals.
Which staff members perform specific treatments and how does pricing differ?
Buff and Shine (Microderm/Pelleve), Defuzz and Glow (Dermaplaning/Lasergenesis), and Agnes RF (Baby Nip and Tuck) treatments are scheduled with the practice's aestheticians. Special Occasion Microdermabrasion can be booked with Cynthia or Yazmin. While some procedures may be offered at a discount by aestheticians, Dr. Ling charges full price for services like Buff and Shine (Microderm/Pelleve), Defuzz and Glow (Dermaplaning/Lasergenesis), and Agnes RF (Baby Nip and Tuck).
What is NOUVADerm and who is it for?
NOUVADerm is not a one-size-fits-all treatment and is not exclusively for correcting severe skin damage. In Dr. Ling's practice, it's often best suited for patients looking to improve overall skin quality, addressing issues such as uneven texture, sun damage, dullness, fine lines, and early collagen decline. The goal is to support healthier, smoother, and more refined skin over time, rather than dramatic overnight changes. Candidacy is determined during consultations, considering timing, skin condition, and lifestyle.
What causes changes in skin quality over time and how are they addressed?
Skin quality changes gradually due to factors like collagen and elastin loss, hormonal changes, sun exposure, inflammation, environmental stress, and lifestyle factors (stress, dehydration, diet, alcohol, UV exposure). As internal support declines, skin texture, firmness, brightness, and resilience are affected. Improving skin quality typically requires a layered approach combining treatments, skincare, and long-term daily habits.

Industry Payments
Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Compared to peers
Modest
Dr. Shirat Ling, DO received $839 across 26 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 56% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was MERZ NORTH AMERICA, INC..
What this means for your care
- A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
- Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
- Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
- A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”

What areas of care does Dr. Shirat Ling, DO cater to?
Dr. Ling's primary area of care is cosmetic medicine and aesthetic procedures. As a board-certified family physician, she also has a background in general family medicine and osteopathic manipulative medicine. Emphasizes gradual, natural refinement in aesthetic treatments, particularly when planning for summer, prioritizing subtle enhancements over dramatic changes. Emphasizes individualized treatment planning tailored to each patient's unique needs and goals. Approaches aesthetic treatments thoughtfully, basing recommendations on individual anatomy, skin quality, and long-term outcomes rather than fleeting trends. The goal is to achieve natural, balanced, and appropriate results for each patient. During spring and summer, the practice often focuses on treatments that support skin quality, collagen, and overall skin health with minimal downtime. Spring and summer treatment planning prioritizes maintenance, prevention, and gradual refinement over aggressive correction. Recognizes that no single treatment addresses all skin quality concerns, as issues like texture, dullness, uneven tone, congestion, and collagen decline affect the skin differently. Therefore, a layered approach to treatment planning is often utilized. This layered approach may include treatments that exfoliate, support collagen, improve circulation, refine texture, or stimulate overall skin renewal, aiming to support the skin from multiple angles and create gradual, balanced, and natural results over time. Believes that healthy skin is achieved through consistency and choosing the right combination of treatments, rather 'doing the most'.
