Becky Shepard
A native of Tallahassee, Florida, Becky moved to Dallas the first time in 2004 and then permanently in 2012. She enjoys spending time with her beloved husband Brad as well as travelling, cycling classes and Pilates.
Care Philosophy
Becky believes that no treatment or procedure works in a vaccum, and devises bespoke plans for her patients that allow for the best possible result. “Just as you can’t do one spin class and take on the Tour De France, very rarely will one single treatment give you exceptional results so I tailor combinations of lasers and peels or skin tightening to create incredible results, and combine with advanced home care to ensure the results are maintained.”
History
A native of Tallahassee, Florida, Becky moved to Dallas the first time in 2004 and then permanently in 2012. She has trained with ‘best in class’ providers in both Texas and Florida and uses her vast knowledge to identify better treatment protocols for the Skin and Laser Spa. She single handedly established an Aesthetics division for one of the largest Ob/Gyn practices in her home town, specializing in providing services in skin care and medical lasers.
