Meet the man behind the Kardashians' second home, Epione:
His luxurious medical spa Epione has practically become the Kardashians' second home, but it wasn't an easy road to get there.Author:Dhani MauUpdated:Oct 30, 2019Original:Oct 30, 2019In our long-running series "How I'm Making It," we talk to people making a living in the fashion and beauty industries about how they broke in and found success.
We chatted about all that, as well as how being an immigrant and artist drew him to aesthetic procedures, how he developed his signature techniques, Instagram fame, his secret skin-care line and how Lisa Vanderpump helped him build his celebrity clientele. Read on for the highlights.
The laser companies contacted me because I knew what to do with lasers and I already had a medical degree so it kind of put me in an area that was rare. I didn't have patients [yet], I could just sit down and do research and then offer answers. Initially [I was] a consultant but I was very naïve, I didn't really know how much money these guys could make from what I was telling them.
My practice was mostly lasers but then at that point Botox and fillers were starting to come into the market. I started working with those, but the problem with the fillers was that they were very expensive for very small amounts. Then I think people saw [they could get] results without having to do any cutting and people started to come and they brought their friends, and the celebrities, and then celebrities told other celebrities and then, here we are today.Twenty years ago, that was the naïve part of it. As soon as I got out of residency, I thought, 'How difficult can it be? I'm just going to open a practice and people who come, I'm going to treat them.
Lisa Vanderpump brought Lady Gaga and a lot of the celebrities she knew, and that became known. They saw people's faces, they realized that they're not looking crazy, so the agents told their clients and it got out. And then she of course she was the queen of Instagram, of social media, so people who followed her came to see what I do, and they wanted to have her features.I think it's because, number one, I'm not curing cancer, we're not showing bad cases, this is a light side of medicine, and at the same time it's relatable, there's not a person who thinks being attractive is bad.
