What Does Dr. Kotecha Use for Herself?

Patients often wonder what treatments their own physicians choose, and at Refine by Tulsi, we believe in full transparency. Dr. Kotecha, our lead clinician, personally gets Xeomin injected every 3 months for both Aesthetics (Wrinkles, Crow’s Feet, Etc) and her Masseter Muscle  for teeth grinding.
