Hawaii Facial Plastic Surgery offers a complete physician-directed continuum of non-surgical care — from the HFPS Facial Longevity Assessment that guides every recommendation, to Hawaii's first Collagen Day, medical-grade skincare memberships, injectables, and advanced laser and energy treatments. Every non-surgical protocol is designed by Dr. Tan. Every recommendation follows a clinical assessment. Nothing is templated.
At most aesthetic practices, a patient arrives with a concern and leaves with whatever treatment the provider is most comfortable recommending. At Hawaii Facial Plastic Surgery, every new non-surgical patient relationship begins with the HFPS Facial Longevity Assessment — a physician-designed clinical evaluation of the face, skin, and aging concerns before any recommendation is made.
Dr. Tan's non-surgical recommendations are governed by the same surgical anatomy expertise that governs her operating room. When she recommends an injectable or a laser treatment, she is thinking about what is happening at the structural layer beneath the skin — the fat compartments, the retaining ligaments, the bone — not just the surface concern. That depth of anatomical thinking is not available at a med-spa, a dermatology office, or any non-surgical-only practice.
The result is a non-surgical plan that makes sense — that treats the right layer, with the right modality, in the right sequence. And because Dr. Tan also performs surgery, she can tell you honestly when a non-surgical treatment will serve you well and when it will not.
The HFPS Facial Longevity Assessment is a physician-designed clinical evaluation of your face, skin, and aging concerns before any treatment is recommended. It encompasses every aspect of non-surgical care available at this practice — skincare, injectables, regenerative treatments, laser, and energy devices. You leave with a written plan. Nothing is recommended before we understand what you actually need.
Skin barrier health, pigmentation pattern, collagen and structural support, facial volume distribution, Hawaii lifestyle and UV load. The full clinical picture — not just the surface concern that brought you in.
A written treatment plan. Clear recommendations for skincare, in-office treatments, and the appropriate sequence. An honest assessment of whether non-surgical care addresses your primary concern — or whether surgery is more appropriate.
The assessment is conducted by Dr. Tan's clinical team — aesthetic nurses Tari and Brittany — under Dr. Tan's physician-designed framework. Every plan is reviewed by Dr. Tan personally before it is presented to you.
The HFPS Collagen Clinic offers physician-directed in-office regenerative treatments designed to stimulate the skin's own collagen, rebuild structural support, and improve long-term skin quality. Every protocol is designed by Dr. Tan. Every treatment plan is based on your Facial Longevity Assessment. This is not a menu — it is a clinical program.
A surgeon-led, full-face regenerative experience. Everything patients travel to Korea for — brought to Honolulu. One curated visit. Five treatment layers. Structure, density, refinement, glow, and recovery — all in a single day.
Explore Collagen Day →Medical-grade microneedling that creates precise micro-channels in the skin, stimulating the body's natural collagen response. Addresses skin texture, fine lines, pore size, and early scarring. Frequently combined with PRF for enhanced regenerative effect.
Platelet-Rich Fibrin and Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix — regenerative treatments using your own blood's growth factors to stimulate tissue repair, collagen production, and skin renewal. Used with microneedling, as injectable biostimulators, or under the eyes for hollowing.
Physician-directed injectable collagen stimulators — Sculptra and Radiesse — that work gradually over several months to rebuild the skin's structural collagen framework. A fundamentally different approach from hyaluronic acid fillers: they restore, not just replace.
All injectables at Hawaii Facial Plastic Surgery are administered by Dr. Tan's aesthetic nurses — Tari and Brittany — under her physician-directed framework. Her surgical anatomy expertise governs every injectable recommendation: she can tell you when volume is the right answer and when it will worsen a result.
Botox and Jeuveau — physician-directed neuromodulator treatment for dynamic wrinkles, brow elevation, jaw slimming, and preventive aging care. The goal is always natural, never frozen. Dr. Tan's surgical eye governs every placement decision.
Hyaluronic acid fillers for volume restoration, contour enhancement, and facial balancing — lips, cheeks, temples, tear troughs, jawline, and nasolabial folds. Placed with surgical anatomical precision. No one should be able to tell what was done. You look rested, refreshed, and entirely natural.
Collagen biostimulators that work over months to restore structural collagen — not temporary volumizers. For patients who want to rebuild the foundation of their skin rather than repeatedly replace volume. A longer-lasting, more regenerative approach to facial aging.
Hawaii Facial Plastic Surgery offers a curated selection of the most effective laser and energy devices available — chosen because they address specific clinical needs, not because they are popular. Every device recommendation follows your Facial Longevity Assessment.
The most advanced version of Ultherapy — micro-focused ultrasound energy delivered to the deepest structural layer (SMAS) to stimulate collagen and lift without surgery. Addresses the brow, face, neck, and décolletage. The only FDA-cleared device to lift skin non-invasively. Results build over 3–6 months.
Radiofrequency-based skin tightening and subdermal coagulation — FaceTite for deeper tissue contraction, Morpheus8 for dermal remodeling and radiofrequency microneedling. Together they address lower face and neck laxity, skin texture, and fat deposits without surgery. Often combined for comprehensive non-surgical facial contouring.
Two modes of one device — two very different experiences. Traditional CO₂ resurfacing addresses deeper wrinkles, sun damage, and significant texture concerns with more downtime and more dramatic results. CoolPeel is a superficial, no-downtime CO₂ treatment — precision resurfacing in a lunch-hour visit. Dr. Tan's team recommends based on your skin's specific needs and your downtime tolerance.
A multi-wavelength Q-switched Nd:YAG laser — the gold standard for pigmentation treatment, skin brightening, and pore reduction in Hawaii's diverse patient population. Particularly effective for melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and the sun damage patterns most common in Honolulu's climate. Minimal downtime. Suitable for all Fitzpatrick skin types.
The HFPS Pigmentation Protocol is a physician-directed at-home medical skincare membership designed specifically for hyperpigmentation correction. It is not a product recommendation — it is a structured compliance program. Every product is required. Every step is sequenced. Non-compliant members are removed.
Medical-grade skincare can only perform as well as the patient's compliance allows. The Protocol exists because Dr. Tan believes that a well-designed, faithfully followed skincare regimen changes outcomes — both as a standalone treatment and as the foundation that allows in-office treatments to work.
The membership is gated. It requires an in-person Facial Longevity Assessment before enrollment. It is not available without a clinical evaluation — because the Protocol is built around your specific skin, not a general hyperpigmentation template.

Patients often arrive knowing their concern but not knowing which treatment addresses it. These pages are organized around what you are experiencing — not around the devices or products Dr. Tan uses to treat it.
Dark spots, melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and sun damage — particularly relevant in Honolulu's year-round UV environment. Dr. Tan's approach addresses both the surface pigment and the driving factors beneath it.
Learn More →Active acne management and the long-term correction of acne scarring — textural irregularities, ice-pick scars, rolling scars, and post-acne pigmentation. A physician-directed approach that addresses the scar architecture, not just the surface.
Learn More →When a dermatologist recommends a filler, they are thinking about the surface. When Dr. Tan recommends a filler — or advises against one — she is thinking about the SMAS, the retaining ligaments, the fat compartments that determine how the face ages structurally.
She can tell you when volume replacement will produce a natural result and when it will create the puffy, overdone appearance that erodes trust in non-surgical care. She can tell you whether your pigmentation concern is a surface issue or a structural one. She can tell you whether your primary concern is best addressed non-surgically or whether surgery would serve you better — and she will tell you honestly, regardless of which answer keeps you in the practice longer.
No dermatologist, nurse injector, or med-spa in Hawaii brings this depth of structural thinking to non-surgical care. The HFPS non-surgical program exists because Dr. Tan believes that the right non-surgical recommendation requires the same anatomical knowledge as the right surgical one.
Why Choose Dr. TanSome patients arrive knowing exactly what they want. Others have a concern they want addressed and no idea what should treat it. Both are equally welcome — and both will leave with a clear, written, physician-reviewed plan.
A thorough clinical evaluation of your skin, facial structure, and aging concerns — conducted by Dr. Tan's aesthetic nurses under her physician-directed framework. The assessment governs every recommendation that follows.
Based on your assessment findings, a written plan is prepared — recommending specific treatments, the appropriate sequence, at-home skincare if indicated, and realistic expectations for what each will achieve. Reviewed by Dr. Tan before it is presented to you.
The plan is yours. You can proceed immediately, think about it, or ask questions. There is no pressure to book anything on the day of your assessment. The goal is clarity — not conversion. We would rather give you the right information than rush you into the wrong treatment.
