ABOUT US

Tracy Holzman MSN, APRN-C, CRNP, NP-C

Meet Tracy - Nurse Practitioner

I understand what it is like to be an over stimulated consumer in the beauty industry, full of of creams and potions with elaborate, often unrealistic advertising campaigns. Navigating the aesthetic space is confusing. As a board-certified Nurse Practitioner specializing in aesthetics since 2011, I've dedicated my career to helping individuals make informed decisions about their appearance and skin health, ensuring they feel confident and empowered in their choices.

Unlike many others in my field, aesthetic nursing has been my sole focus throughout my medical career. My previous role as an aesthetic sales representative and trainer for the products I now inject has provided me with invaluable insights that I bring to my current practice in medical aesthetics.

With over 3000 hours of specialized training under the guidance of leading plastic surgeons and cosmetic dermatologists nationwide, I bring a wealth of experience and expertise to my practice. I completed my BSN/RN through Stratford University's accelerated program before earning my MSN/AGPCNP from Vanderbilt University, where I was selected based on academic excellence.

Using my knowledge of facial anatomy, clinical training, and expertise in cosmetic treatments, I provide preventative and restorative beauty enhancements that are safe, effective, and not overdone.

I believe in normalizing self-care, in not dismissing a patient’s concern no matter how detailed, and view makeup as a complement to balanced facial proportions and great skin health. Above all, I believe that everyone deserves effortless, radiant beauty!

ATTIVA is a non-surgical, non-invasive radiofrequency treatment for the face and body that provides visible results with little to no downtime. Attivas unique because of the Subdermal Induced Heat Technology (S.I.H.) delivery system, which delivers radiofrequency energy beneath the skin to generate substantial heat without causing damage to the skin’s surface. The radiofrequency energy triggers an immediate contraction of relaxed collagen fibers beneath the skin and initiates a biochemical response that prompts fibroblasts to generate new collagen and elastin.

Attiva


The Sciton BBL (broad band light) is the world's most powerul IPL (intense pulse light) device on the market. It sets the standard in treating skin conditions associated with aging, active life-styles, and sun.

Light energy delivered by BBL will gently heat the upper layers of the skin. The heat absorbd by the targeted areas will stimulate skin cells to regenerate. The process will restore your skin to its natural beauty making it clearer, more even-toned, and vibrant.

BBL Corrective


The BBL HERO is the gold standard in treating skin conditions associated with aging, sun damage, and acne.

The BBL Hero is the newer system that allows treatments to be done "in motion" for a faster, more comfortable and effective session. The decollete can be treated in 90 seconds! It also reduces the risk of the dreaded "patters of rectangles" on the skin from traditional IPL devices.

  • Reduction in fine lines, wrinkles, and pore size

  • Diminishing pigmentation and age spots

Microneedling with Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
Microneedling with the addition of PRP - a biological serum that contains your growth factors and concentrated platelets which stimulate your stem cells to activate the natural healing and repair process.

To obtain the PRP a licensed Nurse Practitioner will draw your blood. The blood is then centrifuged in order to separate the red blood cells from the plasma portion. During this process the plasma separates into two parts, one of which contains a high concentration of platelets, or “platelet-rich” plasma (PRP). This is the portion used during the procedure.

When PRP is microneedled into the skin and applied post treatment you will enjoy accelerated healing and the amplification of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid production in the skin.

Sunscreen

THROWING SHADE SUNSCREEN is finally here!

I went back and forth for about a year to find the perfect formulation for a sunscreen. Selfishly, I did it bc I couldn’t find a sunscreen with all the attributes I personally wanted. It is a 100% mineral sunscreen that provides powerful UV protection, nourishing hydration, and blends effortlessly with all skin tones for a dewy glow.

> Non-comedogenic - Who doesn’t strive for clear pores?! I found other sunscreens were leaving my skin congested and greasy.

> No chemicals, sulfates, or parabens - Safe for sensitive and acne prone skin. It also makes the sunscreen “reef safe”.

> Light universal tint - I wanted to omit chemicals and the avoid chalky look that some physical sunscreens leave on the skin so I opted for neutral tint…just to keep us from looking pasty.

> SPF 44 and water resistant 40 minutes - UVA, UVB, infrared, and blue light protection

> Not tested on animals

> Light moisture - Want more coverage? Try adding a few drops of your favorite foundation to the sunscreen; it blends fantastically.

> 2 Pumps = full face coverage

OMG she is the best! Since I have moved, no one has been able to deliver the results she did with Botox around my eyes! I shamelessly called her to have her speak with a physician where I live now to get my ‘recipe’. I highly recommend her!
— Phuong Nguyen, age: 36
Tracy’s motto is “looking good should be easy,” and the results really live up to that motto. I love the natural results that I feel like have just helped me look like my best self. Tracy is also a great listener, kind, non-judgmental and, as a another reviewer mentioned, a perfectionist in the best way possible. She’s not satisfied until your results are perfect.

how do I book an appointment?

Please click BOOK NOW from the contacts page. 

Please note that I am committed to providing all of my patients with exceptional care.
When a patient cancels without giving enough notice they prevent another patient from being seen.

Please provide 24-hours notice to avoid cancellation/late reschedule fees.
You may provide notice by calling 202.742.3999 (leave a message if necessary) or by logging in to your patient portal to cancel/reschedule. If notification is not given 24 hour prior to your originally scheduled appointment time, you will be charged $300 for the missed/late reschedule appointment. We do not have the ability to override this practice policy.


How much does a consultation cost?


In-person consultations are $150 and this charge can be applied to any service provided on the same day with that specific provider.

I recommend discussing all of your concerns at your consult even if you plan to schedule them separately in the future.

You will be asked to provide your credit card in order make an appointment. At that time you will also be asked to acknowledge the 24 hour no show/cancellation/reschedule policy of $300. The credit card will only be charged in the case of failure to cancel or reschedule your appointment (including consultations) 24 hours prior to the originally scheduled appointment time. We do not store credit cards for payment of services.


When should I schedule my appointment?

Schedule your appointment at least 2 weeks before attending any special event.  Bruising and swelling may be apparent during that time period.  Reschedule your appointment at least 24 hours in advance if you have a rash, cold sore or blemish on the area to be treated.


I want to get wedding ready. When should I start?

Ideally, at least 3 months prior to the the big day. I want you to look your very best this means we need to allow time for skin recovery from a new skin care routine or any potential swelling or bruising to resolve. Some treatments which involve multiple treatment sessions like those using Qwo, Kybella, Sculptra, and microneedling need to begin 4-6 months out so that optimal results can be achieved. Please contact me to schedule a time to chat and plan customized timeline.


What should I do before I come in for treatment?

Do not consume alcoholic beverages at least 24 hours prior to treatment as the risk of bruising is increased.

Avoid anti-inflammatory/blood thinning medications, if possible, for 3 days before treatment: aspirin, vitamin E, ginkgo biloba, ginseng, St. John’s Wort, turmeric, Omega 3/Fish Oil supplements, Ibuprofen, Motrin, Advil, and Aleve all have a blood thinning effect and can increase the risk of bruising after injections. Should you have had any of these, please note they should not affect your end result. They simply increase your risk of bruising and recovery from the bruise.

Contact me if you have a history of cold sores or “fever blisters” so that a medication can be prescribed 2 days prior to your appointment to minimize a recurrence.

Street parking usually available. Paid parking is available beneath our building, 2440 M St NW; unfortunately, we do not validate. Parking is also available 24/7 across the street at 2445 M St NW and the fee is lower that that of our building.


How can I reduce Swelling?

The under eye area and lips typically swell the most. 

Under eye swelling may take up to 2 weeks to resolve therefore, touchups are not usually made until after the 2 week mark.

Tips to reduce swelling:
-Day 1 (post treatment)= Apply a cold compress for 5 min. every 30 min. for the first few hours if possible.
-Keep your head elevated as much as possible for the first 24 hours .
-Take Benadryl, as directed, at bedtime on the day of treatment - this will make you sleepy…no alcohol, no driving.
-Sleep at 45 degree angle - use pillows to prop yourself up.
-Day 2 = Use warm compress on and off to increase circulation and help the swelling move out.
-Arnica is a homeopathic remedy for bruising and swelling. It may be used pre and post treatment. It comes in a topical and oral form - both are sold at Whole Foods or can be bought online.

Note: Swelling peaks usually peaks at 48 hours

What should I expect after a filler treatment?

You may experience some bruising and swelling.

Swelling typically peaks at 48 hours.  To minimize swelling, sleep at a 45-degree angle for the first few nights after treatment.  Bruises typically resolve within 14 days.  There are homeopathic treatments to help resolve bruising faster.

It is normal for the areas injected with a dermal filler to feel firm for the first few days after treatment.  Over the next few weeks, the area will soften as the product integrates with your own tissue.

If you have previously suffered from facial cold sores there is a risk that the needle punctures could contribute to another occurrence.  Please let me know as medications can be prescribed to minimize a recurrence.
