Dr. Kwok has a passion for helping members of the community and beyond. As a physician, he saw the needs and demands of people like you who want to look and feel confident. Launching Ovo was the right thing to do. Dr. Kwok established Ovo to help you be the best version of yourself at any age. Many aesthetic providers only “mask” the aging process; here at Ovo, Dr. Kwok believes in treating the inner structure of the skin to delay the aging process as well as correcting the signs of aging. By combining therapies, you can expect to look and feel more youthful.
