Dr. Stephen Bracci

A physician dedicated exclusively to non-surgical facial restoration for over 26 years.

A Specialist, Not a Generalist

In a field where many providers offer injectables as just one of many services, Dr. Stephen Bracci has taken a different path—dedicating his entire practice to the art and science of cosmetic injectables for full facial rejuvenation.

For more than two decades, patients have trusted Dr. Bracci for one reason: results that look natural, balanced, and true to who they are. Rather than chasing trends or overfilling features, his approach is rooted in restoring the support beneath the skin—bone, muscle, and fat—that changes over time and impacts how the face ages, providing patients with an alternative to facial plastic surgery at an advanced practice level.

A More Advanced Approach to Facial Rejuvenation

Dr. Bracci is known for developing proprietary treatment approaches, including EyeRise® for under-eye rejuvenation and BaseLift® for full-face restoration. These techniques reflect a deeper understanding of how the face evolves—not just on the surface, but structurally.

By focusing on support rather than volume alone, his work avoids the common pitfalls of traditional filler treatments, such as puffiness or distortion. The result is a more refined outcome: patients look rested, lifted, and natural, never overdone.

Experience That Shapes Every Decision

With over 25 years of hands-on experience, Dr. Bracci brings a level of precision and judgment that can only come from repetition and focus. Every treatment is performed personally, allowing for complete control over technique, placement, and outcome. This consistency is central to the VERVE experience. There are no shortcuts, no delegation, and no one-size-fits-all treatments, only a highly individualized approach designed around each patient’s anatomy and goals.

Education and Credentials

Dr. Stephen Bracci received his medical degree from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City and his undergraduate degree from the University of Rochester. He completed his residency in Physical Medicine at New York University School of Medicine and additional training in anesthesiology at Yale School of Medicine.

He is board-certified by the American Board of Laser Surgery and is a member of the American Medical Association and the Aesthetic Multispecialty Society. Dr. Bracci holds medical licenses in New York, New Jersey, and Florida. He is also regularly selected to attend the Merz Aesthetics expert conference, where leading physicians collaborate on advanced techniques and innovations in cosmetic medicine.

Philosophy

Dr. Bracci’s philosophy is simple: patients should look like themselves, just more refreshed and confident. Rather than focusing on isolated features, he views the face as a whole, with particular attention to the under-eye area and midface as central to overall balance. His goal is not to change how you look, but to restore what time has altered in a way that feels natural and undetectable.

Why Patients Choose Dr. Bracci

Exclusive Focus on Injectables

Dr. Bracci has dedicated his entire practice to non-surgical facial restoration using cosmetic injectables. This singular focus enables a level of precision and expertise rarely found in aesthetic medicine. Rather than dividing attention across multiple services, every technique, decision, and outcome is rooted in decades of experience refining injectable-based facial rejuvenation.

Facial Plastic Surgery Alternative

Dr. Bracci offers a true alternative to facial plastic surgery by restoring the underlying support of the face without incisions or downtime. His approach is designed for patients who want meaningful, natural-looking improvement without surgery, using advanced techniques to lift, contour, and rebalance the face in a way that feels structurally complete.

Physician-Performed Treatments Based on Science and Clinical Practice Results

With over 5,000 procedures performed and more than 26 years of experience, every treatment reflects Dr. Bracci’s hands-on expertise. He personally performs all injections, applying proprietary methods like EyeRise® and BaseLift® that have been developed and refined through real clinical outcomes, ensuring precise, consistent, and anatomically informed results.

Structural Approach to Aging

Dr. Bracci focuses on the root cause of facial aging: the gradual loss of support beneath the skin from changes in bone, fat, and muscle. By restoring this structure at key points, he creates lift and balance across the face, avoiding the overfilled look and delivering results that are more natural, cohesive, and longer-lasting.

Natural, Undetectable Results

The goal is never to change how you look, but to restore what has subtly shifted over time. Dr. Bracci’s work is designed to be undetectable: patients appear more rested, supported, and refreshed without obvious signs of treatment, allowing them to look like themselves at their best, not altered or overdone.
