Chelsea Samo-Lipman, MSHS, PA-C is a board-certified Physician Assistant, advanced aesthetic clinician, and the founder of Custom Beauty Med Studio, located on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. Combining rigorous medical training with an artistic eye for natural balance, Chelsea specializes in subtle, restorative cosmetic injectables, advanced laser technology, and cutting-edge regenerative medicine.

Her Journey into Regenerative Medicine

Chelsea’s passion for aesthetic and regenerative medicine was born out of personal experience. Following the sudden loss of both of her parents, the emotional stress triggered a severe case of Telogen Effluvium, resulting in significant hair loss. When standard medical tests, topical treatments, and supplements failed to yield results, she discovered the restorative potential of Platelet-Rich Plasma and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRP/PRF) therapy.

Experiencing firsthand how autologous regenerative treatments could stimulate dormant hair follicles and restore self-confidence—while realizing how cost-prohibitive these procedures often were—inspired Chelsea to take action. She invested in advanced equipment and specialized clinical training to master regenerative protocols herself, ultimately establishing Custom Beauty Med Studio to make safe, effective, and confidence-boosting treatments accessible to patients throughout the D.C., Maryland, and Virginia regions.
