At RSMD Medical Aesthetics, our foundation is built on the unparalleled expertise of Dr. Rebecca Small, a pioneer in the field of non-surgical facial rejuvenation and one of the most respected authorities in medical aesthetics today.
A graduate of both Cambridge University and Harvard Medical School, Dr. Small brings world-class training and over two decades of hands-on experience to every treatment plan. But her credentials only tell part of the story. What sets her apart is her ability to blend deep anatomical knowledge with a refined aesthetic eye, helping each patient achieve their most natural, confident self, without surgery.
Elevating Aesthetics Through Science, Safety and ArtistrY
Dr. Small’s commitment to patient safety and education has earned her national recognition. As a Clinical Professor at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) School of Medicine, she trains Plastic Surgery and Family Medicine physicians in the art and science of non-surgical aesthetics. Her teaching legacy also includes creating The Practical Guide series, a best-selling set of medical aesthetics textbooks translated into 8 languages, with over 50,000 copies sold worldwide.
She is more than a practitioner, she is a thought leader shaping the future of this industry. Whether she’s instructing emerging physicians, speaking at national conferences, or developing protocols for safer injectable techniques, Dr. Small remains at the forefront of medical aesthetics innovation.

OUR SIGNATURE TREATMENT
Dr. Small is the creator of the RSMD Liquid Lift, a non-surgical facial rejuvenation method that combines advanced injectable techniques to restore structure, volume, and contour. This proprietary approach is ideal for patients who want noticeable results without the downtime, risks, or invasiveness of surgery.
It’s not just a treatment, it’s a comprehensive aesthetic strategy built from decades of observing how facial anatomy changes over time. The result? A softer, younger-looking appearance that never looks overdone.
