AEGIS PRO-AGING™ PHILOSOPHY
INTENTION – PASSION - HOPE

Dr. Christina Plaskos, MD
The AEGIS Effect begins with a single positive change that we create for ourselves. As we experience the benefits that come from this action, we are motivated to create more positive changes. This ultimately creates a ripple effect where one positive change results in many others in our own lives, this transformative spirit of self-love then influences all those around us.
AEGIS MORE THAN A COSMETIC CLINIC … AN EXPERIENCE
OUR PASSION
To empower people with knowledge, treatments and products to help people attain and sustain healthy luminous skin and greater overall health and appearance from the inside out.
OUR HOPE
To help people reveal their infinite possibilities as a result of looking and feeling extraordinary.
EXPERIENCE MATTERS
THE AEGIS LOGO REPRESENTS THE FOUNDATION OF PROTECTION, THE MOVEMENT OF IGNITION AND THE ILLUMINATION OF THE WHOLE.
PROTECT
PROTECT WITH AWARENESS
The AEGIS logo’s outer ring symbolizes protection and uniformity – a shield to guard against challenges and adversity.
IGNITE
IGNITE FROM WITHIN
With no beginning and no end, the spiral curls eternally inward towards the source of creation, and eternally outward towards self-creation and growth. As a path, the spiral is both the journey home to who we really are, and the journey to be one with all – for they are one of the same.
ILLUMINATE
ILLUMINATE YOUR INFINITE POTENTIAL
Protected diligently within this protective ring is a universal symbol of rebirth – water. This deep hue of the ocean reminds us that we, as the nautilus shell, hold many unseen gifts and should protect and nurture them gently until they are ready to be revealed and illuminated.
Dr. Plaskos’s dedication to total health and wellness motivated her to create a model that delivers the philosophy to benefit people positively. This inspired the creation of AEGIS, a skin care and supplement line to enhance the quality of life and support self improvement.
Greek for “protection”, the term “Aegis” succinctly captures Dr. Plaskos’s multifaceted understanding of health, and is rooted in her heritage.
This reference to “protection” reflects Dr. Plaskos’s unique ability to share her knowledge of total well-being with clients, and to teach them how to create their own “aegis” – or protection – from the inside out.
This ethos is reflected in every detail of the clinic experience – from office décor to a memorable, remarkable experience for clients. Every patient who visits the office will benefit from the intentionality of the layout, strategically engineered to provide a calming, comforting experience.
“A refreshing departure from the everyday, the moment a guest walks into Aegis marks their first step toward self-discovery, self-love, and transformation.”
Dr. Plaskos personally invites you to explore the results of AEGIS and discover self-love and Pro-aging™.
