Your Physician
Dr. Claudine
Dotson, MD
Founder & Medical Director, Regenesis Health
"Every patient who walks through my door is treated as a whole person — not a complaint list. That's the foundation of regenerative medicine."
Physician. Scientist. Master injector. Dr. Dotson brings a rare combination of MD-level medicine and deep expertise in aesthetics and regenerative science to every patient interaction at Regenesis Health.
A physician and a scientist.
Dr. Claudine Dotson is both a licensed physician and a scientist. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Chemistry and Biology from Chapman University, then her medical degree from St. George's School of Medicine in 2007 — entering primary care with a rare combination of basic science fluency and clinical training.
Before transitioning to medical aesthetics, Dr. Dotson spent five years working in cosmetic research and development — an experience that fundamentally shaped how she approaches treatment. She doesn't think of aesthetics as a service menu. She thinks of it as applied science: understanding what's happening at the cellular level and choosing interventions that work with your biology, not around it.
Her advanced training from Amet and Merz qualifies her as a master injector. At Regenesis Health, she applies her medical skills alongside her scientific knowledge from dermal research — using a high-tech approach to facial rejuvenation, body contouring, and metabolic wellness.
As a CSU graduate, Dr. Dotson became the first and only physician in the Shenandoah Valley qualified to perform body contouring using both CoolSculpting Elite and CoolTone. While her motto for Regenesis Health is "become ageless," her personal goal is more specific: help people maintain a healthier life — on their terms.
Advanced Training
Trained by the
world's best
Dr. Dotson pursues training with the most recognized names in aesthetic medicine — not for the credential, but because the science behind safe, precise, beautiful results demands it.
Dr. Arthur Swift
Plastic Surgeon, Montreal · Founder, Swift Beauty
One of the most influential injectors in the world. Dr. Swift has trained over 40,000 aesthetic providers across 61 countries and is the creator of BeautiPHIcation™ — a framework for facial enhancement based on da Vinci's mathematical principle of proportion and harmony. He co-edited Injectable Fillers: Facial Shaping and Contouring and serves on global advisory boards for leading pharmaceutical companies. Training with Dr. Swift means learning injection as an art form grounded in structure — not trend.
Dr. Tim Pearce
GP & Aesthetics Educator · Founder, eLearning Aesthetics
A leading voice in aesthetic medicine rigor and complication management. Dr. Pearce has performed over 25,000 injectable treatments, founded one of the field's most respected eLearning platforms in 2016, and is a member of the Allergan Academy. His teaching is known for demanding precision and evidence-based practice in a field that too often tolerates shortcuts. Training with Dr. Pearce builds the foundation for consistent, safe, high-quality outcomes across thousands of patients.
Prof. Sebastian Cotofana
MD, PhD, PhD · Erasmus University · Queen Mary University London
Widely regarded as the world's leading anatomist in facial aesthetics. Professor Cotofana holds two research PhDs — in Medical Science and Anatomy — and has authored over 250 peer-reviewed publications on facial anatomy and non-surgical procedures. He developed the Cotofana Dissection Method, a systematic layer-by-layer approach that has become the anatomical standard for advanced injector training. His work is what separates practitioners who understand why a technique is safe from those who simply follow a protocol.
Philosophy
Why physician-led
care changes everything
The difference between a good outcome and a transformative one is physician oversight — not just at the start, but throughout your entire care journey.
Diagnosis Before Prescription
Every treatment at Regenesis Health starts with a thorough assessment of your health, labs, and goals. Dr. Dotson recommends what fits your biology — not a default protocol or a popular trend.
Treatments That Work Together
Hormones affect metabolism. Metabolism affects body composition. Body composition affects how you look and feel. Every Regenesis protocol is designed with that interconnection in mind.
Long-Term, Not One-Time
Regenerative medicine is an ongoing relationship. Dr. Dotson monitors your progress, adjusts protocols, and builds a treatment plan that evolves with your body's changing needs over time.
Distinctions
The Regenesis difference
What makes Regenesis Health different from a medi-spa or aesthetic clinic is physician ownership of every decision — from initial consultation to final results.
MD-Supervised, Every Visit
You see Dr. Dotson — not a technician or PA. Every injection, treatment, and protocol is physician-administered and physician-monitored.
First in the Valley
Dr. Dotson is the first and only physician in the Shenandoah Valley qualified to perform body contouring with CoolSculpting Elite and CoolTone.
Research-Based Approach
Five years in cosmetic research and development shapes how Dr. Dotson selects and applies treatments — mechanistically, not by trend or marketing.
Confidential & Personalized
Every patient receives individualized care in a private, professional environment. Your health goals, your pace, your plan — no one-size-fits-all menus.
