Drop of Paradise

Drop of Paradise is a physician-led aesthetic practice in El Cerrito Plaza built around a single dedicated provider and a philosophy of natural, conservative results. Founder Samuel Khrapov, MSN, RN, brings a critical care and aesthetic medicine background to every consultation, working under the medical direction of Dr. Jamie Chang, an emergency medicine physician specializing in aesthetics and weight management. The practice prioritizes honest, unhurried consultations over upselling, with an emphasis on structural, conservative injection placement that enhances rather than overtransforms a client's natural features. Its treatment menu includes Jeuveau and Daxxify neuromodulator injections, dermal filler using RHA and Evolysse products, and CoolPeel CO2 laser resurfacing for texture and tone concerns. Skin rejuvenation offerings include HydraFacial in Signature and Deluxe tiers, the combined Hydraneedle treatment, and SkinStylus microneedling for collagen stimulation. The practice also offers a medically supervised weight loss program using tirzepatide with monthly monitoring. With more than 60 five-star reviews, transparent pricing, and financing options through Cherry and CareCredit, Drop of Paradise has earned a reputation as a trustworthy, results-focused boutique med spa in the East Bay.
