Gentle Star, designed to be a portal for esthetic transformation, is the product of our greatest passions: Art, Beauty and Medicine.

Illuminated by San Francisco lighting sculptor Jessica Bodner's Cirrus and Orion celestial chandeliers, visitors inherit a sense of calm and welcome. Architect Juan Garcia artistically finds harmony with the century old red brick walls, 11 foot industrial ceiling, & modern design. 3 treatment rooms were created for privacy, comfort, and functionality to ensure an experience unlike any medical office in the Bay Area. A rotation of local consignment art creates a new gallery experience with each visit to Gentle Star.

Modern technology, science, and classic esthetic services together deliver transformations that are unique to Gentle Star. Everyone has a deep inner beauty, and we love to work with each person to bring positive esthetic change to his or her senses. Our consultations ensure that we strive for results with the needs of the individual in mind whether you choose our skin rejuvenation services, wrinkle treatments & fillers, &/or state-of-the-art laser/light procedures.

Gentle Star's non-invasive medical procedures are directed with the sophisticated skill and comfort of a board certified anesthesiologist. Most procedures are performed using local anesthesia with a few requiring light sedation. Dr. Ellis will discuss potential expected outcomes and possible risk limitations of these procedures during your consultation. Gentle Star patients have referral access to leading cosmetic plastic surgeons and dermatologists in the Bay Area.
