Founder | Medical Aesthetics & Neuromuscular Practitioner | Gerontologist | Integrative & Functional Wellness Practitioner
Dr. Juanita Bonds is a Gerontologist, medical aesthetics and neuromuscular practitioner, and a nationally recognized healthcare executive with over 25 years of clinical and leadership experience. She seamlessly bridges the science of aging, advanced aesthetics, and functional wellness. As the founder of TrueSkin MedEsthetics & Integrative Health, a certified DMK Paramedical Clinic, she provides biologically based, evidence-informed care that focuses on long-term transformations for skin, body, and overall health.
Dr. Bonds holds a Doctorate in Gerontology, specializing in the biological and clinical sciences of aging, as well as a Master’s degree in Healthcare Administration.

Her clinical expertise particularly shines in her work with melanin-rich and darker skin tones, a demographic that has historically been overlooked in both aesthetic and medical care. At TrueSkin, she combines advanced functional protocols with practitioner-led treatments to address issues such as chronic inflammation, hormonal imbalances, gut-skin axis dysfunction, aging, and post-operative recovery. This approach empowers each client through science-backed, identity-aware solutions.
Dr. Bonds’ philosophy is straightforward: true transformation begins at the cellular level. Her mission is to provide culturally competent, results-driven care that merges medical science with integrative wellness, helping each client achieve long-term balance, beauty, and vitality.
