VAL (Vitality Aesthetics Longevity) was conceived as a response to the "clinical" nature of modern medicine. Our founder, Dr. Valerie Civelli, envisioned a practice that mirrored the timelessness of a heritage fashion house. In this institution, the values of enduring excellence and quality meet the cutting edge of regenerative science. From our flagship hub in Bakersfield to our clientele across the globe, VAL exists to curate a life of uncompromised luster.
Dr. Valerie Civelli is the Creative Director of your healthspan. As a board-certified physician in both Functional and Family Medicine, she has spent decades mastering the "Steel" of clinical research and the "Soft" of patient intuition. Her pedigree includes roles as Chief Resident at a UCLA-affiliated program, a published researcher in peer-reviewed journals, and a recipient of the "Outstanding Physician of the Year" award. She brings the disciplined eye of an engineer and the spirit of a mystic to every patient blueprint.
Our team is composed of Licensed Specialists who operate under the uncompromising standards set by Dr. Civelli. Each provider is chosen for their technical mastery and their ability to provide the "Human Touch" that defines the VAL experience. Whether you are meeting with Dr. Civelli for a complex functional mapping or with our nurse specialists for aesthetic refinement, you are entering a space governed by elite medical oversight and sophisticated care.
Our philosophy is built on four distinct pillars that create the VAL dichotomy:
We investigate the molecular roots of vitality—gut health, brain health, and metabolic DNA.
We refine the profile and the features through the lens of mathematical harmony.
We utilize protocols, data, and structure to ensure predictable, elite outcomes.
We honor the "unseen"—the energy, comfort, and restoration that make a clinic feel like a sanctuary.
VAL is designed for the modern, mobile elite. While our physical coordinates are rooted in California, our impact is global.
We use advanced telehealth for our functional medicine protocols and coordinate concierge visits for aesthetic services nationwide. We believe that elite care should never be a matter of geography, but a matter of access to the right expertise.
To choose VAL is to choose a legacy of excellence. Dr. Valerie Civelli has been recognized as a "Top 20 Under 40" leader and has served on boards ranging from the American Heart Association to local Athletics Scholarships. Her commitment to mentorship and academic contribution ensures that VAL remains at the vanguard of what is possible in medicine. We don't just provide care; we define the standard for a life well lived.
VAL is a concierge, cash-pay practice. This allows us to offer a level of time, depth, and precision that the traditional insurance model cannot accommodate.
Our primary clinical hub for in-person services is located at 9000 Ming Avenue in Bakersfield, CA, though we service patients nationally.
Absolutely. Many clients begin their journey with a single focus, such as Weight Loss or Lip Fillers, and eventually integrate the full VAL triad as they see the results of our architectural approach.
Simply contact our office via our "Direct Text" line. Our concierge team specializes in coordinating virtual consultations and scheduling regional visits for our traveling aesthetician services.
