(June 26, 2026 – Barrigada, Guam) - Access to medically guided weight loss, aesthetic treatments, and advanced skin wellness continues to expand in Guam with the opening of MK Lotus Aesthetics, founded by Kristine Pasco, DNP, MPH, APRN, FNP-BC. Located in Barrigada, the new medical aesthetics practice offers GLP-1 weight management, neurotoxin injections including Botox® and Xeomin®, and advanced skin treatments designed to support long-term wellness, healthy aging, and natural-looking results.

Blending evidence-based medicine with personalized wellness, MK Lotus Aesthetics aims to expand access to medically guided aesthetic and wellness services for Guam residents and military families seeking trusted care close to home.

“MK Lotus Aesthetics was created to help people feel more confident, healthier, and empowered in their everyday lives,” said Pasco. “Whether someone is looking to manage their weight, improve their skin health, or explore subtle aesthetic treatments, every treatment plan is personalized to meet their individual needs while supporting long-term health and confidence.”

With a background in family medicine, advanced wound care, and regenerative skin healing, Pasco brings a medically grounded approach to aesthetics focused on patient safety and long-term skin health. Her clinical experience caring for patients across both medical and aesthetic settings has shaped a philosophy centered on prevention, patient education, individualized care, and natural-looking results.

One of the clinic’s featured services is medically supervised weight loss treatment utilizing GLP-1-based therapies, a growing treatment option that has gained national attention for supporting sustainable weight management when paired with healthier lifestyle habits and ongoing medical guidance.

The service arrives at an important time for Guam, where chronic health concerns and lifestyle related illnesses have affected generations of island families. As conversations surrounding preventive health and wellness continue to grow, MK Lotus Aesthetics hopes to encourage a more balanced and sustainable approach to healthy living that supports long-term wellbeing while still embracing Guam’s rich culture, and love for food.

“Health and wellness should feel achievable and sustainable,” Pasco added. “I understand the realities of this island life, the food culture, and the challenges many people face when it comes to weight management and self care. This is about creating healthier lifestyles through education, support, and medically guided treatment plans tailored to each individual.”

In addition to medical weight loss services, MK Lotus Aesthetics offers neurotoxin treatments, with Botox® being one of the most widely recognized brands, designed to help patients achieve refreshed, natural-looking results without compromising facial expression.

As the practice continues to grow, additional technologies and treatment platforms are planned to further expand access to advanced aesthetic and regenerative care on Guam.

The opening of MK Lotus Aesthetics reflects a growing demand for evidence-based wellness and aesthetic services on Guam while expanding access to care that emphasizes prevention, education, and long-term health.

MK Lotus Aesthetics is located at 1088 Army Drive, Unit 14, Barrigada Heights, Guam 96913.
