Meet the Artistic Aesthetics Team

With a foundation built on the complexities of Critical Care, Dr. Christopher Tonthat brings a unique blend of precision and compassion to every patient interaction. Board-certified in Internal Medicine, Dr. Tonthat has always possessed a natural affinity for procedures, a skill honed over years of high-stakes practice. This passion has now beautifully transitioned into the realm of Aesthetic Medicine, where he combines medical expertise with an artistic eye to help patients achieve their aesthetic goals with natural-looking results.

Dr. Tonthat is dedicated to helping men feel more confident and empowered through his speciallized aesthetics practice focusing on girth enhancement injections. With a philosophy that goes beyond size, he believes true confidence comes from embracing the energy that you project and feeling good about your appearance. His approach combines expertise with a deep appreciation of men's personal and aesthetic goals. Dr. Tonthat creates a supportive, judgment-free environment where men can take control of their self-image. It’s not about having a big dick — it’s about owning your confidence and enjoying the way you look and feel.

When not caring for patients, Chris is often found embracing the active Chico lifestyle. Whether it's spiking a volleyball at the Rec center, or unwinding by a campfire after a day of fishing the local lakes and rivers, these pursuits reflect Dr. Tonthat s belief in a balanced and fulfilling life.

With a diverse background that blends artistry, entrepreneurship, and advanced medical training, Raquel brings a unique and comprehensive approach to aesthetic care.

She  began her career in cosmetology, where she channeled her creative vision into owning and operating a successful salon. Her passion for helping others and desire to deepen the impact inspired her to pursue nursing in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Raquel earned her Bachelor’s degree in Registered Nursing and later graduated Summa Cum Laude with her Nurse Practitioner degree in Acute Care.

Prior to her medical career, she studied Entrepreneurship at Chico State, where she earned her Bachelor’s degree. That business foundation, combined with her hands-on experience in both beauty and healthcare, allows Raquel to provide results that are not only clinically sound but also artistically refined.

As an oil painter with a keen eye for symmetry and aesthetics, Raquel integrates her creative background into every treatment she performs. Raquel specializes in advanced filler techniques, including European facial and lip enhancements, full facial transformations, as well as facial threading. Raquel's goal is always to deliver the most natural, balanced, and beautiful results—tailored uniquely to each client.
