All this Zoom interaction and seeing ourselves in a way we have never experienced before made many of us feel vulnerable and uncomfortable. As a result, we had a huge and unexpected influx of patients as soon as we reopened after the first COVID wave in 2020.

We all know 2020 brought a lot of changes, and that includes a switch over to video conferences and chats for millions of people during the COVID pandemic. In fact, reports show that video conferencing in 2020 saw a 535% rise in daily traffic through the Zoom application, along with more than 40 million users conferencing on Skype.
With more people looking at those screens, and their own faces, many were frankly not pleased with what they saw. This spurred a huge spike in demand for aesthetic services. Among the top non-surgical procedures that Americans underwent in 2020, Botox treatments increased by 54% and fillers jumped by 75%, according to the Aesthetic Plastic Surgery National Databank.
“From what we’ve experienced, the Zoom Boom helped bring back the Lip Flip. All this Zoom interaction and seeing ourselves in a way we have never experienced before made many of us feel vulnerable and uncomfortable. As a result, we had a huge and unexpected influx of patients as soon as we reopened after the first COVID wave in 2020,” says Dr. Emeka Okwuje, founder and medical director of RevitalizeMaui Aesthetic & Longevity Medicine Center. “Even people who had never considered aesthetic medical procedures in the past were insistent on coming to see us as soon as possible. They proceeded with many treatments such as Botox, dermal fillers, PDO thread lifts and skin resurfacing to improve how they look on and off Zoom.”
Experiencing such a surge in popularity, RevitalizeMaui has moved to a new, larger space in North Kīhei to accommodate its growing base of happy patients. The aesthetic medicine & anti-aging center, now at 411 Huku Li’i Place in Kīhei, has tripled its capacity with a continued focus on cutting-edge aesthetic and longevity medical solutions to turn back the clock and improve quality of life. They offer a comprehensive array of procedures, from facial rejuvenation and skin revitalization to non-surgical body contouring and bioidentical hormone replacement therapies.
“It’s important to us that our location is very accessible to our patients, who travel here from all across Maui or make the short drive from the airport when they fly in from neighbor islands and the mainland,” says Dr. Okwuje. “This new state-of-the-art medical facility allows us to perform the highest quality aesthetic, longevity and regenerative medical treatments in absolute comfort.”
The doctor and his wife were very involved in the buildout of their 1,500-square-foot space in North Kīhei, professionally designed by local firm, Pili Design+Build, to create a connection with their patients in a modern, sustainable and welcoming space.
The new location offers several private rooms to perform skin resurfacing, injectable treatments, along with other longevity medical services. In addition, the DermaBar luxury retail experience provides the highest quality clinical-grade skincare on the island of Maui. The team of experts at RevitalizeMaui is available to create custom skin care regimens for patients.

About RevitalizeMaui:
For many years, Dr. Emeka Okwuje wrestled with the following questions: Can you actually pause the aging clock? Can you really look as great as you feel? He came to the conclusion that you actually can. Having children later in his life drove him to become more focused on reducing the effects of aging. And in fact, it’s the main reason why he founded RevitalizeMaui Aesthetic & Longevity Medicine Center in 2016.
Since then, the clinic has treated more than 16,000 patients, becoming one of the most renowned, reputable and prestigious anti-aging medical practices on Maui and beyond.
