The Skin Haus & Co.

This client just completed all of her acne and scar revision treatments and is now moving on to relaxing maintenance facials😴.

These results prove that consistency and trust in me & the process pay off 🤩💞

After trying multiple estheticians, dermatologists, and med spas, this beautiful client finally found her way to me, and I couldn’t be more grateful to help her on her skin journey 🥹.

Unfortunately, her skin had been repeatedly misdiagnosed and treated with aggressive treatments that compromised her skin barrier rather than repairing it. She had received a combination of hydrafacials, microneedling, and prescription treatments that, while beneficial in certain cases, were not appropriate for her specific skin condition. These treatments led to increased inflammation, irritation, and overall skin barrier dysfunction..
The top photo was taken before her first treatment with me in November, and the bottom photo is from today, January 28, right before her third treatment. Our approach has been focused on restoring skin barrier function, improving microcirculation, and reducing inflammation through a more simple skincare regimen and corrective treatments.

To educate:
Hydrafacials can be beneficial for exfoliation and hydration and a glow, but for compromised skin, the suction can sometimes exacerbate inflammation and weaken the skin barrier further.
Microneedling, while it excellent for collagen production, treating scarring, fine lines, wrinkles, etc. it should not be performed on highly inflamed or compromised skin, as it can lead to more trauma, redness, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Lastly, every dermatologists favorite… overuse of prescription topicals, such as retinoids or aggressive acne medications, can strip the skin’s natural lipid barrier, leading to increased sensitivity, dehydration, and prolonged irritation.

This is why it’s crucial to seek out a knowledgeable, results-driven esthetician who understands how to assess your skin’s unique needs before recommending treatments. Not all skin responds well to the same treatments and protocols, that’s why all my treatments are customized to EACH clients skin type because no two are the same..
If you are struggling with your skin, PLEASE do your research, find someone who is passionate about skin health, continuously educated and fully committed to delivering results. 🤍

Educating you guys is so important to me, that’s why when you receive a treatment with me you always learn something new so here’s a little tip/lesson:

Fine lines can sometimes appear more prominent due to dehydration or lack of moisture. While using hydrating moisturizers and serums is essential, they can’t fully pe*****te into the skin & work to the best of their ability if there’s a layer of dead skin blocking them. That’s why regular facials and exfoliation are so important—I can’t stress this enough

This transformation happened in just 45 minutes, showing how professional treatments are key for restoring hydration, improving skin texture, and allowing your skincare products to work more effectively. Consistency is key 🤩

An acne transformation while pregnant IS possible!
This transformation is a perfect example of why education and a holistic approach matter. While I’m still so happy with these results, we still have work to do. But what makes this case unique? One month into her treatments, she found out she was pregnant!

There’s a big misconception that pregnancy means you can’t get facials or treat acne, when in reality, you absolutely can! While some ingredients should be avoided (like retinoids and high percentages of salicylic acid), there are still safe and effective options for managing acne, scarring, and overall skin health during pregnancy. It’s all about choosing the right ingredients and treatments that are pregnancy-safe while balancing internal and external factors.

Acne can be controlled, whether pregnant or not—but it requires a personalized approach. All estheticians are trained in skin care, but I took it a step further. I’ve furthered my education in learning about the body, our hormones, gut health, and nutrition, allowing me to connect the dots between internal health and external skin conditions. This deeper understanding of the body, combined with advanced acne knowledge, is what sets me apart.

Look at what we’ve accomplished all while navigating pregnancy and hormonal changes, I cannot wait for more progress! 🤩

Acne Transformation – 4 Facials Apart 🤩

Today was her 5th treatment, and we’ve officially completed her acne facials. Her skin has come such a long way, and now that we’ve calmed the breakouts, we’re shifting our focus to treating scarring.

*Next month, we’ll begin microneedling to target pigmentation and texture, helping her achieve an even smoother, more radiant complexion. The progress speaks for itself and I’m so happy for this angel hair boss babe 🥹❤️

A Salmon DNA Facial is an advanced skin treatment that uses polynucleotides derived from salmon DNA to promote skin regeneration, hydration, and anti-aging benefits. Salmon DNA is known for its ability to stimulate collagen production, repair damaged skin, and improve overall texture and elasticity. This treatment deeply hydrates the skin, enhances collagen and elastin production, accelerates skin regeneration and healing, reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation, and brightens and evens out skin tone. It is ideal for dull, aging, sensitive, or damaged skin and is often combined with microneedling or microchanneling for deeper pe*******on and optimal results.

Achieve an instant glow with this amazing treatment 🍣🧬

Acne can have various causes, and no two skin types are the same, but these are some of the most common factors
What sets me apart from other estheticians and acne specialists? I don’t just treat and control acne—I educate. Understanding your skin is just as important as the treatments themselves. Acne isn’t a one-sided battle; it’s a joint effort, and I’m here to guide you every step of the way. 🤍

Receiving reviews from you all make me so happy 🤍

SALMON S***M DNA MICRONEEDLING RESULTS 🍣🧬

I’ve been microneedling for years and have experimented with countless techniques, but nothing compares to the transformative results and glow achieved with Salmon DNA. (And PRP, that’s another favorite of mine😉)

The results speak for themselves—these photos show just one month of progress. We completed another treatment tonight, and I can’t wait to see her continued improvement next month!

Salmon DNA truly is a game-changer for skin rejuvenation.

Extractions are key when it comes to managing blackheads and clogged pores. While at-home skincare is essential for maintaining clear skin, professional extractions are the most effective way to safely remove impurities without causing damage or irritation. Attempting to extract blackheads yourself can lead to inflammation, scarring, or pushing debris deeper into the skin. As a professional, I use the proper techniques and tools to ensure the pores are cleared effectively and safely, leaving your skin refreshed and ready to absorb your skincare products more efficiently. Regular extractions, paired with a consistent homecare routine, are the foundation for achieving and maintaining smooth, healthy skin
