Seattle Skin Therapy · Kenmore, Washington

Menu ofServices.

A small menu, deliberately. Each service is a framework rather than a fixed protocol, adapted to the skin in the room on the day of treatment.

Signature Skin Therapy

Choose the time.The facial is created for you.

You do not need to select a device, diagnose your own skin or assemble a treatment from a list of enhancements. Every full facial preserves the complete classical ritual: cleansing, personalized exfoliation, skilled extraction when appropriate, facial and décolleté massage, a treatment masque, professional preparations and finishing care. Advanced techniques are integrated when they have a clear purpose within the treatment.

Modalities

Therapeutic tools,selected for the skin.

Technology is not the treatment. It is one of the tools available within a larger treatment philosophy. Modalities are not sold as enhancements or accumulated within a single appointment. They are chosen because the skin in front of me has a use for them that day.

Diamond Microdermabrasion

Mechanical exfoliation with a diamond-tipped wand and suction, used to refine surface texture and prepare the skin for what follows.

Dermaplaning

Manual removal of dead surface cells and fine vellus hair with a sterile blade, leaving a smoother surface and better product penetration.

Enzyme Exfoliation

Enzymatic loosening of surface cells, generally gentler than mechanical methods and useful where the skin needs refinement without abrasion.

Infrared Warming

Gentle warmth used to soften the skin and follicular contents before extraction, and to make the treatment more comfortable.

European Extractions

Methodical, patient clearing of congestion with proper preparation and restraint. Extraction is a skill of judgment as much as technique.

High Frequency

An alternating current delivered through a glass electrode, used selectively after extraction and in some acne-prone protocols. Described in detail below.

Microcurrent

Low-level current applied along the facial contours, used for its sculpting and toning effect within a treatment sequence.

LED Photobiomodulation

Specific wavelengths of light applied to the skin, often used within calming, restorative and post-treatment care.

Facial and Décolleté Massage

Lymphatic and sculpting movement that supports circulation and drainage while forming much of the sensory character of the treatment.

Gua Sha Inspired Technique

Selected sculpting movements adapted within a contemporary facial protocol, with respect for their origin in traditional Chinese practice.

Professional Masks

Treatment masques chosen for the moment: clarifying, hydrating, calming or barrier-supporting rather than routine.

Paraffin Hand Treatment

A warm, quiet addition to the hour, offered while the face is resting under mask or light.

High Frequency

An old instrument,used with modern restraint.

High-frequency devices apply an alternating electrical current through a glass electrode held against or just above the skin. They have a long history in professional aesthetic practice and remain useful in specific circumstances.

I may incorporate high frequency after extraction, or within selected acne-prone protocols, for its drying effect, its mild thermal stimulation and the localized production of reactive oxygen species and ozone around the electrode.

What it is not: a cure for acne, a treatment that eliminates bacteria, a way to permanently change pore size, or a significant collagen-building intervention. It does not treat disease. Where a skin condition needs medical care, it needs a physician rather than a device.

I would rather understate a device than oversell it.

Is This Right For Me?

If you are unsure,begin at the beginning.

The New Client Skin Therapy exists for exactly this question. It is the appointment where your skin is assessed, your history is heard and a direction is established.

Choose it if you are new to the practice, uncertain where to begin, returning to professional skin care after time away, or ready for a more individualized relationship with your skin. From there we decide together what ongoing care should look like, including how often you genuinely need to be seen.

If you are preparing for a procedure with a physician or injector, or recovering from one, mention it when you book so the appointment can be planned around their instructions and timing.

Every treatment begins with the same question. What does this skin need today?
