Our philosophy is based on a holistic approach to skin care. Many factors, including eating habits, life-style, stress, hormonal changes, etc., contribute to skin conditions. These factors are explored with our clients and together we formulate a skin care program to address individual needs.
Our clients’ skin conditions have improved, allowing them to remove the layers of make up used to cover skin imperfections. As the improvements become apparent, the clients’ confidence, self-esteem and overall well-being have improved.
Our clients are multi-ethnic, and many referrals are made by our clients,
dermatologists, plastic surgeons and nurses.
About the skin studio
The Skin Studio is located in the beautiful rustic environment of Piedmont Lane on Piedmont Avenue in Oakland, California.
We opened with the mission and philosophy of delivering the highest quality of care to our clients from a medical-esthetic approach. With this in mind, we begin with an anatomical and physiological understanding of the body’s largest organ -- the skin.
After assessing the skin of each individual, products and treatment programs are customized and modified to meet our client’s changing needs.
By encouraging our clients to fully participate in their skin care program, together we have achieved amazing results.
