That's usually when people find me
7 in 10 say they have sensitive skin. Dermatologists estimate only 1 in 10 truly do.
So if you think yours is, there’s an 86% chance you’re wrong.
The rest have reactive skin. Skin worn down, over-treated, and pushed until it started fighting back. That isn’t how your skin was born. It’s what happened to it.
And unlike sensitivity, it’s something I can change.
You've tried the lasers, the injectables, the dermatologist, the med spa, the routine that worked for someone else, and your skin is still doing whatever it wants.
This is a private skincare studio in Winter Park, FL. By appointment, one person at a time, no menu to pick from. I look at your skin the day you're sitting in front of me and build the whole treatment plan and homecare routine around what it's actually doing. Not what's trending. Not what's on sale. What YOUR skin needs.
Why nothing you've tried has worked
Skin that won't calm down usually has a barrier problem, and it rarely gets explained. That thin protective layer holds your moisture in and keeps irritation out. Years of over-treatment wear it down: too many actives, too many procedures stacked together, a routine built for somebody else's face.
Once the barrier is compromised, everything just sits on top of it. Redness. Reactivity. Breakouts. That tight, dry feeling no cream seems to fix.
Doing more almost never helps. Knowing what to pull back, and in what order, is the real work. That's what I do.
I work with men and athletes, too.
Barrier damage. Rosacea. Sun damage. Acne that follows someone into their thirties and forties. These conditions don’t care who has them, and men have mostly been left to sort them out alone, usually with whatever's on the shelf at the drugstore. Athletes deal with the same list, plus sweat, heat, friction, and skin that takes a beating week after week.
The approach doesn't change. I look at what your skin is actually doing, and I treat the cause. No preset menu, no upsell.

How I work
Skin isn't static, so I don't run preset protocols. Every visit starts with a real look, and when I need to see more, digital skin analysis shows me what's going on under the surface. Then I decide, not off a list of packages, but off what's in front of me.
The goal never changes: less noise, nothing overcorrected, a barrier that can hold its own again.
What I focus on
Skin that's doing fine and could be doing better
Compromised skin barrier
Rosacea and redness
Reactive, sensitized skin
Chronic dryness
Breakouts and adult/teen acne
Premature aging
Keeping skin healthy, the same way healthy teeth still get a professional cleaning
What to expect on your first visit
STEP 01
In-depth skin analysis
A digital scan reads what's happening below the surface before any decisions are made.
STEP 02
Custom treatment is decided
Techniques, modalities, and products are chosen in real time based on your skin the day of your appointment.
STEP 03
A plan to take home
A specific home care routine based on what your skin showed me. What you do between sessions impacts your results.
WHY THIS IS DIFFERENT
It's private. One on one, every time. You are not in a rotation like most med spas.
Training in U.S., Russia, France, and Japan, including Sculptural Face Lifting Massage under Yakov Gershkovich.
Equipment most studios won't invest in. Medical Director oversight on the clinical side.
Sterilization that goes further than the state requires, including an autoclave Florida says I don't need. I bought one anyway.
The honesty. You will never be sold a treatment or product you don't need. If something won't help you, I'll say so.
Testimonials
"I called to book the sculptural face lifting massage because I had an event coming up. Alisa asked me a lot of questions about my skin and then told me I actually wasn't a good candidate for it. Honestly I wasn't sure about switching, I already had an esthetician I'd been seeing for my breakouts and I felt bad leaving. But it had been like 7 months and my skin really wasn't getting better, I was just telling myself to be patient. Alisa said come in for a consult first, so I did, and I figured I'd give it a shot. That was over 2 years ago now and I'm still with her! My skin is clear now, I get compliments all the time, and I actually love our chats during my treatments."
— Andrea M.
"My skin flared every month before my cycle, breakouts and little white bumps, and nothing I tried calmed it. Alisa looked at it and told me it needed medical support, not just facials, and sent me to a dermatologist. My derm said nothing was wrong. I pushed and got the prescription. From the start, Alisa was treating me every few weeks and had me on a homecare routine that finally was working, and I took the antibiotics for one month alongside all of it. Six months in, my skin is clear. The redness is gone, it doesn't flare anymore, and I've stretched my visits out because I don't need them as often. She was the first person who actually took it seriously."
— Jennifer H.
"I was actually Alisa's friend before I was her client. For years I had this chronic dryness and my old esthetician kept telling me I needed to exfoliate more, she gave me these strong peel pads and I used them like she said. It just kept getting worse. When Alisa opened her own place I went in for a consult, and we did a skin scan. My hydration came back at 4, when the minimum is supposed to be 25. No wonder my skin was miserable. Alisa changed my whole treatment plan and my routine at home. It's been 3 years now, my skin feels calm and hydrated, it looks plumper, and I get many compliments."
— Gina T.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
No. A med spa is a medical practice offering injectables, lasers, and devices under a physician. I don't do any of that.
This is a private studio with one practitioner. Every appointment is one person at a time, no rotation of staff, no menu to choose from. I'm a licensed esthetician, a medical director oversees the clinical side, and the work here is restorative: reading what your skin is actually doing, then rebuilding it in an order it can tolerate. That takes time, and it takes knowing your skin.
If what you need is a filler or a laser, I'll tell you, and I'll send you to someone good.
-
Go, if you need what they do. Injectables and laser resurfacing are real tools, and for the right skin at the right time they work. If that's what you need, I'll say so and send you to someone good.
The trouble isn't the treatments. It's the order. Aggressive work assumes the skin underneath can recover from it, and if the barrier is already compromised, it can't. So the result doesn't hold, the skin reacts, and the answer is usually another treatment. That's how someone ends up in my chair having spent thousands and gotten nowhere.
A dermatologist diagnoses and prescribes. A med spa treats. Restorative skincare is the work in between: figuring out what your skin can actually tolerate, and rebuilding it in an order that holds. Sometimes that means you're ready for the laser. Sometimes it means you never needed it.
-
Some skin doesn't need an esthetician. It needs a dermatologist. If what I see on your face is medical, a rash that needs a diagnosis, cystic acne that requires prescription treatment, active infection, I will tell you that directly, and I'll send you to a dermatologist I trust. Referring you out is part of doing this properly, not a failure of it. I would rather lose the appointment than treat something I shouldn't be treating. That's not a policy. It's the whole point.
-
Because fine now and fine in ten years are two different things. A lot of my work with clients whose skin looks good is prevention: catching sun damage before it surfaces, keeping the barrier resilient, and building tolerance before you ever need repair. You don't need a crisis to get value out of a real diagnostic and treatment.
