KH Office Visit

Mistica is a true artist! My results are always subtle, and just enough for people to notice that I look refreshed, and a bit more youthful.

SD Office Visit

I visited the SkinLaB for my first time on Tuesday. I knew in advance that my visit would be great because I put my trust in Mistica years ago. I was blown away at the esthetics of the space. Really beautiful!! Upon entering the space, I was greeted by a very professional receptionist. Kudos to All at Skin Lab

EH Office Visit

If you’re anything like me, you can find the whole skin care industry a little intimidating. I try to use all of the right serums, lotions, and oils, but nothing made me feel or look quite right. I felt like I was throwing money down the drain and looking worse for it. Nearing 40 and seeing wrinkles, I knew I was ready to start some treatments, but had no idea where to start and was so afraid I wouldn’t look like myself anymore. I made a consult with Mistica, and in 30 short minutes, she took all of my worries away. She completely redid (and simplified!) my skin care routine for less than what I was throwing away at Sephora, and gently eased me into filler and neurotoxins (completely at my request). She even told me I didn’t need things I thought I did. She was absolutely wonderful and comforting and I’m so glad that I went. The office is beautiful and the staff is friendly. Run to get an appointment, you won’t be sorry.
