The work
Real treatments, real skin. A look at sessions in progress at our Roseville studio. Tap any photo to enlarge.
Photographs are of real clients at H.A. Skin Lab, used with written consent and not retouched. Individual results vary.
The science
Acne is a follicle problem, not a hygiene problem. This is the difference.
Exfoliation and extraction clear the plug. This is the mechanical part.
Actives reduce how much oil the gland produces and how fast cells stick.
Inflammation is what leaves marks. Bringing it down protects the skin from itself.
A barrier that works keeps it from starting again. This is the part people skip.
Assessment
Tap a zone.
Small, uniform bumps here are usually mechanical. Hair products, hats, and helmets sit on this zone all day.
Pattern is a clue, not a diagnosis. We confirm it under magnification.
Severity
Your grade decides how aggressive we can be and how long it will take.

My skin has never looked this good
I struggled with acne for years, and my skin has never looked this good. I feel comfortable now without foundation or filters in my photos, and this is only the beginning of my program. I honestly recommend Anastasiia as a specialist for problem skin.
Now my child looks in the mirror with joy
Thank you so much for such a professional and thorough approach. Every day I am happy to see my child look in the mirror without fear of a new breakout, and instead with a smile. I loved that the program covered everything we needed: nutrition guidance, a home routine chosen for us, and professional sessions. I wish you many grateful clients who, like us, are not afraid to trust you.
The results went beyond everything we hoped for
I want to give huge thanks to our esthetician Anastasiia. My child went through a course of sessions and the results went beyond everything we hoped for. Anastasiia is attentive, gentle, and highly professional. She explains everything in detail, chooses the home routine, and supports you at every step of the program. We are very happy and confidently recommend her to anyone who wants to see a real change in their skin.
It really works
Before coming to Anastasiia I tried countless products from Instagram and TikTok that estheticians and bloggers recommended. Every month I bought something new, with no result. Now I want to tell everyone so people do not waste money and time. Beautiful skin does not need a hundred jars, it needs a clear system and the right basic routine. I am very happy with my result and recommend seeing a specialist who will build your home routine properly. No single product ever gave me a result like this.
You truly rescued me
Nastia, thank you so much. You truly rescued me, not only from acne but from that feeling when you do not want to leave the house or show your face. Honestly, I did not expect a result like this. To me it is simply incredible. I am endlessly grateful and will absolutely recommend you to others. You are my magician. What you do is priceless. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Within a few weeks my skin was so much better
I really wanted to write and share my result: I love everything about it. After about three weeks my skin already looked so much better. The routine you chose truly suits me. No one had ever built such a precise and easy plan for me before. The products are comfortable to use, breakouts are far fewer, and my pores look cleaner and tighter. Overall my skin looks and feels so much better.
Healthy skin is all I dreamed of
Healthy skin is all I dreamed of for the last ten years. I am even a little embarrassed that I doubted at first, but now I am so glad I trusted Anastasiia and started the program.
My skin feels firm and fresh
After my session my skin feels firmer, tighter, and fresh. I am very happy with the result and always enjoy coming back to my favorite esthetician.
The best SPF I have ever had
This is the best sunscreen I have ever had. It works for acne prone skin, applies comfortably, and gives the skin a beautiful natural glow. The perfect SPF for summer.
For the first time my skin stayed clear after a flight
Nastia, a quick update: for the first time my skin stayed clear after a flight. I kept up my routine even while traveling, and my cycle started too, yet my skin still looks great. I am so grateful, and every morning I think of you when I look in the mirror. Thank you so much.
The session was as gentle as could be
Thank you so much for the wonderful skincare. I had a facial cleanse, a peel, and DMK Enzyme Therapy. The session was as gentle and comfortable as could be. I am already dreaming about the next one.
My skin has not looked this good in years
I am incredibly happy I found Anastasiia. My skin has not looked this good in a very long time, probably around ten years. I am simply enjoying the result. What I love most is that I hardly need makeup now: my tone is even and my skin looks fresh and natural. There is not a trace of foundation in the photo, and I do not even want to think about makeup.
My clear face, thanks to Anastasiia
I am very happy with my skin. It is noticeably clearer, calmer, and looks so much better. Thank you, Anastasiia, for the professional care and the result.
Even a simple routine made a difference
I am very happy with the routine I was given. Only one small breakout is left, and otherwise my skin looks good. I want to book my next session and keep using the products she recommended.
My skin glows and shines
My skin after the session is simply a wonder. It glows, it shines, and I cannot get enough of it. The exosomes and everything Anastasiia does truly work. I even filmed myself with no filters because I was so happy with the result.
My skin feels wonderful
Thank you so much for the session and the ongoing helpful advice. My skin feels wonderful, looks great, and there was no unwanted reaction at all.
The result is already showing
Thank you. I love the retinol product, and the result is already showing. My skin does not get dry, and it stays hydrated enough. I am very happy.
My skin takes to the routine well
I love how my skin feels through the day after applying the new product. The tightness and pressure are almost gone, and the rare single breakouts clear quickly. Overall everything is great and the routine suits my skin.
So happy with my cleanse
Today I saw Anastasiia for the first time on a recommendation and I am so happy I did. After the cleanse my face looks fresh and cared for. Anastasiia uses quality masks and peels and does everything carefully and professionally. I gladly recommend her to anyone looking for a great esthetician.
I left feeling rested
I loved the facial massage: it tones and relaxes at the same time. After the masks my skin was brighter and softer, and fine lines smoothed out. I left Anastasiia feeling rested and refreshed.
My cheeks look better
After the session my skin felt wonderful. I especially noticed that my cheeks look better. Thank you for the lovely result.
Far fewer breakouts
Only a short time after starting my home routine, the breakouts began to fade. The cream works beautifully and my skin is much calmer. Thank you for your help and for the routine you chose so well.
The home routine suited my skin perfectly
I am so grateful to Anastasiia for her recommendations. The breakout cream, the serum, and the Casmara products suited my skin perfectly. I have finally found a home routine I am truly happy with.
No new breakouts after my cleanse
Thank you for the result. Within a few days of my cleanse my skin fully recovered. In the past I often got new breakouts after such sessions, but this time my skin stayed calm and clear. The result looks wonderful now. I am so glad I found Anastasiia.
A beautifully chosen routine
It is such a pleasure to find a specialist who truly understands what the skin needs. Thank you, Anastasiia, for a home routine chosen so professionally and precisely.
After a few weeks my skin began to glow
When I came to Anastasiia, my skin was in one of the worst states it had ever been. I did not even want to go outside, and breakouts kept appearing. Thanks to Anastasiia's work and to following the routine and nutrition guidance, within two and a half to three weeks my skin began to glow and the marks slowly started to fade. I am very happy with the result and admire her work.
I fought acne since I was thirteen
The best specialist. I fought acne since I was thirteen and tried many products and methods that did not work. Only thanks to Anastasiia's sessions and recommendations did I see a real result within a few months. After dozens of different products, the routine she chose gave the best effect, with no irritation, dryness, or stinging. I highly recommend her.
Fewer breakouts within a week
Only a week has passed since my consultation and my new home routine, and my breakouts are already noticeably fewer. Overall my skin feels good, and I love the result.
