My Story: Built on Dedication, Driven by Dreams
The journey of Skin Bar NYC is rooted in almost two decades of passion, personal transformation, and clinical excellence.
Hello, I’m Leisa, the Owner and Senior Clinical Esthetician here at Skin Bar NYC. My lifelong dedication to skin health began 18 years ago, starting in 2007 at one of NYC's top medspas on the Upper East Side. That rigorous training instilled in me the "no shortcuts" philosophy and the uncompromising standards of care that define my
practice today.
In May 2011, I began working right here, when this space was known by another name. The pivotal moment came in 2013: when the former owner chose a new direction to become more focused on medspa services, Skin Bar NYC was born.
From Staff to Owner: A Dream Realized
What many don’t know is how deeply involved I became in the business's evolution. It was my long-held dream to one day own my own medspa. Alongside the former owner, I personally developed the treatment protocols we use today, making sure they were truly effective and tested.
I knew authenticity was key because I understood the struggle firsthand.
I navigated my own challenges with adult acne, scarring, and pigmentation. As I got older, aging became a factor, too. I knew there wasn't one simple fix; everything needed to be thoughtfully customized. This personal mission led to the creation of our signature bundles, designed to stop, prevent, and reverse the signs of aging with integrity. Along this journey, I've gained many cherished clients who have become like family and friends—some of whom have been with me for over 10 years. In December 2025, that 18-year dream came true: I proudly became the owner of Skin Bar NYC. This is the place I've poured my heart and soul into, and now it is truly mine.
My team and I welcome you.
Let us use our proven expertise and unwavering compassion to guide you to your most radiant skin, empowering you to be the best you can be.
