Services
Aesthetics by Desiree delivers professional Korean skincare and results-driven esthetic treatments in St. Petersburg, Florida, curated by licensed esthetician Desiree Strong.
Licensed since 1995 with over 30 years in medical aesthetics, Desiree specializes in Korean skincare science, topical PLLA, and corrective treatments for aging, rosacea, acne, and melasma. Every service is customized after a one-on-one skin assessment, using professional-only lines including TOV Medical, Dr. esthé, Isdin, Trandmi, Corthe, and KrX.
Korean Facials
Korean facials at Aesthetics by Desiree use professional-grade Korean skincare and encapsulated-technology treatments unavailable at most St. Petersburg spas. Unlike conventional facials that sit on the surface, these protocols deliver actives like topical PLLA, PDRN, and gold-therapy formulations deeper into the skin using LED, ultrasound, and EMS modalities. Options range from the Needle-Free Filler Facial for topical plumping and firmness to brightening, clarifying, and hydrating treatments. Each is tailored to your skin's condition that day for smoother, firmer, more radiant results with zero downtime.
Custom Facials & Skin Consultations
Custom facials begin where generic facials end: with a professional assessment of your skin's actual needs. Desiree evaluates your concerns, current products, and goals, then builds a treatment combining cleansing, exfoliation, extractions when appropriate, targeted actives, and a finishing mask. Available in 60, 75, and 90-minute VIP formats, plus in-person and virtual consultations for a personalized at-home skincare plan. This is skincare from a practitioner with 30 years behind the treatment chair, not a template applied to every face.
Chemical Peels
Professional chemical peels resurface and renew the skin far beyond what any at-home product can reach. Desiree selects from Korean and multi-acid peel systems calibrated to your skin type and goals, from gentle no-downtime resurfacing to advanced brightening peels that target uneven tone, congestion, and rough texture. Each peel includes a skin assessment and personalized post-care so results build safely. For experienced peel clients, deeper formulations address discoloration, scarring, and fine lines with controlled, professional-strength precision.
Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning removes surface buildup and fine vellus hair in a single professional exfoliation, leaving skin immediately smoother and brighter. More precise than a scrub and more thorough than at-home tools, this treatment reveals a fresh surface, improves the look of dullness and uneven texture, and creates the ideal canvas for skincare and makeup to absorb and apply flawlessly. Frequently paired with a facial or peel for a complete resurfacing session.
Microneedling & RF Microneedling
Microneedling stimulates the skin's own renewal process to improve the appearance of acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven texture, fine lines, and laxity. Aesthetics by Desiree offers both traditional microneedling and radiofrequency microneedling for the face and neck, which combines controlled microchannels with RF energy for deeper firming and remodeling than needling alone. Every treatment includes a consultation and detailed aftercare. This is corrective, results-oriented work drawing on Desiree's continuing education in medical aesthetics.
Brows & Facial Waxing
Precise brow shaping and facial waxing frame the face and refine every feature. Services include customized brow shaping, brow lamination with tint for fuller and more defined brows, and gentle facial waxing for the brows, lip, chin, and full face. Each service is tailored to your hair growth, skin sensitivity, and desired shape, and finished with aftercare guidance so skin stays calm and smooth.
