SkinSpirit

Sheila Anderson is the absolute best in her field. Have seen her for 11 years. Skin spirit office in u village is quiet and has great products. Location upstairs is discreet and easy.

Just had my first appointment and it went great! The staff was very friendly and helpful. Elisa made me feel very comfortable and at ease during the procedure. Definitely will be going back!

Have been seeing Sheila Anderson for botox for many years. She is amazing and would follow her to the moon. The staff there is fantastic too. Couldn’t be nicer or more accommodating.

I have received Juvéderm injections in my lips at least 20 times in my life from different places and this was by far the best they have ever looked !!! The staff is amazing and I will be coming back here from now on.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to Skin Spirit for hosting my Botox Birthday Bash! As soon as you walk in you feel at ease with their beautiful ambience and friendly staff that really went above and beyond to make sure the event went off perfectly! Kevan Petterson, who administered my injections, was very patient and knowledgeable with me as it was my first time getting botox, lip and cheek fillers. Everyone including me were ecstatic about our results, thank you again!

I’ve been seeing Kavina at SkinSpirit in University Village for a few months. I found the medical spa after moving to Seattle. I love SkinSpirit and would not go anywhere else for my skin care needs. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. I have had both micropenning and signature facials done by Kavina and she provides an excellent treatment and also has good tips and ideas for how you can better your skin. They carry an array of medical grade skin care products and I have yet to be disappointed with any of the products I have tried. I have also seen Diane for a Latisse and tretinoin prescription and she is very nice and takes her time to listen and provide recommendations and feedback. Overall, I am so happy with the services I have received from SkinSpirit and have recommended them to friends and family. I would recommend them to anyone who wants to better or maintain their skin health.

I went in to Skin Spirit recently to see Pinky Elliot for lip enhancement. She has an outstanding reputation in the skin industry. I knew of her from the days when I used to work at Calidora, who was purchased by Skin Spirit. She did such a fabulous job! No trout pout for me, just my lips but better. Pinky, thank you so much for giving back the lips I had when I was young! You’re such a gifted artist. Thank you for giving me back confidence and helping me feel pretty for my daughter’s wedding. You are truly amazing.

I came to Skin Spirit because I followed Dr George Baxter-​Holder there and its been a marvelous experience! The SkinSpirit staff are warm and professional, its so easy to check in and check out as well as make upcoming appointments. The U village facility is very convenient for me. Ive been to Bellevue as well and the location is spot on – easy in, easy out!
I am sure all the other practitioners are fabulous as well but I love Dr George’s inviting, inspiring approach. He doesn’t oversell you on anything and brings to you just what you need to look and feel amazing. His touch is gentle and pain is minimal!

This place is awesome! I went in for Lazer Hair removal. I knew nothing about it except that I wanted it done, and left with my first treatment already done and super knowledgable on what was happening. The staff was very friendly and helped put my nerves at ease.

I can’t believe I haven’t yet provided a review on SkinSpirit. I’ve been a client since 2006 (when it was Calidora Skin Clinic) and love love love this medi-​spa. The aestheticians, ARNPs, manager and staff are knowledgeable, kind and wonderful people. Staff are also helpful and patient when trying to help find the best time for appointments (not sure how they do it).
SkinSpirit clinicians and aestheticians never try to over-​sell you on anything, which I appreciate, and I always leave the clinic with either a new tip or reminder about skin care and products. And the suggestions they’ve provided have led to even more improved skin for me.
I got really lucky initially with Shelley as my aesthetician (she now works at several locations). She really loves her job and taking care of her clients. She is incredibly knowledgeable and keeps up on the latest products and treatments. Leah is also great. Pinky is fantastic and is a regional/​West Coast trainer for some of the treatments that are provided (which says a lot about her experience).
I’ve tried a range of services, including facials, chemical peels, laser and, just recently, micropenning. I can’t wait to see the results. I’m also a big fan of SkinMedica products and appreciate earning points through the Brilliant Distinctions program. Yes, this might sound like an ad but after nine years of care, I would never go anywhere else (and never even thought about it). Even my own parents forget my age because my skin looks so great.
Only one downside — I did remove myself from the email list over the last year; when SkinSpirit purchased Calidora, I felt inundated with emails that weren’t always relevant. But you can visit the website to see monthly specials and staff are good at keeping you posted on them, too. On the flip side, I am so happy that SkinSpirit was smart enough to keep the same amazing staff. I would be lost without this fabulous clinic.

I recently started going to Skin Spirit because I followed Sheila from The Larabee Center (in total I’ve probably been seeing her for five years). I haven’t seen any other staff at Skin Spirit, so cannot attest to their services, but Sheila is phenomenal! The clinic is nice but Sheila’s appointment room is very small so if you saw her at Larabee you have to get used to a more cramped space, which in truth can be quite claustrophobic… but somehow it hasn’t hurt her outstanding abilities :)

Shelia Anderson is the very best in her profession! She is personable, kind, and always helpful and encouraging! I love my experiences at Skin Spirit from the waiting room to the conclusion of the treatment!!! Robert Mussehl, a happy and satisfied client!:)

I had the Micropen facial and Botox. The Micropen was not painful; more like a very strong Clarisonic brush. This is now the next day, and the little bit of redness that I had is almost gone. But the best part is that my skin already feels incredibly soft. I can’t wait for next week when the results really kick in.
Botox here is always top notch. They really know what they are doing here. I will definitely be back! Thank you Skin Spirit!

I started seeing Adriana at Skin Spirit over a year ago. In my early thirties I began having breakouts of blackheads that I had never experienced before. Adriana asked a ton of questions our first visit in terms of products I used, sun exposure, laundry detergent I used, how often I washed my pillow cases, etc. She was extremely thorough in trying to help me determine why it was that I was beginning to deal with these issues. I had a couple of sessions with her which consisted of a lot extractions which is exactly what I needed. The overall appearance of my skin in terms of health was improving, but my breakouts were not.
The breakouts were becoming more cystic in nature and Adriana suggested I see a dermatologist as she suspected I may be developing adult onset acne which is completely hormonal. Sure enough, I was diagnosed with adult onset acne. Per Adriana’s suggestion I was able to let the dermatologist know what type of medication I would like to start with, since she has worked with many clients who suffer from this condition and she has seen the best results with this medication.
Adriana has been doing skin for over 10 years. She knows how to read your skin and make product recommendations based on what YOU need. At first I was skeptical about some of the products she recommended because they were so pricey. Adriana gave me some samples to try out at home before making such an expensive purchase, understanding my initial hesitation. What I appreciated most about Adriana is she was never pushy. She could sense the frustrations and self-​esteem issues I had developed because of my skin, she always encouraged me, pointed out aspects of my skin I had never noticed were improving, and reminded me (I am a dental hygienist) that most of the improvements I will see in my skin will be from the daily habits and products I use at home, in which she fully coaches you on based on your specific skin type.
Almost a year later my skin has dramatically improved partly thanks to the medication but more because of Adriana’s treatments, product recommendations, and vast amount of knowledge and know how. My skin has a glow to it I have never seen before, even in my teens! Even though I still get the occasional adult acne breakouts, the overall appearance of my skin is smooth and healthy.
I am writing this review today because Adriana pointed out something during my treatment this afternoon that I consider A MIRACLE! When I first saw Adriana I was unhappy with the wrinkles forming on my forehead, and I had inquired about botox. Adriana has been able to ELIMINATE those wrinkles through non-​invasive and more affordable treatments like microdermabrasion, chemical peels, and at home topical enzyme and retinol products. I know these specific results may not happen with everyone, but what is a guarantee is that Adriana will be able to customize your treatments and products to your specific skin type and individual needs producing nothing short of miraculous results. Thank you Adriana!

I have tried several different medical spas for Botox and far and away the best service and results I have received have been at SkinSpirit. In particular, Pinky Grewal has won me over as a lifetime customer for skills in applying Botox.

I’ve been going to Calidora at U Village for over 8 years. I have seen a number of practitioners over the years and give Calidora a high rating for their consistent services and approach to their clients. All of the practitioners have a patient, caring, educational approach to my treatments. I regularly see Shelley Sparker for my aesthetic services. Shelley is a natural talent in this industry. Additionally, she incorporates a holistic approach to my treatments, oftentimes education about diet, allergies and more to help me understand why my skin is reacting the way it does and steps I can take to make my skin and body better.
I’m a busy business owner and I do wish there were more later evening appointments available but the results I get from my treatments with Shelley are worth working 2 – 3 appointments per month into my schedule.
Services and customer interaction are excellent. I gave one less star only because I wish Skin Spirit would offer more discounted facial packages (discounted facial packages have been few and far between since Skin Spirit purchased Calidora) and even consider a loyalty program for those clients, like myself, who are dedicated and loyal clients of Calidora.

I got a facial on Friday with Megan, and it’s now Tuesday and I can’t stop looking at my skin in all its glowing glory! I have had many, many, many, facials for teenage and adult acne over the years and this was definitely the most thorough experience yet. I’m so happy I’ve found Megan especially in preparation for my upcoming wedding.
While at a steep price, you pay for what you get. The price alone knocked a star off, although, I’d much rather save up for a facial with Megan three times a year than get a series of ineffective treatments at a «steal.»

This review is long overdue. I started seeing Adriana 4 years ago when I found Calidora by chance at the U-​Village. She gives me the best facials ever!
I don’t live in Seattle so I can only return to her the few times that I visit Seattle. I was visiting Seattle again recently and went back to her now that the clinic has changed owners/​names. Adriana is still outstanding and gives me the most glorious facials of any aesthetician. I’ve had facials all over the world and nothing compares to her and her wonderful bedside manner and friendliness. I leave looking radiant and refreshed and my skin looks and feels amazing for weeks.
I give Adriana 5 stars, but I have to subtract one star for the front desk people who I feel are a little pushy and disagreeable at times. If you want to get your money’s worth with a beneficial and beautifying facial by a sweet lady, book an appointment with Adriana!

Someone I’ve known for about 6 months now was SHOCKED to learn that I am actually 9 years older than he thought I was! First of all. .. woohoo!!! Second of all, I owe it all to Meghan at SkinSpirit (formerly Calidora).
I’ve tried different types of facials in various spas, but this is the first place that has gotten serious about my skin care. Since going there, acne has become a thing of the past and my skin’s texture is amazing (if I do say so myself).
Meghan really works with you to understand what your skin needs from appointment and appointment, and adjusts her approach for what is happening, versus just doing the same thing every time. I really look forward to coming here once a month and getting my facial!

I love SkinSpirit. There is nothing worse than feeling like your skin is not looking its best and going in to a spa to be told all the things you do wrong… or having someone sell you on products you will not use. Pinky understands people are on a budget and she is not pushy and above all there is no judgment with her recommendations.
Pinky does an amazing job and her expertise and knowledge is something you really cannot put a price on though there is one. She is not someone who will push you to do more than you want either. I love that I can go there say I am on this budget what would you recommend and not have to worry about her overselling me things that I do not need. She listens to what you are looking for and then talks to you about your options. If you want to have botox, or filler and want to be in safe hands I highly recommend Pinky! My friends love her as well. I will definitely go back to her because of the way she treated me and because she is so knowledgable.
