Animated Aesthetics Studio

Animated Aesthetics Studio is a skin care studio in Phoenix, founded and run by Alli Rann-Mendoza. The stated mission is to move troubled skin toward health using professional products, advanced techniques and education. The business describes itself as a trusted Phoenix acne specialist and says its approach is results-driven and aimed at long-term skin health rather than quick fixes.

Visits begin with a personalized plan. New clients start with the Level 1 Reset, which includes a double cleanse, a skin analysis and a homecare routine, and may add gentle exfoliation, extractions, customized LED light therapy and a calming or hydrating mask. Returning clients can book the Level 2 Corrective facial, which adds an oxygen mask, customized exfoliation, extractions, LED light therapy, and serums, moisturizer and SPF. Every client receives a written recap after each appointment that covers the treatment, the observations made and recommended care at home.

The studio is set up to feel more like a place to relax than a clinical treatment room, with soft lighting and a calm atmosphere. Ongoing care is available through bi-weekly acne maintenance treatments, and the Level 3 Advanced facial is aimed at acne scarring, texture and longer-term change in the skin through deeper removal of skin. Animated Brazilian Wax is also offered, along with a skincare retail selection of 35 products from Colorescience, Face Reality and GlyMed Plus. The studio publishes a blog with skin care articles.

Treatments are customized to each client's skin, lifestyle and goals. The facial approach begins by calming and strengthening the skin barrier, then moves to corrective treatments as the skin becomes healthier.

Soft lighting and a calming setting designed to feel relaxing rather than clinical.
