Grace Zhou

Grace Zhou is a skincare practice in Pittsburgh with two locations. The Skin Center is on South Aiken Avenue (806 S. Aiken Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15232), and a second location is on Swallow Hill Road (2275 Swallow Hill Road, Suite 2400, PA 15220).

The business states that its founder is a board certified esthetician with more than 25 years of skincare experience. Facial treatments are adjusted to each client's skin type and what they want from the visit, and the business describes its skincare treatments as distinctive.

Facial offerings include unique signature facials, facial massage, and facials with stem-cell treatments. A newer facial technology combines oxygenation, exfoliation and infusion. Chemical peels are a particular specialty, and the business also offers micro-dermabrasion and micro-needling.

Micro-blading is offered for eyebrows. The business notes that pigment takes about 4 to 6 weeks to settle, or about 8 weeks for lips, and that the treated area looks healed after roughly 10 days. One session may not give the final result, so a touch-up within 3 months of the first procedure may be needed. Complicated cases involving removal, color correction, camouflage, scar tissue or iron disorder may carry an extra charge for additional touch-ups. Clients who sleep on their side or face down should mention it beforehand, since special aftercare instructions apply.

Consultations can be booked through the website or by contacting the office. Aiken Avenue is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, and Saturday from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm. Swallow Hill Road is open Wednesday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. The main phone number is 412-877-4279.

Treatments are tailored to each client's skin type and the results they want.
