Indigo Esthetics

Indigo Esthetics is a skin care and hair removal business in Bothell, led by owner and esthetician Cassandra Wilson-Emmons. The business says its treatments should be affordable, efficient and accessible, and that it focuses on science and competitive pricing.

Hair removal is done by electrolysis, which places a fine probe into each follicle and uses a salt water chemical reaction, radio frequency heat, or both to destroy the hair. The studio chooses among three methods based on hair type, density and treatment area. Electrolysis is priced from $90 per hour with a one-hour minimum, and Advanced Electrolysis is listed at $90. The business describes electrolysis as LGBTQ friendly. It calls electrolysis the only FDA-approved permanent hair removal service in the US and says it is safe and effective for all skin types, hair colors and body areas. It also says regular treatments can take 3 to 6 months to show a difference and 12 to 18 months for hair-free skin, and that results vary.

Skin care includes diamond-tip microderm, priced from $50 per treatment, which uses a suction pen with a diamond-tip abrasive to remove the outer layer of dead skin. It can be used alone or with other treatments to address fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, acne scars and large pores. It is not recommended for sensitized skin or severe active acne. Chemical peels, priced from $80 per treatment, use a low pH solution at a light or medium depth set by the treatment plan. They are usually done as a series, and peeling can range from light dryness to a slight sunburn feeling.

Visits start with a complimentary consultation, and general questions can be answered by text or email. An appointment is needed for a precise treatment plan and pricing estimate. Treatment protocols are customized to each client, and a home care routine is recommended as part of the professional plan. The studio describes its space as offering a personal touch.
