Pure Skincare by Elizabeth

Elizabeth Thomas has worked as an aesthetician since 2008, first at several spas, before opening her own business in February 2016. The studio is a solo practice, and Elizabeth handles each session herself.

The work centers on hands-on facial techniques and massage rather than machines, using pure, high-quality ingredients. Facials are paired with aromatherapy and an unhurried pace. Treatments are usually given as a series, with each facial adjusted to the client's skin needs and concerns, and home care plans and guidance on lifestyle and diet are part of the process.

New clients begin with a free 45-minute skin wellness consultation, in person or virtual. It covers a skin analysis, a review of health history and home care habits, and a follow-up email with recommendations. New clients should contact Elizabeth before booking.

Signature offerings include the Dermal Lift Treatment, which starts with an enzyme chosen for the skin condition and adds fascia and intraoral massage, LED, lymphatic drainage, Gua Sha and cupping as suited to each client. Holistic Nano Infusion uses tiny needles on a pen device to deliver serums into the skin; the business states it involves no downtime and it is not performed on nursing or pregnant clients. Qi Beauty treatments use micro magnets and acupuncture points drawing on Traditional Chinese Medicine principles.

Services are by appointment only. Cancellations or changes are not allowed within 3 days of an appointment, and cancelling within 72 hours or not arriving makes the client responsible for the full session cost. Session costs must be paid before the next booking. The booking profile shows a 5.0 rating from 26 reviews.
