About

Skintention is a skin care studio at 533 Peters Ave. in downtown Pleasanton. The studio describes itself as a specialist rather than a spa or generalist, and says acne correction has been its focus for over two decades. Barbara Perez founded the studio and leads its acne work.

Acne care is built around a plan for each client rather than a single treatment. Sessions start about every two weeks, and clearing typically takes three to four months on average. A visit may include a cleanse, skin analysis, an enzyme mask or exfoliating peel, extractions, a treatment mask, moisturizer and sunscreen, and products are sold separately. A first visit can be a 30 to 45 minute acne consultation for $95, or a 60 to 75 minute consultation with an initial treatment for $200. Each plan pairs in-studio work with personalized homecare guidance.

Outside of acne, the studio offers facials such as Diamond Glow, a 60 minute treatment that combines exfoliation, extraction and serum infusion in one step, TAMA Facial Therapy, which uses a low-level electric pulse, and The Skintention.al Facial in three levels. Body treatments use the Pagani Cryo T-Shock machine for non-surgical cold and heat sessions aimed at cellulite, toning, fat reduction and areas such as the chin and neck. Lash services include classic and volume extensions, maintenance fills, lash removal and the Yumi Keratin Lash Lift.

Clients should note the booking rules. Cancellations or reschedules need 48 hours' notice, and short-notice cancellations or missed appointments are forfeited with a cancellation fee. No cash refunds are offered. The studio is open Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 10am to 6pm, Friday from 10am to 2pm, Saturday from 9am to 2pm, and is closed Tuesday and Sunday. Care is offered in English and Spanish.

Treatment plans aim to address acne at its source, support skin barrier health and build clarity over the long term. In-studio treatments are paired with personalized guidance for care at home.

The studio is clean, minimal and elevated, with a calm, focused and professional feel.
