About

The Skin RN was founded in 2016 by Francine Ortiz, an RN and master aesthetic injector, and later moved to its current suite just south of Menaul, across from Coronado Center. The practice describes its aim as dramatic results that still look natural, and its menu runs from injectables and fillers to lasers, microneedling, plasma and PRF treatments, and spa services.

Every patient starts with a free, no-obligation consultation. New patients, or anyone unsure which products suit their skin, can add a VISIA skin analysis at no cost. After that visit, each patient receives a custom treatment plan, and the business says it does not upsell. Spa services such as facials and skincare consultations are designed to support and maintain the medical treatments.

Signature offerings include The SaltFacial, a three-step treatment that combines sea salt resurfacing, cavitation ultrasound and LED phototherapy. The business describes itself as the exclusive New Mexico practice offering it. It also offers Virtue RF and Tetra CoolPeel lasers, and says it is the only practice in Albuquerque with both.

Medical-grade skincare lines are sold in clinic during business hours without an appointment, and several can also be ordered online. Financing is available through Cherry, a buy now, pay later company, with 0% APR options for eligible patients.

Takes a holistic route that pairs medical procedures with steady skincare habits and general wellness. Treatment plans are shaped around each patient's skin type, goals and budget, and the practice notes that aesthetic outcomes cannot be guaranteed.

The clinic describes its space as beautiful and clean.
