Who We Are



Seattle Beauty is a medspa in West Seattle built on a simple idea: you should understand what's being done to your face before anyone does it.
We're a small team of medical and aesthetic professionals who'd rather explain than upsell. Whether you're here for a facial, a little Botox, or a blood draw you've been putting off, you'll get honest guidance, careful hands, and a plan that makes sense for you. That plan might not include everything on the menu, and that's fine.
Meet the Team
Dr. Des, DNP, Founder & Medical Director
Dr. Des founded Seattle Beauty nearly a decade ago. It began as a mobile practice just before COVID, built around caring for her grandmother in memory care. She spent nearly two decades as an ICU nurse at UW Medicine and the Seattle VA. Today she leads our injectable and aesthetic medicine work and trains injectors across the greater Seattle area. Her specialties are neurotoxin, hyperdilute Radiesse, PRP, and holistic, science-based wellness. Still devoted to her nursing roots, she gives back as a preceptor for UW's DNP program. Her philosophy is natural results, conservative dosing, and never letting you leave looking like someone else.
Caroline Abraham, Licensed Master Aesthetician
Caroline is a true skin expert, and she'll only recommend what will genuinely help your skin. Her four years of experience span lasers, facials, lashes, brows, PRX, microneedling, and Morpheus8. She specializes in acne and collagen-stimulating treatments, and she led the expansion of Seattle Beauty's aesthetic services. Expect a clear explanation of exactly how each recommendation targets your concerns, and an experience that deeply supports the whole you.
Leila, Master Aesthetician, Phlebotomist & CNA
Leila wears many hats at Seattle Beauty. She handles skin services and our social media, and she's often at the front desk coordinating patient care. She specializes in pigment, collagen-stimulating treatments, and blood draws. Whether it's facials, brows, lasers, or building a treatment plan that fits your real-life routine, she'll help you find the right path. She also runs our weekend in-studio blood draws, so you can get labs done without the waiting room. She'll help you understand why your skin is doing what it's doing, and she'll make every visit feel like catching up with an old friend.
Jenilyn Lo, ARNP, CRNA
Jenilyn has worked alongside Dr. Des for nearly two decades, first in UW ICUs and now as fellow medspa owners. She owns our sister practice, Sitka Beauty in Sitka, Alaska, and still provides anesthesia services in hospitals. Together, she and Dr. Des train up-and-coming Seattle-area injectors in advanced techniques. Her specialties are hyperdilute Radiesse, neurotoxin, IV therapy, and medically managed weight loss. She brings a seasoned clinician's eye and a calm, thorough approach to every consultation.
Sam DeMaria, RN, Aesthetic Nurse Injector
Sam has spent more than seven years as a trauma ICU nurse and has been injecting for five. She excels at all things injectables and PRX, with a gift for lip filler and strategic Botox placement. Around here, she's known as the lip filler queen. Her favorite treatments are hyperdilute Radiesse and PRX Plus. Sam is fluent in Spanish!





What Makes Us Different?

-
Medical oversight, spa comfort. Treatments are guided by licensed medical providers in a space that doesn't feel like a clinic.
-
Education over pressure. We tell you what will help, what won't, and what can wait.
-
Natural-looking results. Subtle is the goal. Your friends should notice you look rested, not that you "had something done."
-
Skin, injectables, and wellness under one roof. Facials, aesthetic injectables, advanced treatments like Morpheus8, and weekend lab draws.
-
A team that remembers you. Small by design, so you see the same faces and your plan builds over time.

Exceptional team, they are so thoughtful in their approach, always listen carefully to what I’m looking for, and have taken such great care of my skin and appearance. Highly recommend!
Roni V.
Highly knowledgeable and kind team. They were able to make a forehead scar I’ve had since childhood nearly disappear!
Karina D.
Decided on this spot for microneedling as it includes both face and neck (vs other places that charge extra for neck) and love my results! The whole team is so kind and welcoming!

Dr. Des and the team at Seattle Beauty Aesthetics truly set the standard for excellence in medical aesthetics. From the moment you walk in, their warmth and professionalism make you feel completely at ease, and it’s clear you’re in expert hands.
