meet the founder
Hi, I’m Jessica Pineda!
In addition to being a licensed esthetician for over 20 years, I’m also a hair and makeup artist for professional photo and video shoots, which involves lots of travel and meeting new people almost daily.
As you can imagine, there’s a ton of personal interaction in my line of work, and I realized that many of the conversations I was having centered around medical-grade skin treatments, a subject that I am incredibly passionate about after seeing the positive impact they’ve had on my own skin. I became inspired by my clients and their relatable feelings of intimidation of medical-grade services. The treatments they discussed were often misunderstood (I get it – injectables and lasers can be scary!), and I found myself sharing what I had learned in my years of research and from my own trial-and-error results.
Finally, I decided it was time to create a space dedicated to opening this world to others, A space that not only makes you feel like your best self, but also understands the importance of gentle, consistent treatments with minimal discomfort, little-to-no downtime, and gradual, natural-looking results. A space where the integrity of your skin itself receives the attention and care it deserves.
And so Skin Retreat Medspa was born.
Thank you for being here. We can’t wait to build your skin health plan with you!
the space
We are located in the beautiful Art Museum area of Philadelphia. Steps away from center city but in a more open, park-like setting. If you have the time, feel free to arrive early to visit the Philadelphia Art Museum, utilize the complimentary wifi in the open stunning courtyard area inside of the Barnes Museum or plan to stop at the nearby Whole Foods after your appointment. And if you are tighter on time, parking is typically fairly simple in this area, with the option of a reasonably priced nearby open lot.
