Services
Microcurrent is the most widely recognized facial treatment to significantly reduce the signs of ageing. This microcurrent facial treatment uses face-lifting massage techniques that are boosted by infusing powerful ingredients deep into the layers of the skin. Along with a refreshed appearance and notable results, the microcurrent treatment is very relaxing.
Focused on maintaining beautiful healthy skin, this facial treatment starts with thorough cleansing and an enzyme exfoliation. Extractions are performed. After extractions a light chemical peel is applied to the face for improved clarity, brighter skin, and to ensure removal of all excess dead skin cells.
By combining the use of clinical-grade home care products and in-office treatments, I will be able to clear your skin in about 3-4 months. Assess your acne type, perform sensitivity tests and design a home care product regimen specifically for you. Purchase the products for your home care system which you will use until your next Appointment.
Clear Skin Program clients have access to my secure online shop where they will buy their customized homcare products. Clients will receive login information at the end of their Initial Acne Appointment. All filled Local Pick Up orders are placed on the table outside the office door during appointments and after-hours.
To provide a personal experience, focused on each clients skincare needs, services are by appointment only. Clients are welcome to arrive 5-10 mins before their scheduled appointment time. However in the event that you are early and the door is closed, I am with another client. And I will be on time for your appointment.

Carol is phenomenal. Go see her. Now. She takes her time with each client and gives her undivided care and attention. She got my crazy, cystic, painful, connect the dots status acne totally under control in a few months. Also she took my jacked up National Geographic status eyebrows from "omg dont make eye contact" to "hubbahubba" and I will never stop going to her. Thank you, Carol!!!

Carol is so amazing! A friend recommended Carol to me when my 30 year old skin started breaking out and the few skin care regimens I tried didn't work. Carol sat me down and provided me with all kinds of skin care information. Using the info she provided me, I changed my shampoo, conditioner, body wash, some makeup, and started using her skin care products and within months of that new routine and a few facials, my skin was completely different. Nothing was expensive, might I add. Carol's facials are affordable, her products are affordable, and most importantly, her expertise, knowledge

I have been going to Carol now for year and I must say choosing to follow her instructions and products have cleared my skin completely. I never thought I could have so smooth and radiant skin.
In the beginning I was a little nervous because of the new restrictions on the make up products etc. but when the results started showing (faster than I had expected) I have not regretted it once!
Recently I started also growing my eyebrows to make them thicker (they used to be very narrow and blonde). Carol has done a great job reshaping and by slowly tinting them to give them a more natural and fuller

I LOVE CAROL. I made my first appt with Carol about 5 years ago, and now, I get super excited to go see her. I originally went for skin care help (i could never quite get a blemish free face), and I ended up with so much more! Her knowledge has changed my skin, along with her facials, and the cosmedix line she carries. But she is a dream with wax as well. I love her sugaring!! She is the ONLY person I trust with my eyebrows, and no joke (I am a L&D nurse) I had a pt stop mid-pushing and tell me how amazing my eyebrows were!!! Carol also graces my life with her kindness and amazing humor.

Carol is simply the best at what she does. I've been seeing her for facials and eyebrows for a few years and wouldn't go to anyone else. She's a bit of a perfectionist which I appreciate. She's also knows her stuff and sells great products. My skin has definitely improved thanks to Carol. Her prices are totally fair.

Carol is a sensitive, attentive and terrific esthetician.... she listens to what your real skin issues are, suggests appropriate products that really give results, and is also conscientious when I'm working on a budget - she has helped me design a skin care regime that I can justify expense-wise while seeing an improved difference in my skin!
Waxing is never a "fun" part of grooming, but Carol makes it quick, easy and as painless as possible, without feeling rushed. I live in Santa Cruz, yet I always make a trip to the city for waxing from Carol as it is so, so worth it. She

This salon is a gem in the Fillmore! I've been coming here since it's opened!!!
FACIALS - not only are they relaxing - but it's all about how your skin is feeling and how to take care of it! As we all know we all d'frent skin types. Carol takes the time to really listen and examine what's going.
WAXING - painless and VERY, VERY comfortable environment.
This place is a must try - warm customer service and very knowledgeable esthetician!
I always leave feeling pretty!

Esthetician Carol Ruggieri's cozy little office on the second floor of her location on Fillmore near Pine is a great alternative for those who have had less than satisfactory skin care experiences at spas. She prefers working independently so that she can provide superior quality care for her clients without the pressure of a spa environment--and it shows.
Since she's not a spa, she can take the time to do a thorough inquiry before your treatment and can customize each treatment individually. She's been practicing ten years now, and carries Yon Ka, which is carried by only the

A lovely little shop tucked away in Pac Heights - it's a great experience for people wanting more from their facials & beauty work. The owner provides detailed and thorough work for each of her customers - I didn't feel rushed or like I was getting the same treatment as everyone else - it was totally customized to my skin type!!!
She really takes the time to discuss what your skin needs and makes the best decisions regarding the outcome. She was honest about what to expect.
I've been several times and my skin looks amazing every time.
