Confidence looks good on you

Meet Marissa

A licensed aesthetician at Willow Park Rejuvenation in Bentonville — the corrective-skincare, modality and ingredient girl. Give me a skin concern and I want to figure out the why, which ingredients make sense, and what will actually get results.

In her own words

I love seeing beautiful results, but seeing someone become more confident in their own skin is what makes this so meaningful to me. I take skin seriously, but I don't take myself too seriously — I want you to feel like you can relax, laugh, ask questions, and be completely honest with me.

I'm a big believer in the long game. I'll explain what I'm seeing and why, and what I need from you at home to help us get there. I won't recommend something just because you ask for it; if it won't benefit you, I'll say so and we'll find a better plan.

Specialties

Corrective skincare, treatment modalities, and ingredients — building long-term plans that combine the right professional treatments with home care. And in a completely different lane: body waxing, including Brazilians (it's what classmates specifically came to me for).
