ABOUT DENISE
With nearly 25 years of experience in the aesthetics industry, Denise is a highly accomplished and deeply passionate Advanced Practice Esthetician who brings expertise, warmth, and a results-driven mindset to Refinery Skin Clinic. She began her journey in skincare in 2001, and her credentials speak volumes. She’s not only an Advanced Practice Esthetician but also a Certified Laser Technician and holds an active Salon Manager’s License. Her extensive background, combined with an unwavering dedication to ongoing education, ensures that every client she cares for receives the safest and most effective treatments available today.
Denise’s passion for aesthetics is rooted in her lifelong love of beauty, wellness, and self-care. For her, skincare is more than just treating the surface. It’s about transforming confidence from the inside out. She finds immense fulfillment in helping her clients feel truly comfortable in their own skin and views her role as both a provider and a partner in each individual’s skincare journey. Whether she’s treating acne, sun damage, or aging skin, Denise approaches each appointment with empathy, intention, and precision.
One of her favorite treatments to perform is SkinPen® Microneedling. Denise appreciates how this minimally invasive treatment stimulates the skin’s natural healing process, leading to impressive, natural-looking results with minimal downtime and at an affordable price point. Clients love how radiant and refreshed their skin looks after just a few sessions, and Denise enjoys guiding them through the process with confidence and clarity.
Denise’s work is anchored in three core strengths: empathy, attention to detail, and communication. She recognizes that aesthetics is deeply personal and that each patient brings their own unique goals and concerns. By truly listening, educating, and building trust, she fosters a supportive environment where clients feel seen, understood, and empowered to take charge of their skin health.
Joining the team at Refinery Skin Clinic has been a significant next chapter in Denise’s career. She’s thrilled to be part of a team of seasoned professionals who share her dedication to clinical excellence, continuing education, and compassionate care. She values the clinic’s focus on individualized treatment plans and is proud to work in a space that prioritizes both innovation and a welcoming, relaxing atmosphere.
What inspires Denise most about her profession is the impact it can have on a person’s life—not just physically, but emotionally and mentally. She believes that skincare is a powerful tool for healing, building confidence, and promoting long-term wellness. From educating clients on preventive care to helping them overcome insecurities tied to their skin, Denise is honored to be a trusted guide on their path to self-confidence.
Outside of the treatment room, Denise embraces a balanced lifestyle rooted in health, joy, and connection. She enjoys spending time with her family, staying active through workouts, experimenting with healthy cooking, and exploring new restaurants and cuisines. She also loves traveling, hosting girls’ nights, and prioritizing self-care in her daily life—practices that reflect her personal mantra:
“Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself.” – Coco Chanel
