The art is in the details

To me, a facial should never be just a treatment; it should be an experience.

My philosophy is based on a simple belief: no two skins are alike, and neither are two people, so why should treatments be?

About

Originally from Romania, I began my journey in aesthetics and skincare in Europe before continuing my professional experience in Chicago, where I worked in a spa and gradually developed my own vision for skincare.

I then founded Sesame Skin Studio there, my independent studio dedicated to personalized facial treatments. Over the years, I have enriched my approach through various training courses in skincare, facial massage, drainage, sculpting techniques, and advanced aesthetic technologies.

Today, my work is built on the meeting point of skin expertise and the power of touch. I do not follow rigid protocols: I observe, listen, and tailor each treatment to your skin, its needs at the moment, and to you.

After several years in Chicago, I chose Aix-en-Provence to write a new chapter for Sesame and create a more intimate studio, true to my vision: a demanding yet deeply human approach, where effectiveness, expert movements, and attention to detail come together.

WELCOME TO SESAME.

Advanced Skin Stimulation Treatment

Designed for skin that requires more advanced treatment. Nanoneedling, or bio-microneedling with spicules, is a treatment intended for skin with more advanced concerns: pigmentation spots, post-acne marks and scars, blemishes, or uneven texture.
