One Year In: Elevating Skin Health with Innovation, Confidence, and Community

By Katherine Himmelman, MSN, APRN, FNP-C

Founder of Face Lab Aesthetics

March marks a special milestone for me and for Face Lab Aesthetics—one full year of serving our community and helping clients feel confident, refreshed, and empowered in their skin. What began as a vision to create a results-driven, patient-centered MedSpa has grown into a space rooted in trust, education, and intentional care. As we celebrate our one-year anniversary, I’m also excited to introduce the latest advancement in skin rejuvenation now available at Face Lab Aesthetics: CO₂ laser resurfacing—a treatment that represents the future of transformative, long-term skin health.

Why Skin Health Is More Than a Trend

In aesthetics, trends come and go—but healthy skin is always in style. True skin rejuvenation isn’t about chasing perfection or looking “done.” It’s about supporting your skin at a cellular level, so it functions better, ages more slowly, and reflects how vibrant you feel on the inside. Over the past year, I’ve noticed a shift in what clients really want: Natural-looking results Treatments backed by science Long-term improvement, not quick fixes. This is exactly why advanced technologies like CO₂ laser resurfacing are becoming so popular.

What Is CO₂ Laser Resurfacing?

CO₂ laser resurfacing is considered the gold standard for skin renewal. It works by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production, and accelerating cellular turnover. The result? Smoother texture, improved tone, and visibly healthier skin. This treatment is especially effective for: Fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage and age spots, acne scars, and uneven texture. Enlarged pores, overall skin laxity, and dullness. What makes today’s CO₂ technology so exciting is that it delivers dramatic results with more precision and customizable downtime, allowing treatments to be tailored to each patient’s goals and lifestyle. Why I Chose to Bring CO₂ Laser to Face Lab Aesthetics. As a nurse practitioner and business owner, I’m intentional about every service I offer. I don’t add treatments because they’re trendy—I add them because they work.I chose CO₂ laser technology because it bridges the gap between medical-grade results and aesthetic artistry. It allows me to treat skin comprehensively while maintaining the natural look my clients value. It’s an investment not just in appearance, but in skin longevity.

A Year of Gratitude and Growth

Opening Face Lab Aesthetics was one of the most meaningful decisions of my career. Running a solo, woman-owned practice has allowed me to form genuine relationships with my clients and create a space where education and comfort come first. This anniversary isn’t just about celebrating a business milestone—it’s about celebrating the incredible community of women (and men) who have trusted me with their care over the past year.
