Allison is passionate about aiding clients in their acne healing journey and being able to walk alongside a client during the ups and downs of active acne. Her favorite service to offer is Micro-needling when treating her clients! Whether it's for buffing out fine lines & wrinkles or helping her acne clients with acne scarring.
