About Dr. Kerri
A pharmacist with more than 22 years of experience in skincare, skin health and customized topical formulations, practicing from a private studio in downtown San Mateo.
Science, experience and individualized care
Dr. Kerri is a pharmacist with more than 22 years of experience in skincare, skin health and customized topical formulations. Her background in pharmacy has given her a strong foundation in ingredient knowledge, formulation science and the way active ingredients interact with the skin, an expertise she brings to every treatment she performs.
Over the years she has developed a highly personalized, results-driven approach to skincare, combining scientific knowledge with careful observation and hands-on experience. She believes that no two complexions are exactly alike, and every treatment is thoughtfully customized to each client's individual skin condition, concerns and goals.
One of her greatest areas of expertise, and a signature part of her practice, is professional extractions and deep pore cleansing. With extensive experience working with congested, clogged and acne-prone skin, she is known for a meticulous and thorough extraction technique. The goal is not simply to clear the skin, but to do so carefully and strategically while supporting the long-term health and appearance of the complexion.
Treatments may include customized facials, chemical peels, dermaplaning, hydration therapies, advanced exfoliation and other corrective skincare techniques. Every session is designed to address what the skin needs at that particular time rather than following a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Dr. Kerri's philosophy is rooted in the belief that beautiful skin begins with healthy skin. Through a combination of science, experience, precision and individualized care, she strives to help every client achieve clearer, healthier, more balanced and naturally radiant skin.
Alongside skincare, Dr. Kerri offers QHHT — an extended hypnosis method for self-exploration, held in person and kept entirely separate from the skincare practice. Further information is here.

Signature extractions
Professional extractions and deep pore cleansing are central to the practice, performed with a meticulous technique that clears carefully and supports the long-term appearance of the skin.
Customized at every visit
No two complexions are alike. Each session is built around the condition of your skin on the day, not a fixed protocol.
Clearly stated limits
Any concern that belongs with a dermatologist is referred to one. Microneedling, injectables, lasers and IPL are not offered here, by law and by choice.
