Known to many for her 5 Star Brazilian... With a technical background and experience of 11+ years, Denise found her passion for the science behind skin care from the time she was a pre-teen to her journey of motherhood teaching her three daughters about proper skin care regimens. As she studied skin and its science, there was a peaking moment when she had to apply her knowledge and techniques when two of her three daughters developed severe acne. After trying with multiple dermatologists, she realized that while their methods worked for some, they do not work for everyone. Birthing Adiktiv Aesthetics, Denise wanted to focus on efficacy, developing a solid and consistent at-home skincare regimen for each client combined with clinical treatments working specifically on melanated skin. Since opening Adiktiv, Denise has curated a safe, relaxing and knowledge based atmosphere where clients feel like they are receiving luxury skin care services in the comfort of their best friend’s home.
