I used to travel to Manhattan for an authentic deep cleansing facial with pore extractions. Now that I have found Katrina, I can get a fantastic treatment right in Albany. She has very delicate fingers and does a thorough extraction process that leaves my skin clear and glowing. I've also had the Mandeli peel and now my skin is brighter and clearer than before. I especially enjoy the facial massage she includes with steam and hot towels. I highly recommend her service.

Omg where do I start ! Since puberty, I struggled with acne and then into my mid twenties I was still struggling with acne. It came to a point where I needed to do something about it instead of using EVERY over the counter product so I made an appointment with Katerina. Let me say it was the best decision I’ve ever made! Katerina is very professional and personable. She really helped me understand my skin and understand why the products I was using weren’t working. She really broke down my dietary issues and the ingredients in my every day products. My skin before seeing her would have painful pimples and a lot I mean a lot of scarring and redness. I did a few sessions of extractions and facials and then went on to chemical peels to help with the scarring. My face today has smaller pores, less redness and has tremendously improved in texture. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Katerina! I can’t thank her enough!!!

Katerina is truly amazing! She really works with you to figure out what is going on with your skin and what works best for you. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and detail oriented. My facials are always very thorough and my skin has improved so much since I started seeing her. We have great conversations and she has great advice both on skin care and life (I swear sometimes I make appointments just to talk to her). Katerina makes you feel comfortable and relaxed even while performing extractions. I would recommend her 100 times over to anyone, whether they have serious skin concerns or just want to feel pampered. Highly, highly recommend!!!

This review is way overdue! After suffering with a terrible cystic breakout for several months I found Skin Forensics and was able to get relief after the first visit! She was so helpful in explaining the cause of my breakout and suggesting the right treatments and ongoing skin care to prevent them from happening again. After months of being embarrassed by the way my skin looked and being in pain I was so relieved to find this gem! Better yet, I don’t have to wear foundation anymore! Seriously, Best esthetician ever!! Thank you for your expert advice and helping me be confident again!

Not to be dramatic, but Katerina is a godsend! I've had bad acne my entire life and have tried working with countless dermatologists and estheticians who could get me close to healthy skin, but never really achieved it. That's until I started going to Katerina! At first I was hesitant because she recommended introducing some practices that have traditionally been in opposition to what I've been told my whole life (like introducing me to cleansing with oil) but I was able to see life-changing results within a couple of her monthly treatments paired with her product recommendations (many of which can be easily purchased on amazon). She's also incredibly kind and understanding and is quick to respond if I have any questions. Highly recommend her services and 100% worth the drive even after she moved her office from Albany.

She was very knowledgeable and didn't try to keep 'selling' you things. She gave me ideas of treatments to use at home that I could make myself, or purchase inexpensively.

​I first came to Katerina with a lot of blemishes under my skin. The small ones that you can’t get out on your own. Not only did she take care of it for me but she provided me with knowledge about my skin so that it wouldn’t happen again. She is so sweet and provides an amazing comfortable experience. Whenever I have a question or an issue she is quick and responsive. I don’t see myself going anywhere else for my skin care needs. She is the best!! Since going to her my skin has cleared up tremendously I don’t have those small bumps anymore and my breakouts have been controlled. I highly recommend going to her!

I have been in the Beauty industry for 30 yrs. Katerina was one of the best facials I have had with a Chemical peel. My skin feels amazing. I would highly recommend her. I live an hour away and will be back.
