My Specialties

What I do
exceptionally well.

I offer services through Laser Spa Studio in Long Beach, NY — but these are the areas where my expertise runs deepest.

Lift & Sculpt
Facial Massage

Not just for lifting. For everyone.

✦ Only Available with Carissa at Laser Spa Studio

The Full Benefits

Lift & Sculpt isn't just for deep lines or significant laxity. Because this treatment works on far more than the surface of the skin — every single client walks away looking and feeling different.

✦

Nervous System Reset

Deep relaxation shifts the body into rest, repair, and regeneration mode. You'll feel it.

✦

Brighter, Healthier Skin

Better circulation delivers oxygen and nutrients directly to the skin — more glow, the kind of radiance no highlighter can fake.

✦

Reduced Puffiness

Lymphatic stimulation moves stagnant fluid — your face looks lighter, clearer, more defined.

✦

Lifted & Relaxed

When tension in the scalp, jaw, neck, and shoulders finally releases — the face naturally appears more open and lifted.

Certified Acne Specialist

Certified Acne Specialist with deep experience treating acne of all types and severities. Whether you're dealing with hormonal acne, cystic breakouts, post-acne hyperpigmentation, or congestion — I build a protocol for your skin specifically, not a one-size formula. Clear skin is absolutely possible.

Master Holistic Skin Specialist

Skin doesn't exist in isolation. Stress, hormones, gut health, sleep, diet, and environment all show up on your face — and part of what I do is help you connect those dots. Using face mapping, I can identify which internal systems may be contributing to specific skin concerns, and I'll ask you the right questions to help you understand what lifestyle factors might be worth exploring. I don't diagnose — but I do help you see the full picture, so you can have more informed conversations with the right professionals and make changes that actually support your skin from the inside out.

My Approach

Skin health, from the inside out.

Carissa Lopez-Barbaro, Licensed Esthetician

I ask questions most estheticians don't — about your lifestyle, stress, hormones, sleep, and daily routine — because healthy skin rarely starts at the surface. But the treatment itself is also part of the magic. Deep relaxation lowers cortisol, supports your nervous system, and gives your skin the conditions it needs to heal and glow. For many of my clients, that hour on the table is one of the few moments in their week that belongs entirely to them. I'm here to make that moment count — and make it show. Zero judgment, every time.

01

Skin & Lifestyle Check-In

We start with a real conversation — your skin, your life, what's changed. No assumptions.

02

Customized Treatment

Your facial is built in real time, chosen specifically for your skin on that day.

03

Education & Homecare

You leave knowing exactly what to use at home and why — because what happens between sessions matters.

"I'm not here to chase youth or turn back the clock. I'm here to help your skin function at its best, and to help you feel at home in it, at every age."
— Carissa
