Esthetician & Corrective Skincare Specialist
Marissa

Marissa joins St. Johns Aesthetics with more than seven years of experience in aesthetics and a true passion for helping clients achieve healthier, more confident skin. She has developed particular expertise in corrective skincare, including acne, pigmentation, uneven skin tone, texture, and overall skin health, and enjoys creating personalized treatment and home-care plans based on each client’s individual needs and goals.

A ZO® Skin Health Certified Expert, Marissa has completed extensive advanced training with ZO Skin Health, including the opportunity to learn directly from Dr. Zein Obagi. She earned her Expert-level certification in 2022 and continues to advance her knowledge of professional skincare, treatment protocols, and emerging techniques. She also earned her Hydrafacial HFX certification in 2022 and is highly skilled in customized Hydrafacial treatments and combination approaches designed to maximize results.

Marissa’s philosophy fits naturally with ours at St. Johns Aesthetics: great skin is not about a one-size-fits-all treatment, but about understanding the skin, identifying the underlying concerns, and developing a thoughtful long-term plan. She loves educating her clients along the way and helping them achieve visible, sustainable improvements in their skin.

Outside of the practice, Marissa enjoys soaking up the beautiful Florida weather, traveling with her husband, Johnny, and spending time with their two dogs.
