Her story

It started with her own skin.

Early adulthood
Cystic acne
Katrina struggled with cystic acne in her early adulthood, and it took a real toll on her confidence.
Age 19
A first appointment that changed things
Her first aesthetic appointment, at a plastic surgeon’s office, is where she discovered what skin treatments could really do.
The why
Helping others feel confident
Having grown up with insecurities that held her back, and seeing what acne did to her own mental health, she knew she wanted to help people overcome theirs.
Today
ABK SKIN
She built ABK SKIN as a welcoming space where clients feel cared for and empowered, with a true passion for skin behind every appointment.

Acneand scarring specialist

Katrina created ABK SKIN as a boutique, one-on-one studio where clients are never treated like a number in the door. You get her full attention from the moment you arrive, including a detailed skin analysis and a customized treatment plan built around your skin goals. With the help of her medical director, she pairs medical-grade facials with medical-grade skincare to transform skin.

She specializes in acne, scarring, pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, damaged skin barriers and long-term skin health, with a focus on preventive skincare science. Some of her most loved services are the Salmon Sperm Facial, custom Platinum HydraFacials, and full-body lymphatic drainage.

Her passion is personal. Katrina struggled with cystic acne in her early adulthood, and it took a real toll on her confidence. At 19, her first aesthetic appointment at a plastic surgeon’s office showed her what skin treatments could really do, and she knew she wanted to help others overcome their own insecurities someday.

Her goal: to keep you with her for a lifetime, so you never need aggressive resurfacing treatments.

McKensi

12 yearsin aesthetics
Honorsgraduate of the Paul Mitchell School
Favoritetreatment: microneedling

With 12 years of experience in aesthetics, McKensi is a Master Medical Aesthetician who is passionate about helping people feel confident and comfortable in their skin. She graduated with honors from the Paul Mitchell School and has built her career around combining advanced treatments with personalized skincare.

Microneedling is her favorite treatment, especially for its ability to support collagen production and overall skin rejuvenation. She is also a self-proclaimed retinol enthusiast and a huge HydraFacial fan, because great skin is all about consistency, the right treatments and a little bit of skincare obsession.

Outside of aesthetics, McKensi is a dog mom to a Black Lab and a Doberman and loves spending time with her boyfriend, Jordan. She is always learning, always talking about skincare, and genuinely loves getting to know the people she has the privilege of treating.

Her goal is simple: to create an experience where every client feels heard, cared for and excited about their skin.
