Jody Leon: Now Accepting New Clients

 
 

🌟 **Now Accepting New Clients for a Limited Time!** 🌟

 Hi everyone! I'm Jody Leon, the owner and founder of DERMASPACE. I'm excited to announce that I’m opening my schedule to new clients for a limited time. Whether you’re looking for advanced skincare treatments or our signature Iderm facial, I'm here to help you achieve your skin goals.

I've been a licensed esthetician for over three decades, holding licenses in both California and Washington State. My journey began in West Hollywood at the renowned Face Place, where I was trained and certified on the Iderm Treatment. During my time there, I had the privilege of working with many wonderful clients, which helped shape my approach to skincare.

After a few years in Los Angeles, I moved to the beautiful Pacific Northwest and opened DERMASPACE in 2009. Since then, I’ve been fortunate to have my work recognized by local and national publications, including features in W Magazine, Seattle Magazine, Wedding Wire, and appearances on Evening Magazine. It was a great honor to be voted best facial in Western Washington by Evening Magazine and listed as the best facial in the PNW by Goop, amongst others.

Located in downtown Seattle's Medical Dental Building, I strive to bring humor, understanding, and compassion to every treatment. I truly enjoy helping my clients achieve healthy, radiant skin, and I look forward to serving you.

If you’re a current client of mine, I’d be grateful if you could share your positive experiences with friends and family. Your referrals mean a lot to me. It would be an honor to provide them with the same level of care and treatment that you have so generously entrusted to me.

Additionally, if you have been to us previously and saw Cora, Chanté, Christopher or one of our other estheticians who have left, and you’ve been interested in seeing me but couldn’t due to my scheduling constraints, I’d be excited to have the opportunity to work with you.

🌿 **Book your appointment now and experience personalized skincare!** 🌿

***Please note that I no longer offer Dermaplaning, Oxygen Infusion Facial or Back Treatments.

Today we take a look at the owner and founder of DERMASPACE.

Name: Jody Leon

Position: Esthetician & Owner/Founder of DERMASPACE

Where are you from originally?

Born in Los Angeles, raised in SoCal till age 16 then Visalia, CA.

What inspired you to become an esthetician?

I wanted to pursue a career in theater. I used to dance, sing etc but after my first choice of college fell through, I volunteered for a regional reparatory theater company and was placed in the hair and makeup department and it just stuck. I found my calling. I’ve been working in this field since 1991. Life takes you in directions you may not have planned but ultimately find yourself so grateful.

Share an interesting or unique fact about yourself.

I’m a pretty good quilter & photographer. I’m always pursuing new artistic endeavors. Recently it’s been learning to DJ and I started taking piano lessons.  I like my hobbies.

How long have you been a part of the Dermaspace team?

Well….that’s easy…..15 years and counting. I opened the doors on August 9th, 2009.

What do you love most about working at Dermaspace?

Helping others achieve their skincare goals and being a small part helping people feel better about themselves.

Any memorable moments or experiences you’ve had here?

So so many. I have clients who have been coming to me every 2-4 weeks for nearly 15 years so I’ve been there for births, graduations, helping brides get ready for their big day….you name it. Some of my clients are like an extension of my family and have become dear friends. Also helping younger estheticians deepen their passion for skincare…that’s been pretty awesome.

What is your favorite service and why?

Honestly, I am a purist and love our signature Iderm Facial. It’s truly changed the lives of so many of my clients and all the add on services like microdermabrasion or Revitapen etc are just icing on the cake. I also love Collagen Induction Therapy (ProCell Microchanneling and Microneedling).

What’s your personal philosophy when it comes to skincare and beauty?

I founded DERMASPACE on the Buddhist principles of Mettā or Maitrī which means cultivating unconditional loving-kindness, friendliness, amity, goodwill, and active interest in yourself. We understand how hard it can be to deal with skin issues that can affect one’s own self-esteem and well being and believe that self-care and unconditional kindness to oneself is an essential first step in cultivating compassion for others. 

It all starts with you.
We’re here to help

What are your favorite Dermaspace skincare retail we carry and why?

Calming Repair Cream because I have such dry and sensitive skin and this is my #1 go to for others suffering from the same thing. I also love our Dual Action Clarifying Pads….a perfect blend of AHA/BHA and gentle enough to use daily.

Share a valuable skincare tip that you think everyone should know.

What works for your friend or someone on social media does not mean it will work for you. Also – don’t just give up on product or service after trying it only once or for a week…..it takes time. Be patient and trust the process.

What do you enjoy most about interacting with clients?

Being part of a team that works together to help them with their goals – I can’t help them if they don’t “show up” so it’s a true partnership.

Can you share a memorable client success story?

So many – but the clients who struggled with severe inflammation/acne who tried everything but finally found a solution at DERMASPACE.

How do you ensure each client has a personalized and enjoyable experience at Dermaspace?

By listening to their needs and educating them as much as possible.

What are your hobbies or interests outside of work?

Piano, dj’ing, sewing, learning new things constantly. I am also a film and tv junky.

Do you have a favorite relaxation or self-care ritual?

See above.

Any favorite skincare ingredients or treatments you can’t live without?

Love regular chemical peels!

What advice would you give to someone looking to improve their skincare routine?

Be gentle with yourself, be kind and use kind language toward yourself.

🌟DERMASPACE SPOTLIGHT:🌟 KACEE MOUA🌟

 
 

In our Employee Spotlight series, we're thrilled to introduce you to the remarkable individuals who form the heart and soul of Dermaspace. These dedicated team members bring their unique talents and passion for skincare and beauty to our clients every day. Get to know their backgrounds, philosophies, and some interesting insights that make them integral to our mission of enhancing your beauty and wellness experience. Join us as we shine a light on the faces behind the transformation, radiance, and confidence we bring to you.

NAME: Kacee Moua

Position: Licensed Master Esthetician

Where are you from originally?

Been in Washington my whole life.

What inspired you to become an esthetician?

My passion for beauty started at a very young age. I discovered my love for makeup while in middle school which led me to become a makeup artist during my late teens all the way through my mid 20’s. During that time, I met many knowledgeable estheticians in the makeup industry and soon began to deep dive into skincare. My love for skin grew deeper which led me to pursue becoming an esthetician.

How long have you been a part of the Dermaspace team?

Since the beginning of 2024

What do you love most about working at Dermaspace?

The team at Dermaspace is amazing! I don’t want to brag, but we’ve definitely got the dream team and such a supportive boss. Dermaspace just feels like a safe space for its employees and clientele!

Any memorable moments or experiences you’ve had here?

Honestly every day is a great day at Dermaspace! I love what I do and enjoy my time spent with clients and the team.

What is your favorite service and why?

Procell is where its at! ProCell is great for most skin types as long as there are no contraindications. This treatment promotes collagen and elastin production, firmer skin, minimizes fine lines/wrinkles, improves hyperpigmentation, and so much more.

What’s your personal philosophy when it comes to skincare and beauty?

Less is more! Not everyone requires a 10 step routine as long as you’ve got the right products for your skin.

What are your favorite Dermaspace skincare retail we carry and why?

Purifying cleanser because it contains yucca! Our Iderm facial incorporates Yucca during the first wrap prior to extractions. This cleanser is great for dissolving oils, deep cleanses pores without drying the skin, and is paraben free.

Share a valuable skincare tip that you think everyone should know.

You don’t have to wash your face in the morning if you cleanse your face in the evening. Try rinsing your face with water or apply your favorite toner onto a cotton round and wipe. Unless you’re a sweaty sleeper or feeling really oily then I would recommend using a cleanser in the morning.

What do you enjoy most about interacting with clients?

Getting to be a part of the client’s skin journey and see all the positive progress. 

Can you share a memorable client success story?

I once had a younger client who was in their late teens that had been struggling with hormonal acne. They were very shy and reserved for the first couple of treatments, but as their skin started to clear they began to glow from inside out. After alternating between chemical peels and microneedling for many months, we were able to clear their skin. Not only did the client reach their skin goals, but they felt amazing.

How do you ensure each client has a personalized and enjoyable experience at Dermaspace?

I love asking questions! Getting to know my clients and their skin goal is my number one priority. We can chit chat about any challenges that you may be facing or even talk about product recommendations depending on their needs. Understanding what my client requires from me ensures that their time spent with us is productive in reaching their goals.

What are your hobbies or interests outside of work?

I enjoy spending my free time crocheting, using my Cricut to make something fun, or snuggled up in bed watching anime. I’m very much so a homebody.

Do you have a favorite relaxation or self-care ritual?

My favorite way to relax is to change into one of my oversized comfy clothes and put on a good show while crocheting.

Any favorite skincare ingredients or treatments you can’t live without?

My favorite skincare ingredient is Glycolic. Being an acne prone girlie, I have to regularly incorporate some sort of exfoliation in my skin regime to control my breakouts.

A book or movie that has had a significant impact on you.

The Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer

 

What advice would you give to someone looking to improve their skincare routine?

Slowly introduce products into your skincare routine to see if it’s appropriate for your skin type. Start with one product and use it for at least one month to see if there are any reactions, and then introduce another new product within the following month if your skin has tolerated the previous product. For those who are super sensitive, try spot testing behind your ear prior to full use to see if there are any sensitivities or reactions that develop within the next 24 to 48 hours.

Any self-confidence tips you’d like to share with our clients?

Your skin doesn’t define who you are and your beauty lies within. We are our own biggest critics and majority of the time only we notice that break out or concern with our skin. Don’t let that stop you from going out and living your life!

What is a brief personal message to our current and potential clients to share what they can expect when they book an appointment with you.

Let’s get down to the nitty gritty things of skincare.

Share one fun or surprising fact that clients might not know about you.

I’m a big anime nerd.

Explore the Revolutionary Activating Liposome Complex: A New Era in Skin Correction

 
 

Unlock the secret to transformative skin health with our newly enhanced Activating Liposome Complex. Designed to tackle a broad spectrum of skin concerns, this groundbreaking formula delivers noticeable improvements from the first 24 hours up to several weeks of application.

At the heart of the Activating Liposome Complex lies the power of 1,3/1,6 Beta Glucans—a patented polysaccharide extracted from the cell walls of Baker’s yeast. Esteemed for its efficacy, 1,3/1,6 Beta Glucans has been the subject of over 1600 studies at leading research institutions, including Harvard Medical School and MD Anderson, among others. Celebrated as a Biological Response Modifier, this ingredient enhances the skin's innate capacity for self-repair.

Upon application, 1,3/1,6 Beta Glucans actively engages with the skin to address a variety of concerns, ranging from acne breakouts and dullness due to lifestyle factors, to damage caused by UVA exposure, aging signs, and even post-procedure recovery. It significantly improves the resilience of sensitive or compromised skin, reducing redness and signs of irritation within days to two weeks.

But that’s not all. The formula is supercharged with two potent cell energizers: Ergothioneine and Dermal Respiratory Factors (DRF). These components work synergistically to expedite the skin's recovery process, bolster antioxidant defense, and promote a balanced, healthy complexion. Ergothioneine, in particular, shields the skin from harmful environmental aggressors, offering a layer of protection against oxidative stress.

To further enhance the skin's hydration and protection, the Activating Liposome Complex employs a triple hydration strategy, ensuring deep, lasting moisture and safeguarding against future dehydration. This includes:

- TripleHAs: A blend of micro, low, and high molecular weight hyaluronic acids that hydrate every layer of the skin, stimulate cellular repair, and encourage natural hyaluronic acid production.

- Silver Ear Mushroom (Tremella Fuciformis): A cherished ingredient in traditional Chinese beauty, known for providing exceptional hydration—surpassing even Hyaluronic Acid—while boosting immunity and skin resilience.

- Trehalose: A remarkable antioxidant sugar from desert plants, offering unparalleled hydration and protection for cells even under the most extreme conditions.

It’s important to note that while the Activating Liposome Complex is adept at correcting visible skin imperfections, it is not designed to cure skin diseases or replace medical treatments.

Crafted without fragrances, colorants, or parabens, and fully vegan, this complex is a testament to our commitment to pure, effective skin care. Challenge your skin to empower itself, addressing multiple concerns with one revolutionary solution.

 NAME: OLIVIA CLARK

POSITION: MASTER ESTHETICIAN

 

Where are you from originally?

Temecula, California

What inspired you to become an esthetician?

Well to start I was adopted and growing up the way I learned about skin & hair was trial and error. I always wished I could reach out to someone who could educate me on how to care for and maintain my skin. My inspiration is being the support my clients need when trying new treatments and offering advice on products.

How long have you been a part of the Dermaspace team?

Just less than a year, excited for many more!

What do you love most about working at Dermaspace?

My team, we all carry the same passion for result driven treatments and have a great time doing it.

Any memorable moments or experiences you’ve had here?

Training was a blast, meeting lots of long-term clients gave me more insight on how amazing and effective the Iderm Treatment really is.

What is your favorite service and why?

I love the Iderm Facial + Microdermabrasion add-on because it leaves textured and dull skin feeling & looking refreshed, plump and brighter after just one session.

What’s your personal philosophy when it comes to skincare and beauty?

I believe that healthy skin is perfect skin. Anyone can achieve healthy, happy skin. It's all about finding what works for you.

What are your favorite Dermaspace skincare retail we carry and why?

My favorite product for skin needing a little extra tlc would be the Activating Liposome Complex. It embraces your skin with calming and healing properties…. definitely a super serum for the client with sensitized skin.

Share a valuable skincare tip that you think everyone should know.

Washing your pillowcases, sanitizing your phone and limiting friction on the face is a recipe for happier skin.

What do you enjoy most about interacting with clients?

I love that with each session I get to unlock more about my clients and their needs, from new treatments to home care. I'm happy to support any way I can.

Can you share a memorable client success story?

I had a client come in with some new and mysterious breakouts along the hairline and neck, after a few treatments and many questions we determined this was actually a reaction to a hair dye they use. We eliminated that from their routine and got them on some fantastic healing and calming products and now we meet once a month to maintain their skins health.

How do you ensure each client has a personalized and enjoyable experience at Dermaspace?

I start by asking my clients what the inspiration behind their session is. Anti-aging? Hyperpigmentation? A well-deserved self-care day? Special event coming up? From there I like to chat for a minute or two about what you’d like to see in your skin and what I think we need to work on as well.

What are your hobbies or interests outside of work?

I’m a big foodie! I love exploring Seattle and finding new bites to try.

Do you have a favorite relaxation or self-care ritual?

Absolutely, I start by gathering all my desired lotions and potions together in the bathroom and jamming out to whatever my music obsession of the week is. From there it looks like a bit of witchcraft but the results leave me looking like a glazed donut and ready for bed!

Any favorite skincare ingredients or treatments you can’t live without?

I think I couldn’t live without niacinamide, ceramides and hyaluronic acid. I can't pick between the three. I feel like my skin NEEDS them all.

Quickfire Round!

Coffee or tea?

Iced Coffee Year Round

Beach vacation or mountain getaway?

Beach vacation any day!

Morning person or night owl?

Morning person but I’m a sucker for a beautiful sunset! 

Favorite band or singer right now?

Tems ( best song would be Free Mind)

A book or movie that has had a significant impact on you.

“The Voice of Knowledge” by Don Miguel Ruiz. It's a beautiful read that helped me expand my mind and have more compassion for myself.

What advice would you give to someone looking to improve their skincare routine?

I would say that patience and consistency is key. You’ve got this and don't fall for the newest TikTok trend!

Any self-confidence tips you’d like to share with our clients?

That magnifying mirror with 100 bright lights is not how people see you or your skin. Texture, lines. and redness is normal, and it can be managed, minimized and healthy skin maintained.

What is a brief personal message to our current and potential clients to share what they can expect when they book an appointment with you.

Hello returning and new clients! So happy to have you here, I’m excited to get to work with you and your skin. When booking with me you can expect to have a safe place to express your concerns and wants. You will receive commitment and compassion every session with me.

Share one fun or surprising fact that clients might not know about you.

The summer of 2018 I spent my time backpacking over 250 miles in our beautiful national parks!
