I don’t believe in random facials. I believe in reading the skin, correcting what’s actually happening underneath, and building results that look natural, healthy, and expensive.

The Brand Promise
Anti-aging — without looking fake.
Lifted, lit, hydrated, clear. Naturally younger skin that still looks like you. We don't do frozen, overfilled, or overdone — we do clinical, customized, and honest.
What's Included
A $250 facial. For $49.
Every new-client facial is fully customized after a 1:1 skin consultation. No upsells, no template — 45 minutes engineered around your skin.
1:1 Skin Diagnosis
High-resolution skin imaging and a barrier-health assessment so we treat the actual issue — not the symptom.
Double Cleanse + Steam
A medical-grade enzyme cleanse paired with warm vapor to lift congestion without stripping your barrier.
Custom Exfoliation
Your blend of AHA, BHA, or enzymatic exfoliants — calibrated to your skin's tolerance, never generic.
Gentle Extractions
Pore-clearing extractions performed with surgical precision. No bruising, no aggressive squeezing.
LED Light Therapy
Clinical-strength LED to calm inflammation, kill acne bacteria, and stimulate collagen renewal.
Lymphatic Facial Massage
Sculpting drainage massage — depuffs, lifts, and contours. Naturally younger, never frozen.
Custom Mask + Serums
Professional-grade actives chosen on the spot for your skin's needs that day. Hydration, brightening, or clarifying.
Personalized Roadmap
You leave with a written at-home routine — and a clear plan if you ever want to join the Kennedy Skincare Program.
How It Works
Four steps to skin you trust again.
Most facials in Newport Beach are templated. Ours starts with you — and ends with a plan.

The Kennedy Method
Meet Kelsey — the woman behind the results.
Kelsey founded Kennedy Skincare after years of struggling with her own persistent skin issues and realizing how little true customization existed in the treatment room. Her approach is corrective, calm, and completely personal. No two skins are treated the same because no two skins are struggling for the same reason.
"The skin tells a story. My job is to treat the cause, not just polish the surface."
As a licensed esthetician and certified nutritionist, Kelsey looks at skin as part of the whole body. Her work focuses on adult acne, pigmentation, sensitive skin, barrier repair, and sculpted, healthy aging results. Clients travel from Laguna, Los Angeles, and San Diego for her personalized approach.

Frequently Asked
Questions, answered.
A full 45-minute Introductory Skin Analysis Facial: 1:1 skin diagnosis, double cleanse, custom exfoliation, gentle extractions, lymphatic facial massage, LED light therapy, custom serums and mask, SPF finish, and a written at-home routine. Nothing is removed because of the price — this is the same facial we charge $250 for.
No. The $49 facial is a complete, no-obligation treatment. After your appointment, Kelsey will share a roadmap. Joining the Kennedy Skincare Program is entirely optional — we'd rather have a client for life than a sale today.
Honestly? Because the best way to understand the difference is to feel it. The before-and-after photos on this page are what one Kennedy facial — and our follow-up program — can do. We'd rather earn your trust than sell you on a discount.
Absolutely — and it's one of Kelsey's specialties. She's worked with hundreds of Newport Beach clients with cystic acne, rosacea, psoriasis, and reactive skin. Every product is selected based on your skin's tolerance, never a template.
Most chain or device-based facials run the same protocol on every face. Kelsey's starts with a real diagnosis, then builds your treatment from a menu of professional modalities (LED, lymphatic massage, custom serums, dermaplaning, microderm, microchanneling). The result: noticeably different skin, not just a glow that fades by tomorrow.
We ask for 24-hour notice on cancellations or reschedules. Same-day cancellations and no-shows are charged 50% of the booked service. Life happens — text us, we'll work with you.
Kennedy Skincare is at 3848 Campus Dr, Suite 107, Newport Beach, CA 92660 — minutes from John Wayne Airport, Fashion Island, Newport Coast, Costa Mesa, and Corona del Mar. Free parking on site.

Before: avoid retinol for 3 days, don't wax or dermaplane within 5 days, skip the gym right before. After: no heavy makeup, sweating, retinol, or strong actives for 24 hours. No direct sun without SPF. Your skin is in repair mode — keep it simple.
Most clients see brighter, more even skin immediately after the session. Deeper concerns — acne scarring, pigmentation, fine lines — require consistent treatment over time. After your first facial, Kelsey will give you an honest timeline based on your specific skin.
For maintenance, once every 4–6 weeks. For active concerns (acne, pigmentation, anti-aging), Kelsey typically recommends monthly sessions for 90 days, then reassessing. Your skin tells us — it's not a one-size schedule.
Yes. Kelsey is a California-licensed esthetician with advanced training in corrective skincare, acne, pigmentation, and collagen induction therapy. Kennedy Skincare is a clinical esthetic studio — not a med spa, not a chain. Every treatment is performed by Kelsey personally.
Yes. Kelsey uses and retails professional-grade skincare from the same medical-grade lines she uses in treatment. If something works on your skin during the session, you can take it home. No upsell pressure — you'll leave with a written routine and can purchase what makes sense for your budget.
The Kennedy Difference
Most facials treat the surface.
Most facials treat the surface.
This one treats your skin.
Here's what makes a Kennedy facial different from every chain, spa, and HydraFacial you've tried.
🔬
Diagnosis before anything
Chains run a protocol. Kelsey reads your skin first — under magnification — then builds your treatment. Your skin is never treated like the average client's.
👤
Always Kelsey. Always.
No rotating staff, no handoffs. Kelsey sees every client personally and remembers your skin from session one. She builds on what she learned last time.
📋
You leave with a plan
Not just a glow. You leave with a written routine — what to use, in what order, why. Results that build instead of reset every time.
💊
Medical-grade products only
Professional-grade serums and actives — not the branded retail lines most spas use. The same products you can't get at a drug store.
🎯
Corrective, not cosmetic
The goal isn't a nice glow that fades by Thursday. It's treating the root cause — cleared acne, faded pigmentation, visibly lifted skin over time.
✋
Real extractions, done right
Chains skip them or do them lightly. Kelsey clears congestion properly — manually, safely, without inflammation. Your pores actually clear.
