Welcome to The Aesthetic Lounge
A place where expertise meets intention—and every face is treated like a masterpiece in progress.
While we’re new to West Haven, our standard of care is anything but new. With a foundation built on years of dermatology experience and advanced aesthetic training, The Aesthetic Lounge was created for discerning individuals who want more than one-size-fits-all treatments—they want a long-term partner in their beauty journey.
Here, we don’t rush. We don’t guess. And we never sell you something you don’t need. Every treatment is grounded in science, guided by ultrasound precision, and tailored to enhance the features you love while softly refining the ones you don’t.
From injectables to lasers, microneedling to biostimulators, every plan is personalized, every result intentional, and every client deeply cared for—before, during, and long after their appointment ends.
If you’re ready to feel seen, supported, and stunning in your own skin, you’re in the right place.
We’re here to help you look refreshed, not redone—and to make confidence your new signature.
At The Aesthetic Lounge, our mission is to elevate confidence through highly personalized, expert-led aesthetic care—where every client feels deeply seen, wholly cared for, and beautifully transformed.
our mission is simple:
We focus on genuine, personalized transformations that have people wondering what changed, not where you went. And we do it by building trust first—so you can face the world with the confidence you deserve.
Kate is a nationally trained Physician Assistant with a passion for elevating confidence through thoughtful, customized aesthetic care. With a strong foundation in dermatology and years of experience blending science with artistry, she brings a level of precision, warmth, and expertise that sets The Aesthetic Lounge apart.
After earning her Master’s in Physician Assistant Studies from Idaho State University, Kate completed advanced dermatology training under Dr. Dirk Elston at the prestigious Medical University of South Carolina—where she gained extensive experience in both medical and cosmetic dermatology. It was there she began refining the high-level techniques and detail-oriented approach that now define her work.
Today, she specializes in full-face rejuvenation, ultrasound-guided injectables, and science-backed skincare plans designed to enhance natural beauty without compromise. Her goal: to create treatment experiences that are deeply personalized, completely transparent, and undeniably effective.
Now based in West Haven, Kate has traded cross-country flights for time with her partner, Aaron, and their two beloved Mini Australian Shepherds, Maverick and Taz. When she’s not creating customized beauty plans, she’s usually reading, hiking, or exploring Utah’s outdoors. At the heart of everything she does is a belief that confidence starts with trust—and that every face deserves a plan as unique as the person behind it.
