With over 28 years of experience in plastic and reconstructive surgery and working with burn patients, Maria wanted to share her knowledge with clients and created Maria De Sio Skincare. “I believe that progressive treatments are the key to healthy skin, and as a result, I have combined the latest in mechanical treatments such as microdermabrasion with a unique treatment that exfoliates, cleans, hydrates and oxygenates, while delivering over 87 different vitamins, minerals, enzymes and amino acids to the treated area, thus creating The Pure Oxygen Crystal Facial.
Her knowledge of the skin and eagerness to challenge new ideas and techniques put her in the forefront of cutting edge skincare. Maria De Sio believes that the key to skin management success includes equal parts education and nurturing, which ultimately leaves us with stress reduced skin that glows, and a client that feels good about themselves.
