Most med spas open with a laser and a lease. Skin Artisans was created by the board-certified plastic surgeons of Edina Plastic Surgery in 1991, making it one of the very first medical spas in the Midwest. From the beginning, the practice was built on the principle that aesthetic care deserves the same precision, safety, and clinical rigor that patients expect in a surgical setting. More than three decades and 50,000 patients later, that standard still guides everything we do.
Today, Skin Artisans operates three Twin Cities locations in Edina, Minnetonka and Woodbury, offering a full spectrum of aesthetic and wellness treatments under the continued medical oversight of board-certified plastic surgeons. It’s a level of clinical credibility that most med spas simply can’t offer.
Skin Artisans Numbing Lounge is a quiet and private area where our patients can relax while their numbing cream prepares them for their procedures.
Skill matters when it comes to your skin. Our Aesthetic Injection Specialists are licensed RNs and nurse practitioners with advanced training from the Allergan Medical Institute, and several serve as national trainers who educate other providers on injection technique. Our Advanced Practice Estheticians are licensed, certified laser safety officers with deep expertise in skin physiology, laser science, and clinical skincare.
Across the team, our providers average more than 10 years of hands-on experience. We hold rigorous hiring standards because natural-looking results and patient safety depend on who is performing the treatment, not just which device or product is being used.
We don’t ask you to take our word for it. Skin Artisans has been consecutively recognized as Best Med Spa by Edina Magazine and earned Best Med Spa recognition in the Star Tribune’s Minnesota’s Best Reader’s Choice Awards. We hold a perfect five-star Google rating with hundreds of reviews from patients who come back year after year. And we’re proud to rank in the top 1% of Botox providers nationwide, a distinction earned through volume, consistency, and the trust of our patients.
Many med spas specialize in one or two areas. Skin Artisans covers the full picture, from injectables and dermal fillers to advanced laser treatments, clinical skincare, medical weight loss, and hormone optimization. That means your providers see the whole picture and can recommend treatments that work together toward a long-term plan, rather than addressing one concern in isolation.
Whether you’re exploring aesthetic treatments for the first time or you’ve been investing in your skin for years, our team meets you where you are and builds a plan around your goals.
We believe great results begin with understanding your skin at a deeper level. That’s why every new patient receives a complimentary VISIA Skin Analysis, an advanced imaging system that reveals sun damage, texture concerns, and other conditions beneath the surface that aren’t visible to the naked eye. It’s the foundation for a treatment plan based on data, not guesswork.
From there, the details matter. Our private Numbing Lounge allows you to relax comfortably before procedures. Pro-Nox, a patient-controlled nitrous oxide system, is available for anyone who wants additional comfort during injectables or laser treatments. New injectable patients receive complimentary touch-ups, and advanced laser patients go home with a complimentary aftercare kit of medical-grade recovery products. These aren’t perks. They’re part of how we practice.
