Andy Ferski has had an inherent passion for aesthetics and dermatology since he was a child. He's always been artistically driven and found aesthetics to be the perfect combination of art and medicine - allowing him to pursue his passion while caring for others.
Andy received his undergraduate degree in microbiology at the University of Minnesota. He then went on to acquire a master's degree in applied clinical research at St. Cloud State before moving to Chicago, IL. During his time in Chicago, he completed a second master's in physician assistant studies from the Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine where he completed specialized training in outpatient skin surgery and dermatology in preparation for his aesthetic career.
Today, Andy stands out as a practitioner for his gentle touch and calming demeanor - qualities that make his patients feel comfortable and confident. He has devoted himself to continuous learning and research so he can provide the best treatment for each patient.
Andy has a strong passion for light- and laser-based treatments, particularly IPL and laser resurfacing, because he believes these to be two of the most impactful treatments for the right candidates.
When it comes to home care, Andy believes it is very important to understand not every product works for every individual. A product that produces incredible results for one person might contribute to dry or oily skin, acne breakouts, or subpar results in another. His philosophy on skincare and at-home products is based on years of trial and error for sensitive, temperamental skin. He has found that having a set of two to three key products can be affordable, help dramatically improve skin texture and tone, and greatly enhance the results of other aesthetic services a patient may be interested in.
When he's not helping patients at SkinSpirit, Andy enjoys cooking and playing classical violin.
Andrew Ferski, MS, MMS, PA-C - Andrew "Andy" brings together a lifelong passion for art (he plays classical violin) and medical science. This unique perspective informs his approach, combining meticulous technique with an artistic eye for natural-looking aesthetic results at SkinSpirit Noe Valley & Presidio Heights.

She especially enjoys using her artistic eye with filler to sculpt, restore, and refine facial features.

Taline Hovsepian has pursued her passion for medical aesthetics for over 14 years. From studying art to psychology to nursing, she's always enjoyed art of all forms.
She loves what she does today because it's so rewarding to have made someone's day, by helping them build some confidence, or just making them look refreshed. Her clients are trusting her with their faces, and that's something she doesn't take lightly.
Taline's approach to aesthetics: is less is more. The key to beauty is proportion and at times, this message tends to get lost in the sea of exaggerated looks, especially with social media.
