Services
Hydrafacial
Hydrafacial combines cleansing, exfoliation, and hydration in a 30-minute treatment. This three-step process removes dead skin cells, extracts impurities, and infuses antioxidants to reveal radiant skin. Ideal for all skin types, it addresses fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven texture.
DiamondGlow
DiamondGlow uses diamond-tip exfoliation to improve skin texture and tone. The treatment removes dead skin cells while stimulating collagen production. It effectively reduces acne scars, sun damage, and pore size for a brighter complexion.
VI Peel
VI Peel targets fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage with a medical-grade solution. This painless treatment promotes cell turnover to reveal smoother, more even-toned skin. Results are visible after a single session with minimal downtime.
SkinPen Microneedling
SkinPen Microneedling creates micro-injuries to stimulate natural collagen production. This FDA-cleared treatment improves skin texture, reduces scars, and enhances product absorption. Visible results appear within weeks of treatment.
Waxing
We offer full-body waxing services for both men and women. Our treatments use high-quality wax to remove unwanted hair while exfoliating dead skin. Results last longer than shaving with reduced regrowth over time.

Visited Palmer skin a few days ago and it's a great little gem. The girl at the front desk was kind and informative the waiting area is relaxing and cozy. I went in to see my girl Rose for Botox. If you haven't seen her and you're in need of injectables you must give Rose a try. I promise you will never go to anyone else. She is amazing.

I just want to start off by saying this place is AMAZING!!! Lizzy SAVED my skin. I was suffering from an allergic reaction for a product and months of using a face wash that was destroying my sensitive skin. I went and had a hydrofacial from Lizzy and she is so amazing. I went from red and painful skin from a rosacea flair up to happy/glowing and moisturized skin. It's my third day since and I literally feel like years have been taken off. All my friends and boyfriend have complimented my skin, I haven't even needed to wear any makeup. Lizzy was so kind and informative. I could not give

Kayleigh is super friendly and professional, enjoyed my waxing experience with her. Too bad I wanted something permanent so I started laser treatment and had to stop waxing. The business is clean and all the staff are nice and welcoming!

Palmer Skin is my go to place for all things skin care in San Diego. Lizzy is an amazing esthetician! I highly recommend booking with her. From Hydrafacials to customized skincare advice; she tailors everything. Palmer Skin has a clean and private environment to relax and enjoy some self care.
