I recently went to Pore Decisions in San Jose, and I honestly can't say enough good things,…read moreespecially about Katelyn. As a 30-year-old guy, I never imagined myself getting a facial or anything close to one. I always thought these treatments were "for girls," but the moment I walked in, I realized how wrong I was. The environment is neutral, clean, modern, and welcoming to anyone, no matter your gender. Nothing about it felt like a "girls only" space; instead, it instantly made me feel comfortable and open to finally taking care of my skin without feeling out of place. That first impression alone set the tone for everything that followed.
Katelyn's professionalism, warmth, and expertise became clear the moment we started talking about my acne scarring. She recommended subcision paired with PRP to treat the scars from beneath the skin, something I had never heard of before. She explained the entire process step-by-step--how she would draw my blood, spin it down to separate the platelet-rich plasma, and use that concentrated healing component to support collagen production and enhance the results of the subcision. She made sure I understood how each step worked and what I could expect during the healing process. Even during the blood draw, she was so gentle and attentive that, for the first time ever, I didn't bruise at all. That alone shocked me, because I always bruise when having blood taken. During the treatment, she checked on me constantly and explained what she was doing and why, which made the entire experience feel surprisingly relaxed and reassuring.
By the time I walked out, I felt not only grateful for the care I received but genuinely impressed by how much Katelyn puts into her work. Her pricing is incredibly fair, especially given the level of skill, time, and personalized attention she provides. You can tell she truly loves helping people feel confident in their skin, and she treats you like a real person, not just another appointment on the schedule. If you're hesitant, especially if you're a guy who thinks these treatments aren't for you, trust me: go see Katelyn. She'll take better care of you than you ever expected, and you'll end up wondering why you didn't do it sooner.
