MY STORY

I am Alisa Bretz, a licensed esthetician in the USA who believes that skincare is more than a routine—it is a ritual for the mind, body, and spirit. I create facials and head spa treatments that unite the art of European facial massage, advanced U.S. techniques, and time-honored traditions I studied in China.

My journey began in Russia, where I first fell in love with facial massage—not as a cosmetic trend, but as a deeply restorative practice. Over time, through international training and hands-on experience across cultures, this philosophy evolved into something more intentional and refined.

The Skin & Scalp Atelier was created as a reflection of that journey—a space where global techniques meet thoughtful care, and where treatments are designed not only to improve the skin, but to restore balance and presence. Today, I bring this holistic approach into every experience, offering personalized rituals that leave both skin and soul renewed.

Bespoke Facials & DMK Enzyme Therapy

Every face tells a different story. That's why no two treatments at Skin & Scalp Atelier are ever the same.

My facials are more than skincare—they are a personalized experience that combines advanced skin science with the artistry of European facial massage. Every treatment is carefully designed to improve skin health while creating a deep sense of relaxation and renewal.

Using a customized combination of dermaplaning, enzyme exfoliation, ultrasound, LED light therapy, microcurrent, oxygen infusion, professional-grade serums, and my signature sculpting and lifting massage techniques, each session is tailored to your skin's unique condition and goals.

Warm and cold towel therapy, ozone mist, lymphatic stimulation, and gentle neck, shoulder, and scalp massage complete the experience, allowing your entire body to relax while your skin is restored.

DMK Enzyme Therapy — Skin Revision, Not Just Skincare

As a certified DMK Skin Revision Therapist, I offer one of the world's most advanced paramedical skin treatments.

Unlike traditional facials that focus primarily on the surface of the skin, DMK Enzyme Therapy works to restore the skin's natural function from within. Through its unique transfer messenger enzyme technology, the treatment stimulates circulation, increases oxygenation, activates the lymphatic system, and encourages healthy collagen production.

The result is healthier, stronger, more resilient skin—not simply a temporary glow.

DMK Enzyme Therapy is ideal for improving:

Aging and loss of firmness
Fine lines and wrinkles
Acne and congestion
Rosacea and redness
Hyperpigmentation and sun damage
Uneven texture
Dehydrated or compromised skin
Overall skin health and long-term skin function

Many clients notice the signature Plasmatic Effect during treatment—a temporary vascular response that demonstrates increased circulation and oxygen delivery to the skin. It is one of the many reasons DMK has earned its reputation as a leader in clinical skin revision.

Whether you're looking for a luxurious facial experience, long-term skin correction, or a customized treatment plan, every session is designed with one goal: healthier skin that continues improving long after you leave the treatment room.

Located in Vestavia Hills, Alabama, Skin & Scalp Atelier proudly serves clients throughout Birmingham and surrounding communities who are looking for luxury facial treatments, advanced DMK Enzyme Therapy, and truly personalized skin revision.

Head Spa Ritual

My head spa is a journey for both scalp and soul — a deeply restorative ritual that blends advanced scalp care with ancient relaxation techniques.

It begins with a computerized scalp analysis to understand your unique needs, followed by gentle cleansing, exfoliation, and detox rituals to purify and refresh. Enzymes, steam, and ultrasonic tools lift away buildup while nourishing oils restore hydration and vitality to the scalp and hair.

This ritual goes beyond the scalp: soothing face and neck massage, cryo lymph drainage, and calming herbal steam relax the senses, while shirodhara-inspired warm water and eye drips bring the mind into deep stillness.

Every session ends with a warm towel infusion, finishing touches for the skin, and a simple hair braid to seal in the experience.

The result: a clear, healthy scalp, stronger hair growth, and an unparalleled sense of renewal from head to toe.
