In a cosmetic world filled with shortcuts and overpromises, St. Petersburg Skin and Laser stands as a rare and refined alternative—where elite training, medical precision, and cutting-edge technology come together to create results that are right the first time.

Founded in 2020 by Dr. Katarina Kesty and joined by her sister, Dr. Chelsea Kesty, this physician-only clinic was designed to serve patients who expect more—those unwilling to gamble with their skin or endure the heartbreak of botched care or disappointing results. Both doctors are Double Board-Certified Dermatologists with advanced laser expertise, setting a gold standard in aesthetic medicine that few practices can match.

Built for Those Who Will Not Settle

Unlike typical med spas, where lasers and injectables are often handled by minimally trained staff, every procedure at St. Petersburg Skin and Laser is performed exclusively by a Board-Certified physician. This is not only safer—it is smarter.

“Our patients do not want a do-over later,” says Dr. Chelsea Kesty. “They want beautiful, confident results from the very beginning. That is what we deliver.”

The practice attracts individuals who value precision, personalization, and an uncompromising standard of care. Many have spent years researching before selecting a provider. When they find the Kestys, they know they are in the right place.

Laser Mastery Without Compromise

With a curated collection of more than 30 laser and energy-based systems, the practice offers one of the most advanced laser clinics in the country. But it is not the technology that defines the outcomes—it is the mastery behind it.

Dr. Kat Kesty is among a small group of Fellowship Trained Laser Surgeons  in the United States, and together with Dr. Chelsea Kesty, the duo designs each treatment based on in-depth clinical knowledge, extensive patient experience, and proprietary AI-assisted skin analysis that brings a new level of precision to every procedure.

“When lasers are placed in expert hands, you get two things: safety and results that make people pause,” says Dr. Kat Kesty. “It is not about doing more—it is about doing it right.”

An Elevated Experience, From Start to Finish

From the initial consultation to post-treatment recovery, care is personalized, physician-guided, and deeply thoughtful. There is no generic treatment menu or sales pitch—only a tailored approach that reflects each patient’s unique skin, features, and goals.

Even recovery protocols are managed directly by the physicians, ensuring the skin heals optimally, comfortably, and beautifully. The result? Patients who look dramatically refreshed—without looking like they had work done.

Natural Results, Lasting Confidence

The most frequent feedback Dr. Kesty hears? “We love Dr. Kesty– she is the only doctor that I trust with my face!” 

One patient put it perfectly:

“I’m grateful to have found St. Pete Skin and Laser! Dr. Kat Kesty has done several dermatological procedures for me since last year. I’ve come to trust and greatly appreciate her top-notch expertise and professionalism.”

It is this kind of transformation—undeniable, yet undetectable—that defines St. Petersburg Skin and Laser. The patients who walk through these doors are not searching for quick fixes or last resorts. They are seeking excellence.

At St. Petersburg Skin and Laser, every detail reflects a higher standard—where science meets artistry, and each treatment is thoughtfully designed to elevate without overstatement. For those who seek the confidence of knowing they are in the most expert hands from the very beginning, this is not just a clinic. It is the destination.
