Urban Skin Rx®, an unparalleled line of clinical skincare products, was developed by Rachel Roff, a highly successful Licensed Aesthetician. In 2006 Rachel opened her own medical spa, in Charlotte, NC, and it quickly became the leading medical spa and laser center for treating melanin-rich skin. Through her experience working on clients, Rachel learned which ingredients and formulations most effectively improved common conditions in skin of color, including hyperpigmentation and melasma. Recognizing the wide unmet need for products to address the concerns of diverse skin tones, Rachel founded Urban Skin Rx® in 2010. Urban Skin Rx® and Pro Strength™ collections include effective, targeted solutions with scientifically researched ingredients to help reduce the appearance of dark marks and uneven skin tone. The brand also offers additional products that smooth texture, reduce the visible signs of aging and fight acne and dry skin. Urban Skin Rx® is sold online at urbanskinrx.com and at Target, Ulta, Walmart, Amazon, CVS, QVC.com, HSN.com and Dermstore.com. In 2020, the brand launched its first international distribution in Nigeria.

What was your reason for becoming a licensed aesthetician?I wanted to find a career I was passionate about and would be happy to wake up and do it every day. After working in an artisan soap boutique for a while I became fascinated with skincare ingredients and how they help improve different skin concerns and I knew I wanted to make a career out of helping others improve their skin and confidence.

about me
Hi, my name is Tiesha. I am originally from Wilmington, NC. My love of skincare started at a young age. I always thought it was very important to moisturize and protect your skin. It wasn't until I began working for a small artisan soap company that I became fascinated with the skincare world and I wanted to find a way to make a career out of it. I loved learning about product ingredients and how they helped different skin concerns. I attended the Aveda Arts & Sciences Institute Charlotte and thus a young aesthetician was born. From learning about my own skin type, what products I could use and not use to seeing how I was able to impact my client’s life through my knowledge and treatments, becoming an aesthetician has been a fulfilling career.
