RACHEL BARBER, FNP-C
Hi. I'm Rachel.
I'm Rachel Barber, FNP-C. I've practiced aesthetic medicine since 2013 and opened Lux in 2017 because I wanted more time with each patient and a more personal approach to aesthetic care. Lux is intentionally unhurried with an emphasis on thoughtful recommendations, continuity, and getting to know my patients over time.
A more personal approach to aging well.
This is not a typical Medspa. Lux is a small medical aesthetics practice in Ukiah for patients who value natural looking results and long term care. There's no menu here. No pressure to add on. Most visits start with a conversation about what's changed since we last met, what you've been noticing, what matters to you right now.
Sometimes that leads to treatment. Sometimes it doesn't.
My approach to treatment.
I don't offer every aesthetic treatment, and I don't believe more treatment is always better. I focus on a limited number of treatments that I know well and use selectively.
Sometimes that means wrinkle relaxer. Sometimes it means addressing skin quality, collagen loss or changes in facial structure. And sometimes my recommendation is to leave something alone.
You don't need to know what treatment you need before coming in. That's part of my job.
What I treat.
A THOUGHTFUL, INTEGRATED APPROACH TO NATURAL LOOKING RESULTS.
EXPRESSION & MOVEMENT
Botox, Dysport and Xeomin
STRUCTURE & VOLUME
Conservative dermal filler and collagen stimulating injections when appropriate
SKIN QUALITY
VI PEEL and medical needling for appropriate pigmentation, sun damage and skin quality concerns
A small practice by design.
I see a limited number of patients so appointments aren't rushed and established patients have continuity of care. Most established patients reserve maintenance appointments several months ahead. New patient openings are limited and the typical wait is approximately 1-3 months.
“Wonderful experience each and every time. Rachel is the most sweetest person & very professional & knowledgeable about what she is doing! Would absolutely recommend & she's amazing with new clients.”
