PUNXSUTAWNEY'S FIRST MEDICAL SPA
ABOUT
Pure Skin Esthetics was founded in 2020 as a solo esthetics spa. In 2023, it became Punxsutawney's first medical spa. The founder, Joelle Hoffman, saw the need for a setting that embraced confidence, beauty, and medical aesthetics with a warm approach.
Located in the heart of Punxsutawney, Pure Skin Esthetics is a quaint storefront that forego's the "sterile environment" of a medical office.
With over 20 years of experience combined, our providers look forward to welcoming you.
