Your skin works hard for you every day, protecting you from the sun, keeping moisture in, and even helping regulate your temperature. But over time, things like sun exposure, the aging process, and everyday skin conditions can change how it looks and feels. Maybe you’ve noticed uneven skin tone, dark spots, or a patch of stubborn dryness, or you have an old tattoo you’d like to fade.
At Kucumber Skin Lounge in Seattle, Bellevue, and Bellingham, skin health is always the starting point. Our team listens, explains your options clearly, and focuses on treatments that actually fit your life. Whether it’s improving pigmentation, removing unwanted ink, or giving your skin the care it needs to stay healthy, they help you make choices that feel informed and comfortable.
Skin has a lot to say about your health and lifestyle. Sun exposure, the aging process, hormonal changes, and even certain skin diseases can affect the way skin tone looks and feels. Tiny blood vessels, melanin production, and the skin’s ability to repair itself all play a role in skin appearance over time.
We offer treatments that target the outermost layers where pigment sits, stimulate collagen and connective tissue, and help skin cells work the way they should. We also guide you on how to protect your skin from future damage, from wearing protective clothing to choosing mild cleansers and using vitamin C or kojic acid in your skincare.
Hyperpigmentation happens when the body produces too much melanin in certain spots. The result can be freckles, solar lentigines (age spots), liver spots, or areas where the skin looks darker than the surrounding tissue. This is one of the most common forms of skin conditions we treat, and it’s often caused by sun damage, acne vulgaris, hormonal shifts, or inflammation.
We can treat hyperpigmentation in several ways:
Our goal isn’t just to reduce hyperpigmentation. It’s to restore balance, protect skin integrity, and improve your skin’s ability to stay healthy.
Tattoos can be meaningful, but they can also be a reminder you’d rather not carry. Over time, the ink may fade, blur, or no longer match your style. Laser tattoo removal breaks pigment into tiny particles that your body naturally clears away through sweat glands and other natural processes.
Our treatments work on a wide range of ink colors and skin tones. Sessions are spaced apart to allow skin to heal and reduce the risk of irritation. With each treatment, the tattoo fades until it’s much lighter, or gone entirely.
Skin health isn’t only about how skin looks in the mirror. Healthy skin protects the body, regulates temperature through sweat glands, and serves as the first barrier against infection. Problems like dry skin conditions, skin irritation, fungal infections, or premature skin aging can weaken that barrier.
We offer treatments that purify, nourish, and boost the skin so it can function at its best:
We also discuss lifestyle choices that keep skin healthy, things like drinking plenty of water, getting enough sleep, avoiding tanning beds, and wearing protective clothing when you’re outdoors.
These treatments can:
People come to us with many different skin issues: pigmentation disorders, acne scarring, age spots, sun damage, dry skin, or tattoos they no longer want. You might be a good fit for treatment if your skin is generally healthy and free from infections or open wounds, and if you don’t have a medical condition (like Addison’s disease) that would interfere with healing.
The best way to know for sure is to have a skin consultation. We’ll look closely at your skin’s condition, talk about your goals, and suggest treatments that match your needs and your skin type.
A consultation is your chance to tell us what’s been bothering you. Maybe your skin has gotten darker in certain areas from light exposure, or you’re seeing more wrinkles and sun spots than before. We’ll examine your skin tone, check for signs of skin damage, and rule out underlying skin diseases.
Before your appointment, it’s smart to avoid tanning beds, limit sun exposure, and skip strong cosmetic products that could cause irritation. We might also recommend stopping certain medications or supplements that make skin more sensitive to UV rays.
Most treatments happen right here in our clinic. Sessions can be as short as 15 minutes for a small area or up to an hour for larger treatment zones. For laser-based procedures, we usually apply a topical numbing cream so you stay comfortable. Some treatments, like HydraFacial or chemical peels, require no numbing at all.
You may feel warmth, tingling, or light snapping during laser treatments. Afterward, the treated area might look slightly pink or swollen. This is normal and usually fades within a day or two.
Results depend on the treatment. Some people see brighter, more even skin tone within a week. Others, like those removing tattoos or treating deeper pigmentation, may need multiple sessions spaced weeks apart.
Most patients get back to normal routines right away. We’ll ask you to avoid hot water on the treated area for a short time, use mild cleansers instead of harsh scrubs, and wear SPF 30 or higher daily. This protects new skin cells and helps prevent skin cancer, sunburn, and other sun-related skin problems.
Good home care also makes a difference. Things like treating dry skin with nourishing moisturizers, eating enough vitamin-rich foods, and protecting skin from UV rays all help maintain your results.
Costs vary based on your treatment plan, the size of the area we’re treating, and the number of sessions needed. We’ll go over pricing during your consultation so there are no surprises. Your plan may include the provider’s time, any numbing agents or topical medications, and follow-up care to make sure your skin is healing well.
Because everyone’s skin and goals are different, we don’t have a one-size-fits-all price list. What we can promise is that we’ll work with you to find an approach that’s both effective and worth your investment.
Kucumber Skin Lounge isn’t just another place to get treatments. It’s a practice built by two pioneers in non-surgical aesthetics, Nadya Kozlova and Shay Sim, who’ve been refining their craft for over 20 years.

Every service on the menu has been hand-picked and tested by the founders to make sure it delivers real results and a comfortable experience. The team here knows that great skin care isn’t just about the device or product, it’s about the person using it, and the way it’s tailored to your needs.
