Rachel Webb, Master Esthetician
My name is Rachel Webb. I’m a graduate of NIMA (National Institute of Medical Aesthetics), and a licensed Master Aesthetician specializing in laser treatments, chemical peels, microneedling, and customized facials. I decided I wanted to be an Aesthetician after dealing with so many skin problems myself. I understand the physical pain and emotional exhaustion that comes from trying to maintain healthy skin. Throughout my time as an Aesthetician, I have gained a much deeper understanding of skincare, and it has been so rewarding helping others reach their own goals. It can be intimidating to come in and get started, but I work hard to make sure each client feels safe and comfortable throughout each treatment. In partnership with Swinyer-Woseth Dermatology, I know we can help you achieve your skincare goals!
When I’m not at work, I spend my free time as a rock climbing instructor and belayer. I also love cooking, card games, camping, and reading.
I have a fair complexion and susceptible to skin issues. Enjoy going to their office the doctors and assistants have been very kind. Would recommend this office.
I had a great experience removing my skin cancer on the front of my shoulder a week ago. They were kind, detailed, and took the time to explain the whole process. I am glad I have chosen them to assist with my dermatology needs.
Very professional and skilled! Finally able to resolve some issues I’ve had in the past that other dermatologists ignored.
Dr. Woseth has long played a critical role in my health, for which I will be forever in his debt. He is one of the nicest and most competent doctors I have ever met.

Everyone at the office is very caring. I've been a patient here for about 3-4 years and they've taken care of me so well. The treatment they provide has been life changing!
First time doing a skin check and having something removed. They were very nice and fast. It was completely painless and relaxing. Pretty sure I found my new dermatologist.
