A New Name,
The Same Promise

“Isis Skin & Body” is now Elyssium Advanced Skin Care.

While our original name was inspired by the ancient Egyptian beauty goddess, its meaning has changed in today’s world. Our new name, Elyssium, reflects a place of ideal happiness—something we have always aimed to provide.

At Elyssium, we remain committed to delivering advanced, physician-directed treatments that promote healthy, smooth skin in a welcoming and professional environment.

Where Science Meets
Skin Health

At Elyssium Advanced Skin Care, we help restore your skin using the latest laser advancements.

Just as a healthy body relies on proper care, healthy skin depends on natural regeneration. Through the power of light, our treatments stimulate your skin’s natural repair processes—safely and without invasive procedures.

We combine:

  • Advanced laser technology
  • Physician-grade skincare products
  • Personalized treatment plans

All within a physician-operated clinic focused on real, lasting results.

Office Manager

SJCC 2012 – Licensed Esthetician
Certifications: Cutera, Venus Concept, Certified Hydrafacial Provider

My official title is office manager, but I do a little bit of everything! I am the person behind our websites, events, staffing, promotions, emails and social media. I interact with reps from various companies to review products and machines that best suit our practice. I’m also an esthetician by trade and make time to see clients at Elyssium. I have worked in skincare and cosmetics for over 13 years, where I grew my knowledge of the industry and decided to become an esthetician. I came to Elyssium 7 years ago and feel very blessed to work with such a tight-knit, kind and talented group of people. I’m proud to serve our amazing, diverse, and friendly clients here in Oakland.

Katie Lea
Registered Nurse
Bachelors of Science in Nursing, 2000
Pediatric Registered Nurse, Kaiser Permanente, 2001-present
Cosmetic Nurse, Elyssium Advanced Skin Care 2003-present

I’ve worked as a cosmetic nurse for 16 years. My passion is truly helping others look and feel their best. I love enhancing people’s own natural beauty, whether that is by removing unwanted hair, dark spots, sagging skin, wrinkles and fine lines, or skin tags, or by helping to increase their collagen, skin elasticity and texture. My goal is to help others see how beautiful and unique they really are. I enjoy learning about new advances in skin care and educating my clients.

Specializing in laser hair removal, Venus Freeze, Venus Viva, neuromodulators (xeomin), and personalized skin care regimens.
