Marian Urban

Marian Urban is the founder and owner of Sterling Aesthetics in Santa Fe, New Mexico, which she established in 1984 as the city's first aesthetics practice. Known as The Skin Whisperer, her combination of medical and intuitive skills has earned her this distinction over more than 30 years of experience in skin care and repair. She specializes in caring for skin harmed by New Mexico's harsh high-altitude climate. She was instrumental in helping the New Mexico Board of Barber and Cosmetology establish curriculum and standards for esthetician students, and her continued insight and participation with the Board in policy-making and rule-making procedures demonstrate her leadership in the field. She continues to build her expertise by studying best practices and innovative skin care treatments. Patients describe her as a skin genius whose laser treatments, peels, and advice have literally saved their skin. One patient credited her with clearing cystic acne in just three months using laser treatments, dermaplaning, and extractions. Her practice at 1651 Galisteo Street, Suite 6, in Santa Fe uses only products with pure and natural ingredients developed without animal testing, and is trained in oncology skincare. Her team includes Genie Valen, Director of Non-Medical Treatments with over 22 years of experience. Sterling Aesthetics has 6 Yelp photos and serves clients from ages 10 to their 90s. Services include intuitive skin care treatments, laser treatments, chemical peels, dermaplaning, extractions, spider vein treatment, facials, skincare consultations, and professional skincare products.
