Known as NYC's Acne Whisperer, she has become the go-to facialist for high-profile models, editors, and celebrities including Zendaya, Lorde, Ella Emhoff, and Ego Nwodim.

She completed her aesthetics program at Christine Valmy beauty school and launched her spa in 2018. She also works one day a week in a dermatologist's office performing laser therapy, PRP treatments, and medical-grade peels.

She founded Sofie Pavitt Face in 2023, a studio-grade skincare line designed specifically for acne-prone and sensitive skin, sold at Violet Grey and Sephora. Her 12-week acne program provides a comprehensive 360-degree approach to clearing skin through monthly facials, homecare, and lifestyle adjustments. Her skincare philosophy is to take the path of least resistance: do less, optimize treatments. She developed a pore-clogging ingredient search engine on her website. Her products include the Clean Clean Cleanser, Mandelic Clearing Serum, and Omega Rich Moisturizer. She has been featured in Vogue, NYLON, NaturallyCurly, and numerous beauty publications. Services at her studio include results-driven facials, acne clearing programs, skin clearing transformations, extractions, chemical peels, laser treatments, PRP, and personalized skincare consultations.
