Element Skin Therapy: Where Skin Health and Self-Care Come Together
For the founder of Element Skin Therapy, the love of skincare started early. Long before professional training or business plans, it began with curiosity, as Kialy Lessard, dug through her mom’s vanity, experimenting with face creams, and discovering how caring for skin could also be a form of self-care. When it came time to choose a path, the answer was always clear. She wanted to create a space where skincare and confidence went hand in hand, and where people felt supported as they stepped into the best version of themselves.
After studying esthetics and gaining experience in larger cities, Kialy moved back home to Billings. That return marked the beginning of Element Skin Therapy, which started as a solo practice and has since grown into a team of nine women dedicated to providing some of the most thoughtful, high-quality skincare services in the Billings area. From the beginning, the goal wasn’t fast fixes or fleeting trends. It was about building something lasting, for clients and the community.
Element is committed to long-term skin health. Treatments are holistic and non-invasive, but firmly rooted in corrective, results-focused care. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all services, the team builds customized treatment plans and professional skincare routines designed to support skin over time. Element also bridges the gap between clinical care and everyday self-care through its curated skincare boutique, offering products across multiple brands to meet different skin types, lifestyles, and preferences. That balance of expertise and accessibility isn’t something you find everywhere.
One service the team is especially proud of is the Signature Bespoke Skin Therapy Session. It’s far from a basic facial. Each session is highly tailored and results-driven, combining corrective skin therapy with a deeply relaxing experience. Clients don’t have to choose between effective treatment and restoration; they get both.
Behind the scenes, education plays a major role in everything Element does. The team dedicates hours each week to continued learning through webinars, conferences, hands-on training, and ongoing study. That commitment allows them to stay informed, confident, and prepared to deliver care that clients can truly see and feel. Education also extends into the treatment room, where clients leave not only with healthier skin, but with a better understanding of how to care for it.
The space itself reflects that thoughtful approach. Element is warm, welcoming, and quietly luxurious, with careful attention paid to every detail. It feels elevated without being intimidating, refined, but still deeply human. Clients can relax fully, knowing they’re in capable, compassionate hands.
Among client favorites is the Acne Bootcamp program, a highly personalized, structured approach to treating acne that addresses root causes rather than relying on medication. The program looks at lifestyle factors alongside skin health, offering sustainable solutions that work with the body. With a success rate above 96 percent, it’s not only transformative for the skin but also for confidence. Clients value the ongoing support and understanding built into the program, especially during what can be a vulnerable season.
More than anything, the hope at Element is that every client feels safe, welcomed, and never judged the moment they walk through the door. The skincare industry can sometimes feel overwhelming or intimidating, but Element intentionally creates an environment rooted in comfort, education, and support. Clients are encouraged to show up as they are and leave feeling better than when they arrive.
Being part of the Billings community has shaped Element in meaningful ways. Many clients have become close friends over the years, with relationships growing far beyond the treatment room. Those connections have led to shared milestones, mutual support through hard seasons, and a sense of community that continues to deepen.
Giving back is also a core value. Element regularly collaborates with other local businesses through partnerships, charity drives, donations, and giveaways. Supporting the Billings community and working alongside fellow small businesses is seen as both a responsibility and a privilege.
Looking ahead, Element’s next chapter is centered on intentional growth. Plans include expanding its membership offerings to support long-term skin health and welcoming additional skin therapists to maintain availability while preserving the personalized care clients know and trust. The team will also continue investing in advanced, non-invasive treatments that deliver real results while staying true to their values.
At its heart, Element Skin Therapy is about more than skincare. It’s about education, trust, and creating a space where people feel seen, supported, and confident in their skin and in themselves.
