Kirkland

Glow Medispa - Kirkland was founded by Dr. Des Otto in November 2019. That's right! Barely open for a few months, we were then shut down for the next 3. But with a growing practice, our spa flourished despite the challenges posed by the pandemic. We love serving Kirkland and the greater Eastside, providing safe, effective treatments with minimal downtime and natural results. Our Kirkland location conveniently serves the greater Eastside including Bellevue, Renton, Issaquah, Woodinville, and Mill Creek.

She attended the University of Washington for medical school and surgical residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology. She has been in private practice in Obstetrics and Gynecology for 22 rewarding years bringing beautiful babies into the world.

Both prior to and during her medical training, Des’ passion for science led to her pursuit of discovery through scientific research. Her areas of study were collagen biology and skin disorders, reproductive biology, and cancer gene therapy. Through time, Des has become increasingly interested in combating the aging process, both for herself and her patients, especially since she turned 50. Des has been using her scientific training to carefully select specific medical techniques that are able to predictably achieve safe and natural-appearing results for her patients.

Desiree’s life long goal has always been to achieve medical excellence and she uses her passion and experience to deliver safe and effective products and services to her patients to yield beautiful natural results.
