About Customized Facials 

We use consultations to create a customized facial to help with everything from acne, hyper-pigmentation, wrinkles, melasma, rosacea, excessive oil or sensitive skin. Our aesthetician can also recommend a skin care treatment and products that will help you maximize your results and protect the investment you are making in your skin.

Facials Offered 

  • Diamond Glow Facial:

    The Diamond Glow Facial is a non-invasive, multi-step treatment that simultaneously exfoliates, extracts, and infuses the skin with custom serums to improve skin texture, tone, and hydration. Using diamond-tipped wand technology, this facial gently removes dead skin cells, unclogs pores, and delivers nourishing serums deep into the skin, leaving it radiant, rejuvenated, and glowing.

  • Dermaplane:

    The Dermaplane is a gentle exfoliation treatment that removes dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the surface of the skin, revealing smoother, brighter skin underneath. This non-invasive procedure also enhances the effectiveness of skincare products and makeup application, resulting in a smoother complexion and improved skin texture. *Can be added to any service.

  • Microneedling (Micropen) Facial:

    Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive procedure that stimulates the skin's natural healing process by creating tiny micro-injuries using a specialized micropen device. This promotes collagen and elastin production, leading to firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin. Microneedling can also improve the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, and wrinkles.

  • Chemical Peel Facial:

    Chemical peels are customized treatments that use exfoliating solutions to remove dead skin cells and promote cell turnover, revealing smoother, more radiant skin. Our dermatologists offer a variety of chemical peels, ranging from superficial to deep peels, to address specific skin concerns such as acne, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and signs of aging. Each peel is tailored to the individual's skin type and goals to achieve optimal results.

    Types of Chemical Peels: 

    • Obagi Blue skin facials 
    • Obaji Blue Peel Radiance

  • Skintrinsiq™  Facial:

    DAO is proud to have the first professional-use device designed by Obagi. Powered by InfuseIQ™ technology, the Skintrinsiq™ device extracts debris and impurities then infuses Obagi’s proven skincare exactly where it’s needed most.

    The Skintrinsiq device uses pneumatic technology that provides negative and positive pressure at varying levels for different benefits throughout the treatment. Optional simultaneous LED light helps DAO patients reach their skincare goals and address problem areas without adding treatment time.

Patient Testimonials

Katie T.

I definitely recommend Dermatology Associates! There was no long wait like at most places. The waiting room and exam room were clean and comfortable, and the staff was super nice. I had to call multiple times after having trouble with the patient portal, and each time I called, they were nice and helpful. Katie made me feel so comfortable. She didn’t try to rush through my appointment to get to the next patient like in some places. She answered all my questions and made me feel so at ease, even with my terrible anxiety. Seriously can’t say enough good things about this place!

Betty T. 

Great experiences on every visit. Short wait in both the waiting room and the exam room. Dr Shipp is generous with samples and advice on saving money on scripts. Everybody from the front office, nurse and check out was kind, friendly and efficient.

FAQ

Yes, facials can be customized to accommodate various skin types, including dry, oily, combination, sensitive, and aging skin. Our experienced estheticians assess each client's skin type and concerns before tailoring the facial to address specific needs and achieve optimal results.

The frequency of facials depends on individual skin concerns, goals, and lifestyle factors. For most clients, receiving a facial every 4-6 weeks is recommended to maintain skin health and address ongoing concerns. However, our estheticians can provide personalized recommendations based on your skin type and condition.

Yes, many facial treatments are safe during pregnancy, but it's essential to inform your esthetician if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Certain ingredients and techniques may need to be adjusted to ensure the safety of both you and your baby. Our estheticians are trained to provide pregnancy-safe facials tailored to your specific needs.

Certain facial treatments, such as microneedling and chemical peels, can help improve the appearance of acne scars by stimulating collagen production and promoting skin renewal. However, the effectiveness of treatment depends on the type and severity of the scars. Our estheticians can assess your skin and recommend the most appropriate treatment options for acne scar reduction.

Yes, facials can be adapted to accommodate sensitive skin by using gentle, non-irritating products and techniques. Our estheticians are trained to customize facials to address sensitivity, redness, and inflammation while providing nourishment and hydration to the skin. We prioritize client comfort and safety during all facial treatments.

Most facial treatments require little to no downtime, allowing you to resume your daily activities immediately afterward. However, certain treatments, such as chemical peels and microneedling, may result in temporary redness, mild flaking, or sensitivity, which typically resolves within a few days. Our estheticians provide post-treatment care instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.

Yes, facials can help reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation by exfoliating dead skin cells, promoting cell turnover, and delivering brightening ingredients to the skin. Chemical peels, microdermabrasion, and LED light therapy are effective treatments for addressing hyperpigmentation and achieving a more even skin tone. Our estheticians can recommend the most suitable treatment options based on your skin concerns.

The duration of facial results varies depending on individual skin type, concerns, and lifestyle factors. While facials provide immediate improvements in skin texture, tone, and hydration, regular maintenance treatments are recommended to sustain long-term benefits. Our estheticians can develop a customized skincare plan to help you maintain healthy, radiant skin between facial appointments.

Yes, facials can complement other cosmetic procedures, such as injectables, laser treatments, and surgical procedures, by preparing the skin, optimizing results, and promoting faster recovery. Our estheticians work closely with our dermatologists and cosmetic specialists to coordinate treatment plans and ensure comprehensive care for our clients.

Choosing the right facial involves considering your specific skin type, concerns, and goals. Our estheticians conduct thorough consultations to assess your skin and discuss your skincare objectives before recommending the most suitable facial treatment. Whether you're targeting acne, aging, dryness, or dullness, we offer personalized solutions to address your unique needs and achieve radiant, healthy skin.
