DERMASPACE x DermaQuest

Introducing Our New Clinical Skincare Partnership

For 16 years, DERMASPACE has been known for results-driven, science-based skincare with zero fluff. Every product line we bring into the studio must earn its place—clinically, ethically, and in real-world results on real skin.

After months of research, sampling formulations, and testing compatibility with our protocols (including the Iderm Deep Ionization Facial), we’re proud to announce our new partnership with DermaQuest, a globally respected clinical skincare brand built on advanced formulation chemistry, problem-specific systems, and ingredient transparency.

This isn’t just a new retail line.
It’s a strategic upgrade to how we support your skin between treatments.

Why DermaQuest?

DermaQuest checks every box that matters to us:

1. Clinical-grade formulations with real data

Their products are built around stabilized actives, encapsulation technology, and pH-appropriate formulations that actually penetrate and perform.

2. Category-based systems for real skin concerns

Rather than a “one-size-fits-all” line, DermaQuest organizes products into targeted systems:

• Essentials (barrier + hydration)

• DermaClear (acne + congestion)

• MelaQuest (hyperpigmentation + melasma)

• Pure Peptide (healthy aging + repair)

• Retinols (renewal + resurfacing)

• SPF + support products

This makes it easy to build routines that are purposeful—not random.

3. Compatibility with the DERMASPACE philosophy

The Iderm Facial, oxygen infusions, enzyme treatments, and microchanneling all rely on a stable, functional skin barrier.

DermaQuest supports this approach with:

• barrier-first hydration builders

• sophisticated pigment regulators

• acne-focused actives

• retinols that are effective and tolerable

4. A long runway for growth

This initial launch is Phase 1.
We will be adding additional DermaQuest categories in 2026 to expand treatment pairings, seasonal routines, and advanced corrective programs.

IDERM, IONIZATION SKIN TREATMENT: Why This Treatment Works — The Science Explained

Iderm has been our signature treatment for 16 years because it’s based on physiology—not pampering. It improves how the skin functions at a cellular level, which is why the results last long after the appointment.

Fun Fact: The Iderm Facial was first developed in 1937 by Dr. Paul Meminger, a Los Angeles chemist who was far ahead of his time.

The treatment uses galvanic ionization, a low-level electrical current that temporarily lowers the skin’s resistance. This allows water-soluble vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to penetrate far deeper than topical products can on their own.

It’s like an injection without the needle….and pain.

WHY IT’S SO EFFECTIVE
Iderm targets the foundations of skin health:

Deep purifying: Ionization softens sebum and loosens impacted debris, making extractions cleaner and less traumatic.

Barrier repair + hydration: Minerals and trace elements replenish depleted skin, improving moisture retention and barrier strength.

Better circulation + oxygen flow: The current stimulates microcirculation, delivering nutrients more efficiently while helping remove cellular waste.

Faster cellular turnover: The ionic exchange supports healthier, more uniform regeneration—leading to clearer, more resilient skin.

Functional nutrient delivery: Vitamins pushed into the tissue help rebalance skin chemistry, calm inflammation, and support healing.

WHAT RESULTS DO CLIENTS SEE?

Over time, clients experience:
• Fewer breakouts + less congestion
• Clearer pores
• Smoother, stronger skin
• More even tone
• Calmer, less reactive skin
• Faster healing
• A healthier barrier
• Skin that performs better between visits

Most describe the treatment as a “reset button” because it trains the skin to behave like healthy skin again.

This isn’t a spa facial. It’s functional skincare backed by science.

October Is Peel Season: The Science & Benefits of Chemical Peels

As the leaves turn and the sun loses some of its intensity, October marks the start of peel season at DERMASPACE. Fall and winter are the best times to give your skin a reset with a professional chemical peel. With less sun exposure and cooler weather, your skin can safely recover and reveal its healthiest glow.

But what exactly is a chemical peel, how does it work, and which one is right for you? Let’s explore.

What Is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is a professional skin treatment that uses a blend of exfoliating acids to gently dissolve and remove layers of dull, damaged skin. Depending on the type of peel, it may work just on the surface or stimulate deeper repair in the skin.

The results? Brighter tone, smoother texture, fewer blemishes, improved collagen production, and a fresh, radiant complexion.

The Science Behind Chemical Peels

Over time, dead skin cells build up, making the skin look rough, uneven, or congested. A chemical peel works by breaking the bonds that hold those cells together, speeding up cell turnover and encouraging the growth of healthy new skin.

Deeper peels also reach into the dermis, where they stimulate collagen and elastin, the building blocks of youthful, firm skin. This makes peels not just corrective, but also preventive for long-term skin health.

Why October Is Peel Season

Chemical peels make your skin more sensitive to the sun, which is why fall and winter are the safest times to schedule them:

• Less UV Exposure: Shorter days mean less risk of post-peel sun damage.

• Post-Summer Repair: A peel can reverse visible effects of summer sun, like dark spots and uneven tone.

• Seasonal Reset: Just like your wardrobe changes with the seasons, your skin deserves a refresh too.

The Peels We Offer at DERMASPACE

At DERMASPACE, we’ve carefully selected advanced, clinical-grade chemical peels that deliver results while protecting the integrity of your skin barrier. Each option is customized by your esthetician based on your skin’s needs.

🌿 PCA Skin® Peels

Trusted and versatile, PCA peels target a wide range of concerns including acne, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and sun damage. They come in different strengths, making them a safe option for many skin types. Results include smoother texture, reduced blemishes, and a brighter, more even complexion.

✨ BioRePeelCl3®

This next-generation, no-peel peel from Italy provides impressive results with little to no downtime. BioRePeel uses a unique blend of acids, amino acids, and vitamins to exfoliate, stimulate collagen, and hydrate all at once. Perfect for busy schedules, it leaves skin firmer, refreshed, and glowing—without visible peeling.

🌙 4% Retinol Peel

Designed for more advanced rejuvenation, this professional-strength retinol peel encourages deep cellular renewal. It helps reduce fine lines, acne scars, and uneven pigmentation while boosting collagen production. Expect some visible peeling, followed by noticeably smoother, firmer, and brighter skin.

What to Expect After a Peel

After your treatment, you may notice light flaking or peeling as your skin renews itself. With BioRePeel, you’ll enjoy results without downtime. No matter which peel you choose, you can expect:

• A smoother, softer texture

• Brighter, more radiant tone

• Minimized fine lines and wrinkles

• Reduced acne breakouts

Peel Aftercare Tips

To get the most out of your peel, follow these guidelines:

• Sunscreen daily (SPF is non-negotiable, even in fall and winter).

• Moisturize with gentle, hydrating products.

• Avoid picking or peeling—let your skin shed naturally.

• Follow your esthetician’s instructions for home care.

Farewell & Gratitude: Olivia Clark

At DERMASPACE, our team members are the heart of everything we do, and saying goodbye is never easy. Today, we want to take a moment to recognize and honor Olivia Clark for her dedication, warmth, and professionalism over the past several years.

Olivia had originally planned to stay with us through September, but due to an unexpected medical situation, she has had to step away from her work earlier than anticipated. We are grateful to share that she is okay and focusing on her recovery, though she will be missed dearly by our clients and team alike.

During her time at DERMASPACE, Olivia brought skill, compassion, and kindness into every treatment room. Her clients often spoke of not only the improvements they saw in their skin, but also how cared for and supported they felt in her presence. That gift of connection is something truly special, and we know many of you will miss seeing her as much as we will.

While transitions like these are never easy, we are committed to making sure you continue to feel supported in your skincare journey. Our estheticians—Jody, Trevor, Mia, and Madeline—are here to provide the same level of care and expertise you’ve come to expect at DERMASPACE.

We invite you to join us in wishing Olivia the very best as she takes time to heal and move forward. She will always be part of the DERMASPACE family, and we are deeply grateful for the time she shared with us.

Functional Iderm Facial: Deep Ionization Treatment for Healthy Skin

At DERMASPACE, we’re known for delivering serious skincare without fluff—and one of our most powerful treatments, the Iderm Deep Ionization Facial, continues to turn heads for all the right reasons.

When I started DERMASPACE back in 2009, I wasn’t focused on pampering—I was focused on changing skin. I believed that if someone committed to four facials spaced 2–4 weeks apart, it could truly transform their skin—and turn them into a long-term client. So I made it easy: I offered four Iderm Facials for $200. And it worked. Many of those original clients are still with me today, coming in every two to four weeks. Their skin tells the story.

Recently, a longtime client of mine called the Iderm Facial a “functional facial”—and I was surprised I’d never thought of that term before. I’ve often described it as the “skin gym facial” or “physical therapy for your skin” because it delivers real results—not just relaxation. But “functional facial” captures it perfectly. It’s not about how your skin looks immediately after a treatment. It’s about how it functions long term.

So…What Is a “Functional Facial”?

Just like functional fitness strengthens your body to perform better in everyday life, a functional facial supports your skin’s ability to function at its best. At DERMASPACE, we don’t just chase temporary glow—we treat the skin like the living, working organ it is.

That means we go beyond surface-level care. The Iderm Deep Ionization Facial works to:

• Deep-cleanse the skin

• Remove impacted congestion through thorough extractions

• Support skin barrier repair

• Stimulate circulation and cellular turnover

• Infuse skin with ionized nutrients using patented electrotherapy

This is about real correction, long-term improvement, and setting the stage for healthier skin from the inside out.

Not Just a Facial—A Treatment

Unlike a typical spa facial, the Iderm Deep Ionization Facial is a professional-grade treatment. It uses low-level galvanic current to push therapeutic water-based solutions—rich in vitamins and minerals—deep into the skin. Think of it as delivering an injection of nutrients into the tissue…without the needle.

Each treatment also incorporates time-tested modalities like oxygenation, high-frequency, and customized extractions, helping the skin:

• Heal faster

• Clear stubborn congestion

• Calm inflammation

• Improve circulation

• Boost skin vitality at a cellular level

Over time, regular treatments can actually shift the skin’s chemistry, helping it function more efficiently and look healthier between visits.

Why Clients Keep Coming Back

Clients often describe the Iderm Facial as a “reset button” for their skin. Many say it’s the first facial they’ve had that actually made a lasting difference. And it's no wonder—they’re not just receiving skincare; they’re receiving functional care.

So how often should you get one? The Iderm Facial is gentle enough for weekly treatments. Some of my clients have come every two weeks for over 16 years. For most people, every 2–4 weeks is ideal. Waiting more than 6 weeks between treatments? That’s like starting over.

We also offer enhancements like LED Therapy by Celluma, Microdermabrasion, Chemical Peels and Dermaplaning to name a few!

This is real skincare.
No fluff. Just results.

Chemical Peels & Mature Skin: What You Need to Know

What Is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is a controlled exfoliation treatment that removes damaged outer layers of skin. It stimulates cell turnover and collagen production—key elements in keeping skin healthy and firm. Peels can be customized for everything from light brightening to deeper corrective work, depending on your goals and the condition of your skin.

Why Peels Are Especially Effective for Mature Skin

Softens Lines and Wrinkles
Peels encourage collagen renewal and help resurface the skin, softening the appearance of fine lines over time.

Fades Dark Spots and Sun Damage
Pigmentation from sun exposure, hormonal shifts, or age can make the skin look uneven. Peels gently break up these spots, helping restore a more even tone.

Firms and Strengthens Skin
Medium to advanced peels activate collagen and elastin production, improving skin texture and reducing signs of sagging.

Refines Rough Texture and Enlarged Pores
By clearing out dead skin and congestion, peels improve texture and reduce the appearance of pores for a smoother finish.

Boosts the Power of Your Skincare
Freshly exfoliated skin absorbs serums and moisturizers more efficiently, making your entire skincare routine more effective.

Choosing the Right Peel at DERMASPACE

At DERMASPACE, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all treatments. That’s why we offer a curated selection of professional-grade peels to meet the unique needs of most skin types and concerns:

• GlySalLac 32% Peel (Our lightest peel that can be done in conjunction with most of our facial trreatments.
  A triple-acid blend (glycolic, salicylic, and lactic acids) that refines skin texture, improves clarity, and smooths the surface. Great for dullness, mild pigmentation, and early signs of aging.

• PCA Skin Professional Peels (multiple formulations)
  Gentle yet effective options that treat fine lines, uneven tone, and textural issues. These layered peels are customized for your skin type and concerns—perfect for ongoing skin maintenance with minimal downtime.

• PCA 4% Pure Retinol Peel
  This intensive peel promotes collagen renewal and targets more advanced signs of aging like deeper wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. It’s a favorite for achieving visible results in texture and tone. Great for hyperpigmentation too.

• BioRePeel
  A minimal-downtime bi-phasic TCA peel that revitalizes skin from the inside out. BioRePeel exfoliates while hydrating, firming, and stimulating collagen—making it ideal for more advanced aging concerns, sun damage, and dull or thinning skin.

Designed for Real Life

We focus on progressive results, not aggressive treatments. Whether you're looking for subtle refinement or deeper correction, our expert team will guide you to the right peel for your skin, lifestyle, and goals.

Spring Skincare Refresh: How DERMASPACE Can Help You Glow Into the New Season

As the days get longer and the air gets warmer, your skin is ready for a seasonal shift. Spring is the perfect time to refresh your skincare routine—and DERMASPACE is here to help you transition out of winter with targeted treatments and expert guidance.

Why Spring Skincare Matters

After months of cold weather, indoor heating, and dry air, your skin may be feeling dull, dehydrated, or congested. As humidity levels rise and we spend more time outdoors, your skincare needs change. Think lighter textures, increased exfoliation, and a renewed focus on sun protection.

At DERMASPACE, we specialize in results-driven facial treatments designed to reset and restore your skin for the new season.

Common Spring Skin Concerns

Here are a few concerns we see most often this time of year:

• Dull, uneven skin tone from winter buildup

• Dehydration and rough texture

• Clogged pores from heavier products or dry skin flakes

• Breakouts as your skin rebalances

• Sun sensitivity as you reintroduce outdoor activities

How DERMASPACE Can Help

Our signature facials and advanced exfoliation treatments are tailored to support your skin's natural renewal process. Here’s what we recommend this season:

• The Iderm Facial (Deep Ionization Treatment)

  • Our most popular treatment, The Iderm Facial deeply cleanses, oxygenates, and nourishes the skin. This springtime reboot helps reduce congestion, brighten skin tone, and restore hydration.

• Gentle Chemical Peels (PCA, BioRePeel, and Retinol Peels)

  • Spring is a great time for a light peel like our GlySalLac 32% peel or our more advanced peels to slough away dead winter skin and reveal a healthier glow. Our estheticians will choose the right peel based on your goals and skin type.

• Dermaplaning and Microdermabrasion

  • These mechanical exfoliation options instantly smooth the skin and improve product penetration, giving you that radiant, glassy-skin finish.

• Switch to a lighter moisturizer—opt for gel-based or water-based formulas.

• Exfoliate regularly—but not excessively. 2–3 times a week is usually enough.

• Hydrate from within—drink water throughout the day.

• Wear SPF daily—yes, even when it’s cloudy.

• Book your monthly maintenance facial—think of it as spring cleaning for your skin!
