WHAT’S DIFFERENT ABOUT THE IDERM FACIAL TREATMENT?
The Iderm Facial Treatment is for clients serious about elevating their skincare. It focuses on removing impurities, extracting blemish-causing bacteria, and infusing vitamins and minerals into the skin.
This isn’t a typical spa facial focused on pampering—it's more like physical therapy for your skin, delivering real, lasting results.
If electrotherapy isn’t for you, we offer alternative treatments to suit your needs!
IT’S MY FIRST TIME…WHAT FACIAL SHOULD I PICK?
We recommend starting with our signature Iderm Treatment, a time-tested, results-driven facial that forms the foundation of our services.
During your appointment, you can discuss your concerns with your esthetician and customize the treatment as needed. Be sure to mention any specific concerns at the start of your session.
Most treatments take about 60 minutes, but with LED therapy, expect around 80-90 minutes.
If electrotherapy isn’t for you, we also offer the Oxygen Infusion Facial, perfect for all skin types, especially aging, dry, or dehydrated skin—a great option for event-ready results.

A BRIEF HISTORY
The Iderm Facial treatment was invented in 1937 by German scientist and chemist Dr. Paul Meminger. Using his expertise in medicine and science, Dr. Meminger created a revolutionary system to treat problem skin. The key feature of his technology was the use of galvanic (electrical) currents to infuse vitamin-rich solutions into the skin.
He discovered that this combination of electrical current and vitamins cleansed, hydrated, and rejuvenated the skin, leading to dramatic improvements. This method became the Iderm® Deep Skin Ionization Process, now known in the medical field as iontophoresis, a widely used technique in modern skincare.
WHAT RESULTS CAN YOU EXPECT?
The Iderm Treatment is the ultimate skin detox. Right after your first session, you'll notice how clean your skin feels, free from dirt, oil, and dead skin cells. This leaves your skin brighter, softer, and more hydrated, with a youthful glow. For rosacea, the galvanic current calms inflammation and reduces redness, while for acne, it unclogs pores, making it easier to remove excess oil.
With regular treatments, fine lines diminish, skin tone evens out, and your complexion becomes clearer. Jody, owner of Dermaspace, recommends bimonthly or monthly sessions for healthy, radiant skin. For more troubled skin, starting with weekly treatments for the first month is ideal. Your maintenance plan will be customized after your initial skin analysis.
As Jody says, "The more you go, the better the results, which is why DERMASPACE is often called The Skin Gym."
Even a few treatments a year can be beneficial, but consistency is key for ongoing issues. Everyone is different, and while most see improvement after one session, regular treatments yield the best results.
Fun Fact: The Iderm® Treatment isn’t just for women. Celebrities such as Brad Pitt, Christian Slater, and funny man, Mike Myers, have all enjoyed the benefits of this amazing skincare process.
I HAVE ACNE…WILL THIS HELP?
We have had great success treating clients with Grades 1-3 acne. Of course everyone is different and it’s going to take a commitment on your part but the Iderm Treatment was designed to treat aging and problem skin such as acne, rosacea and inflammation which is also a leading cause of premature aging. Please see our ACNE page for more details.
WHAT IS GALVANIC CURRENT?
For decades, galvanic current has been applied medically to assist in healing of bone, muscle, ligament and various tissues. Most noted in the early history of electric medical experimentation is Luigi Galvani, who in 1791 was the first person to use electric current. The “Galvanic Current,” often used today in cosmetology to drive skin treatments deeper into the skin, is named after him.
Fun Fact: The crater Galvani on the Moon is named after him.
IS THE IDERM® TREATMENT SAFE?
The Iderm® treatment process uses a very low intensity current, a milliamper (1/1000th of an ampere) which is both safe and effective for application to the skin.
DO YOU OFFER CONSULTATIONS?
Generally speaking….No. We believe that the proper way to assess what is best for your skin is to get you on the table, face properly cleansed and perform either the Iderm Facial or it’s simplified cousin, The Express Facial aka “The Wrap & Zap”. This will allow us to answer any questions you may have and explain what we are able to do for you within an appropriate timeframe.
That said, we are always happy to speak with potential clients over the phone or in person schedule permitting. The best way to achieve this would be to call our office and we will do our best to accommodate you.
DO YOU ACCEPT HEALTH INSURANCE?
Since we are not a medical facility or have a medical director, we do not accept insurance.
DO YOU DO THE FACIAL ON TEENAGERS?
DERMASPACE does not perform facials on anyone under the age of 15. Clients aged 15 to 17 must have a parent or legal guardian present during their appointment. If a parent or legal guardian cannot be present, we are unable to provide the service.
If a minor arrives unaccompanied, the appointment will be denied, and services will be rescheduled once they can meet the above requirements.
I HAVE BOTOX AND DERMAL FILLER, CAN I STILL GET THE TREATMENT?
Yes, but you need to wait a minimum of 1 week after getting Botox and 2 weeks after getting Dermal Filler (3 weeks if you get it on your chin)!
I’M GETTING A PCA ADVANCED TREATMENT CHEMICAL PEEL….WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW?
NO retinol or any exfoliation 5-7 days before your appointment. You MUST read THIS PAGE thoroughly before booking a PCA Advanced Chemical Peel appointment. Please contact us with any questions.
CAN I WORKOUT OR RETURN TO WORK AFTERWARDS?
We ask that clients try not to workout the same day after the treatment. We infuse the skin with healthy vitamins and minerals so we don’t want you sweating those out. Some clients are a bit red after the treatment but that is usually gone with 20 minutes or so. It’s also normal for dead skin to flake off around the chin and nose after your first few treatments, don’t be alarmed by this, just apply extra moisturizer, don’t pick and always wear your SPF.
IS THE TREATMENT RIGHT FOR YOU?
Conditions that might preclude you from having the Iderm® Treatment are:
Accutane (Isotretinoin): If you are currently taking Accutane for acne we will be unable to work on you until you have been off the medication for 3 months.
Pregnancy (Please let us know if you are expecting. We perform a gentle version of the facial on expectant mothers that does not include the electrical component).
NO Pacemakers, mechanical devices/implants
Overly sensitive skin or reactions to new products and/or procedures
Serious Bruising, swelling, acute inflammation
Currently being treated for Cancer (unless your doctor has given you the okay)
Epilepsy (if not on medication)
Tumors or unrecognized lumps (you should consult with your doctor if you haven't already)
Neuritis/neuralgia
Hemophilia (this isn't usually an issue but please let us know)
Large metal plates or pins in or around head and face (generally this isn't an issue but do let us know)
MISSION STATEMENT
Jody Leon founded DERMASPACE on the Buddhist principles of Mettā or Maitrī which means cultivating unconditional loving-kindness, friendliness, amity, goodwill, and active interest in yourself. We understand how hard it can be to deal with skin issues that can affect one’s own self-esteem and well being and believe that self-care and unconditional kindness to oneself is an essential first step in cultivating compassion for others.
It all starts with you.
