Skin Vitality & Radiance

Skin vitality and radiance treatments focus on improving overall skin quality by correcting pigmentation concerns, refining texture, and restoring deep hydration. Environmental exposure, sun damage, aging, and hormonal changes can contribute to dullness, uneven tone, and rough skin texture. Through targeted treatments that improve clarity, brightness, and hydration, patients can enhance their skin’s radiance.

Pigment & Tone Correction

Uneven pigmentation can develop due to sun exposure, inflammation, hormonal changes, and natural aging. Treatments designed for pigment and tone correction help reduce discoloration, dark spots, and uneven skin tone while restoring a more balanced complexion. By targeting excess pigment and repairing sun-related damage, these treatments help improve overall skin clarity and brightness.

Hyperpigmentation Treatment

Hyperpigmentation treatments are designed to address dark spots and discoloration caused by sun exposure, acne, or inflammation. These treatments work by targeting excess melanin in the skin to fade areas of pigmentation while gradually improving overall skin tone.

Melasma Treatment

Melasma is a complex pigmentation condition often triggered by hormonal changes and sun exposure. Treatment focuses on managing pigment production while protecting the skin from further discoloration. Through targeted therapies and customized skincare strategies, melasma treatments help improve uneven pigmentation and support a more consistent skin tone.

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments use controlled pulses of light energy to target pigment irregularities and visible redness in the skin. Light energy breaks down excess pigment while stimulating collagen production, improving skin clarity and overall tone. IPL is used to address sunspots, redness, and uneven pigmentation caused by environmental damage.

Light & Bright™

Light & Bright™ treatments combine gentle resurfacing with advanced light-based technology to refresh the skin and improve radiance. This treatment helps reduce pigmentation irregularities, brighten dull skin, and improve overall complexion.

Reviews

“I had a recent visit to Dr Damstetter’s clinic and would like to share my experience. I am a Navy vet(corpsman) and usually get seen at the VA but since we don’t have a Derm provider right now, I was fortunately sent out to her clinic to be evaluated. It’s a nice clinic in a nice area and was relatively easy to find. A pleasant Ms. Nancy at the front desk was helpful in completing the check-in process. Easy day. I did not have to wait long and was soon met by Dr. Damstetter’s assistant, who for classified reasons I will refer to as “Agent 8”. I am sure if she gets tired of providing excellent medical care, her slick-ninja skillset could get her a job with the CIA or MI6 maybe. Short story long, Agent 8 brought me back to the patient area, where I was introduced to Dr Damstetter, who was all the things you would want in a doctor: a knowledgeable provider with a great bedside manner. She gave me a thorough exam which did end up showing that I needed a minor procedure. No worries. I felt well taken care of throughout my visit. No one likes to have to see the doctor, but if you have a dermatological concern, this is a good place with good people who did great by me, and I am thankful to have been sent here.”

“Dr. Liz is truly the best dermatologist I’ve ever been to. She is attentive, kind, and genuinely cares about her patients and their overall skin health. I can not recommend her enough!!!”

“Wonderful experience here! The doctor took the time to educate me on a variety of cosmetic options and gave her candid opinion resulting in just the right amount of cosmetic adjustments! Her staff was delightful and attentive! I would highly recommend for general derm needs and cosmetic adjustments.”

“Dr. Damstetter was the first dermatologist I trusted to do my Botox. She is both knowledgeable and professional and did a fantastic job. I will be using her for any and all of my future needs.”

Texture Refinement

Skin texture can become uneven due to aging, sun damage, acne scarring, or slowed skin cell turnover. Texture-refining treatments help stimulate collagen production and promote cellular renewal, which improves skin smoothness and overall skin quality. By addressing roughness, enlarged pores, and uneven surface texture, these treatments help restore a softer and more refined complexion.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels work by gently exfoliating the outer layers of the skin to remove damaged surface cells. This process advances the growth of healthier new skin cells, which can improve skin tone, texture, and brightness. Chemical peels can also help address fine lines, sun damage, and mild discoloration while promoting smoother skin.

Microneedling

Microneedling stimulates the skin’s natural healing response by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. This process triggers collagen and elastin production, which helps improve skin texture, firmness, and overall quality. Microneedling is commonly used to reduce the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, and uneven skin texture.

Alma Hybrid Laser

The Alma Hybrid Laser combines ablative and non-ablative laser technology to improve the skin’s surface and deeper layers. By resurfacing damaged skin while stimulating collagen production, this treatment helps improve skin tone, texture, and firmness.

Deep Hydration & Skin Quality

Maintaining proper hydration within the skin is essential for achieving radiant skin. Deep hydration treatments improve skin smoothness, elasticity, and overall skin quality by supporting moisture retention within the skin’s layers. These treatments help restore glow while strengthening the skin’s barrier function.

Skinvive

Skinvive is an injectable skin hydration treatment designed to improve overall skin quality and smoothness. Unlike traditional fillers that add volume, Skinvive increases skin hydration to enhance texture, softness, and luminosity. By improving moisture levels beneath the surface, Skinvive helps create healthier-looking skin with a natural glow.
