Skincare Road Map

What is the best way to get radiant, youthful skin that looks healthy and fresh year-round? Follow our skincare road map—a skincare plan developed at our Ankeny dermatology clinic and spa serving Des Moines, IA.

Complete with an in-depth analysis and a recommended treatment schedule, it’ll get you on track for stunning skin that never loses its glow.

Your VISIA Skin Analysis

We’ll start with a VISIA skin analysis, which uses cross-polarized light to photograph skin concerns we can’t always see with the naked eye. These include:

  • Dark spots
  • Wrinkles
  • Texture
  • Pores
  • Sun damage
  • Red areas

It will also give you a “skin age,” depending on how your concerns compare to different age groups. Based on that info, it can even predict which signs of aging you’re most likely to face in the future.

We use the results of your analysis to create a customized skincare plan aimed at addressing your specific concerns. Over time, we’ll perform follow-up scans so you can see for yourself the difference your routine has made in your skin.

While everyone’s skin is unique and requires an individual treatment plan, following this road map is an excellent way to make sure you look your best all year.

Daily

Products from SkinMedica®, ZO® Skin Health, and more will give your skin a healthy glow now and protect it from damage in the future.

FDA-approved treatment to grow fuller longer lashes.

Fight tired eyes with Upneeq, the only eyedrop medication approved for the treatment of droopy eyes.

Monthly

The gentle and refreshing HydraFacial only takes 30 minutes and leaves your skin cleansed, exfoliated, cleared, and infused with powerful serums.

Keep your skin looking refreshed, smooth, and glowing with DiamondGlow facials every 4 to 6 weeks. You can combine these treatments with a home skincare regimen that includes specialized serums.  

Regular dermaplaning treatments will keep facial peach fuzz at bay and prevent the buildup of dead skin cells and debris.

Facials

Treat a variety of concerns with light, physical, and chemical facials.

Lashes

Lash lifts and tints give a natural appearance of lifted and curled lashes.

ClearSilk

Gentle laser treatment revitalizes skin, treating redness, rosacea, acne, fine lines, wrinkles, appearance of large pores, uneven scar reduction and scars, leaving skin glowing.

ClearV

The gold standard for removing vascular lesions on the face and body over time.

Quarterly

We recommend BOTOX treatments every 3 months or so, as that’s how long it typically takes the wrinkle-reducing injectable to wear off.

Forever Young BBL uses broadband light to visibly reverse signs of aging, including fine lines, uneven pigmentation, vascular lesions, and more.

INTRAcel

Replenish this lost collagen and rejuvenate your skin to reverse the signs of aging with non-invasive electrodes.

Trigger the bodies regenerative process to produce new collagen and elastin for heathy youthful skin.

Peel away damage, pigmentation, dead skin cells, and more with esthetician-administered chemical peels.

Skincare Recheck

Visit Revive quarterly to re-evaluate progress and any new concerns to ensure your road map continues to meet your goals.

Yearly

The ultimate anti-aging laser at Revive, HALO boosts ongoing collagen production for smoother, younger-looking skin.

Cosmetic Fillers

Other dermal fillers last a bit longer, so you can go about a year before needing a little more volume injected.

Visia

We utilize VISIA® a skin analysis system to document progress over time with high quality digital imagery.

Annual Skin Exam

Annual skin exams allow our dermatologists to examine your skin, identify new concerns, evaluate changes, and show progress over the year.

I had an appointment with Dr. Stef for a dermatology check and biopsy. Great office staff, super sweet nurse, and a terrific doctor who not only took her time to explain everything before, during, and after the biopsy appointment, but followed up when she said she would. She even spent about 15 minutes on the phone with me to explain the results to make sure I completely understand everything. Wish I could give more than 5 stars. I will definitely return to Revive and recommend Dr. Stef to all my friends. Best office ever!!!!!!!

I really like this place. They don’t just try to sell you things. I received a Hydrafacial from Amber and she is Amazing! This place is lucky to have her. I will continue to go back.

Stef Gatica and team are the best in the metro. From cosmetic procedures to more medical issues like acne, rashes, mole removals, painful dry skin, etc... her team has treated my entire family over the years and I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else. Never satisfied with subpar results, they will continue to encourage and adjust treatment plans until the issue has resolved.

Stef Gatica and her staff at Revive are Incredible! From the very first visit, they make you feel so welcome and every other visit after is like catching up with your friends. From medical grade skincare, diamond glow facials, Botox, and Sculptra over a number of years - Stef and her team have done wonders for my skin. They are all extremely knowledgeable in their areas of expertise and can answer any questions you have. Stef and her staff are very honest about what will and will not work for a client, whether you are inquiring about skincare, filler, etc. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Revive Spa!
