Skin Care Roadmap

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:

  • wrinkles
  • brown spots
  • redness
  • texture
  • pores/bacteria
  • lash health
  • UV damage

The analysis will provide you with your “true skin age” and compares the health of your skin with thousands of others the same age, with the same skin type.
