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.

Monthly

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

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

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.  

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.

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

Biannually

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

Dermal Fillers

Some dermal fillers begin to dissolve and lose their volume after about 6 months, so it’s best to touch up your results twice a year.

Annually

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

Dermal Fillers

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

Revive dermatology staff are professional, caring, and very sportive during the time I was with them. They listen to everything I ask. I came into Revive very nervous because I needed a couple of things removed on my face. The last time I had something done elsewhere, it did not heal correctly. I had an injection done where it was painful. They did it very gracefully, and I can say I did not feel much pain. I would like to say thank you again!! Everyone was truly amazing❤️

I’m so glad you came in and we were able to work on sensitive areas! Thanks so much! -Stef Gatica

Tawnya at Revive Dermatology Clinic and Spa is amazing! She is very knowledgeable and so informative on not only esthetics and facial skincare, but all over dermatology concerns. She takes the time to make sure you understand everything! She did a skin care analysis on me and cared enough to go through each individual section and allowed me time to ask questions. She had me wash my face and test all the products that she was recommending. I did not feel rushed, I felt very well taken care of and cared about! I just left and already can't wait for my 4 week follow up!

Dr. Stef & her staff are perfectionists (which is incredibly important in a provider!!), not only that, but they all truly care about their patients & want what is best for them! They will make you feel comfortable, beautiful & well taken care of from start to finish. I LOVE that Revive is big on educating their patients every step of the way as well.
