What sets me apart

My commitment:

My commitment:

At Strong Esthetics, every facial is a customized treatment, not a cookie cutter protocol. I take the time to assess your skin's unique needs at every visit, adjusting techniques, products, and methods to create real, lasting change. Your treatment plan is tailored to meet your goals, not just for today, but for the long haul! Great skin isn't just a one-time event, it's a strategy!

CORRECTIVE FACIALS:

CORRECTIVE FACIALS:

For clients focused on aging, discoloration, textural concerns, reactivity, or simply maintaining a healthy glow, I design each treatment around your skin's unique needs. By combining targeted techniques with a custom tailored at-home skincare regimen, we can repair damage or address concerns before they become problems. Your skin is one of a kind, and your facial treatments should be too!

ACNE MANAGEMENT:

ACNE MANAGEMENT:

Acne Bootcamp is designed to break the cycle of breakouts through targeted, intensive treatments, expert coaching, and a customized homecare routine. However, clearing your skin of acne is just the beginning. Keeping your skin clear is the true victory! Acne is a chronic condition, meaning it cannot be cured, it can only be managed. With the right strategy it can absolutely be controlled long term and even permanently!

REVIEWS

Real stories. Real skin. Real Results. Every review is a reminder of why I do what I do, changing skin and changing lives, one face at a time.
Dana has transformed my skin! She truly is a wealth of knowledge. I trust everything she recommends and have appreciated her honesty. She’s helped me in so many ways that aren’t only skincare related. Dana you are a gem of a person and I’m forever grateful for you! I never thought I would see the day I can go make free and feel confident. If you are reading this and are on the fence about investing in yourself, take the leap! You won’t regret it!
Melissa L.
I can not recommend Strong Esthetics enough! I went in for help with my facial melasma, and my skin has improved so much that people comment on how good it looks. Dana is knowledgeable about what treatments will be good for your particular situation, and what to avoid. The products I have purchased on site have dramatically improved the condition of my facial discoloration and the overall condition of my skin.
Cheryl K.
I spent YEARS trying to get my acne under control. I tried different medications and wasted my money on a ton of different products and nothing helped. I came across FaceReality and decided to find a provider in my area and that’s when I found Strong Esthetics; best investment I have ever made for myself. I went through Acne Bootcamp and now go for monthly maintenance facials and my skin has never looked better!

FAQ's

How do I know which facial to book?

Your first facial with Strong Esthetics will be either The Acne Bootcamp Assessment (if your main concern is acne) or The Strong Start Facial (if acne is not a concern). It's as easy as that! I'll take the reins from there and guide you every step of the way. 

Once you've scheduled your first service, you'll be sent a specific online intake form to fill out. At your first visit, we'll go over your answers and address any questions or concerns. Be sure to fill the intake form out thoughtfully and completely to ensure the best experience. 

If at all possible, arriving makeup-free will ensure the most time devoted to your specific treatment. But if you're arriving straight from work or other social event with makeup on - no worries! Makeup removal will be included in your treatment. 

If you are feeling unusually sensitive or your skin becomes compromised before your session, please text me at (708) 314-1699, and send photos if possible. It may be necessary to reschedule your session. 

If you have an active cold sore, stye, or any other type of active skin infection, your treatment will need to be rescheduled.
