Abby Skin Clinic Concord

Abby Skin Clinic began in 2008 as a facial clinic in the San Francisco Bay Area. Its founder, Abby Odiamar-Paclibar, serves as founder and CEO and is a licensed esthetician. She holds BSPT, BSN and RN credentials, earned an MBA from CalSouthern University, and holds a Harvard certification in health and wellness. Her earlier work includes wound care across more than 40 Bay Area facilities, and she finished at the top of her class at an esthetics school. She has also completed training with medical experts internationally. The business describes itself as bringing more than 18 years of clinical care to the beauty field and says it has looked after more than 5,000 clients.

Operating under a single name, the business has two arms: Abby Skin Care, which offers facials, peels and a body treatment, and FFMS Medical Spa Inc., which handles medical aesthetic options including lasers, injectables, dermal fillers and skin tightening. Only appropriately licensed medical professionals perform procedures, working under the Medical Director. Locations span Union City and Concord in California, plus Las Vegas, Nevada, where the clinic is on S Eastern Ave. According to the business, its Chandigarh site is its first in India. Clients in Manila set up appointments through messaging.

A first visit starts with a consultation to learn about a client's skin and goals before any treatments are recommended. Treatment plans are tailored during that consultation, and each treatment is matched to the licensed professional who performs it. Visits are by appointment only, and clients can book online. Clinics are open Monday through Saturday, 10 AM to 6 PM, and closed Sundays. Before medical aesthetic treatments, the FFMS team talks through objectives, likely outcomes, benefits and risks.

Abby Skin Care products are formulated in the USA, Japan and South Korea and sold online, including sunscreen, cleansers, eye and neck kits and sets. Online orders of $75 or more ship free.

The business builds its treatments and products on evidence, keeps to safety and medical standards, and tailors each client's plan to their skin and goals.
