About

Dermacare is a physician-led med spa that today runs five locations. Its first clinic opened in Rancho Bernardo in 2006, and the Carlsbad clinic followed in 2008. Dr. Jeff Birchall founded the practice after 16 years in family medicine with PennElm Medical Group, now part of Scripps Clinic Medical Group. According to the business, it was the first clinic in San Diego to earn Black Diamond status with Fraxel.

Each patient receives a customized, comprehensive plan built on what the business calls a total beauty approach. The aim is to enhance features a person already has with a natural, conservative result rather than a different look. Many clients are advised to combine treatments over several months.

Most procedures are nonsurgical with little downtime. The site's disclaimer notes that individual results may vary.

Financing options are also offered. Registered nurses who assist with laser treatments are certified on Dermacare lasers, according to the business, and estheticians receive ongoing training in Dermacare and other skincare products.
