About

The practice grew out of Dr. Valerie Schneider's private medical practice in Walnut Creek, which has operated since 2002. Its aesthetic services are offered at the Walnut Creek medical office, with Gretchen Ranhoff, RN, also on the team.

The business describes its services as non-invasive, and says its staff use the medical-grade products on their own skin. Treatment choices are settled at a consultation, which is offered free, and clients who want a full skincare plan can receive one customized after that visit.

Dermal fillers include several Juvederm formulas for the midface, lips, jawline and chin, along with RHA Collection and Skinvive. Filler is priced by vial count, with package discounts for larger appointments, and details are given by phone. Kybella is offered for fullness under the chin.

Other treatments include Rejuvapen growth factor microneedling, TCA chemical peels, Lamprobe treatment for unwanted skin lesions, pigment and age spot care using laser or topical options, and laser hair removal on the body using a Cynosure Elite MPX system. Light options include faceLITE red light sessions of roughly 10 to 20 minutes and a wearable LED mask with 128 lights that can be booked alone or as part of a plan.

Consultations can be booked by phone or online. Skincare can be bought in the office or shipped after calling. Financing is offered through Cherry, a third-party lender, with approval and APR depending on credit and eligibility. Office hours are subject to change and are updated weekly on the office voicemail.

The practice focuses on non-invasive treatments, using medical-grade products that staff say they use themselves, and plans treatments around a consultation.
