SKIN by Emely

Skin by Emely is a skincare studio at 1206 Millennium Parkway in Brandon, Florida, operated by Skin by Emely LLC and run by its owner, Emely. The studio serves clients from Brandon, Valrico and the surrounding Tampa Bay area. The studio describes itself as Brandon's premier destination for intentional luxury skincare and its treatments as science-backed; both are the studio's own descriptions.

Services are by appointment only. Clients can book online at any hour, or by phone or text. The studio is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, open Wednesday to Friday from 10:30 am to 8:00 pm, Saturday from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm, and Sunday from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. Clients are asked to give 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule.

Custom facials are the core of the menu. Each one is tailored to the client's skin and begins with a double cleanse and skin analysis, then moves through exfoliation, extractions, a custom mask and a neck and shoulder massage. Custom facials run from 30 minutes for $30 to 90 minutes for $140, with a 60-minute option at $100 that is listed as suited to first-time clients and a 75-minute option at $125. A separate new client custom facial is offered at $95 for one hour, with an optional dermaplane add-on for $30.

The studio also offers a teen facial designed for teen skin ($70, 40 minutes, no massage), an express dermaplane facial ($65, 30 minutes, with a double cleanse, dermaplaning and finishing products), and hydrodermabrasion oxygen facials. The hydrodermabrasion facial uses pressurized water-based exfoliation and vacuum technology with no crystals or diamond tip, and ends with an oxygen infusion. A first session is $100 and the version with infusion is $150; dermaplane is not included in the first session. Nano needling is a 90-minute, $170 treatment described as collagen-supporting, which includes a customized peel and dermaplaning when appropriate.

The studio sells Circadia professional-grade skincare, a line developed for licensed providers, in categories that include cleansers, protection, aging and repair, lip and eye, hydration, sensitive and rosacea, brightening, oil and acne, and body. The product range also includes travel kits priced from $62 to $70, serums, toners, moisturizers, eye creams, SPF 30 sunscreen and masks. Gift cards are sold online in $10, $20, $80, $100 or custom amounts.

Built around custom facials, with each treatment adjusted to the client's skin and a focus on science-backed methods, as the studio describes them.
