Skin Deep Health

Skin Deep Health has three Illinois locations: Lake Zurich at 571 N Rand Road, Elgin at 2490 Bushwood Drive, Suite A, inside Elle Salon, and Geneva at 1 W State Street, Suite 101, inside Lauren Christine Hair Artistry and Spa. The business describes its mission as becoming a trusted place for skincare, beauty, health and wellness in its community. The phone number is (224) 415-2044.

Dermatology care is provided with a nurse practitioner for skin, hair and nail conditions, including acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, rashes and infections. Visits include skin exams, skin cancer screenings and preventive education, and minor procedures include skin biopsies, excision of growths, cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen, electrocautery and drainage of cysts or abscesses. For advanced care, the business refers patients to dermatologists and plastic surgeons outside its locations. Direct pay dermatology is an option for people who do not want to use insurance: patients receive a superbill they can submit for possible reimbursement, visits and procedures can count toward a deductible or out-of-pocket maximum, and medications are sent to the patient's preferred pharmacy or the lowest-cost option. The business says its direct pay pricing is lower because of reduced overhead and no inflated insurer pricing.

Skin treatments include DiamondGlow, a noninvasive session that exfoliates, extracts and infuses serums, SkinMedica chemical peels, and microneedling, which can be combined with PRP or topical serums. The laser menu includes CO2 laser resurfacing, Laser Genesis, intense pulse light, laser hair removal, vascular reduction laser and Artemis Tshape2 radiofrequency skin tightening. Post-surgical lymphatic massage combines radiofrequency, infrared light and vacuum-assisted massage, is used after procedures such as liposuction, tummy tucks and facelifts, and sessions last about 30 minutes.

Hair restoration starts with a medical dermatology evaluation that includes a full hair and scalp exam and lab testing when indicated. Treatment may include topical and oral minoxidil, oral finasteride when appropriate, combination medical therapies, medical microneedling of the scalp and ongoing monitoring. Hormone wellness plans are provided with a nurse practitioner and may include bioidentical hormone replacement as pellets, creams or injections, along with lab testing, nutritional support and lifestyle recommendations. Medical weight loss is also provided with a nurse practitioner and may include lab testing, nutrition and exercise guidance, and oral or injectable medications including GLP-1 therapy, with ongoing follow-up visits. Telehealth televisits with a nurse practitioner can address issues such as rashes, acne, eczema, minor infections, allergies and medication refills when appropriate.

Permanent makeup is offered at Top Face Beauty Studio, with Powder Brows, Nano Brows, Combination Brows and Microblading, several eyeliner styles, and lip blushing, lip neutralization and full lip color. Microblading is described as lasting about 12 to 24 months, with healing in 7 to 14 days and full color settling in 4 to 8 weeks. Payment plans are offered, and financing through Cherry includes 0% APR options subject to eligibility and interest-bearing plans with APRs as low as 5.99%, with no hard credit checks and approvals up to $10,000. Before and after care instructions are published for each service, and the online shop sells SkinMedica and Epicutis products.

The business describes its hair loss approach as addressing root causes rather than only masking symptoms, and its wider care is medically led through nurse practitioners and registered nurses.
