SkinFactor Aesthetics was founded by co-founders Heather Padgett and Kelly O'Carroll, who became friends in 2003 before both became licensed estheticians. The practice describes its focus as advanced skin rejuvenation, and its approach as comprehensive, covering both skin health and body confidence.
The team works with a Medical Director and two Nurse Practitioners. Injectables and medical weight management are provided through a partnership with BelAreva Aesthetics, led by Jarna Patel, MD. The practice is limited to elective aesthetic medicine and does not bill insurance.
Peels range from gentle, light-depth options to medium-depth treatments, and include SkinCeuticals peels and several VI Peel strengths aimed at acne, pigmentation and fine lines. CoolPeel, a non-surgical CO2 treatment, is done in a session of under 45 minutes, and the business says it is usually given as a series of three to four treatments about a month apart. Laser work is done on a Motus AZ+ platform with Moveo handpieces, which use a cooled sapphire tip, and CO2 treatments use a DEKA Smartxide Tetra device. The business describes its equipment as state-of-the-art and says staff are trained and certified on the DEKA and Motus devices.
Medical weight management uses semaglutide and tirzepatide, which are the same active ingredients found in Wegovy, Ozempic, Mounjaro and Zepbound. Monthly prices start at $270 for the lower semaglutide doses, $400 for the higher semaglutide doses, $399 for tirzepatide 2.5mg, $499 for tirzepatide 5mg and $550 for the higher tirzepatide doses, according to the site. These follow a separate medical consultation process.
First-time patients complete a virtual new patient consultation before services. Clients should arrive 10 minutes early. Laser clients need the treatment area free of hair, sweat, lotions and perfumes, and peel and microneedling clients should arrive with face and neck freshly washed and free of makeup. A 48-hour cancellation notice is required, and late cancellations or missed appointments carry a $50 fee. Services are not given to anyone under 16, and clients aged 16 to 18 need a consenting parent or guardian present. Accepted payments are cash, major credit cards, and SkinFactor gift cards; checks are not accepted, and gratuities are not expected. Hours are by appointment, Monday to Friday 9am to 7pm and Saturday 9am to 5pm, with Sunday closed.
Medically based, results-focused care that recommends only treatments and products the team judges medically appropriate for each client, with risks and benefits explained.
