Anne Therese Aesthetic Medicine Operates Physician-Supervised Facial Services in Ohio and Florida
Cape Coral, United States - August 29, 2026 / Anne Therese Aesthetic Medicine /
LEWIS CENTER, OH - Patients preparing for a wedding, red-carpet event, or holiday gathering often seek visible skin improvement without a recovery period. Anne Therese Aesthetic Medicine, a physician-supervised practice with locations in Lewis Center, Gahanna, Cape Coral, and Bonita Springs, addresses this need through a category of customized medical facials that share a common mechanism: removing the outermost barrier to product absorption, then delivering targeted ingredients into the skin within the same session.
The visible results from these treatments stem from combining exfoliation with ingredient delivery. Exfoliation removes dead cells, debris, and in some cases fine vellus hair that block topical products from reaching living skin. Once that barrier is thinned, serums, hyaluronic acid, and other active ingredients penetrate more effectively than they would on unprepared skin. The outcome is a more pronounced, immediate change in skin appearance than either exfoliation or product application produces independently.
DiamondGlow and Hydrafacial: Vacuum-Based Exfoliation and Infusion
DiamondGlow and Hydrafacial use vacuum suction paired with serum infusion to exfoliate and hydrate in a single step. Both devices combine a spiral-tip or diamond-tip applicator with vacuum suction: the tip mechanically exfoliates and extracts impurities while simultaneously drawing serums - including antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid - into the freshly exposed skin.
Because extraction and infusion occur in the same motion, patients see a hydrated, refreshed complexion immediately after treatment rather than following a multi-day recovery period.
These treatments are performed by the practice's licensed estheticians, who select serum concentrations and treatment intensity based on each patient's skin type and event timeline.
Aquagold: Micro-Channel Delivery of Targeted Actives
Aquagold uses a micro-channeling device to deliver a customized blend of ingredients - including hyaluronic acid, skin-nourishing actives, and, when appropriate, a micro-dose of Botox - directly into the skin's surface layers.
The fine-gauge micro-channels create temporary, controlled entry points for the infused blend, bypassing the absorption barrier that limits how much of a topical product reaches living tissue.
Because Aquagold's infusion can include Botox, the treatment is performed by a licensed medical professional, consistent with the practice's standard for injectable-adjacent procedures. The ingredient blend is individualized to each patient's skin concerns and goals rather than applied as a single standard formula.
Dermaplane: Exfoliation That Increases Permeability
Dermaplane uses a sterile surgical blade to remove vellus hair and the outermost layer of the stratum corneum in a single pass, immediately increasing the skin's permeability to topical ingredients.
A 2023 study published in AAPS PharmSciTech (Tijani et al.) measured a significant drop in skin electrical resistance following dermaplaning, consistent with a depleted stratum corneum barrier, for both hydrophilic and lipophilic model compounds. This is the same mechanism that makes dermaplaning a common pairing with serum application or another infusion-based facial: the skin absorbs more of what is applied to it immediately afterward.
Dermaplane is performed by the practice's licensed estheticians. Visible redness or sensitivity from the blade pass typically resolves within a few hours, though the skin's barrier and UV sensitivity take longer - commonly 48 to 72 hours - to fully normalize.
Planning Combined Treatments Around an Event Date
Patients combining these treatments before a wedding or major event should plan the appointment with the event date in mind. Surface redness fades within hours, but the same barrier-sensitivity window still applies. Scheduling a combined-treatment appointment a few days ahead of an event, rather than the same day or the day before, gives the skin time to move past that window while still reflecting the hydration and radiance benefits of the infused ingredients.
Providers at the practice set the timeline based on the patient's skin type, event date, and which treatments are being combined, rather than applying a single schedule to every patient.
Patients interested in a combined-treatment consultation are encouraged to schedule an appointment at the Lewis Center, Gahanna, Cape Coral, or Bonita Springs location.
