Skin Rejuvenation & Resurfacing

DiamondGlow®

DiamondGlow® is a non-invasive, 3-in-1 treatment that exfoliates, extracts impurities, and infuses the skin with medical-grade serums tailored to your needs. It’s ideal for dull, dehydrated, or acne-prone skin and works to instantly refresh your complexion while improving tone and texture over time. With no downtime, it’s perfect for those looking for a gentle, glowing boost—whether for a special event or routine skin maintenance.

Microdermabrasion

This classic resurfacing treatment gently removes dead skin cells using fine crystals or a diamond-tipped wand to smooth the outermost layer of skin. Microdermabrasion can help fade mild discoloration, soften rough texture, and reduce the appearance of fine lines or enlarged pores. It’s a great choice for anyone wanting brighter, more even-toned skin without downtime.

Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning uses a fine blade to exfoliate the skin and remove peach fuzz, leaving your face ultra-smooth and glowing. It enhances product absorption and allows makeup to glide on effortlessly. Because it’s so gentle, dermaplaning is a popular monthly maintenance treatment and can be combined with facials or other services for enhanced results.

Microneedling & Microchanneling

These collagen-stimulating treatments use ultra-fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, triggering natural repair and rejuvenation. Microneedling is ideal for reducing the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, and uneven texture. Microchanneling offers similar benefits but uses hollow needles to deliver targeted serums deep into the skin. Both are safe for most skin types and provide visible improvement with minimal downtime.

CO2 Laser Resurfacing (Performed by Dr. Daube)

CO2 laser resurfacing is one of the most powerful treatments for dramatically improving skin tone, texture, and firmness. It works by removing damaged skin cells and stimulating collagen regeneration deep below the surface. Best for advanced sun damage, deep wrinkles, or acne scarring, CO2 laser resurfacing is typically used on the face, neck, and chest. Some downtime is expected, but the results are worth it—revealing smoother, younger-looking skin over time.

Collagen-Boosting & Skin Tightening

Morpheus8

Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to remodel deeper layers of the skin and stimulate powerful collagen production. This minimally invasive treatment is ideal for tightening and smoothing facial skin, improving fine lines, and enhancing definition—especially in areas like the jawline and cheeks. It’s a versatile option for patients seeking firmer, more youthful-looking skin with little downtime.

LightStim® LED Therapy

LightStim uses therapeutic LED light to gently energize cells, reduce inflammation, and boost collagen production. This non-invasive treatment can help calm redness, accelerate healing after more intensive procedures, and support long-term skin health. Whether you’re dealing with acne, dullness, or aging skin, LightStim is a relaxing add-on that enhances results over time.

Bellafill® (Collagen-Stimulating Filler)

Bellafill is a unique dermal filler that not only restores volume instantly but also stimulates your body’s own collagen production for lasting improvement. It’s especially effective for deep smile lines and acne scars, providing a smoother, more youthful appearance that continues to improve over time. Unlike temporary fillers, Bellafill offers long-term results—up to 5 years in some cases.

Medical-Grade Facials & Signature Treatments

Alchemy Signature Facial

This go-to treatment is designed to purify, energize, and nourish the skin—especially ideal for tired, dull, or dehydrated complexions. It includes deep cleansing, customized exfoliation, hot and cold towel therapy, extractions, and finishing products tailored to your skin’s needs. You’ll leave refreshed, balanced, and glowing.

Detox Facial

Perfect for congested or acne-prone skin, the Detox Facial offers a deep cleanse using salicylic cleansers, exfoliation, and purifying masks to clear out oil, impurities, and debris. Multiple serums target inflammation and free radicals, while cold compresses help calm the skin. Includes extra time for extractions and ends with an oil-free moisturizer and UV protection.

Rehab Facial

Need a quick pick-me-up? The Rehab Facial is a lunch-break-friendly treatment that includes basic cleansing, exfoliation, toning, a vitamin C mask, and sun protection. It’s great for reviving dull skin or prepping for a big event—leaving your face noticeably smoother, brighter, and refreshed.

Back Facials

Back facials are ideal for hard-to-reach areas that often get overlooked. This treatment includes deep cleansing, exfoliation, extractions, and a customized mask to help clarify the skin while restoring moisture and smoothness. Great for those dealing with back acne, texture issues, or prepping for an open-back outfit.

O2 Vitamin Infusion

This treatment delivers a powerful dose of oxygen and skin-loving vitamins directly to the skin to brighten, hydrate, and promote healing. Often used as a boost after other facial treatments, the O2 Vitamin Infusion helps improve circulation, calm redness, and enhance your glow.

Chemical Peels

Customized peels for every skin type and concern—from glow-getters to deep correction.

RevePeel Fresh® offers a lighter version with immediate glow-boosting results—great for sensitive or acne-prone skin.

Enlighten RX®

This powerful 28-day depigmentation system works deep within the skin to correct stubborn discoloration and prevent future pigment from forming. It combines an in-office peel with a take-home skincare system to fade melasma, dark spots, and post-acne marks.

TCA Peels (Performed by Dr. Daube)

This powerful, physician-grade peel is ideal for treating deep wrinkles, sun damage, and uneven skin tone on the face, neck, or chest. With moderate downtime and dramatic results, it’s a favorite for those seeking long-lasting skin renewal.

Frequently Asked Questions About Aesthetic Services

What is an aesthetician?
An aesthetician (or esthetician) is a skincare professional trained in non-invasive treatments that improve the look, feel, and health of the skin. At Gulf Coast Facial Plastics, our licensed aesthetician and founder of SKin Alchemy, Ginger Francis, focuses specifically on facial aesthetics using advanced, medical-grade techniques.
What does an esthetician do?
Estheticians perform a wide range of treatments, such as facials, chemical peels, dermaplaning, and microneedling. Their goal is to improve skin texture, tone, and clarity while addressing concerns like acne, fine lines, and sun damage.
Is there a difference between an esthetician and an aesthetician?
The terms are often used interchangeably, but in general, “esthetician” is more common in the U.S. and typically refers to those focused on cosmetic skincare. “Aesthetician” can sometimes imply more clinical, medically supervised services. At Gulf Coast Facial Plastics, our providers are trained in both spa and medical-grade skincare.
Can estheticians perform laser treatments?
Licensed estheticians do not typically perform laser treatments unless they have additional certifications and work under physician supervision. At our Panama City location, laser treatments are handled by our Nurse Practitioner, Jessica Daube, to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Do estheticians perform injectables like Botox or fillers?
No, only licensed medical professionals—such as physicians or nurse practitioners—can legally perform injectable treatments like BOTOX®, Dysport®, or dermal fillers. At Gulf Coast Facial Plastics, all injectables are performed by Dr. Daniel Daube.
Why is it important to choose a highly trained esthetician?
Your skin is unique—and it deserves expert care. A highly trained esthetician understands how to assess your skin, recommend appropriate treatments, and avoid irritation or damage. Our esthetician, Ginger Francis, brings 20+ years of experience and uses only physician-approved products and devices.
How do I know which aesthetic treatment is right for me?
We always start with a personalized consultation. During your visit, we’ll assess your skin, talk through your concerns, and recommend the best treatments for your skin type, lifestyle, and goals.
What’s the difference between a spa facial and a medical facial?
Spa facials focus on relaxation, while medical facials are designed to deliver visible skin improvements using clinical-grade products and devices. Our facials combine comfort with results—tailored for acne, aging, discoloration, and more.
Do aesthetic treatments require downtime?
Some treatments, like DiamondGlow or light chemical peels, have no downtime at all. Others—such as deeper peels or microneedling—may involve mild redness or peeling for a few days. We’ll go over any expected recovery time during your consultation.
