As you walk into DERMed Spa, you will instantly know you’re somewhere special. You’ll be greeted by seasoned professionals and a beautifully appointed reception area lined with the finest cosmetics, products, and makeup that make all things beautiful possible.
Legendary in reputation, Institut’ DERMed was founded by licensed Master Esthetician Lyn Ross, L.M.E., who stands as a dedicated titan in the aesthetics industry. As the multi-talented founder and CEO, Ross is an accredited aesthetic instructor who has carved a path marked by excellence. Ross’ pioneering influence in the world of skincare has made DERMed one of Atlanta’s most popular spas for everything skincare and beyond. With Ross’ genuine warmth mixed with her unparalleled knowledge, you have the magic ingredients for a successful company that is the go-to source for skincare and anti-aging.
Ross’ 40-plus years of experience have earned her the prestigious title of International Aesthetics Association Legend, a testament to her enduring impact on the MedSpa landscape. Along with this level of accomplishment comes a big-picture vision that makes the DERMed mission one of serving a loyal line-up of devoted clients who have loved DERMed treatments and products since its inception in 1989.
In 2017, Karen Harris joined the DERMed team as a recognized Atlanta aesthetic professional with a dedicated following. Karen is the daughter of the renowned skincare pioneer Sydell Harris. Karen comes by her passion for skincare genuinely as her mother, Sydell, of blessed memory, was best known for her nationally respected, first-generation family business Spa Sydell. An early forerunner in the skin care and spa world, and certainly Atlanta skincare royalty, Sydell was one of the most well-respected names in the industry.
Karen Harris and Ross both started their business career at the original Spa Sydell, founded in 1982 by Arthur and Sydell Harris, and had the good fortune to be personally mentored by Sydell herself. “Sydell had such vision and such confidence, that just working with her daily influenced me greatly,” Ross reflects.
“I credit those 12 years with Sydell for giving me the confidence to launch my Institut’ DERMed Spa clinical skincare concept, and that’s why I am where I am today.”
This experience solidified her vision for a para-medical skincare approach, one that would address specific skin concerns with precision and care.
Institut’ DERMed Spa emerged as a trailblazer during the medical spa boom of the early 2000s. Ross’ commitment to providing effective solutions for skin conditions like acne, rosacea, and sunspots, using her non-prescription medical-grade skincare brand, has transformed countless lives. Ross’ leadership, advanced training skills, along with the talents of Karen Harris and an equally remarkable staff, ensure every client’s individual needs are met at Institut’ DERMed with a personalized treatment plan for their skincare needs.
Client Donna Wilensky raved about Karen, DERMed, and said, “I have had the privilege of knowing Karen Harris and can confidently say her expertise in skincare is unparalleled. Coming from a family (Sydell’s) with a rich history in the business, Karen inherited a deep knowledge of skincare and a genuine passion for helping people achieve their best skin. What sets DERMed apart is their personalized approach to skincare. They take the time to truly listen, understand each individual’s unique needs, and craft tailored solutions that deliver real results. Institute’ DERMed has the expertise to guide you with the utmost care and professionalism. Karen’s family’s legacy in the industry speaks volumes about their credibility and commitment to excellence, and it’s evident in the impeccable service that she provides.”
Karen Harris’ motivation comes from helping people have their best skin at any age and said, “What I love most is that what I do can help. Skin care is self-care and that’s the business we’re in. It’s not just about beauty, it’s really about the essence of love. We want you to look in the mirror and smile and love your skin. After all, you are priceless and your skin is one of your most important assets and should be radiant, just like you.”
Ross added, “We’re not just in the beauty business, the education that we provide here of how to use cosmeceutical products for self-care inspires you to take the best care of your skin.”
Lyn Ross’ Tips for Achieving Radiant Looking Skin: As the days get longer, the sun is shining a little brighter. It’s the perfect time of year to shed the last of your winter layers and get ready to glow. Ross says, “Exfoliating dead skin cells is one of the best ways to say ‘see-ya’ to dull skin. Whether you’re getting a facial treatment at the spa or using an exfoliator at home, summer-ready skin isn’t far away.”
Get a Professional Peel: After a long winter, your skin may look dull due to the build-up of dead skin cells. It’s hard for your natural radiance to come through without supporting skin cell turnover. Peels are popular for that very reason. An advanced peel formula helps brighten the look of skin that appears damaged by sun, age, hyperpigmentation, or acne. The best peels leave your complexion looking and feeling soft, smooth, and radiant. The goal is to create a better surface for your topical products to absorb more effectively without irritating your skin.
Do Facials at Home: As we age, one of the goals is to maintain a fresh-looking appearance. Gently remove dead skin cells and avoid drying out or causing irritation. You also want to encourage your skin’s natural rejuvenation process, boost collagen production, and fade the look of current skin discolorations. Using both a topical and a physical exfoliant in your skincare regimen can help keep those dead, dry skin cells away. You may start with a gentle polishing scrub, followed by a renewing peel, and finish with a hydrating mask.
Tried and True Refining Ingredients: Consider a line of brightening products to maintain radiant-looking skin with corrective ingredients like Kojic Acid that assists in evening your skin tone. The right cleanser will not dry out or strip your skin. You may also benefit from an antioxidant-rich toner to help protect your skin from recurring dark spots. Follow with vitamin C serum and moisturizer. Vitamin C protects against sun damage and be sure to apply daily sun protection as the last step in your skincare routine.
Ross added, “For the very best results, schedule a personalized skin analysis to ensure you get the kind of active ingredients in your products customized for your skin type and concerns. After all, it’s important to love the skin you’re in. Let the team of licensed Institut’ DERMed certified estheticians assist you in your skincare needs.”
