Who we are

FACE IT | Dermalab is a boutique skincare studio in Dallas, rooted in ritual and led by Vanesa, RN—an esthetician with nearly a decade of operating room experience. We bridge clinical precision with soulful care, offering skin rituals that go beyond the surface.

Here, facials are more than treatments—they’re curated moments of pause. Every experience is designed to support skin integrity, restore inner calm, and deliver real results.

We believe skincare should be intentional, healing, and deeply personal. That’s why we take time to understand your skin before beginning any touch.

This is skincare redefined—where presence meets precision, and every touch is guided by empathy, intention, and love.

In Loving Memory of Toasty

(April 28, 2017 - November 5, 2024)

This space was also created in loving memory of Toasty.

Toasty wasn’t just a dog—he was Vanesa’s heart, her grounding presence, and her constant companion through every season of life. With a spirit that brought joy, comfort, and peace, he was there for the quiet moments, the big dreams, and everything in between.

Though he passed in November, his spirit lives on in every detail of FACE IT. In a beautiful twist of fate, the studio's doors opened on April 28th—Toasty’s birthday.

He remains a guiding light in this journey, and Vanesa carries him with her in every step, every ritual, every act of care.
