Frequently Asked Questions
A Glacial Skin facial is excellent for addressing inflammation, redness and dull skin. However, depending on your needs and concerns, we have many treatment options to give you the best outcome. Often we recommend combining various types of treatments along with skincare for best results.
If you’re not sure about a Glacial Skin facial, consider visiting us for a HydrafFacial instead to cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate your skin! We also offer the innovative Bela MD+ facial treatment to resurface your skin and improve its healing capability.
Each of our facials targets different symptoms and conditions to give you the option to find the perfect treatment for you. Let us know if you have any questions and our team will be happy to help!

For a standalone facial, the Glacial Gloss treatment is a full facial including exfoliation, a light chemical peel, hydrating mask and controlled cooling. The Gloss treatment requires approximately 1 hour.
As an add-on to other treatments, we also offer a shortened Glacial Glide treatment which is intended to help with post-treatment inflammation or redness following some of our more aggressive treatments. Glide treatments are also excellent to help with discomfort from a sunburn!

Meet Your Provider
Brightside Aesthetics began as an extension of Ducharme Dermatology. Dr. Erin Ducharme, our founder and lead provider, saw how many patients struggled to find quality aesthetic care in Des Moines. She knew that she could help thanks to her years of experience with dermatology, and thus Brightside Aesthetics was born. Over the years, we’ve been able to expand and offer even more services, like our SaltFacial in Des Moines. Our practice is always looking to grow so we can serve our patients as best as we can.
