What It Treats



The Brightside Process
Restore
We’ll use the restorative power of natural sea salt to resurface your skin. You’ll look and feel fresh and glowing after our treatment!
Replenish
Next, we’ll use the healing powers of noninvasive ultrasound waves with a deep penetrating peel, customized to your needs, to boost your skin’s healing ability by promoting the growth of skin-tightening proteins.
Rejuvenate
Finally, we’ll further encourage the production of collagen to enhance your healing and rejuvenate your skin using customized LED phototherapy.

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.
Financing at Brightside
Did you know that we offer financing? We want every patient to have access to our care, which is why we’ve partnered with Cherry to help you pay over time for almost any of our treatments. Just apply online and then you can book your appointment with us once you’re approved!
