Who we are

Rooted in Ritual. Guided by Heart.

FACE IT | Dermalab is a boutique skincare studio nestled in Dallas, founded by Vanesa—Registered Nurse, esthetician, and passionate practitioner of intentional, skin-deep care.

With nearly a decade in the operating room, Vanesa blends clinical precision with a grounded, healing touch—offering facial rituals designed not just to transform your skin, but to help you reconnect with yourself. Here, every detail is thoughtful, every treatment is personal, and every session is a pause from the noise.

At FACE IT, skincare becomes ritual. A space to soften, breathe, and return to yourself—while caring for your skin with presence, empathy, and intention.

This is skincare reimagined—where clinical meets soulful, and every touch tells a story.

In Loving Memory of Toasty

The Heart Behind FACE IT

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.
