Lyn Ross - Atlanta, GA
My goal in 2007 is to bleach off every sunspot and freckle on my shoulders, zap every wrinkle around my eyes and alas - wear SPF every single day. I have one client that I trust to do this for me without a prescription and that is Institut' DERMed (they have been with Pierce Mattie for five years now).
Institut' DERMed is one of those brands that editors call and ask us to send them and when we respond "What story is this for?" - often they say "Ummmm it's for my own personal use Pierce." I usually grin and begin sharing with them about my own experiences in using the products. What do we know? We know that several editors give the brand to their mothers for their treatment of Rosacea. We know that several young editors who have adult acne use the Acne II and Acne III products. This is a brand that we give out back bar size and often ship to the editor's house and not their office. Sure the Chanel labels and Sephora distribution are not there for Dermed - it's a brand that is above all pretenses in beauty. It works and we love it. I think the editors will be happy to note that Lyn Ross will personally be coming to our Manhattan office and doing facials at our Media Oasis in January/February. We will be blogging, myspacing and podcasting the hell out of this in 07 so get ready!
Founded by licensed esthetician, spa owner, product formulator and female entrepreneur; Lyn Ross - Institut' DERMed is known in the industry for being hard core - like a drug. It’s found mostly in plastic surgeons offices and used by estheticians who work in medical spas. The estheticians that use the products are almost cultish and never ever use anything else. They attend all of the post graduate advanced classes and spend their free time talking mostly about how the products deliver major results for their clients.

The Institut' DERMed MediClinical Spa, Buckhead - GA
Recently on a trip to Atlanta, GA to visit with our Pierce Mattie office in the south I sat in on a 1/2 day of training of Institut’ DERMed with our VP; Nikki Walker. Nikki manages the Institut' DERMed account with her publicists in our Dunwoody location. Institut' DERMed has one of the most advanced medical programs for licensed estheticians in the world. Students fly in from Asia, Europe and all over North America to hear Lyn speak and participate in her methods of esthetics.
At Lyn's school you learn such youth generating treatments as chemical peels like the TCA and the Jessner that are taught her in 5 day workshop. Naturally when I got back to NYC I chucked my bathroom supply of beauty busts and got really focused with my esthetic rituals.
What am I going to use in 2007?
I am going to start with the Lightening Line and then switch up second quarter to the aging line otherwise known as the defying line it's power packed with industrial strength retinol.
If your a consumer and would like to pick up these products you can find them on one of my favorite sites Make Me Heal.
