With a background in both pediatric and adult emergency medicine and critical care, she cared for patients across the full spectrum of acute illness — from managing fresh post-operative hearts and cardiac assist devices, to air medical transport delivering emergency care at altitude and in remote environments. Her credentials: Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from the University of Cincinnati, dual certification in adult and pediatric acute care (ACNP-BC, CPNP-AC), Critical Care RN certification (CCRN), and a Master of Legal Studies (MLS) focused on compliance and the medicolegal aspects of patient care. The clinic uses the Aura 3D Skin Analyzer at every consultation — an advanced diagnostic tool that captures a precise, objective map of the skin using multi-spectral imaging. It assesses five dimensions of skin health: wrinkles, texture, pore size, redness, and tone. This baseline allows Sally to track measurable progress after every treatment. --- ## Services ### Laser Treatments (Nouvaderm) URL: https://www.theskincliniq.com/services/laser-treatments The Nouvaderm is a 1927nm Thulium fractional laser and one of the most versatile skin resurfacing systems available — customizable from a gentle, zero-downtime refresh all the way to an intensive ablative treatment. Safe for every skin type and tone. Addresses concerns on the face, neck, body, and scalp. Targets stubborn pigmentation, acne scars, texture, fine lines, and overall radiance. Benefits: Safe for all skin types, treats fine lines, wrinkles, uneven tone, sun damage, acne scars, enlarged pores, and rough texture. Customizable downtime from zero to several days depending on intensity. --- ### IPL & Laser Hair Removal URL: https://www.theskincliniq.com/services/ipl-laser-hair-removal Advanced light-based treatments for hair removal and skin correction. The Alpha Pro platform delivers both 808nm diode laser hair removal and 3D IPL for pigmentation and vascular correction. Safe for skin types I–VI. --- ### Neuromodulators (Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau) URL: https://www.theskincliniq.com/services/neuromodulators Neuromodulators temporarily relax the muscles responsible for expression lines — resulting in smoother forehead lines, softened crow's feet, and relaxed frown lines. The Skin Cliniq works with Dysport and Jeuveau — two newer-generation neuromodulators offering distinct advantages. Results are designed to look natural, not frozen. Results last 3–4 months typically. --- ### Dermal Fillers URL: https://www.theskincliniq.com/services/dermal-fillers Hyaluronic acid fillers restore volume, enhance lip definition, and contour facial structure. Results are tailored to your anatomy — enhancing natural proportions, not altering them. HA fillers are reversible with hyaluronidase. --- ### Cellenis Derma PRP (Bio-Filler) URL: https://www.theskincliniq.com/services/cellenis-bio-filler Cellenis Derma PRP is a natural bio-filler derived 100% from your own blood — no synthetic materials. A specialized kit processes your blood to extract a concentrated plasma rich in platelets and growth factors. When injected, it acts like a bio-filler: restoring volume while simultaneously stimulating collagen production and improving skin quality. Note: Cellenis Derma PRP (injectable bio-filler) is distinct from standard PRP used topically in microneedling or injected in the scalp for hair restoration. Same raw material (blood), completely different preparation, purpose, and technique. --- ### Microneedling URL: https://www.theskincliniq.com/services/microneedling Microneedling uses ultra-fine needles to create thousands of controlled micro-injuries in the skin's surface. These stimulate the natural wound-healing cascade — including collagen and elastin production. Addresses fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven texture, stretch marks, and overall dullness. Enhancement options: - Standard: AnteAGE MD Growth Factor serum for collagen amplification - Better: EXO|E plant-based exosome complex + optional topical PRP - Best: Topical PRP (platelet-rich plasma from your own blood) Sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. A series of 3–6 is typically recommended. --- ### Aquafirme XS URL: https://www.theskincliniq.com/services/aquafirme-xs The Aquafirme XS is an advanced dermal health workstation combining three specialized handpieces: - EVO: aqua dermabrasion to cleanse and resurface - ULTRA: ultrasound delivery of active serums deeper into skin layers - EXO2: microcurrent and exosome-powered skin rejuvenation All four serum formulas (CLARIFY, VIVIFY, DETOX, DEFY) are powered by EXO|E — a plant-based exosome complex derived from Ayurvedic plant secretory factors. Zero downtime, suitable for all skin types. How it differs from HydraFacial: Aquafirme XS uses three specialized handpieces versus a single HydraFacial tip; the ULTRA handpiece delivers serums via ultrasound reaching deeper than standard hydradermabrasion; serums use proprietary plant-based formulas, not generic solutions. --- ### Hair Restoration (PRP + Nouvaderm + DE|RIVE) URL: https://www.theskincliniq.com/services/prp-hair-restoration A multi-modal protocol combining: Cellenis PRP injections into the scalp (growth factor-rich plasma from your own blood), Nouvaderm laser scalp treatments to stimulate follicle health, and DE|RIVE topical plant-based hair treatment. Protocol schedule: Months 1, 2, 3, 6, then as needed. Works for androgenetic alopecia, thinning hair, and post-partum shedding. Not effective for scarring alopecia. --- ### Professional-Grade Skincare URL: https://www.theskincliniq.com/services/medical-grade-skincare Curated professional-grade skincare lines carried at The Skin Cliniq: - SkinCeuticals: antioxidants, vitamin C, and advanced active ingredients - AnteAGE MD: growth factor and cytokine-based formulas - (plated)® Skin Science: exosome-powered skincare - Face Reality: acne-focused clinical skincare - jane iredale: "The Skincare Makeup" — clean, clinically tested cosmetics; Premier Partner - Derma Made: professional treatment products --- ### Chemical Peels (Perfect Derma Peel) URL: https://www.theskincliniq.com/services/chemical-peels The Perfect Derma Peel is a professional chemical peel that addresses pigmentation, acne, fine lines, and overall skin quality.

Available in multiple formulations for different skin concerns. --- ### Enhancements & Add-Ons URL: https://www.theskincliniq.com/services/enhancements Add-ons available with any treatment: Celluma LED Light Therapy: FDA-cleared Class II medical device. Three wavelengths — blue (465nm, acne), red (640nm, collagen/inflammation), near-infrared (880nm, deep repair). Zero downtime. Dermaplaning: Manual exfoliation removing dead skin cells and vellus hair using a sterile surgical scalpel. Instantly smoother skin, better product absorption. Safe for most skin types except active acne. --- ### Weight Management (Semaglutide / Tirzepatide) URL: https://www.theskincliniq.com/services/weight-management Medically supervised weight management using GLP-1 receptor agonist medications. Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that activates receptors involved in appetite regulation and glucose metabolism. Tirzepatide is a dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist that activates two complementary pathways. Both are FDA-approved for chronic weight management in adults who meet clinical criteria and are administered as weekly subcutaneous injections. Program includes clinical intake evaluation, candidacy assessment, prescription, ongoing monitoring, and dosing adjustments by Sally Mills, DNP. Generic medication names only — no brand names used. --- ### Aura 3D Skin Analyzer URL: https://www.theskincliniq.com/services/aura-3d-skin-analyzer The Aura 3D Skin Analyzer uses multi-spectral imaging to create an objective baseline map of skin before treatment begins. Assesses: wrinkles, texture, pore size, redness, and overall tone. This diagnostic data guides treatment planning and tracks measurable progress after every series. --- ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Laser Treatments **What is Nouvaderm and how does it work?** Nouvaderm is a 1927nm Thulium fractional laser that creates tiny controlled micro-injuries in the skin's surface. These stimulate your body's natural healing process — increasing collagen and elastin production — resulting in smoother, brighter, and more even-toned skin. **How many laser treatments will I need?** Most patients see meaningful improvement with a series of 3–6 treatments, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. A single treatment can deliver a noticeable refresh, but a full series addresses deeper concerns like scarring and significant texture. **Is laser treatment safe for darker skin tones?** Yes. The Nouvaderm's 1927nm Thulium wavelength is safe for all skin types and tones. Settings are carefully calibrated for your specific Fitzpatrick skin type during your consultation. ### Neuromodulators **Will I look frozen after neuromodulator treatment?** Our philosophy is built around natural results. We follow manufacturer dosing guidelines while always listening closely to your concerns and goals. The aim is always that you look like a refreshed, well-rested version of yourself — never someone who's had obvious work done. **How long do neuromodulator results last?** Typically 3–4 months, depending on the product, dose, treatment area, and your individual metabolism. With regular treatments, some patients find results lasting slightly longer over time. ### Microneedling **How is microneedling different from other resurfacing treatments?** Microneedling uses mechanical stimulation — tiny needles — rather than heat or chemicals. This makes it suitable for all skin types including darker tones that may not be candidates for certain laser treatments. It triggers the natural wound-healing response and is particularly effective for scarring and texture. ### Aquafirme XS **How is Aquafirme XS different from a HydraFacial?** Aquafirme XS uses three specialized handpieces versus a single-function HydraFacial tip. The ULTRA handpiece delivers serums via ultrasound — reaching deeper than standard hydradermabrasion. The serums use proprietary plant-based formulas powered by the EXO|E Skin Revitalizing Complex, not the generic solutions used in HydraFacial. ### Weight Management **What is the difference between semaglutide and tirzepatide?** Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that activates one pathway involved in appetite regulation. Tirzepatide activates two pathways (GLP-1 and GIP), which may produce stronger effects for some patients. Both are FDA-approved for chronic weight management.
