Irma Meni: 25+ Years of Clinical Esthetics Excellence
At Adult and Pediatric Dermatology, your facial treatments are led by Irma Meni, a licensed cosmetologist with over 25 years of experience in the beauty industry. With a passion for skincare and a client-centered approach, Irma customizes each treatment to address your individual concerns. Our facials combine the relaxation of a spa experience with the precision of medical-grade care. Every treatment begins with a thorough skin analysis, ensuring your facial protocol targets your specific needs.
Physician Oversight for Your Peace of Mind
Our esthetics team works alongside Dr. Michael Paltiel, a board-certified dermatologist who trained at Johns Hopkins Medical School and completed his residency at the University of Maryland. With 17 years of dermatology experience, Dr. Paltiel brings clinical expertise to our cosmetic protocols. When asked about patient care philosophy, Dr. Paltiel states: "We take a personalized and comprehensive approach. Our highly trained board-certified specialists are extensively experienced, trusted and qualified."
Beyond the Spa: The Science of Medical-Grade Facials
What Makes a Medical Facial Different?
Medical-grade facials go deeper than traditional spa treatments. Our protocols use professional-strength products and advanced technologies that penetrate beyond the surface to deliver lasting results. While spa facials focus primarily on relaxation, our clinical facials target specific skin concerns with measurable outcomes.
Manual vs. Device-Led Facials: Why Technology Matters
The difference between a standard facial and our device-led treatments is significant. Our DiamondGlow, HydraFacial and JetPeel systems use precision technology to exfoliate, extract and infuse at depths manual techniques cannot reach. The result is deeper cleansing, better product absorption and longer-lasting improvements in skin texture and tone.

Our Signature Treatments: DiamondGlow, HydraFacial and JetPeel
DiamondGlow: 3-in-1 Exfoliation, Extraction and Infusion
Our DiamondGlow Facial is not your regular facial. This advanced treatment uses a real diamond tip and patented 3X1 technology to deliver three benefits in one session. First, it gently exfoliates to remove dull, dead skin. Next, it deep cleans clogged pores with light suction. Finally, it infuses your skin with professional SkinMedica serums that hydrate and brighten from the inside out.
When asked what sets DiamondGlow apart, our team explains: “DiamondGlow is microdermabrasion and microchanneling, whereas medical-grade facials focus more on extractions and medical-grade skincare.”
We offer three targeted serum options: brightening for pigmentation concerns, anti-aging for fine lines and collagen support, and cleansing for congested or acne-prone skin. Your esthetician selects the right formula based on your skin analysis.
Treatment time: 45 to 60 minutes. Downtime: minimal. Your skin will look smoother, feel softer and have that fresh, glowing look often called “glass skin.”
HydraFacial: The Ultimate Vortex-Cleansing Experience
HydraFacial combines multiple steps to cleanse, exfoliate, extract impurities and hydrate your skin. This non-invasive treatment can be customized to address various skin concerns and is suitable for most skin types. The vortex suction technology removes debris from pores while simultaneously delivering hydrating serums. Queens residents choose HydraFacial for its versatility. Whether you struggle with dryness, dullness or congestion, this treatment adapts to your needs.
JetPeel Hydration Facial: Needle-Free Dermal Infusion
JetPeel uses a jet stream of high-pressure air and liquid to exfoliate, cleanse and hydrate your skin. This technology combines gentle exfoliation with the infusion of customized serums, allowing deep cleansing and rejuvenation without harsh chemicals or abrasive particles.
The treatment is often described as gentle and relaxing. Simultaneously, the serums infused into your skin provide hydration, nourishment or other targeted benefits based on your individual needs.
Customized Facials for Every Skin Concern
Acne and Deep Pore Detox
Our facials address active breakouts and congestion through professional extractions and targeted treatments. However, our team notes an important consideration: for DiamondGlow specifically, "skin issues should first be addressed and then DiamondGlow can be done." This ensures you receive the right protocol at the right time for optimal results.
Anti-Aging and Collagen Support
Fine lines, loss of firmness and dull complexion respond well to our medical-grade facials. The combination of exfoliation and serum infusion improves collagen production and helps soften wrinkles for a more youthful appearance.
Brightening and Pigmentation Correction
Sun damage, hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone are among the most common concerns we treat. Our brightening protocols use professional-grade ingredients to fade dark spots and restore radiance.
Sensitive Skin Solutions
Queens patients with reactive skin need gentler approaches. Our estheticians customize each treatment based on your tolerance level, ensuring effective results without irritation.

Supercharge Your Facial: Dermaplaning, LED and More
Dermaplaning: Flawless Texture and Better Absorption
Dermaplaning uses a surgical blade to gently exfoliate the outermost layer of dead skin cells and remove fine facial hair. This process achieves smoother, more radiant skin and allows your skincare products to penetrate more effectively.
Bioptron Light Therapy: Clinical-Grade Skin Healing
We use Bioptron light therapy to enhance facial results. This technology supports skin healing, reduces inflammation and stimulates cellular renewal. Light therapy can be combined with other treatments for enhanced benefits.
