I had a large ugly wart removed from my neck at Emerald Skin Studio. Derna made sure I was fully informed about the process and she was very knowledgeable. The studio was spotless and I felt very relaxed. The wart was removed in one sitting, very cleanly and I got clear after care instructions and gel to apply. Its been a few months and I am still super happy with the results, it healed over wonderfully quick and my self confidence has been really improved. Derna is a truly lovely and professional person, will definitely visit again if I need any other procedures.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I struggled for a long time to get the correct diagnosis for the bumps under my eyes. Several clinics had misdiagnosed them as cholesterol deposits and even treated me with acid, which only left the bumps more inflamed, pronounced, and left me feeling devastated. When I reached out to Derna at Emerald Skincare, the experience was completely different. She quickly and correctly identified the bumps as syringoma, and from the very start she was attentive, caring, and highly professional. She carefully tested my skin, took images, and recorded everything along the way, showing how thorough and knowledgeable she is. Her approach was gentle, safe, and fair in cost. Most importantly, the treatment worked—she successfully removed the bumps, and I finally feel confident in myself again. After so many misdiagnoses elsewhere, I can honestly say that Derna is one of the only professionals who truly helped me. Her experience, skill, and genuine care set her apart, and I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation.

After my husband visited Derna to have a skin tag removed from just under his eye. He was so confident and recommended that we visit Derna at Emerald Skin Studio. We both booked appointments with Derna to have some Skin Tags removed from our neck. I was so impressed by how quickly and carefully she worked. She made me feel calm and at ease, explaining before and during what she was doing. Thank you , for giving me confidence show off my neck!
