About us

The Skin Center Medical Spa Pittsburgh, PA | Columbus, OH In 1981, The Skin Center Medical Spa was founded by board certified cosmetic surgeon, Dominic Brandy, MD, to fill the growing demand for a medical practice dedicated solely to cosmetic plastic surgery and anti aging skin care for the face and body. With three Skin Center Medical Spa locations in Pittsburgh PA and one in Columbus Ohio, our staff of medical professionals offers only the most advanced, medically based skin treatments to help improve the visible signs of aging. ''We had one goal in mind when we founded The Skin Center Medical Spa and that was to improve our patients' enjoyment of life.'' said Dr. Brandy. ''I think we accomplish that by giving them more confidence in the way they look and feel about themselves everyday.'' Sharing Dr. Brandy’s enthusiasm for helping people realize their goal of a more youthful appearance and a healthier outlook, Fernando Colon, MD, board certified plastic surgeon and medical director of The Skin Center Medical Spa in Columbus, Ohio, believes that while physical appearance may not be the most important attribute, it strongly influences self-esteem. ''If you are uncomfortable with some aspect of your appearance, it most likely affects the way you perceive yourself and how you interact with others,'' said Dr. Colon. ''One small improvement in the way you look can have a positive impact on your life.'' At The Skin Center Medical Spa locations in Pittsburgh PA and Columbus Ohio, we strive each and everyday to ensure that we are doing our part in helping our patients live the most rewarding lives possible. This is why we treat every patient with compassion, respect and only the highest level of professional care. Our commitment to exceptional patient care is achieved by not only meeting our own internal benchmarks for patient care, but also adhering to the strict standards set forth by two of the most prestigious accreditation agencies in the field -- The Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC) and The Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Vascular Labortories (ICAVL).

The Skin Center has multiple locations and some services are only performed at specific locations, which isn't that big of a deal. I have had a skin treatments including IPL for removing red spots, facials, and vein treatments. All have gone well and I will continue to use them.

When I went to my appointment I found that despite her initial aggression, the booker had scheduled my requested appointments incorrectly. The facial consultant had to make do. I was there to learn about both the quick lift and fillers. She talked with me about the quick lift, indicating that the fillers were a separate consultation even though the booker had assured me it all would be done on that day. Her personality was extremely flat and unhelpful. She never volunteered to help me determine how it would look, etc. In fact her first comment was, "Well, you KNOW this is SURGERY." She continued to be just that condescending. I had to ask all the questions. i have no idea why she seemed to hold back on the information she gave. I went in there really considering and interested in the quick lift, but I was terribly turned off by the consultation. She did try to get me an immediate appointment for a consultation for fillers, but that didn't work out as they had no openings that day. I was to return on a different day. Then ... Over to the vein center. I had a 45 minute wait only to find out that they couldn't even talk with me about procedures until I had an ultrasound, and of course they could not do it that day ... Of course. I wasted many hours of my day, the appointments were basically useless, and I will never return for any procedures. I do not live close and the whole day was just such an inconvenience, and was not at all what I expected. I contacted a different doctor's office and happily went there for fillers and Botox. They were wonderful there and I will return to that doctor again this summer for any procedures that I am interested in having.
Response from The Skin Center Medical Spa - Shadyside

"We are very sorry that you were less than satisfied with your experience at The Skin Center Medical Spa. It is our goal to help each patient achieve their aesthetic goals as an informed and educated consumer, which is why we schedule separate consultations for surgery, vein treatment and medical spa treatments. These consultations are designed to give you the opportunity to learn about the benefits and limitations of the treatments or surgery, ask questions and assess whether it is the right choice you. We want our clients to feel comfortable with the treatments or surgery they choose and have confidence in our expertise and experience. Your consultant may have been trying to convey that the QuickLift is a surgical experience and is not comparable to a minimally-invasive medical spa treatment such as injectable fillers. It is unfortunately that you were not properly scheduled for your vein consultation. The diagnostic ultrasound is an important step in being properly treated for vein issues; it helps us determine which type of vein treatment is appropriate for you. We appreciate your feedback and we will certainly use this information to better educate our staff when scheduling multiple consultations in the future."

I had 3 sclerotherapy treatments done at the Skin Center in Shadyside. I am very, very pleased. 10 years ago, I had treatments done at a different vein treatment center, with only mediocre results. The Skin Center did a much better job, and my legs look great. I had purchased a coupon for the 3 treatments, but I would pay full price for treatments again in the future. The nurse I had the first 2 times was excellent, but she is no longer there. The nurse I had for the final treatment was only ok, but overall, I'm still very pleased with my treatments.
