A major leap forward in dermatologic care has arrived in Greater Cincinnati. DOCS Dermatology Group, one of the nation’s most expansive and respected dermatology networks, has officially opened its newest and largest facility to date in Blue Ash, Ohio. The state-of-the-art 11,250-square-foot clinic, located at 4243 Hunt Road, is now welcoming patients from across the region with a full spectrum of skin care services.

Raising the Standard in Local Skin Health

With 31 modern exam rooms, the Blue Ash clinic is designed to accommodate the growing demand for comprehensive, patient-centered dermatologic care. The clinic houses 12 board-certified providers, including dermatologists, dermatologic surgeons, pediatric dermatology experts, and aesthetic professionals.

Patients can now access services such as:

• Mohs surgery for skin cancer treatment
• Pediatric dermatology for childhood skin concerns
• General dermatology including treatment for acne, eczema, and psoriasis
• Aesthetic services like Botox, chemical peels, and laser treatments

“This flagship clinic is a milestone for DOCS and a reflection of our commitment to providing exceptional dermatologic care in every community we serve,” said Bill Butler, CEO of DOCS Dermatology Group. “Blue Ash is one of the most vibrant areas in the region, and we’re proud to make this our home base for growth and innovation.”

Leadership and Local Engagement

The clinical team at the Blue Ash location is led by Dr. Brent Kirkland, DOCS’ Chief Medical Officer and a fellowship-trained Mohs surgeon. His leadership ensures that the clinic is not only equipped with cutting-edge technology but also staffed by professionals capable of treating both routine and complex skin conditions.

“With a full team of specialists and a facility equipped for comprehensive dermatologic services, we can meet every patient’s need right here under one roof,” said Dr. Kirkland.

The opening has drawn support from city leaders as well. Blue Ash Mayor Jill Cole was among those welcoming DOCS Dermatology to the community.

“Access to exceptional healthcare close to home is vital to the health and well-being of our community, and DOCS is a wonderful addition to our city,” said Mayor Cole.

A Model for Future Expansion

The Blue Ash clinic is being positioned as a national model for future DOCS Dermatology locations. The flagship emphasizes:

• Integrated care teams who can collaborate across specialties
• Advanced in-house technologies to minimize referrals and streamline patient treatment
• Patient-first design, ensuring a seamless and comfortable experience from check-in to follow-up

With more than 150 clinics across 12 states, DOCS Dermatology Group is accelerating its mission of expanding access to top-tier skin health services while maintaining a personalized, local touch.

Grand Opening Celebration

A ribbon-cutting ceremony will take place on Tuesday, October 21 at 12:30 p.m. at the new Blue Ash location. Remarks will be delivered by CEO Bill Butler, Dr. Brent Kirkland, and Mayor Jill Cole, followed by a celebratory afternoon of facility tours, lunch, meet-and-greets with the care team, and event giveaways.

Residents, healthcare professionals, and community partners are encouraged to attend and learn more about how DOCS Dermatology is transforming the local healthcare landscape.

Bold Confidence Aesthetics and ALGM Beauty Bar redefine access, safety, and results in modern beauty and wellness.

Across California, a new class of aesthetic providers is reshaping expectations by pairing clinical expertise with genuine hospitality. Bold Confidence Aesthetics in San Diego and ALGM Beauty Bar in Van Nuys are leading this shift with treatments that put safety, personalization, and long-term results first. Each practice blends medical rigor with a warm, concierge-style experience so clients feel seen, supported, and empowered from consultation to follow-up.

Founded by physician assistant Laura Smutz, Bold Confidence Aesthetics specializes in regenerative treatments that work with the body to restore balance and enhance natural features. Smutz is widely recognized for advanced injectable skill, yet the clinic’s philosophy extends beyond quick fixes.

Smutz is perhaps best known for her exceptional skill in dermal filler application. Her ability to craft noticeable but natural enhancements has earned her recognition among top injectors in the country. “My goal is never to change someone’s face,” she says. “It’s to align their outer appearance with how they feel inside.”

Care plans focus on confidence and well-being, not simply volume or trends, and community involvement is part of the mission, including support for pediatric cancer causes and mentorship for women in business. An upcoming supplement line called Foundations Vitamins Plus is designed to improve nutrient absorption and complement in-clinic results, reflecting a whole-person approach to beauty and health.

ALGM Beauty Bar brings Beverly Hills polish to the San Fernando Valley without the intimidating price tag. Founded by Lily Gazaryan, a certified medical professional and makeup artist, the med spa delivers a comprehensive menu that includes Botox, fillers, body contouring, IV therapy, and laser services, all in a calming, high-end setting. Clients often arrive through personal referrals and return for attentive, respectful care that prioritizes trust and transparency. As Gazaryan puts it, If you want it, we have it, a statement that captures ALGM’s commitment to both breadth of services and consistent quality.

The typical ALGM client is in their 20s to 40s, although patients of all ages are welcomed and supported. Many first-timers arrive through word-of-mouth referrals and quickly become loyal regulars. “We treat everyone the way we would want to be treated,” says Gazaryan, who remains actively involved in both the clinical and customer service sides of the business.

Together, Bold Confidence Aesthetics and ALGM Beauty Bar show how California’s aesthetic landscape is evolving toward compassionate, personalized care. Their teams emphasize licensed expertise, thoughtful treatment design, and a welcoming environment that meets clients where they are. For anyone seeking results that look natural and feel sustainable, these clinics offer a clear path forward, grounded in integrity, community spirit, and state-of-the-art practice.

Skin Pharm, the fast-growing modern beauty brand known for its elevated skin clinics and clinical-grade product line, has officially entered the Florida market with the opening of a new clinic in Tampa. Located at 2907 W. Bay to Bay Blvd., Suite 302, the new flagship marks Skin Pharm’s thirteenth clinic nationwide and introduces the brand’s signature approach to cosmetic dermatology to the Sunshine State.

Set to officially open on August 21, 2025, Skin Pharm Tampa is now accepting appointments online at skinpharm.com.

Expanding a Vision of Natural, Confident Beauty

Founded in 2017 by nurse practitioner Maegan Griffin, Skin Pharm was created to fill a gap in the industry: a welcoming, stylish clinic experience paired with expert-led, medically sound aesthetic treatments. What began as a single clinic has grown into a national brand with a cult following — blending the precision of dermatology and plastic surgery with a modern sensibility toward self-care and subtle rejuvenation.

“As Skin Pharm continues to grow, our focus remains the same: delivering natural, never-overdone results through expert-led, personalized care,” said Maegan Griffin, founder and CEO. “The Tampa clinic marks a major step in our growth and brings us closer to our goal of empowering more people to feel confident in their skin.”

Skin Pharm’s provider team is composed entirely of nurse practitioners (NPs) and physician assistants (PAs) with advanced training in aesthetic medicine. This team-based model ensures a consistently high standard of care while supporting a client experience that is both clinical and highly personal.

What to Expect at Skin Pharm Tampa

The Tampa clinic has been designed to reflect Skin Pharm’s signature blend of modern luxury and coastal ease. Created in collaboration with Nashville-based interior design studio Mrs. Paranjape, the space features creamy whites, natural wood tones, and woven textures — echoing both the brand’s sleek aesthetic and the relaxed energy of Florida’s Gulf Coast.

Located in Bayshore Gardens near Hyde Park Village, the new clinic is easily accessible and surrounded by one of Tampa’s most vibrant neighborhoods.

• Gold Infusion facial: a cult-favorite treatment using microinfusion technology to deliver hydration, vitamins, and glow
