When is Skin Wins Reopening?

Skin Wins Acne Clinic has been closed for in-office visits since July 5th, 2021. We are expected to reopen by Fall 2021 at our new location in Williamsburg, Brooklyn at 306 Grand Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211.

I'm a new client. What service should I book?

New clients will only be able to book their Initial Consultation and Treatment. New clients are not eligible to book resurfacing treatments such as chemical peels or microneedling.

What is your COVID-19 Policy?

We utilize hospital-grade disinfectants per New York State Board requirements and disinfect before AND after each client with a 30 minute cleaning gap between clients. Due to new social distancing measures in place, all clients are required to wear masks before and after your appointment. Until further notice, extra guests, including children and pets, are not permitted. Hand sanitizer, antibacterial soap, masks, and other disinfectant cleansers are available to you at any given time throughout the entire facility. Silent facials are encouraged to prevent spread. While mask is off during service, talking will be discouraged until the end of the service, unless to gauge client comfort. Upon entry, temperature will be taken and if fever is present, service will be denied and rescheduled at no cost. Following temperature check, clients must wash their hands and disinfect their phones prior to entering treatment room.

I've never visited an acne clinic before. What should I expect?

Upon entry, you will be checked in at the front desk for your appointment and you will be able to hang your coat and/or bag up by the reception desk, where it is monitored 24/7 using CCTV. After check in, your provider will guide you into your treatment or consultation room where you will NOT be asked to disrobe. We have switched to using disposables as much as we can for your safety, so we encourage you to dress in layers in case you may be cold, as we are not presently providing blankets. The clinic remains at a temperature between 70-73 degrees. Throughout your treatment, your provider will be informing you on the steps they are taking as well as gauging your comfort level throughout. Right now, due to silent facials, you are only able to ask your provider questions before or after your service.
