Meet Marissa Pickavance, RN.

Many of you have already met Marissa, but we wanted to formally introduce her to our Alkemè family.

Before joining Dr. Kim Schulz, MD in cosmetic dermatology in 2018, Marissa spent five years working as a Registered Nurse in a traditional dermatology practice. That foundation gave her extensive experience caring for patients with a wide variety of skin conditions before she began performing aesthetic procedures.

Since joining the practice, Marissa has been personally trained and mentored by Dr. Kim Schulz, MD in cosmetic dermatology, including injectable treatments, laser procedures, skin rejuvenation, and comprehensive aesthetic consultations.

Today, she brings years of hands-on experience, a thoughtful approach, and exceptional attention to detail to every patient interaction.

Marissa is also currently completing her Master’s degree to become a Nurse Practitioner, reflecting her continued commitment to learning and excellence in patient care.

To celebrate her growing schedule, we’re offering 20% off your first toxin treatment with Marissa.

Call or message us to schedule your consultation and receive a complimentary LifeViz Complexion Analysis.

Dermatologists have a secret when it comes to treating melasma.

Many patients come in asking about lasers, peels, and other procedures. Sometimes those treatments have a role, but the first step is often much simpler.

We focus on light.

Not just UV light. Visible light matters too.

Research has shown that visible light can worsen melasma and other forms of hyperpigmentation. That’s why many dermatologists recommend tinted sunscreens containing iron oxides, which help protect against both UV and visible light exposure.

For patients with melasma, this simple change can make a remarkable difference in maintaining results and helping prevent recurrence.

At Alkemè, Dr. Kim Schulz, MD and our team focus on understanding the biology of each condition and building the right plan from there.

Dermal fillers aren’t about ‘adding more’ it’s about restoring balance, structure, and harmony to the face.

At Alkemē, our approach is centered on:

Subtle, natural-looking enhancement

Restoring overall facial balance

Long-term planning instead of short-term fixes

Because the best results don’t change how you look, they refine what’s already there.

We are here to offer skin care that honors both the science of dermatology & the art of natural beauty. Contact us today to learn more! 309.204.4350.
