From Sensitive Skin to Confident, Camera-Ready Results
For actress and professional dancer Rachael Markarian, healthy skin isn’t just about appearance—it’s essential to her career. Long days on set, heavy makeup, bright lighting, and constant environmental exposure can put serious stress on the skin.
For years, Rachael struggled with acne scars, rosacea, perioral dermatitis, dry patches, and uneven texture. After trying numerous treatments and products without long-term success, she began working with the team at Olansky Dermatology & Aesthetics—and everything changed.
“Olansky Dermatology and Aesthetics is 100% to blame for the fact that I’m finally getting compliments on my skin and feeling confident in my skin for the first time in as long as I can remember,” Rachael shared.
Starting with Skin Prep
One of the things Rachael appreciated most about Olansky Dermatology & Aesthetics was the collaborative approach between dermatology and aesthetic providers.
As an existing dermatology patient, she already trusted the practice’s expertise. When she decided to explore aesthetic treatments, the team developed a customized treatment plan designed specifically for her sensitive skin.
“I shared my skin goals and we created a plan that started with skin prep and incorporated products into my daily routine,” Rachael explained.
Preparing the skin properly was the first step toward achieving lasting results.
Her treatment plan began with:
- DiamondGlow facial to exfoliate and hydrate the skin
- Dermaplane treatment to remove dead skin cells and peach fuzz
- Medical-grade skincare products to support skin balance and healing
“My skin was like butter after. It was honestly just such a relaxing experience,” she said.
A Gentle Laser with Powerful Results
After preparing her skin, Rachael’s treatment plan included one of Olansky’s most popular laser treatments: Clear + Brilliant.
This gentle laser treatment improves skin tone, texture, and radiance with minimal downtime, making it a great option for patients who want visible results without significant recovery time.
“It targets pigmentation, texture, tightens, brightens, and gives you that even glow,” Rachael shared.
Within days, she noticed a dramatic improvement.
“This is how I went from dull, dehydrated, pigmented skin to glowing, soft, smooth, even textured skin in just six days,” she said.
Even better, the treatment fit easily into her busy schedule.
“I actually had to be on camera the very next day. I was able to cover up some redness easily with makeup,” she explained.
Final Step: CoolPeel
As the final step in her treatment plan, Rachael received the Tetra CoolPeel.
CoolPeel is a modern approach to CO2 laser resurfacing that delivers impressive results with less redness and recovery time. It’s especially helpful at addressing fine lines, sun damage, or uneven texture.
Olansky worked with Rachael to recommend products post-treatment that were gentle and supported a quick recovery.
“After my CoolPeel, I kept things gentle, focusing on hydration and barrier repair. Hydrinity’s Purifying Mist helped soothe and refresh, while their Restoriative HA serum hydrates without irritation. Perfect for post-treatment skin!”
Confidence On and Off Camera
For Rachael, the most meaningful change hasn’t just been the improvement in her skin—it’s the confidence she now feels every day.
As someone who spends much of her time performing and appearing on camera, having skin that looks and feels healthy is incredibly important.
“I feel so confident walking on set and even going out without makeup on,” she said.
By combining dermatology care, customized skincare products, and targeted aesthetic treatments—including Clear + Brilliant laser treatments, HydraFacials, and medical-grade skincare—the Olansky team helped create a plan that worked specifically for her skin type and concerns.
For Rachael, choosing Olansky Dermatology & Aesthetics was the best decision she could have made—and one she plans to continue returning to.
