Deborah McGarry
, LFS/CME/ARS/OCA (Licensed Facial Specialist/ Certified Medical Esthetician/ Aesthetic Rehabilitation Specialist/ Oncology Certified Aesthetician) is Founder and President of Dermal~Care Esthetics & Wellness Centre. As proprietor, Deborah serves as Esthetician at Dermal~Care, with emphasis on clinical skincare treatments for anti-aging, teen/adult acne, oncology esthetics, and pre/post operative conditions.
 
Born and raised in a suburb of New York City, she has
over 25 years experience in the clinical skincare and cosmetics industry. Ms. McGarry has held licensing and/or certification in the states of New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Florida, and Oklahoma.

Deborah's advanced training as a Medical Esthetician, coupled with additional education in the field of psychology attained at State University of New York, has enabled her to specialize in work with facial disfigurement, burn survivors, trauma victims, cancer patients, post-operative conditions, and congenital abnormalities afflicting one's appearance.

Beginning her career as a fashion model/make-up artist in New York City, Boston, and Palm Beach/Miami during the 1980's and 1990's, her career had evolved through much education and unique opportunities presented having resided in several cosmopolitan cities throughout the US. 

Deborah had spent several years working as a Medical Esthetician alongside a world-renowned Park Avenue, New York City Dermatologist. She has also worked with
several additional physicians, hospital-based burn units and rehabilitation centers throughout the eastern seaboard and midwest, assisting those affected in coping with, and adjusting to, conditions that may result in a wide variety of physical and/or emotional disabilities. Her extensive knowledge of clinical skincare had given her the opportunity to develop and implement a state-wide Esthetics Licensing curriculum for the Oklahoma Board of Cosmetology.

In addition to maintaining her current clinical skin care practice in Naples, FL, since 2006, Deborah had previously owned the Merle Norman Cosmetics Studio at Coastland Centre, and also served for three years as Skin Care Educator for the Florida Health Academy's 260-hour Facial Specialist Licensing program.

Ms. McGarry takes a holistic approach by analyzing an individual's entire lifestyle as part of a treatment plan, incorporating product application, wellness counseling, image enhancement, and social rehabilitative support.
