The Dermal Formula

I came in with ongoing back pain that was affecting my daily life, and working with Patty has been such a relief. She is incredibly intuitive, knowledgeable, and truly listens to your body. From the first session, I felt a real difference—less tension, less pain, and more ease in my movements. Patty doesn’t just give a relaxing massage, she focuses on healing and long-term results. I always leave feeling lighter, supported, and taken care of. I’m so grateful for her and highly recommend her to anyone dealing with back pain or chronic tension.

I’ve been a client for two years now, and I highly recommend Julia! She always takes the time to explain what would work best for my skin and makes sure I feel comfortable during every visit. She also helped me choose the right products for my skincare routine. After each facial, I notice a huge improvement in my skin. The Dermal Formula is such a beautiful and relaxing place, and Julia is truly amazing!

I’ve been a loyal client of Julia’s for quite some time, and her facials and peels are absolute musts for me! I truly appreciate her professionalism and the genuine respect she shows her clients. When her studio added a massage room, I was excited to try it—and I’m so glad I did. I had a session with Master Patty Pra-in, and it was hands down the best massage I’ve ever had! I highly recommend Patty—she’s a true professional.

I just had a facial with Julia and it was such a wonderful experience. She was incredibly professional and took her time and explained everything she was doing. My skin feels so clean, hydrated and refreshed. She was also very accommodating with my schedule, which I truly appreciated. Highly recommend!

Joyce and Julia are excellent at what they do. Ive had a 2 DMK facials and 2 sessions so far of acupuncture, and the experience was professional, relaxing, and very effective. They’re knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely care about results. I felt comfortable the entire time and noticed real improvements afterward. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality skin treatments and acupuncture.

Had an amazing experience at The Dermal Formula in San Mateo. The space was calm and welcoming, and the facial was truly personalized. Julia, the esthetician, took the time to understand my skin and explained everything along the way. My skin felt deeply cleansed, hydrated, and glowing afterward. If you’re looking for personalized care and real results, this place is well worth a visit. Such a high-end experience!

I had my first massage with Patty and had a great experience. She customized my massage to fit my needs and concerns. I came out feeling refreshed and a lot better. I highly recommend her and The Dermal Formula. Their space is nice, clean and has a great ambience. I can't wait to come back again and will definitely refer family and friends.
