About Distinctions

Edina's Most Trusted
Aesthetic Practice

Located on France Avenue South in the heart of Edina, Distinctions Med Spa has served Southwest Minneapolis professionals, Edina residents, and the lakes community since 2014. We understand Minnesota skin because we've treated it for over a decade.

Our protocols reflect the reality of living here: 6 months of dry indoor heating, brief intense summers, a UV index that spikes and drops without warning. Generic "medspa" protocols don't account for any of that. Ours do.

Minnesota Protocol

Winter-Indoor
Skin Reset

Six months of forced-air heating strips your skin's moisture barrier below normal function. The "dry skin" most Minnesotans accept as inevitable is actually repairable — with the right winter protocol.

Barrier Assessment

TEWL (transepidermal water loss) analysis each November to benchmark your winter starting point.

4-Month Reset Protocol

Monthly microneedling + hyaluronic acid infusion + home ceramide program. Barrier restored by March.

Spring Clearance

April IPL and laser resurfacing pass to address winter-induced dullness, broken vessels, and accumulated hyperpigmentation.

Reviews

Edina Trusts Distinctions

★★★★★

"After two winters of the barrier reset protocol, I genuinely don't dread January anymore. My skin doesn't look parched — it looks like I vacation somewhere warm."

— Jennifer R., Edina
★★★★★

"I started the Lakes' Glow program in October. By Memorial Day my skin looked better in photos than it had in 10 years. The results aren't subtle."

— Carolyn M., Lake Minnetonka
★★★★★

"Every other medspa I've tried gives the same protocol year-round. Distinctions actually adjusts based on the season. For Minnesota, that makes a real difference."

— David K., Southwest Minneapolis
