Luxe Looks Derm Aesthetics is Kirkwood’s first dermatology directed cosmetic practice. We invite you to experience our welcoming and intimate studio spa concept where science and artistry truly meet. Each patient at Luxe Looks is given the time and attention needed for individualized care at the hands of experts. We believe in a customized approach to aesthetic treatments, and greatly value the trust our clients place in us.
Luxe Looks Derm Aesthetics was opened by Dr. Gary Vicik, MD FAAD in 2017. Our Kirkwood location is relatively new compared to Dr. Vicik’s private practice in Belleville Illinois, where he has been practicing dermatology since 1975. Dr. Vicik graduated with a degree in medicine from Saint Louis University. Upon completion of his residency with the Air Force at Wilford Hall USAF Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas, Dr. Vicik became the Chief of Dermatology at Scott AFB in Illinois. In addition to Medical and Surgical Dermatology, Dr. Vicik has participated in numerous clinical trials relating to FDA approvals. His private practice, Dermassociates, has seen many changes in the delivery of healthcare over the past four decades, but in spite of pressures by government insurance and the pharmaceutical industry, Dr. Vicik remains committed to a patient first approach. With an expansion into cosmetic dermatology, first under the DermaLuxe name out of his Belleville practice, and now under the name Luxe Looks Derm Aesthetics in downtown Kirkwood, Dr. Vicik continues his commitment to exceptional patient care and exceptional staffing.
