In 1980, Dr. Richard Gangnes began Facial Aesthetic Concepts (FAC) in San Clemente, California. For the past 40 years Facial Aesthetic Concepts has been providing patients a single source for all their aesthetic needs. FAC has a comprehensive team of medical professionals. The board certified surgeons, dermatologic specialists, and medical estheticians provide for all the cutting edge aesthetic services available today.

Facial Aesthetic Concepts utilizes the latest facial and body rejuvenation techniques in aesthetic surgery and non-surgical procedures to improve skin tone and elasticity, repair sun damage, eliminate stubborn fat, or simply smoothing fine lines and wrinkles. Our facial plastic surgeons and dermatologic specialists will educate and recommend the most effective rejuvenation options to help you meet your individual needs. Our medical estheticians educate patients about the nuances of skin care and provide medical grade skin therapies such as chemical peels, exfoliation therapies, facials and more.

All our estheticians are also trained in cosmeceutical ingredients technology and can review your home regimen and recommend products to produce dramatic result from the comfort of your home.

FAC is proud to have been voted the Best Cosmetic Surgery Center in Orange County by the Orange County Register for 13 years. We have been voted as the BEST in two categories Best Day Spa and Best Cosmetic Surgery Center.

Cosmeceuticals:
At FAC we feel it is just as important to have an effective at-home skin care regimen to nourish, protect and revive your skin as it is for your routine skin care treatments. The effects of your treatments will only improve if you have a consistent routine with customized ingredients for your needs. We offer complimentary consultations with our medical estheticians to help you develop a personalized, effective skin care regimen and encourage you to bring in any products that you’re currently using so they can see what works well for you, what doesn’t, and help build around any staples that you already enjoy.
