This is a place where you can trust that you\u2019re going to be taken care of by a licensed clinician,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/wwd.com\/wp-content\/themes\/vip\/pmc-wwd-2021\/assets\/public\/lazyload-fallback.gif\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/AmyZoeWechsler.jpg\" alt=\"Dr. Amy and Zoe Wechsler\" data-lazy- data-lazy- height=\"1024\" width=\"768\" decoding=\"async\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\tDr. Amy and Zoe Wechsler<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPhoto: Cass Bird  Makeup: Romy Soleimani Hair: Zuleika Acosta<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe idea for Spotless arrived shortly after Amy enrolled in business school at Columbia University. Having practiced dermatology for over a decade, she saw a demand for fast treatments such as pimple shots, but she was unsure of how to parlay that one service into a scalable business. After mulling it over with a few mentors, Amy broadened her approach to \u201call acne.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cObviously people are going to need more than a simple shot, right?\u201d Amy said. \u201cIf you have cystic acne, it\u2019s not just a simple shot solved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cI take a lot of time with my patients,\u201d she continued, noting that\u2019s a core differentiator of their business. \u201cWe sit with everybody at Spotless. We\u2019re not standing over you. We ask open-ended questions. We\u2019re a combination of urgent care for acne and long-term acne care.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tOn how they plan on maintaining that same level of service as their patient volume increases, Zoe said: \u201cI think just being transparent, nothing to hide, is also a big part of our values, and so we try to keep that up, but especially downtown, we\u2019re going to have more clinicians available so that we don\u2019t have to make anyone wait too long.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tAmy, nicknamed the \u201cbig boss\u201d by Zoe, will float between the two locations. \u201cThis is my life mission, to reach and cure as many people with acne as possible,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Less than a year after inaugurating Spotless, an acne-focused clinic located at 1053 Lexington Avenue in Manhattan, board-certified&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":341446,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[75,84,83,9,24,63,61017,3743],"class_list":["post-341445","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-manhattan","tag-manhattan","tag-manhattan-headlines","tag-manhattan-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-opening","tag-skincare"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/341445","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=341445"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/341445\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/341446"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=341445"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=341445"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=341445"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
