Why “Preventative” Does Not Mean Overdoing It
Preventative aesthetics has become a major topic, especially for patients in their 20s and 30s.

Hyperpigmentation Is Not One Problem
Most patients describe hyperpigmentation the same way: “I have dark spots.” But dark spots are not one diagnosis. They can come from sun exposure, acne, inflammation, hormones, heat, irritation, genetics, or even the wrong treatment performed on the wrong skin type. And because the causes are different, the treatment has to be different too. That […]

Acne scars are frustrating because they can remain long after the breakouts are gone. The acne may be controlled. The skin may no longer be inflamed.
