The Personal consultation is one of my favorite aspects of the practice of aesthetics because each and every face is unique. For women and men who are interested, the opportunity to educate them about the changes that are occurring over time in their skin and facial structure it is very exciting to me.

Skin texture, pigmentation, and laxity are assessed along with underlying muscle and skeletal influences. This analysis can be immensely more enlightening if patients can bring in pictures from a time when they were more pleased with their appearance - be in their 20’s, 30’s, or 40’s. Wedding, passport or professional family photos are ideal.

The role of antioxidants, exfoliants and repairative biologicals in skin restoration is discussed. This knowledge will hopefully allow my patients to sort through the myraid of products & services that are out there to make the most effective choices for recreating their more youthful appearance.

Coming from a background of science & medicine, as opposed to gimmicks & commercialization, it’s really simpler than you think! Everybody is short on time and money these days. A physician’s expertise can guide you to strategies that can really make a difference.
