-
You can book directly online or call our Scottsdale office. Whether you’re seeking medical dermatology for acne, eczema or cosmetic treatments like laser or injectables, every consultation is designed to create a customized plan for your skin health and appearance.
-
Cosmetic treatments are carefully tailored to your skin type, tone, and goals to ensure both safety and optimal results. Treatments such as microneedling, PRF therapy, chemical peels, and laser procedures are performed by a board-certified dermatologist and customized to your individual needs, with a focus on safety and natural-looking results.
-
Yes. In many cases, combining medical dermatology care with cosmetic treatments can enhance results. For example, acne or eczema may be treated medically first to stabilize the skin, followed by treatments like microneedling, chemical peels, or laser procedures to improve texture, tone, and residual scarring. PRF can be used to support both hair restoration and skin rejuvenation.
Each treatment plan is carefully sequenced and tailored to your skin type and goals to ensure safe, effective, and natural-looking results.
-
Recovery depends on the treatment and how your skin responds. Many treatments involve minimal downtime, while more advanced options like Ellacor, deeper chemical peels, or CO2 laser may require a bit more healing time.
Before your treatment, I’ll walk you through exactly what to expect—including downtime, aftercare, and how to plan around your schedule—so you feel prepared and confident moving forward.
-
Microneedling and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) are both effective options for improving acne scars and supporting anti-aging by stimulating your skin’s natural collagen production. They can help smooth texture, soften the appearance of scars, and improve overall skin quality over time.
Not every treatment is right for every skin type or concern, so during your consultation, I’ll help determine if these cosmetic dermatology treatments—or a combination with other options—are the best fit for your goals.
-
I take an integrative approach to your care, combining medical dermatology with personalized skincare routines and lifestyle guidance.

As part of that process, I recommend products that are carefully selected to support your specific needs and goals.

Teen and tween skin has unique needs and should be treated with a simple, thoughtful approach. I focus on building healthy habits early, using gentle, effective skincare and avoiding overly harsh ingredients that can disrupt the skin.
When appropriate, I may recommend my btwn Skincare line, which I developed specifically for this age group to provide simple, dermatologist-guided routines that support healthy skin.

This model allows me to focus fully on personalized, concierge dermatology rather than insurance limitations, ensuring flexibility, convenience, and high-quality care.

I accept all major credit cards, debit cards, and HSA/FSA cards.
