01
Evidence-based medicine
We recommend what is supported by peer-reviewed clinical literature. When medical fashion conflicts with research, we choose research and explain our reasoning to the patient.
Our philosophy
How we practice dermatology, and why.
Most clinics simply list what they offer. We share our philosophy because a patient deserves to know what guides their physician before sitting across from them.
A note
The most consequential decisions in dermatology are often not the prescriptions a physician makes but the ones a physician declines.
02
Individualized treatment plans
No two complexions are identical, and no two cases warrant the same protocol. Every plan we issue is written down, prioritized, and reviewed at every visit.
03
Transparent pricing
Our prices are published before consultation. There are no hidden costs, no upselling in the procedure room. What we quote is what you pay.
04
Follow-up commitment
Every treatment plan includes follow-up at no additional charge. We need to see how your skin responds before we declare a treatment a success or a failure.
What we commit to
That at every visit you feel taken seriously, in capable hands.
- Time enough for every consultation without rush
- A written plan before you leave
- Transparent prices, published before your visit
- Follow-up included in the first-visit fee
- Open referral when something falls outside our scope
What we decline
What we decline matters as much as what we recommend.
- Promotional discounts on injectable treatments
- Upselling in the procedure room
- Promises of dramatic transformation in a single session
- Prescribing oral isotretinoin for mild cases
- Deep peels on deeper skin without proper conditioning
