DIRECTOR
Your skin shows how your body is doing.
I examine every patient myself, from the first consultation to the procedure. Before treating anything, I first tell apart what is on your skin: acne or folliculitis, a flat wart or a skin tag, a scar or just a red mark. Then we decide together what is worth treating now and what can wait.

What to expect at your first visit
- Examination. The doctor looks at your skin directly and names what it is. Many spots that look like acne turn out to be folliculitis, flat warts or milia, and the treatment is different for each.
- A few questions. When does it get worse? How are your sleep, digestion and menstrual cycle? What creams and medicines are you using?
- A plan and a price. You hear which treatment fits, how many sessions it usually takes, how long recovery is, and what it costs, before anything starts.
- Same-day treatment if it suits you. Extraction and removal of skin tags, milia or flat warts can often be done on the first day.

If a spot looks like it needs a biopsy, such as a mole that is changing, or if you have a raised keloid scar, we will tell you to see a dermatologist first.
