Conditions We Diagnose & Manage
Understand common skin, scalp, and hair concerns. Every condition requires accurate clinical categorization before creating a targeted, barrier-conscious treatment plan.
Acne & Breakouts
From recurring adolescent breakouts to persistent hormonal adult acne, proper diagnosis is the first step toward calmer skin.
Common Signs:
- Closed comedones (whiteheads) and open comedones (blackheads)
- Inflammatory papules and pustules
- Painful deep cystic nodules
Hair Loss & Thinning
Understanding the underlying driver of hair shedding — whether nutritional, hormonal, or stress-related — is critical before choosing any therapy.
Common Signs:
- Widening of the central parting line (female pattern hair thinning)
- Receding hairline or thinning at the crown and temples (male pattern hair loss)
- Sudden excessive shedding during washing or brushing (telogen effluvium)
Pigmentation & Melasma
Targeting excess melanin production safely requires a balanced approach to calm melanocyte activity without triggering rebound hyperpigmentation.
Common Signs:
- Symmetrical brownish patches across the cheeks, forehead, or upper lip (melasma)
- Localized dark spots from cumulative sun exposure (solar lentigines)
- Persistent dark marks left behind after acne or skin trauma (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation)
Eczema & Dermatitis
Dryness, intense itching, and chronic redness require barrier-first medical care and trigger identification.
Common Signs:
- Intense pruritus (itching) that often worsens at night
- Erythematous, dry, flaky patches on the flexural creases, face, or hands
- Lichenification (thickened skin from chronic scratching)
Psoriasis Management
Well-demarcated silvery-red plaques demand careful medical assessment and systematic long-term control.
Common Signs:
- Raised, red patches covered with silvery scales (plaque psoriasis)
- Scalp scaling that extends beyond the hairline
- Pitting, discoloration, or thickening of fingernails and toenails
Acne Scars & Texture
Every scar type requires a distinct physical approach — combining subcision, microneedling, and chemical reconstruction.
Common Signs:
- Deep, narrow pitted depressions (ice-pick scars)
- Broad, shallow indentations with sloping edges (rolling scars)
- Sharp-edged, crater-like depressions (boxcar scars)
