How to Properly Exfoliate

Exfoliating you skin should be part of your skincare regimen. Exfoliation allows the dead skin cell layer to come off and allows fresher younger skin cells to replace the old ones. Exfoliation can either be mechanical (with the use of a scrub) or chemical ( with a natural acid like glycolic acid). This also signals to the skin cells deeper in the skin to increase celullar renewal. Its all about being "out with the old nd in with he new" as the dead skin cells that may have irregular distribution of pigment get debrided and replaced by skin cells with a more even skin tone. In addition, exfoliating removes dirt, make up and debris that sometimes cleansers alone cannot remove. Weather you exfoliate once a week or once a day, try and Incorporate this into your routine my beauties.

I earned my Medical Degree from UC Irvine and completed my residency in Dermatology at UCLA. Upon completing my residency, I joined the full-time faculty at UCLA as a Clinical Instructor and Professor in Dermatology and Dermatologic Surgery. I then went on to complete advanced fellowship training in Dermatologic Surgery at UC Davis and Cosmetic Dermatology at the Laser and Skin Surgery Center of Northern California with world-renowned expert, Dr. Suzanne Kilmer. After fellowship, I was appointed the Director of Dermatologic Surgery at the Laser & Skin Surgery Center of Northern California where I remained active in clinical trials and have been on the forefront of the latest advances in aesthetics and dermatology. As an Orange County native, I love the SoCal community and currently enjoy being a Dermatologist in Newport Beach, CA.

My areas of expertise include cosmetic dermatology with a focus on injectable neuromodulators (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin), as well as dermal fillers (Juvederm, Voluma, Volbella, Vollure, Sculptra, Restylane, Belotero, and Radiesse). In addition, I travel nationally and internationally where I teach other physicians injection techniques and about the latest advances in dermatology. I am highly-trained in the use of lasers and energy-based devices to treat all aspects of photoaging, including fine lines, wrinkles, skin laxity, brown spots and facial vessels. I offer a comprehensive approach to body contouring with the use of minimally-invasive procedures. In addition, I specialize in Dermatologic Surgery including Mohs micrographic surgery, blepharoplasty, skin cancer excisions, sclerotherapy, surgical earlobe repair and cosmetic tattoo excisions.
