Frequently Asked Questions

  • A skin check is a comprehensive, head-to-toe evaluation of your skin performed by a board-certified dermatologist. At The Skin People, we believe these visits should feel thorough, respectful, and comfortable.

    To help us perform the most complete exam:

    • Please arrive with your hair worn down so we can evaluate the scalp.

    • Avoid wearing makeup, which can hide subtle skin findings.

    • Remove nail polish so we can assess the nails and nail beds.

    • Wear comfortable clothing that is easy to change out of.

    During your visit:

    • You will be provided with a gown and asked to disrobe for a full-body exam.

    • You may keep your underwear on if that feels more comfortable.

    • Your dermatologist will examine your skin from head to toe, paying special attention to any areas of concern you wish to discuss.

    • We encourage you to point out new, changing, or worrisome spots.

    Our goal is early detection, education, and peace of mind, delivered in a supportive and respectful environment.

  • Yes. As board-certified dermatologists, we are extensively trained during residency to diagnose and treat skin conditions in patients of all ages, including infants, children, and adolescents.

    We comonly treat conditions such as eczema, acne, rashes, birthmarks, and other childhood skin concerns. As mothers ourselves, we genuinely enjoy caring for children and strive to create a comfortable, supportive experience for both kids and parents.

  • We accept most major insurance plans, including Medicare. At this time, we do not participate with Medicaid.

    When you call to schedule, our team will help review your insurance information and confirm whether we participate with your plan. Because insurance coverage varies and may require referrals or authorizations, we also encourage patients to verify their individual benefits directly with their insurance provider.

  • A cosmetic consultation is a collaborative and personalized visit designed around you, your goals, your anatomy, and your comfort level.

    During your consultation:

    • One of our board-certified dermatologists will evaluate your skin and facial structure holistically.

    • We listen carefully to your concerns and aesthetic goals.

    • Together, we discuss options ranging from skincare to injectables to device-based treatments.

    • You will receive a customized treatment plan tailored specifically to your needs and lifestyle.

     We believe aesthetic medicine should feel thoughtful, educational, and empowering, never pressured or overwhelming.

  • There are several types of injectable treatments, each designed to address different aspects of aging. At The Skin People, we think of these treatments in three categories:

     

    Relax. Neurotoxins (Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin®)

     

    Neurotoxins temporarily relax targeted facial muscles to soften expression lines caused by movement.

    • Best for fine lines such as forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines.

    • Smooth wrinkles by reducing muscle contraction rather than adding volume.

     

    Restore. Dermal Fillers

     

    Dermal fillers, most commonly hyaluronic acid-based, restore structure and volume where natural fullness has been lost.

    • Add support and contour to areas such as cheeks, lips, jawline, and deeper folds.

    • Provide immediate enhancement while maintaining natural facial balance.

     

    Regenerate. Biostimulatory Injectables (Sculptra®, Radiesse®)

     

    Biostimulators stimulate your body’s own collagen production.

    • Improve firmness, structure, and skin quality gradually over time.

    • Create subtle, natural-looking improvement rather than instant volume alone.

     

    As board-certified dermatologists, we bring extensive medical training and ongoing advanced education to every treatment. Our physician-led approach ensures aesthetic decisions are guided by deep expertise in skin biology, facial anatomy, and long-term skin health.

     

    Our philosophy is simple. Thoughtful, physician-led aesthetics that prioritize skin health, facial harmony, and natural-looking results over trends or quick fixes.

  • Laser treatments are not one-size-fits-all. The best approach depends on your skin type, the concern being treated, and your individual goals.

    At The Skin People, we offer multiple laser technologies and carefully select the most appropriate treatment based on a personalized evaluation. This allows us to tailor the laser choice and settings to your unique skin characteristics while prioritizing safety and optimal results.

    Many laser treatments can be performed safely throughout the year when paired with proper sun protection and a customized skincare protocol, which we review with you after treatment to support healing and optimize outcomes.

    Our goal is effective, natural-looking results delivered through thoughtful treatment planning and physician-guided care.

  • Yes. We offer medical-grade facials that focus on improving skin health while delivering a relaxing and restorative experience.

    Each treatment is customized to your skin type and goals, using professional-strength products and techniques selected to support long-term skin health. Whether you are targeting acne, discoloration, dryness, or early signs of aging, our approach is thoughtful, personalized, and results-oriented.

    Our facials are performed by highly trained medical estheticians and are guided by dermatologic expertise. While the treatments themselves are not performed by the physicians, they are designed to complement your overall skincare plan and support the recommendations made by our board-certified dermatologists. Unlike traditional spa facials, our treatments are clinically driven and focused on measurable improvements in skin health while still feeling relaxing and restorative.

    Our goal is healthy, balanced skin supported by expert guidance and individualized care.

  • Yes. Our approach is centered on enhancing your natural features rather than changing them. As board-certified dermatologists, we focus on facial harmony, skin health, and balanced outcomes.

     Treatments are carefully customized so you still look like yourself, refreshed and confident. Our philosophy prioritizes subtle, thoughtful enhancements over trends or dramatic changes.
