Capturing Consensus and Cutting Out misConceptions regarding the Aesthetic Skin of Color Consumer

By September 5, 2019March 23rd, 2020No Comments

Who knows what’s best/worst for facial aesthetics in the skin of color patient? No really who? Because there is a great deal of folklore and ballyhoo related to what one can and cannot do, forgetting even what the patients think. Enter Dr. Andrew Alexis, Professor and Chair of the Department of Dermatology at Mount Sinai St. Luke’s and Mount Sinai West and Director of the Skin of Color Center, with his experienced SOC entourage to marry personal experience and evidence (what a beautiful couple!). Tune in to hear how it all went down. You couldn’t be in the room where it happened, but after this podcast you might have well been. Learn from one of the greats as I pick his brain on all things, medical and aesthetic, SOC. C to it you don’t miss this podcast.

A CME exam is available for this podcast.
