Living on the beach and spending time outdoors doesn't mean you have to accept sun damage! As a board-certified dermatologist and Mohs skin cancer surgeon , I am passionate about photo-protection and using advanced lasers to not only make your skin look incredible but to actively protect your health. In this video, I take you through my personal beach routine, debunk a major myth about sunscreen , and take you on a tour of my clinic to show you exactly which lasers I use to reverse sun damage, erase brown spots, and stimulate collagen.
