The office staff was helpful and very nice. The care I received was a 10 out of 10! I had a complete examination and it was very thorough and beneficial. I would highly recommend them! Thanks!

My experience so far has been very good. I went for a KYBELLA consultation. The front desk staff, the assistant, and Michelle, the Nurse Practitioner, were very personable and professional. I will post an update after my treatment is done, but so far everything has been great. I felt very comfortable and confident when making my decision.

Michelle Madjar is truly amazing. I went to her for help with my dermatitis and what I appreciated most was that she didn’t immediately jump to prescribing medication. Instead, she took the time to really listen and suggested a more holistic approach first, which meant so much to me. You can tell she genuinely cares about her patients and wants to get to the root of what’s going on, not just treat the symptoms. I’m so grateful for her guidance and the way she approaches healing. I would absolutely recommend Michelle to anyone looking for someone who is knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly invested in your well-being.

I was in and out in 20 minutes. Very easy process and the staff treated me well and were very informative. I also paid out of pocket and was surprised at the cost - much lower than I expected.

1. Your Skin Feels Dry or Tight—Even After Moisturizing

One of the most evident signs that your skincare routine isn’t working is persistent dryness or tightness, even after applying moisturizer. This could indicate:

  • Dehydration: Your skin may lack water, not oil.
  • Ineffective Products: Your moisturizer might not penetrate deeply enough or may not suit your skin type.
  • Harsh Ingredients: Overusing products with alcohol or drying agents can strip your skin of its natural oils.

2. You’re Breaking Out More Than Usual

Sudden or persistent breakouts may signal that your skincare routine needs adjustment. This can happen due to:

  • Clogged Pores: From using heavy, non-comedogenic products.
  • Improper Cleansing: Not thoroughly removing makeup or sunscreen.
  • Hormonal Changes: This requires a targeted skincare approach.

3. Your Skin Looks Dull or Tired

If your skin lacks radiance or appears uneven, it could be due to:

  • Dead Skin Buildup: From inadequate exfoliation.
  • Environmental Damage: Sun exposure and pollution can accelerate dullness.
  • Aging Skin: Reduced collagen production can make your skin look lackluster.

4. Your Skin Is More Sensitive Than Usual

When applying products, sensitivity can manifest as redness, irritation, or a burning sensation. This might occur due to:

  • Over-Exfoliation: Using too many active ingredients.
  • Irritating Ingredients: Fragrances, dyes, or alcohol can cause flare-ups.
  • Compromised Skin Barrier: Your routine may have weakened your skin’s protective layer.

5. Your Current Routine Isn’t Addressing New Concerns

Your routine needs to adapt as your skin changes with age, stress, or environmental factors. Common new concerns include:

  • Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Often require anti-aging ingredients.
  • Dark Spots or Pigmentation: Need targeted brightening treatments.
  • Loss of Elasticity: May call for collagen-boosting products.
