Ethnic Skin Care Center
Every individual has a unique skin type that requires personalized care, and ethnic skin is no different. Not all skin care treatments are suitable — some skin care treatments are ineffective and others can damage the skin.
What is Ethnic Skin Care?
Ethnic skin care includes a range of skin care techniques and treatments that are designed for ethnic skin. Ethnic skin care, also called skin of color, is a broad category that includes people with higher levels of melanin across many backgrounds, such as:
- African American skin
- Hispanic / Latino skin
- Asian skin
- Middle Eastern skin
- South Asian skin
Due to the color and unique qualities of ethnic skin, not all skin care treatments are suitable. In fact, some skin care treatments may be ineffective, and in some cases, may even damage the skin.
Goodman Dermatology is proud to specialize in a number of ethnic skin care treatments to help patients with ethnic skin achieve and maintain healthy, beautiful skin. We’ll be happy to assess your skin type and skin care needs in order to determine the treatment solutions that are best for you.
Ethnic Skin Care FAQs
Many of the skin care techniques and treatments we offer at Goodman Dermatology are suitable and effective for ethnic skin types. Generally, laser skin resurfacing techniques and other laser treatments are not recommended for darker skin tones. This is because these treatments can affect the pigmentation of the skin, causing uneven coloring for darker skin tones. However, we do offer some laser treatments that are safe and effective for ethnic skin. During your consultation, we can discuss whether these techniques are suitable for you.
Some of our recommended ethnic skin care treatments include:
We also offer a wide selection of skin care products, which can be matched to your specific skin type and skin care needs.
The cost of your ethnic skin care treatment will vary depending on the treatment techniques used. At Goodman Dermatology, we understand that each patient is entirely unique. With different skin types, cosmetic features and treatment needs, each patient deserves a personalized treatment that is designed with them in mind. For these reasons, we are not able to provide an exact cost for treatment until we have the opportunity to assess your treatment goals and develop a personalized treatment plan.
During your consultation, we will discuss your needs and treatment goals in order to determine this treatment plan and inform you of the cost of your ethnic skin care treatment. To make our treatments more affordable for our patients, we are proud to offer financing options through CareCredit.
The side effects from your ethnic skin care treatment will depend on the treatment technique used. However, the treatments we offer at Goodman Dermatology are generally well-received by patients and cause brief, minimal side effects.
The downtime required after your skin care treatment will depend on the treatment performed. However, most of our skin care treatments require no downtime, allowing you to return to work and all other activities immediately following your appointment.
The goal of any skin care treatment is to enhance the appearance and health of the skin while preserving the unique qualities of your skin. Some results may be immediate, while some may develop gradually in the weeks and months following your treatment. This will all depend on the treatment techniques used as well as your treatment goals.
