Approach

Integrative dermatology and teleconsultation


I combine an integrative dermatology approach with teleconsultation, accompanying each case with clinical rigour and a view toward the patient's complete wellbeing.

Every consultation begins with a complete medical evaluation. The therapeutic protocol is designed to measure, according to diagnosis, phototype, lifestyle and each patient's goals.

My private practice
I treat the whole person behind every symptom. Every formula, every protocol, every consultation carries my personal signature, that is how I have sustained results for twenty-two years.
