Calkin and Boudreaux Dermatology is known for its patient-focused care. How do you build trust with clients, especially those new to cosmetic treatments?
We understand that new patients may feel apprehensive about exploring cosmetic treatments. That’s why we prioritize building trust from the very beginning during our complimentary consults. We believe that open and honest communication, realistic expectations and informed consent are essential to empowering our patients.
What are the most common laser treatments you perform and what makes them so effective?
The most common laser treatments we perform are those that promote collagen production or improve discoloration. One of the most popular devices is the Fraxel laser—the gold standard for moderate skin resurfacing. This non-ablative laser refines skin texture, softens fine lines or wrinkles, addresses scarring and lessens pigment caused by sun damage. The result is skin that is smoother, firmer and more even.
How do you blend medical and cosmetic dermatology to achieve a natural-looking result?
Achieving natural-looking results requires a multidisciplinary approach, along with a deep understanding of the aging process and safe, effective techniques. At Calkin and Boudreaux Dermatology, we prioritize the health and integrity of your skin, beginning with thorough skin exams, personalized skincare routines and daily sun protection with SPF. Once we ensure your skin’s health, we can address specific concerns such as texture, brown spots, fine lines or volume loss. With skilled techniques, we can help you achieve a more refreshed, youthful appearance— subtle and natural, so no one will know exactly what you’ve done.
