Medspas: Unique Care and Treatment for Skin of Color

Speaking today at the American Academy of Dermatology’s (Academy) skin academy 2005, dermatologist Eliot F. Battle, M.D., assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Howard University in Washington, D.C., addressed a variety of conditions that are common in people with skin of color and how to treat them.
“Skin of color reacts differently from Caucasian skin to almost all medical and cosmetic dermatologic treatments,” said Dr. Battle. “It’s more sensitive and it’s more prone to problems of discoloration and scars.”
