Dermatologist Sue Ann Wee, MD, of Schweiger Dermatology Group in New York City, doesn’t just see crow’s feet, deflated lips or dull skin tone when she meets with a new or returning patient. Instead she hones in on the big picture.
Rather than filling this, plumping that or smoothing this, Dr. Wee may do all or some of the above to achieve a natural, subtle result. Her holistic or global approach to facial rejuvenation typically involves combining a multitude of different techniques and technologies to refresh, rejuvenate and recharge aging skin.
Dr. Wee earned her undergraduate degree from Stanford University and her medical degree from Stanford Medical School in Stanford
FROM PRO TO FAUX – MICRODERMABRASION

Microdermabrasion has been a popular skin treatment for the past 25 years. What started as a rudimentary exfoliation process using salt or chemical crystals, has morphed into a sophisticated clinical skin treatment that is a mainstay in upscale dermatology offices, medical spas, skin clinics, and even in your bathroom.
This growing class of therapeutic skin treatments works for all skin types, even sensitive skin in moderation, and targets a whole slew of things you want to improve about your skin, including acne, pores, fine lines, pigmentation, dull texture, slack tone, and radiance, and even those little red bumps called KP (keratosis pilaris).

AFTER THE BURN: POST-LASER PAMPERING
After laser resurfacing and peels, layering on acids and purging pores, your skin may be in need of some serious TLC. But because the outer layer has been disturbed to allow room for healthy, new cells to rise to the top, even something you may have used for years may cause a reaction. So if you are not careful, you can end up with little red bumps (dermatitis) or little white cysts (milia) from using the wrong aftercare product on your delicate post resurfaced skin. Using the wrong products or even too much of the right products can also cause serious complications and delay the healing process.
As a general rule, after most forms of laser resurfacing, you need to keep your skin moist
