Alcohol can impact more than your overall health—it can show up on your skin, too. 🍷
As we age, our skin becomes less resilient, making the effects of alcohol more noticeable. From dehydration and puffiness to dark under-eye circles, rosacea flare-ups, rashes, and even infections, alcohol can influence skin health in many ways.

Understanding how alcohol affects the skin empowers you to make informed choices that support a healthy, refreshed appearance. If you’re noticing changes in your skin or have ongoing concerns, a board-certified dermatologist can help identify the cause and recommend personalized treatment options.

✨ Prescription vs. Consumer Skincare: What’s the Real Difference? ✨

🐌✨ What if the secret to glowing, hydrated skin… came from a snail? 🐌✨

Snail mucin is making waves in skincare—and for good reason. Long used in Korean beauty, this powerhouse ingredient is known for deep hydration, soothing irritation, supporting the skin barrier, and improving overall texture and glow. 🌿

But is snail mucin right for your skin? While many see amazing results, sensitive or reactive skin types should always proceed with care and patch test first. And remember—no trend replaces expert guidance.

At Buckhead Dermatology, Dr. Sherrie Straughn helps patients cut through skincare hype and choose what truly supports healthy, radiant skin. Curious about snail mucin or other trending ingredients? We’re here to help.

Are skin conditions inherited—or influenced by lifestyle and environment? 🤔
The answer is often both.

Many common skin concerns, including acne, psoriasis, vitiligo, and even skin cancer, can have genetic ties. While we can’t change our genes, understanding what is genetic helps us make smarter choices about prevention, treatment, and long-term skin health.

At Buckhead Dermatology, we help patients identify what’s hereditary, what’s environmental, and what can be treated—so you’re never guessing about your skin. Early diagnosis and personalized care can make all the difference. 💙
