Thinking ahead to your 2026 glow? Now is the perfect time to start building a personalized Cosmetic Dermatology plan tailored to your goals, your budget, and your lifestyle. Patients across Atlanta, Hiram, Lilburn, and Alpharetta are already mapping out their next steps for brighter, smoother, and more rejuvenated skin in the year ahead.

Start by identifying what you want to focus on – whether it’s softening fine lines, restoring lost volume, improving skin texture, or simply refreshing your overall appearance. A solid plan helps you stay consistent and see long-term results.

Many treatments work best when scheduled strategically throughout the year. Add reminders to your calendar for seasonal touch-ups:
• Spring: Pre-summer refresh, including skin resurfacing or injectables
• Summer: Lighter treatments and skin maintenance
• Fall: Correction season for sun damage, pigmentation, or texture
• Winter: Ideal for lasers, peels, and deeper rejuvenation

A well-rounded routine combines at-home skin care with professional treatments. From anti-aging injectables and collagen-stimulating procedures to hydrating facials, chemical peels, and advanced laser options, our comprehensive Cosmetic Dermatology services make it easy to maintain glowing skin all year long.

Visit MetroDerm.org to schedule your appointments and start your customized 2026 Cosmetic Dermatology plan today. Your year of glow begins here.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to facial rejuvenation.

Dr. Farzad R. Nahai explains his comprehensive method using a Full Face Analysis to create a truly customized plan for every patient. He starts with an evaluation of these three key factors of aging:

❌ Sun Damage
❌ Volume Loss
❌ Sag/Gravity

He then rates each factor as Mild, Moderate, or Severe. This detailed assessment allows him to determine the best course of action—whether it’s targeted injectables, advanced laser resurfacing, or surgical intervention—ensuring your treatment directly addresses your unique aging profile.

Is an open or closed rhinoplasty right for you?

The decision between an open or closed rhinoplasty technique is critical, and it depends entirely on your specific needs.

Dr. Farzad R. Nahai discusses who is the best candidate for each approach:

➡️ Closed Rhinoplasty is often ideal for patients needing minor adjustments and tip refinement, as all incisions are internal, leaving no visible external scar.

➡️ Open Rhinoplasty is typically reserved for patients needing more significant structural changes or revision work, as the small external incision allows for maximum visibility and precision.

The best method is the one that achieves your aesthetic goals safely and effectively!

Ready for a personalized assessment? Schedule your Plastic Surgery consultation with Dr. Nahai at MetroDerm's Center for Plastic Surgery - Sandy Springs to determine the optimal approach for your rhinoplasty.

📰 In the News! 📰

Dr. Pearl Rimtepathip, Board-Certified Dermatologist at MetroDerm, was recently featured in CNN’s article “Is urea skin care the secret to solving dry skin? We asked derms about this underrated ingredient.”

In the piece, Dr. Rimtepathip shared her insights on the benefits of urea-based skin care, noting:
“It’s a no-frills, deeply hydrating body cream that works beautifully for those with dry skin.”

She also emphasized the importance of personalizing your routine:
“If you have concerns or underlying skin conditions, speak with your Dermatologist to determine if urea is a good choice for you, and to discuss how much to use and how often.”

Urea-based products can help improve hydration, smooth rough areas, and support the skin barrier – making them a great option for anyone with dry, rough, or compromised skin.
