Excited to be a speaker with CLASSYS .inc at the American Academy of Dermatology’s Annual Meeting later today in Denver, discussing EVERESSE and the evolving role of monopolar RF in aesthetic dermatology.

I’ll be presenting alongside Dr. Mariana Gradowski .gradowski as part of the CLASSYS Exhibitor Product Theater. Our session, Clinical Outcomes of a Novel Monopolar RF Device (EVERESSE) in Multicultural Skin Types, will focus on performance across diverse patient populations, with an emphasis on safety, precision, and real world clinical outcomes.

EVERESSE represents a next generation approach to monopolar RF, designed to address limitations of legacy systems with improved energy delivery, enhanced patient comfort, and a strong focus on safety while targeting skin tightening, lifting, and volumization.

Looking forward to connecting with colleagues, sharing insights, and continuing the conversation around how energy based devices are advancing patient care.

If you’re at AAD, join us for the session today from 3:00 to 3:45 PM in Theater 1!

A fun afternoon filming something we can’t share just yet with Kiehl’s in front of a green screen… but very excited for what’s coming this fall!

Eid Mubarak to all who are celebrating today!

After a month of early mornings, long fasts, and quiet moments of reflection, Eid is such a special time to gather, share meals, and celebrate with loved ones. Whether it’s dressing up, visiting family, exchanging sweets, or giving Eidi, it’s a day that always feels meaningful.

Wishing you joy and time well spent with the people who matter most.

As a board-certified dermatologist and Mohs surgeon, I’m genuinely disappointed by the FDA’s decision to withdraw its 2015 proposed rule to further restrict the sale, distribution, and use of sunlamp (indoor tanning) products, including provisions aimed at protecting minors. The FDA stated it is withdrawing the proposal because it “no longer intends to finalize” it.

What makes this even more troubling is the timing. This comes amid recent national headlines about HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. being seen leaving a Washington, D.C. tanning salon.�MedPage Today video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaYIpBjH0_Y

In the exam room, I don’t see indoor tanning as a cosmetic choice. I see the downstream consequences: preventable skin cancers, avoidable surgeries, and lifelong scarring.
This isn’t about shaming. It’s about prevention and public health.
�- Skip tanning beds.�- Wear broad-spectrum SPF daily.�- Get regular skin checks, especially if you’ve tanned indoors in the past.

Had a great time supporting the runners at the 2026 NYC Half Marathon this Sunday! I know firsthand how much training and dedication it takes to reach race day.

This year, I volunteered with New York Road Runners as part of the medical team, helping to support runners at the finish line. We cared for both elite and recreational athletes, treating everything from blisters and lacerations after falls in Times Square to muscle cramps, shortness of breath, chest pain, dizziness, and even hypothermia.

It was tremendous watching Hellen Obiri of Kenya take the win in the women’s race. And just as inspiring was seeing runners of all sizes and shapes, young and old, getting out there on a chilly Sunday morning.

Hope everyone had a smooth race and a strong finish, and hopefully plenty of sunscreen along the way! Always inspiring to see the city come alive for race day.

Had a great time celebrating Pi Day with the MIT Alumni Startup Network here in New York!

The annual MITAS Pi Day gathering brought together founders, innovators, and members of the MIT community over pizza, pies, trivia, and even a Pie Showdown bake-off. Always fun to see how a simple math holiday turns into a great excuse for conversation, creativity, and a little friendly competition.

Thanks to the hosts and organizers for a fun evening celebrating π and the startup community.

Happy National Dermatologist Day! Dermatology is so much more than “skin.” It is cancer prevention, chronic disease management like eczema, acne, and psoriasis, and helping patients feel confident in the skin they are in.

Grateful to do work that blends medicine, science, and real impact, one patient at a time. If you have ever had a mole checked, found a routine that finally works, or felt heard about a skin concern, thank you for trusting dermatologists with your care.

Friendly reminder from your derm: wear your sunscreen, book your skin check, and be kind to your barrier!

Yesterday I attended the CEW Connections Meetup hosted by CEW in partnership with IFF, International Flavors & Fragrances.

IFF is one of the global leaders behind many of the scents and even flavors we experience every day, partnering with brands to develop fragrance compositions, aroma ingredients, and sensory experiences across beauty, personal care, home, and beyond.

As a dermatologist, I am always fascinated by how fragrance sits at the intersection of science, emotion, and consumer behavior. It is a reminder that thoughtful formulation, including allergen awareness and skin compatibility, matters just as much as the overall sensory experience.

Loved connecting with such a smart and creative group of professionals and hearing more about what is next in fragrance innovation.

Excited to have given a lecture on Hyperpigmentation, AI and the Future of Skincare Innovation at ’s Global Innovation Center while in Japan last week.

Thank you to Dr. Daigo Inoue, Senior Researcher at Shiseido MIRAI Technology Institute, for inviting me to visit with the skin pigmentation group and to visit the Shiseido Art & Heritage Passage, where I was able to see three-dimensional displays of historical materials tracing the company’s journey since 1872.

Running through the streets of Tokyo yesterday felt electric and then I got to do the best part: cross the finish line at the Tokyo Marathon after several hours.

So grateful to have not gotten swept up by the sweepers. The flat course, cleanliness and impeccable race organization, and the gentle kindness of the crowds make this major unique, not to mention that my favorite sports drink, Pocari Sweat, is available all along the course!

On Saturday, I joined Team Abbott for the Tokyo Marathon Shakeout Run around the Imperial Palace with Abbott Ambassador Rob Dalton () and Buffalo Bills Safety Damar Hamlin (.ham3). Starting race weekend with that kind of energy and community set the tone for everything that followed.

Endless gratitude to the volunteers, pacers, fellow runners, and everyone who showed up. Tokyo, you were incredible.

I had a chance to catch The Sleeping Beauty at last week, and it felt like the perfect escape on such a cold New York night!

There’s something about Tschaikovsky’s sweeping score, the grandeur of the production, and the magic of live ballet that makes you forget the wind chill outside. Bundled up, grateful for a warm theater, and reminded how special it is to have world class art right here in the city.

Winter in NYC can be harsh, but evenings like this make it beautiful.
