Everyone benefits from seeing a dermatologist for an annual skin check from age 25–30, particularly if you have a history of sun exposure, a family history of skin cancer, or any concerning moles. For acne, eczema, or other conditions, see a dermatologist as soon as they significantly impact your quality of life — there's no minimum age.

Annual full-body skin checks are recommended for everyone from age 25 onwards. If you have more than 50 moles, a personal or family history of melanoma, history of significant sun exposure or sunburns, or fair skin that burns easily, six-monthly checks are advisable.

Prevention is always easier than treatment. SPF 30+ daily sunscreen from age 18 is the single most powerful anti-aging intervention. Antioxidant serums and retinoids in your late 20s-30s are highly effective. Botulinum toxin for dynamic wrinkles is typically most appropriate from early 30s onwards — earlier 'preventive' use is supported by evidence for high-expressors.

In the hands of a qualified medical professional, botulinum toxin is one of the most studied and safest cosmetic treatments available, with decades of safety data. Common side effects are temporary bruising and tenderness. Rare complications like brow/eyelid ptosis are typically technique-related and resolve within weeks. Always ensure your injector is a qualified doctor.

A fundamentally effective routine: morning — gentle cleanser, vitamin C serum, moisturizer, SPF 50+ (non-negotiable). Evening — cleanser, retinoid (start 2x/week, build up), moisturizer. Everything else is optional enhancement. Consistency with the basics beats an elaborate regime used sporadically.

This depends entirely on the condition being treated. Pigmentation typically responds in 1–3 sessions. Acne scars and textural concerns usually require 3–6 sessions for meaningful improvement. Hair removal requires 6–8 sessions for long-term reduction. Dr. Davis will give you an honest realistic assessment at your consultation.
