Unwrap your best skin this holiday season. 🍂✨

Fall is laser season, and here’s why: With shorter days and less time in the sun, it’s easier to protect your skin while it heals. That makes now an ideal time to address sun spots, uneven tone and texture left behind from summer.

Treatments like BBL®, IPL, MOXI® and HALO® can help refresh your complexion. Starting now also gives your skin time to recover and reveal results before holiday gatherings.

Your provider will help you choose the right treatment for your skin type and goals.

Here’s what we’re ghosting this Halloween:

🎃 “Base tans.” There’s no such thing as a safe tan. Any tan is a sign of skin damage.
🎃 Skipping SPF on cloudy days. UV rays pass right through clouds, all year long.
🎃 Over-exfoliating. More scrubbing doesn’t mean better skin. It can damage your skin barrier.
🎃 Sleeping in your makeup. Your pores deserve a treat, not a trick.

Proposed Medicare payment changes could make it much harder for patients to access dermatology care, including skin cancer screenings, diagnosis, and treatment. Forefront Dermatology's passionate President, Dr. Betsy Wernli, is actively advocating for Medicare patients and the physicians who care for them.

As Dr. Wernli recently told Healio, a trusted source of healthcare news, "We are working every day to expand access. Being forced to consider reducing it would run directly against our mission. Our commitment to patients would remain; what these cuts threaten is our capacity to meet their needs.”

Redness, sun damage and brown spots don’t fade on their own. 🍂

IPL (intense pulsed light) and BBL (broadband light) treatments target these concerns directly, revealing a clearer, more even complexion. With cooler weather ahead and less sun exposure, now is the ideal window for treatment and full healing before the holidays.

Ever notice that some smiles look a little more lifted than others? Here’s one reason why. 😊

The DAO muscle, or depressor anguli oris, is responsible for pulling the corners of your mouth downward, like when you frown. Placing a small amount of neurotoxin in this muscle can soften that pull, creating a subtle lifting effect at the corners of the mouth.

It’s a small treatment that can noticeably brighten your expression.

When skincare products suddenly sting or burn, your skin is signaling that its natural barrier has been compromised.

Overusing strong actives, introducing new fragrances, or experiencing underlying conditions like rosacea and eczema can strip essential moisture and leave the skin vulnerable to micro-irritation.

Stripping your routine back to simple, restorative basics helps calm inflammation and rebuild a healthy skin barrier.

If your skin constantly stings, flushes, or feels tight no matter how much moisturizer you apply, dry skin might not be the only thing going on.

True sensitive skin often stems from a compromised moisture barrier or underlying reactivity, meaning typical dry skin products, or harsh acne treatments, can actually make the irritation worse. Swipe through to check out 6 key signs your skin is actually sensitive.

Ever wondered what causes those tiny bumps on your skin? 🧬

Skin tags often form in areas where skin rubs against skin or clothing, but they can also be linked to genetics, hormonal shifts, or metabolic changes like insulin resistance.

While they aren’t dangerous, attempting to remove them at home with string, shears, or vinegar can lead to scarring and severe infection. Safe, sterile removal options, such as professional cauterization or cryotherapy, ensure quick results with minimal to no downtime.

Starting anti-aging treatments early isn’t about changing how you look, it’s about protecting your skin’s future.

Preventive care focuses on maintaining collagen production, smoothing dynamic fine lines before they set, and keeping early sun damage at bay.

By incorporating targeted treatments like light lasers, gentle peels, and preventative neuromodulators in your 20s and 30s, you support your skin’s natural resilience over time.

Chest acne is a common yet often misunderstood concern driven by both external habits and internal factors.

Because the chest area has a high concentration of sebaceous glands, factors like trapped sweat post-workout, friction from tight activewear (acne mechanica), hormonal fluctuations, and heavy comedogenic body products can quickly cause breakout flare-ups. Switching to breathable fabrics, showering promptly after exercise, and using non-comedogenic skincare help keep pores clear and healthy.

Understanding what your skin is trying to communicate is the first step toward finding lasting relief and building an effective care plan.

Common conditions like eczema, psoriasis, contact dermatitis, rosacea, and hives can often overlap in appearance, but each requires targeted dermatologist-led management to calm inflammation and support your skin barrier.
