When we came across the insightful “Aesthetic Considerations When Treating Patients of African Descent: Thriving in Diversity International Roundtable Series”, co-authored by Dr Sabrina G. Fabi, Dr Cheryl Burgess, Dr Cleo-Daimaris Edwards, Dr Nicole P. Kanaris, and Dr Steven Dayan, we knew we had to speak with our very own South African aesthetic expert, Dr Nicole Kanaris.
One-size-fits-all might work for a breezy summer dress, but when it comes to aesthetics and skincare – especially in South Africa where we have a vast range of skin tones – customisation is key for the best outcomes. Skin diversity means that different skin types and ethnicities have unique needs and require tailored treatment approaches.
Join Paola Chellew, in another episode of Aesthetically Speaking as she talks about this crucial subject with Dr Nicole Kanaris. They explore common skin concerns, optimal treatment options for healthier skin, and how to promote better, healthier ageing for every skin tone.
Watch the full interview to learn how personalised aesthetic care can make all the difference.
