When Dr. Moore returned home after multiple tours of duty as a general and trauma surgeon in Iraq, she knew she wanted to use her training and skills in a whole new way. She had always considered skin care to be an important part of overall wellness, but, as a woman of color, she noticed that med spas offering the most sophisticated and innovative treatments were not addressing the needs of darker skin tones like her own.

So, Moore opened skŸn by Dr. Moore, a northern Virginia-based med spa designed to fill the void and offer men and women of color laser treatments, peels and other skin rejuvenation procedures that are safe and effective for them. Lasers, peels and other cutting edge skin care treatments are NOT created equal and can even have harmful effects for skin with high melanin levels. Skin of color may be less wrinkle prone, but volume loss is still a concern.
