No two types of skin can be found that match each other, neither its condition nor the way it reacts. As a dermatologist, I meet new patients every day. Each one presents me a different medical challenge to diagnose and create an effective treatment plan. The constant occurrence of new medical problems helps me to keep my mind fully committed and my skills extremely accurate and professional.
When we started working on this site with my team, I was convinced that it was not proper to reveal personal information about me. I was sure that only my qualities as a doctor and my expertise in Dermatology were important to the patient. After a few business meetings, however, I realized that a person’s individual story could be as useful and inspiring as to help somebody find his or her way and give them the courage to make their dreams come true.
My path to dermatology and aesthetics started from an early age. I always looked very closely at the skin of people and admired women with beautiful and healthy skin. I asked them what they were wearing and how they took care for their appearance in a sincere childish way. When I entered puberty, my eye had become a scanner. I saw someone with problematic skin and I immediately studied every line and contour, pigmentation of the skin and any unevenness. I imagined how I would cure him, and that brought me the ultimate internal satisfaction.
Becoming a dermatologist was my dream. Very early I realized that the beauty of a person begins with the skin. I dreamed someday to make people feel beautiful, capable and confident.
And so the decision what to study and what I will do has never been discussed.
