INDIVIDUAL ARTICLE: Skincare in Skin of Color: A Comprehensive Approach to Preprocedure, Intraprocedure, and Postprocedure

Hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone, textural changes, and dull skin are common cosmetic concerns in skin of color. Other signs of aging, including fine lines, deeper wrinkles, and skin laxity, also occur but may present in later decades. In-office procedures such as laser treatments, energy devices, toxins, fillers, and chemical peels are useful options for addressing the most common cosmetic concerns in skin of color patients. Skincare can play an important role in improving cosmetic outcomes when used in conjunction with in-office procedures. With the availability of these approaches, clinicians can now integrate in-office procedures with skincare strategies to offer patients with skin of color a comprehensive treatment plan that meets their needs.
