Women's Skin Health
A woman's skin and hair change with every hormonal chapter of life. Dr. Katy Burris offers dermatology care organized around life stages, from building a preventive foundation to navigating pregnancy, perimenopause and menopause, so your treatment matches what your skin is actually going through.
The habits you build in your 20s and 30s shape how your skin looks and functions for decades.

Learn more →Perimenopause, the years leading up to menopause, often begins in the early-to-mid 40s and can bring surprising skin and hair changes: breakouts, dryness, new sensitivity, thinning hair and the first noticeable loss of firmness.
Learn more →Skin can lose up to about 30% of its collagen in the first five years after menopause.
Learn more →Hormonal acne typically shows up as deep, tender breakouts along the jawline, chin and neck that flare with the menstrual cycle.
