With thousands of personal care products and services on the market, it can be confusing as to what to use, what works, and what is worth the cost to achieve a healthy, anti-aging appearance.

Trust a board-certified dermatologist who understands skin, hair, and nail health. Dr. Pierre-Louis knows evidence-based, effective skincare that will exceed your skin care and visible wellness goals. This is the reason for the launch of Equation Med Spa & Skin Care, committed to solving the skincare problem by adding dermatology expertise derived from nature and science for the healthiest you.
