The research is the practice.
Dr Isabella Zhao founded Your Skin Doctor. She has been a university academic and researcher since 2006.

In her words
Your Skin Doctor began with a question I kept returning to: why does so much of what happens in a treatment room stop at technique, when there is a whole body of science explaining how it could work better?
I have built my career on both sides of that question, treating patients every day while completing my second PhD in laser-skin interaction. I study how laser energy interacts with skin, why certain parameters rejuvenate and heal, and what the evidence genuinely supports. That research comes back into how I assess your skin and plan your care, as it develops, not years later.
My commitment is simple: every treatment is grounded in evidence. When the science is still emerging, I will tell you that too. I would rather be honest about what we know than overpromise on what we do not.
When you sit in my chair, you are not receiving a one-size-fits-all package. You are receiving a plan shaped by an understanding of how your skin will respond.
