What a vBeam laser appointment looks like

Real Patients. Real Results. ✨ 

This patient visited our Park Lane location to treat a scar with the VBeam Laser, guided by board-certified dermatologist Dr. Swali.

The VBeam targets redness and visible vessels—making it a powerful, non-invasive option for improving the look of scars over time. 💡

vBeam Laser: How many sessions do you need?

Curious about treating redness, rosacea, or broken capillaries? The VBeam Laser might be your perfect match.

According to Dr. Swali, some conditions may need multiple sessions, but the best part? There’s little to no downtime. You may see mild redness or swelling for a day or two, but you can get right back to your routine.

Your skin speaks – Are you listening?

Your skin speaks—are you listening?

Our skin often reveals what’s happening inside the body. From changes in nail color to discoloration on the legs, these subtle signs can point to underlying health concerns. That’s why thorough skin exams matter—so we can look beyond the surface and piece together the bigger picture of your health.

Trust our team at Bare Dermatology to help you listen to what your skin is telling you.

Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis) explained in 60 seconds

Did you know? Atopic dermatitis, also known as eczema, is one of the most common skin conditions affecting patients of all ages. 

Heather McFadden, PA at our Frisco, Aubrey, and Melissa locations, explains it best: eczema is caused by an overexcited immune system in the skin. This triggers inflammation, ramps up the itch signal, and creates a cycle of scratching that makes the condition worse. That’s why it’s often called “the itch that rashes.”

What are some Eczema triggers?

Did you know your skin could be trying to tell you something? This month, Dr. Farberg is helping us understand eczema and atopic dermatitis triggers:

🌬 Weather: Cold, dry air can trigger flare-ups—but everyone’s eczema is unique.

🌿 Allergens: From environmental allergens to certain products, patch testing can help identify what to avoid.

💆 Stress: Your immune system and skin health are closely connected—stress can make eczema worse.

At Bare Dermatology, home of the Eczema Institute of North Texas, we’re proud to be the go-to destination for eczema care, offering expert guidance, innovative treatments, and tailored plans for every patient.

Dry Skin vs Seborrheic Dermatitis

Dry Skin or Seborrheic Dermatitis? Let’s Break It Down with Dr. Sroa!

If you’re noticing dry, flaky, or itchy skin this winter, it might not actually be dry skin—it could be seborrheic dermatitis, also known as dandruff, seborrheic eczema, or seborrheic psoriasis. This condition is caused by a yeast called Malassezia furfur, which thrives in oily areas of the skin.
