Doctor's Orders

Skincare Physicians

You’ve heard it before: Beauty is only skin-deep.

But when you really think about it, impossibly flawless skin can seem, well, unattainable, and skin-deep seems pretty darn deep after all.

That said, there are a few brave souls out there willing to take the plunge: Skincare Physicians, for starters, has assembled a team of world-class dermatologists, lecturers, and authorities (from obscure little schools like Harvard and Yale) all under one roof — right in our backyard.

Consider it the NASA of skin centers: A symposium of global experts armed with just the kind of complicated, expensive technology to push you toward perfection. Got a tattoo you want to ditch? Head to the laser department. Spider veins? Sclerotherapy. Discolored skin? Glycolic acid peels. Scars of just about any kind? They’re a specialty among no less than five doctors here.

And expertise like that is a thing of real beauty. On any level.

Skincare Physicians, 1244 Boylston Street, at Holly Lane, Chestnut Hill (617-731-1600).
