Morning Rounds With Dr. Michelle Henry, MD - A Deep Dive Into Skin Health

Introducing Morning Rounds Monday, a new series dedicated to exploring all aspects of wellness with insights from top doctors across a range of specialties. We’re thrilled to kick off this series with the incredible Dr. Michelle Henry as our inaugural guest, bringing her expertise and knowledge in Dermatology and Skin Cancer.

Dr. Henry shares her journey into dermatology, initially inspired by her mother’s healthcare career and a desire to help patients in a way that balanced her passion for both surgery and skin health. She discusses her work with skin cancer, particularly melanoma, and emphasizes the critical importance of sun protection, especially for younger people, to prevent future risks.

Dr. Henry also shines a light on underrepresented skin conditions like hidradenitis suppurativa, a chronic and often misunderstood condition affecting many women. She explains the impact of stress on skin conditions, highlighting the connection between mental health and skin health. For those with melanin-rich skin, Dr. Henry advocates for a specialized approach in aesthetic treatments to prevent complications like hyperpigmentation, underscoring the need for expertise in diverse skin types within dermatology.

As the conversation progresses, Dr. Henry dives into the future of personalized skincare, envisioning treatments tailored to individual genetic and microbiome profiles. She emphasizes that a balanced diet, rich in antioxidants and healthy fats, plays a pivotal role in maintaining skin health. For skincare routines, she champions consistency, comparing it to brushing your teeth—a daily commitment that yields long-term results.
