He sees both adults and children.
Dr. Amin strives to help every patient achieve and maintain healthy skin, which in turn optimizes the skin�s appearance.

�Healthy skin and great-looking skin go hand in hand, and we offer patients a lot of options for getting both,� adds Dr. Amin. �Some procedures, such as skin-resurfacing surgery, get rid of precancerous lesions while erasing years of sun damage at the same time.�
