You’ll surely learn a lot in this interview with Dr. Kaveri Karhade, who brings a preventative perspective to dermatology, influenced by her Indian background. She is a board-certified general and cosmetic dermatologist at Berman Skin Institute in the Bay Area (San Francisco & Los Altos), specializing in laser cosmetic and medical skin care. Having different interests, she first explored the world of Chemistry, studying an undergrad, and a major in Comparative Culture in Politics, which she says helped her understand the world from a micro-level and also how humans function on a macro level, in a sociological aspect, only to later find out in medical school that Dermatology has a mix of both, which woke her interest.
Dr. Karhade graduated from Michigan State University with a BS degree, Summa Cum Laude. She attended the University of Michigan Medical School, did an internship in Internal Medicine in the New York University School of Medicine, and later attended Brown University for dermatology residency.
Dr. Karhade shared multiple skin care tips, her personal preferences in brands and products, and explained the importance of addressing and preventing skin conditions early on. Are you thinking about splurging on that luxurious moisturizer? Think twice! She also explained how to optimize where you’re spending your money when it comes to skin care so you don't break the bank. Turns out you don’t even need that many products!
