PREVENTATIVE MEASURES
Dr. Hodge is a proponent of prevention, calling it “the key to unlocking your natural beauty.” “Maintaining the allure and overall health of the skin is a feat best started early, because it enables you to look younger longer,” says Dr. Hodge, who offers a handful of tactics that can help stave off the signs of aging and even skin cancer. “I personally try each product before I recommend it. I only suggest products I can personally attest to,” says Dr. Hodge, an advocate for sun protection as a means to defend against skin cancer and premature aging. In fact, she is passionate about her involvement in the American Academy of Dermatology’s Shade Structure Program, which provides permanent shade structures to otherwise uncovered areas. In addition to sun safety initiatives, Dr. Hodge brings this same due diligence to her own practice, keeping patients youthful and healthy, long-term. “Injectables, chemical peels, photofacials and laser resurfacing allow me to put your best face forward.”
