You practise in the dermatology and cutaneous oncology department at the Timone public hospital in Marseille, as well as at the automated melanoma screening centre at the Hôpital de la Conception. What exactly are your areas of specialism?

I specialise in cutaneous oncology, focusing on the early detection of skin cancers using various innovative non-invasive skin imaging techniques (whole-body imaging via body mapping, dermoscopy, confocal microscopy and optical coherence tomography), as well as AI (Artificial Intelligence) in dermatological research.

What do you enjoy most about practising dermatology?

Its multidisciplinary and varied nature. I divide my time between clinical practice, academic research and university teaching. In my clinical practice, I work with both paediatric and adult patients, and I draw on technology, general dermatology, and specialisms in oncology and immunology.

What does Aroma-Zone mean to you?

In my view, it’s a very good brand with natural ingredients for the skin. It’s a trustworthy, transparent brand that’s accessible to everyone.

What motivated you to join the Aroma-Zone College of Dermatologists?

I really appreciate this inspiring brand and its simple, effective products. I commend Aroma-Zone’s commitment to working closely with the expert fields of medicine and dermatology when developing its products.

In your opinion, what is the essential skincare step for maintaining healthy skin?

Preserving the skin’s natural balance through a healthy lifestyle, internal and external hydration using natural products, and daily sun protection.

Which dermo-cosmetic active ingredient do you most frequently recommend to your patients?

I recommend emollient skincare products to moisturise the skin and restore its suppleness, especially during the winter.
