In Dr. Kate Kleydman's own words

How Dr. Kate Kleydman describes their own approach, from their Instagram posts. Each statement links to the original.

Approach

  • Traditional microneedling is usually something I consider when the main concern is skin texture in large pores or mild acne scarring

Specialization

  • I'm Dr. Kate Kleidman, a cosmetic dermatologist and founder of Kleidman Dermatology here in New York City
  • Specializes in Mohs surgery

Technique

  • RF microneedling adds radiofrequency energy underneath the skin, so I may choose this modality when we're also trying to address firmness, crepey skin, or mild laxity
  • Dr. Kate Kleydman recommends Laser Genesis for general redness, dullness, and for patients seeking a low downtime treatment.
  • Go with filler, such as a hyaluronic acid filler or a Sculptra. Love Sculptra
  • This treatment combines tiny controlled microchannels with radiofrequency energy delivered beneath the skin's surface to stimulate collagen and elastin

Consultation

  • Come in with your questions and skin concerns, I’ll help you understand your options and what’s appropriate for your skin
  • You don’t need to know which microneedling treatment to book before seeing me

Recovery guidance

  • Dr. Kate Kleydman's practice may recommend a series of radiofrequency microneedling treatments for optimal results.

Results

  • Over time, the skin can appear firmer, smoother, and more even, while stretch marks become less noticeable

About

Dr. Kate Kleydman is a Board Certified Dermatologic Surgeon practicing in Brooklyn, New York, and the founder of Kleydman Dermatology. She specializes in Mohs Micrographic Surgery and cosmetic dermatology. During consultations, Dr. Kleydman focuses on helping patients understand their treatment options and determining what is appropriate for their skin, encouraging them to share their concerns without needing to know specific treatments beforehand. Dr. Kleydman believes that addressing concerns related to muscle movement, skin support, and surface texture together can create a more complete result. She emphasizes consistency in skincare, recommending products patients will actually use, like a gentle cleanser with glycerin and a hydrating, non-pilling morning moisturizer.

She offers a range of treatments for textured skin, including HydraFacial, SkinPen microneedling, RF microneedling for texture and early laxity, VI Peel, and CO2 laser resurfacing for significant correction. She also notes that surgery is not always the only option for loose skin.

Source →
When does Dr. Kleydman recommend using hyaluronic acid?
Dr. Kleydman suggests adding hyaluronic acid for an extra layer of hydration on cold mornings or when skin feels a little dry.
Source →
Is PRP for hair loss a one-time treatment?
No, PRP for hair loss is a multi-step process, not a single treatment. Consistency is crucial for achieving progress.
Source →
What are the benefits of a HydraFacial, and when is it recommended?
Dr. Kleydman considers HydraFacial a go-to treatment after summer, particularly when sunscreen, sweat, and oil have contributed to surface buildup. Its vortex technology deeply cleanses pores, removes debris, and refreshes the skin by combining cleansing, exfoliation, and hydration in one treatment.
Source →
What are the benefits of SkinPen microneedling?
Dr. Kleydman considers SkinPen microneedling an underrated treatment for achieving a 'glass skin' look. It creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin to improve texture, pores, and overall skin quality over time.
Source →
What is RF Microneedling, and what can it treat?
RF microneedling combines tiny needles with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen and elastin production at deeper levels of the skin. Dr. Kleydman prefers it when both texture and early skin laxity are present. It helps improve mild laxity, crepey skin, and stretch marks over time. One session initiates three months of collagen remodeling, and a series of treatments may be recommended depending on your skin and goals. It can be used on areas beyond the face, including the abdomen, neck, arms, and above the knees.
Source →
What are the benefits of a VI Peel?
Dr. Kleydman believes a well-chosen chemical peel should not be underestimated. Depending on its formulation, a VI Peel can be one of the simplest ways to address dullness, uneven tone, and surface texture.
Source →
When is CO2 Laser Resurfacing recommended?
CO2 laser resurfacing is a more intensive treatment Dr. Kleydman considers for significant correction of scars, rough texture, fine lines, sun damage, and hyperpigmentation.
Source →
What is Dr. Kleydman's approach to combining treatments?
Dr. Kleydman often finds that concerns related to muscle movement, skin support, and surface texture show up together. For the right patient, she considers a combination of Botox (to soften expression lines), RF microneedling (to encourage collagen and improve mild laxity/crepey skin), and CO2 laser (to resurface skin, smooth texture, soften fine lines, and improve hyperpigmentation) to create a more complete result.
Source →
What are Dr. Kleydman's recommendations for sun protection, especially for those prone to dark spots?
For individuals prone to dark spots, Dr. Kleydman recommends a comprehensive routine: daily SPF 50 (applied to face, neck, chest, and arms), a tinted sunscreen you enjoy wearing (she uses Colorescience), lip balm with SPF (she likes Prequel Skin), hand cream with SPF (like Coola), UV-protective sunglasses (look for UV400 or 100% UV protection), SPF powder for touch-ups (Supergoop makes a great one), and a brimmed hat for longer periods outside. Her biggest tip is to choose products you'll actually use, as consistency is key for long-term skin protection.
Source →
How does Dr. Kleydman recommend using glycerin serum?
Dr. Kleydman applies glycerin serum to slightly damp skin when dehydration makes skin look less smooth, noting that glycerin is a humectant that helps attract and hold water in the outer layer of the skin.
Source →
What are the benefits of Squalane?
Squalane helps soften dry, flaky skin and reduce moisture loss without requiring a complicated routine.
Source →
How does Dr. Kleydman recommend using urea cream for rough skin?

Source →
Do treatment results vary?
Yes, results from treatment can vary among individuals.
