In Dr. Manjula Jegasothy's own words

How Dr. Manjula Jegasothy describes their own approach, from their Instagram and TikTok posts. Each statement links to the original.

Approach

  • I think the biggest skin care myth... is that if we do procedures, do we need skin care? And the answer is always yes
  • The Miami Skin Institute's services aim to make people look and feel more beautiful/handsome, extending beyond just anti-aging, for all ages and genders.TikTok ↗

Specialization

  • Dr. Jegasothy employs unparalleled precision and specific VBeam® Laser protocols.TikTok ↗

Technique

  • So when I do a laser, I know exactly what death that I'm treating you at and what's going to happen because of it
  • That foundation has helped her develop and refine specific laser settings and injectable personalization based on treatment depth, skin structure, and each patient’s individual needs

Training & credentials

  • I've spent 12 years learning about the histology, which is the look of the skin cells, the biology, which is how the skin cells behave, and the pathology, meaning how they go wrong and what happens when they go wrong, of the skin cells. And I've been doing that for 12 years
  • She spends several hours each week reading and taking tests to maintain her Dermatology board certification

Consultation

  • And you should be able to have a dialogue, a back and forth with your doctor so that you can decide how much you want to do and what kind of results you want to get at every single visit and then that can sort of equivocate into what your results are over timeTikTok ↗
  • At Miami Skin Institute, Dr. Jegasothy evaluates each spot before treatment

Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Manjula Jegasothy

Sourced directly from Dr. Manjula Jegasothy's social posts and replies.

What is post-inflammatory pigmentation and how is it treated?
Post-inflammatory pigmentation is a common skin concern where inflammation (from acne, insect bites, or rashes) heals and leaves behind a dark spot, which can be more difficult to treat than the original irritation. Dr. Jegasothy notes that brightening skincare is evolving beyond exfoliation towards more targeted ingredients and treatment approaches designed to address pigmentation thoughtfully.
Source →
Why are small dark spots on the skin important to treat?
Small dark spots, such as seborrheic keratosis, can significantly affect skin appearance up close, in direct light, and even under makeup, making their thoughtful removal a priority for many patients.
Source →
How does cosmetic hyfrecation work and what are its benefits?
Cosmetic hyfrecation uses a fine electrical current to gently dehydrate treated tissue, such as seborrheic keratosis, while preserving surrounding skin. This method helps minimize the risk of scarring or discoloration. After treatment, temporary pinkness may be visible, with most patients completely healed by week three. Miami Skin Institute provides a proprietary skin-healing cream to minimize recovery time, redness, and prevent infection.
Source →
What is the pre-treatment process for cosmetic hyfrecation?
Before any cosmetic hyfrecation treatment, Dr. Jegasothy evaluates each spot to determine if the procedure is safe and appropriate for the specific area.
Source →
What should patients look for when choosing a dermatologist?
The practice recommends choosing a board-certified dermatologist with the training and experience to treat skin thoughtfully, emphasizing the importance of deep understanding of skin histology, biology, and pathology.
Source →
What is the 'stacked approach' combining Ulthera and BOTOX?
Dr. Jegasothy utilizes a 'stacked approach' combining Ulthera and BOTOX to address concerns like frown lines ('11s') and eyelid wrinkles. BOTOX relaxes muscle activity, while Ulthera tightens skin and increases collagen, resulting in a smoother glabella, improved eyelid wrinkles, and a refreshed upper-face appearance while preserving natural expression.
Source →
What are the long-term effects of UV exposure on skin?
The effects of ultraviolet (UV) exposure are cumulative and can continue to show on the skin even after the summer season. Pigmentation, uneven tone, sun-related texture changes, and collagen breakdown may become more noticeable in the months following prolonged sun exposure. UV exposure stimulates pigment-producing cells and contributes to the gradual breakdown of collagen, an essential protein for skin firmness and elasticity.
Source →
When is the ideal time to address sun damage and restore skin health?
Fall is considered an ideal time to reassess your skin and discuss a personalized restorative plan after summer sun exposure. The best time to begin protecting and restoring your skin is not only before summer but also after it.
Source →
When should I consider treatment for facial redness?
If facial redness, such as 'Miami winter redness,' feels like a permanent part of your complexion, it may be time to explore treatments designed to target it. Dr. Jegasothy believes visible redness can be treated thoughtfully and effectively.
Source →
How does Dr. Jegasothy treat a downturned mouth?
Dr. Jegasothy uses a 'stacked approach' of Ulthera and filler to address a downturned mouth, which can make the lower face look tired, heavy, or sad. Ulthera tightens the lower face, increases collagen production, and lifts sagging tissue. Filler is then strategically placed to elevate mouth corners, restore targeted volume, and soften deeper lines, resulting in a smoother mouth area, a more uplifted expression, and naturally refreshed lower-face definition.
Source →
What are the benefits of Edelweiss in skincare?
Edelweiss is an ingredient Dr. Jegasothy highlights for its barrier protection properties. It helps support the skin barrier, allowing skin to better retain moisture and defend against external irritants that contribute to dryness, redness, and reactivity. Edelweiss is generally tolerable for all skin types, especially sensitive, reactive, or eczema-prone skin, and may offer a calming alternative to traditional antioxidant products when formulated in pH-balanced skincare and makeup.
Source →
Are retinoids effective for stretch marks?
While retinoids can be beneficial for new stretch marks, Dr. Jegasothy finds lasers, such as Fraxel, generally more effective for treating older stretch marks.
Source →
How does Dr. Jegasothy treat scars?
Dr. Jegasothy utilizes Fraxel® ClearAndBrilliant Laser and VBeam® Pulsed Dye Laser to diminish the appearance of post-surgical and traumatic scars. These lasers boost collagen production to improve scar texture and reduce redness.
Source →
What treatments does Dr. Jegasothy offer for flabby underarms?
Dr. Jegasothy offers a combination treatment to eliminate flabby underarms, utilizing Viora® V10 for fat reduction and Ulthera® for skin lifting. Noticeable results can be achieved after just one session.
Source →
How does Dr. Jegasothy treat acne scars?
Dr. Jegasothy uses a combination of Fraxel® and topical Sculptra® for smoothing acne scars, which has been observed to be significantly more effective than Fraxel® alone. This regimen can provide facial smoothness for decades with occasional maintenance treatments.
Source →
Do scars grow differently than normal skin?
Yes, all scars grow faster than normal skin.
Source →
How does topical Sculptra work without injections?
Topical Sculptra, often applied as a mask after laser treatment, does not penetrate the skin in the same way as injected Sculptra, but it is used in combination with Fraxel® to significantly improve acne scar smoothing.
Source →
Can Dr. Jegasothy treat all types of stretch marks?
Yes, Dr. Jegasothy can treat both new pink stretch marks and old stretch marks using non-invasive Fraxel Laser treatments.
Source →
What conditions can be treated with Dr. Jegasothy's VBeam® Pulsed Dye Laser?
Dr. Jegasothy uses the VBeam® Pulsed Dye Laser (specifically the VBeam Perfecta® model, a vascular laser) with unparalleled precision to clear up broken capillaries, other red blemishes, Rosacea, and acne redness, resulting in clear skin with a porcelain-like finish.
Source →
Can Botox achieve a brow lift?
Botox can provide a subtle brow lift. However, for more significant and lasting brow elevation, surgical options or thread lifts are generally required.
Source →
How often do patients typically need to visit Dr. Jegasothy's practice?
It's a misconception that frequent visits are required; most patients visit 2-3 times a year. The frequency is flexible and determined by the patient, with treatments tailored to achieve great results regardless of the chosen schedule, age, skin appearance, or skin type.
Source →
Are Dr. Jegasothy's laser treatments suitable for all skin types, including darker or sensitive skin?
Yes, Dr. Jegasothy's treatments, including laser protocols, are tailored to be effective for every skin type and every age, ensuring suitability even for darker or sensitive skin tones.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2024)

$142

Payments

3

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Manjula Jegasothy received $142 across 3 payments in 2024. That is in the lower half for physicians here — totals this size are typically meals at sponsored talks. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was MERZ NORTH AMERICA, INC..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
