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

Approach

  • This is why we don’t think of laser settings as a recipe that can simply be copied and reproduced elsewhere
  • Sometimes the best cosmetic treatment is the one we don’t do
  • The initial consultation for resurfacing should focus on the desired improvements rather than the strength of the treatment.
  • Treatment plans at Dermatology Circle are chosen specifically for the individual's skin.

Specialization

  • The practice is led by a Dermatologist.
  • The practice focuses on aesthetic services.
  • The practice focuses on hair longevity.
  • The practice aims for natural results.

Consultation

  • And occasionally it means saying, “You really don’t need this procedure

Recovery guidance

  • Dr. Viktoryia Kazlouskaya's practice advises that usually no specific care is needed after rosacea treatment, beyond daily sunscreen use.

About

Dr. Viktoryia Kazlouskaya is a Board Certified Dermatologist practicing in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Her dermatologist-led practice focuses on aesthetic services and hair longevity, aiming for natural, evidence-based results. Dr. Kazlouskaya emphasizes that effective treatment begins with an accurate diagnosis, recognizing that dermatologic conditions don't always follow classic textbook pictures. She considers skin tone, morphology, symptoms, and clinical history for a thorough assessment. In aesthetic dermatology, which she views as a medical field, Dr. Kazlouskaya believes the most effective cosmetic treatment can sometimes be no treatment at all, and her practice advises patients when a procedure isn't necessary. Treatment plans are developed based on an individual's face, anatomy, and long-term suitability. She offers procedures like Botox, Avéli Cellulite Treatment, CO2 Laser Resurfacing, and Vbeam Laser Treatment. For hair loss, she utilizes digital scalp analysis and trichoscopy to distinguish between different types, understanding that hair restoration involves a combination of treatments and consistent effort. She also observes the physical changes related to GLP-1 medications.

Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Viktoryia Kazlouskaya

Sourced directly from Dr. Viktoryia Kazlouskaya's social posts and replies.

What is Dr. Kazlouskaya's approach to acne and scar treatment?
Dr. Kazlouskaya emphasizes that clearer skin isn't always the final goal of acne treatment; the focus often shifts to managing scars once active acne is controlled. The recommended sequence is to first stop the active disease (e.g., with Isotretinoin, which treats active acne but does not erase existing scars), then decide on subsequent improvements. Acne scars vary in type, and treatment options depend on scar type and skin characteristics. These may include resurfacing (like CO2 laser), microneedling, subcision, injectable treatments, or a combination approach. It's also understood that patients may not pursue scar treatment immediately due to financial reasons, and dermatology treatments do not always have to happen all at once.
How does follicular eczema present?
Follicular eczema presents with numerous tiny bumps centered around the hair follicles and very little obvious redness, unlike the classic red, scaly patches often associated with eczema.
What is Dr. Kazlouskaya's approach to cellulite and body contouring?
Dr. Kazlouskaya emphasizes that not all conditions appearing as cellulite are the same problem; skin laxity and true structural cellulite dimples can look similar but require different treatments. Effective treatment starts with an accurate diagnosis. A diagnostic clue for differentiating cellulite is observing gluteal muscle contraction: a true tethered dimple may remain visible. For true tethered dimples, Avéli cellulite treatment is offered. Avéli is a minimally invasive approach that allows the physician to identify and release specific fibrous septa responsible for individual cellulite dimples. It specifically treats cellulite dimples and is not a treatment for generalized skin laxity. Body-contouring consultations begin with determining the actual cause of the contour irregularity, as treating laxity as cellulite or vice-versa is unlikely to produce expected results.
What is Dr. Kazlouskaya's approach to CO2 Laser Resurfacing?
Dr. Kazlouskaya offers a range of CO2 resurfacing treatments, from lighter fractional to deeper resurfacing, selected according to the patient's skin, specific concerns, and tolerance for recovery time. CO2 laser resurfacing is not a single, uniform treatment. Aggressive resurfacing addresses deeper wrinkles, significant photodamage, and certain acne scars, with a correspondingly more involved recovery. Lighter resurfacing is used for texture, early signs of aging, and overall skin quality, aiming for improvement without unnecessarily aggressive treatment. Autumn and winter are ideal times for resurfacing due to generally less intense sun exposure. The initial consultation focuses on desired improvements, not just treatment strength. Dr. Kazlouskaya emphasizes that while the device provides energy, the physician determines how to effectively use it; identical laser settings don't guarantee the same result in different hands or on different skin. Key factors include depth, density, number of passes, overlap, treatment pattern, tissue response, knowing when to stop, patient selection, preparation, aftercare, and complication management.
How does Dr. Kazlouskaya diagnose hair loss?
Dr. Kazlouskaya emphasizes that hair loss often reveals a detailed story upon closer examination. Her comprehensive hair-loss evaluation includes digital scalp analysis and trichoscopy, which allow her to look beyond what is visible in the mirror. These tools are used to examine hair density, shaft variation, miniaturization, and scalp findings, helping to distinguish different types of hair loss.
How does Dr. Kazlouskaya treat facial redness and visible vessels?
Facial redness can stem from various causes including visible blood vessels, persistent vascular redness, rosacea, inflammation, acne, Demodex, or photodamage. Dr. Kazlouskaya offers a range of treatments including Vbeam, IPL, long-pulsed Nd:YAG, medical therapy, or a carefully selected combination. The specific device matters, and treatment selection depends on the diagnosis, vessel characteristics, skin tone, pigmentation, and clinical presentation. Vbeam, a pulsed dye laser, specifically targets blood vessels and is useful for persistent redness, telangiectasias, and visible facial vessels. IPL can be a better choice when redness is accompanied by brown spots, photodamage, and uneven pigmentation. The goal is a calmer, clearer, more even complexion, with treatment plans chosen specifically for the individual's skin.
What is Dr. Kazlouskaya's philosophy on hair loss treatment?
Dr. Kazlouskaya emphasizes that hair restoration is rarely about finding one 'miracle' treatment; instead, it involves understanding the biology, choosing the right combination, and staying consistent. Hair-loss treatment does not always have to be an all-or-nothing approach. For selected patients who don’t want or aren’t good candidates for an oral DHT blocker, localized treatments like Dutasteride mesotherapy (delivering dutasteride directly into the scalp to inhibit DHT) may be discussed. Treatment recommendations always depend on diagnosis and medical history.
What should I expect during and after Vbeam laser treatment?
Vbeam treatment is relatively quick and can feel slightly uncomfortable, though most patients do not need numbing. For many settings, aftercare is minimal, involving gentle skincare and diligent sun protection. Temporary redness or swelling can occur, and bruising is possible with more aggressive settings. Most patients need a series of treatments, as one session is unlikely to erase years of redness. Vbeam can treat the vascular component of rosacea, but it does not 'cure' rosacea. If rosacea also involves bumps, pustules, sensitivity, or other symptoms, those may require a separate treatment plan. The best laser treatment for rosacea involves choosing the right patient, settings, and treatment strategy, not just owning the right device.
What are the considerations for low-dose Isotretinoin (Accutane) treatment?
While low-dose Isotretinoin is associated with perceived benefits like clearer skin, smaller doses, and often fewer side effects, there is a trade-off. The duration of treatment is usually longer, with some patients staying on Isotretinoin for a year or two. Low-dose does not mean low maintenance; regular dermatology visits are still required, and in the USA, dermatologists are legally allowed to prescribe only 30-day prescriptions. Pregnancy prevention and testing requirements still apply, and blood work may still be appropriate (though in healthy patients, it generally does not need to be performed every month). Isotretinoin cannot be used during pregnancy, so for women planning a pregnancy, the timing deserves particular consideration, as a prolonged course may affect when treatment comfortably fits into their plans. Ultimately, a lower dose may mean a longer course, more appointments, and a greater time and financial burden.
What is Dr. Kazlouskaya's perspective on GLP-1 related hair loss?
Dr. Kazlouskaya observes a complicated picture regarding hair loss after starting GLP-1 medications, noting that 'Ozempic hair loss' is not a diagnosis. Telogen effluvium, a temporary shift in the hair cycle, can follow significant weight loss, nutritional changes, illness, or other physiologic stress, and a sudden hair shed can make previously subtle pattern hair loss much more visible. It's also possible for other hair loss processes, such as alopecia areata, to occur simultaneously. A single patient can experience two or even three types of hair loss simultaneously, and distinguishing between them is crucial because their treatments are not interchangeable.

What areas of care does Dr. Viktoryia Kazlouskaya cater to?
Dr. Kazlouskaya's areas of care include general dermatology, cosmetic dermatology, and dermatopathology. She treats a wide range of conditions, including acne, rashes, skin infections (like ringworm and athlete's foot), dry skin, hair loss (alopecia), pemphigoid, melanoma, and seborrheic dermatitis. She also performs cosmetic procedures such as Botox and fillers. Her practice focuses on hair longevity, aims for natural and evidence-based results. She emphasizes that effective treatment starts with an accurate diagnosis of the problem, and that dermatologic conditions do not always follow the 'classic' textbook picture. A thorough assessment considers skin tone, morphology, symptoms, and clinical history. She understands that dermatology treatments do not always have to happen all at once, and it is completely reasonable for patients not to pursue scar treatment immediately due to financial reasons. Dr. Kazlouskaya has special expertise in diagnosing follicular eczema, which can be easily missed, particularly in children and patients with darker skin tones. Her treatment plans are chosen specifically for the individual's skin, with recommendations depending on diagnosis and medical history. In aesthetic dermatology, which she views fundamentally as a medical field, she believes the most effective cosmetic treatment can sometimes be no treatment at all. Her practice occasionally advises patients when a procedure is not necessary, considering this a core function of the consultation. Cosmetic treatment plans are developed based on the individual's face, anatomy, proportions, and long-term suitability, rather than solely on patient requests.
