Dr. Pierre-Louis knows evidence-based, effective skincare that will exceed your skin care and visible wellness goals. This is the reason for the launch of Equation Med Spa & Skin Care, committed to solving the skincare problem by adding dermatology expertise derived from nature and science for the healthiest you.
