A new study by Missouri School of Journalism researcher Cynthia Frisby found that people perceive a light brown skin tone to be more physically attractive than a pale or dark skin tone. But there is no perfect tan without risks of damaging your skin.

Dr. Khalil A. Khatri, M.D., a Harvard trained dermatologist and cosmetic surgeon, specializing in cosmetic and dermatological laser treatments, is the founder of the Skin & Laser Surgery Center of New England (SLSC), which provides a wide range of comprehensive and personalized services, ranging from general dermatology, cosmetic surgery, injectable fillers, and more Non-Laser Treatment. 

Dr. Khatri has been at the forefront of cosmetic laser surgery for over 25 years, with a personalized approach that has made him one of the most well-respected and in-demand dermatologists in the northeast.

Dr Khatri is a frequently invited speaker/faculty member at many national and international conferences. He has been invited to Brazil, Mexico, Honduras, Italy, Spain, and Dubai, among other countries. He engaged in a two-year fellowship at Harvard, where he exclusively conducted research on lasers.

“We have about 30 laser and other devices that we use. We have state-of-the-art newest technology and do research to develop new lasers and new technologies.”

He is working on developing new technology to treat and remove cellulite and fat. He helped to develop the new generation of lasers to treat wrinkles, acne scars, and melasma by using fractional technology.

When asked about how to protect your skin during the summertime, Dr. Khatri did not hesitate, “Sunblock, sunblock, sunblock. Apply 15 minutes before going out in the sun. Stay in the shade. Go in the sun in early morning and late afternoon/evening. Use minimum SPF 30 for daily use and 50+ if going to be in the sun.”
