Conditions and Aesthetic Concerns We Treat in Pinecrest, FL
Find the Right Starting Point for Your Skin, Hair, or Wellness Concern
R&R Skin and Aesthetics evaluates skin and aesthetic concerns in Pinecrest before recommending any treatment. This page helps you understand which concerns R&R addresses, how those concerns connect to specific services or condition pages, and what to expect at an in-person assessment. It is intended to help you find the right starting point, not to diagnose or prescribe.
R&R’s nurse practitioners, Krystal Leon, MSN, APRN, FNP-BC, and Giselle Fernandez, MSN, APRN, FNP-C, evaluate the skin concerns patients present during an individualized in-person assessment. Not every concern starts in the same place, and not every service fits every patient. An assessment determines the right path forward.

Why Evaluation Matters
Two patients presenting with similar-looking concerns may have different underlying contributors and require entirely different approaches. Over-the-counter products and self-selected treatments address surface appearances without identifying what is actually driving the concern. An in-person assessment at R&R identifies the pattern, contributing factors, and starting point before recommending any service. This protects patients from treatment that is inappropriate for their skin type, tone, or medical history.
The Assessment Process
At R&R, every patient begins with a clinical evaluation before we recommend any treatment or service. Your clinician reviews:
- The presenting concern, pattern, and history
- Fitzpatrick skin classification and skin characteristics
- Relevant health history and current medications
- Prior treatments and their outcomes
- Whether clinical intervention or homecare modification is the appropriate starting point
This evaluation determines which service category or condition page is the right next step, or whether a homecare adjustment is recommended first.
