"The scalp is simply an extension of the skin, and you need to treat the scalp with the same level of care as the face!
Whether you have scalp problems or not, everybody should nourish the scalp, which ultimately leads to healthy and stronger hair”, says Dr. Francesca Fusco, the acclaimed skin care expert, who has been practicing medical and cosmetic dermatology in New York City since 1989. An associate Dermatologist at the Wexler Dermatology Group for nearly a decade, Dr. Fusco's
Manhattan-based practice not only covers the range of dermatological diseases and conditions, but she is also widely recognized for her emphasis on rejuvenation of the skin. Her approach is based on a philosophy that with early intervention and non-invasive treatments, her patients can delay or even avoid plastic surgery.

Currently, Dr. Fusco is among the leading experts in the application of fillers (collagen, hydraulic acid, sculptra and lipotransfer), botox, lasers, and phototherapy to rejuvenate aged skin and its associated conditions, such as brown spots, scars, and blood vessel abnormalities.

She also performs liposuction. Dr. Fusco continues to train medical students and dermatology residents in her speciality as both an assistant Clinical Professor of Dermatology and assistant attending Physician at the Mt. Sinai School of medicine, where she also directs an outpatient clinic. She is also an assistant attending Physician at Beth Israel medical Centre.
