If you or someone you love struggles with eczema, you know how frustrating and uncomfortable it can be. The constant itching, redness, and dry patches can interfere with daily life, disrupt sleep, and affect confidence. But the good news is, you don’t have to live with the discomfort. At Gold Skin Care Center, we specialize in helping patients find long-lasting relief through advanced, personalized eczema treatment plans.
Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a chronic skin condition characterized by inflammation, dryness, and intense itching. It can appear anywhere on the body, but common areas include the face, hands, elbows, knees, and neck. Eczema affects people of all ages, but it's particularly common in children.
Eczema isn’t contagious, but it can be persistent and sometimes severe. The skin becomes dry and irritated, and scratching can lead to open wounds, infections, and scarring.
Understanding the root causes and triggers of eczema is essential for effective treatment. While the exact cause is unknown, eczema is believed to be linked to a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Common triggers include:
Each person's eczema is unique, so identifying individual triggers is an important part of managing the condition.
Eczema symptoms can vary widely, but often include:
If you experience any of these symptoms, especially if they worsen or do not respond to over-the-counter treatments, it's time to consult a dermatologist.
At Gold Skin Care Center, we understand how eczema can impact your life. That’s why we take a comprehensive and personalized approach to diagnosis and treatment. Our board-certified dermatologists specialize in treating chronic skin conditions, including all forms of eczema.
What sets us apart?
We offer a wide range of eczema treatments designed to reduce inflammation, soothe the skin, and prevent flare-ups. Your treatment plan may include one or more of the following:
These include corticosteroid creams, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory creams (like calcineurin inhibitors), and barrier repair moisturizers. Our team will recommend the best formulation for your specific skin type and condition severity.
Controlled exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light can significantly improve moderate to severe eczema. At Gold Skin Care Center, we use narrowband UVB therapy, a safe and effective treatment for reducing inflammation and itching.
In cases where topical treatments aren't enough, we may prescribe oral or injectable medications such as antihistamines, corticosteroids, or biologics (like Dupixent) to manage the immune system's response.
We believe education is key to long-term relief. Our team will work with you to identify and avoid your personal eczema triggers. We'll also recommend gentle skincare routines and products to help you protect and nourish your skin.
Since allergens are common eczema triggers, we may suggest patch testing or other forms of allergy testing to identify any environmental or food sensitivities that could be contributing to flare-ups.

If you've tried every cleanser, serum, or prescription and still feel like acne is winning, there’s another solution. Light-based acne therapy, specifically using blue and red light, has become a powerful and science-backed solution for treating stubborn breakouts, inflammation, and acne scarring. At Gold Skin Care Center, we're proud to offer this cutting-edge treatment to help you finally get the clearer, healthier skin you deserve.
Blue and red light therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to target different aspects of acne formation and skin inflammation, without the need for oral medications or harsh topicals. It’s gentle, effective, and works well for both teens and adults with mild to moderate acne.
This form of therapy is especially appealing to patients seeking a non-drug, non-invasive solution that requires little to no downtime.
Blue light penetrates the upper layers of the skin and directly targets the Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) bacteria responsible for causing acne. When blue light interacts with this bacteria, it produces oxygen radicals that destroy the bacterial cells, leading to a noticeable reduction in breakouts over time.
Key benefits of blue light therapy:
Red light penetrates deeper than blue light and helps to calm inflammation and promote skin healing. It's incredibly effective at reducing acne-related redness, stimulating collagen production, and even softening the appearance of acne scars.
Key benefits of red light therapy:
At Gold Skin Care Center, we often use a combination of blue and red light therapy to offer a holistic approach. While blue light attacks the bacteria that cause acne, red light calms the inflammation and supports skin repair.
This dual-action strategy allows us to:
Each light therapy session typically lasts 15–30 minutes, depending on your skin condition and treatment area. Most patients undergo a series of treatments, spaced 1–2 times per week, for optimal results. You can relax comfortably under the light panels while the device does its work—no pain, no downtime.
Most patients begin seeing improvement within 4–6 weeks, though individual results vary.
This treatment is ideal for people who:
It’s also an excellent option for teens and young adults, especially those concerned about long-term use of acne medications or whose skin reacts poorly to topical treatments.
Under the direction of Dr. Michael H. Gold, Gold Skin Care Center has built a national reputation for offering the latest in light and laser-based skin therapies. Our team of dermatology professionals is trained to tailor every acne treatment to the unique needs of your skin.
With over three decades of experience in both clinical dermatology and cosmetic skincare, Dr. Gold ensures that every patient receives evidence-based, compassionate care—backed by the most advanced technology available.
Is it safe for all skin types? Yes, both blue and red light therapies are safe for all skin tones and types, with minimal to no side effects.
Will I need multiple sessions? For best results, a series of sessions is recommended. Maintenance treatments may also help keep skin clear long-term.
Does it hurt? Not at all. Light therapy is pain-free and relaxing, with most patients reporting a warm, soothing sensation during treatment.
Can I combine this with other acne treatments? Yes! Light therapy can enhance the effectiveness of topical or oral treatments and is often used in conjunction with chemical peels or skincare regimens.
Don’t let acne control your confidence. Whether you’ve tried everything or are just beginning your skincare journey, light-based acne therapy at Gold Skin Care Center may be the gentle, effective solution you’ve been searching for.

If you’ve been battling persistent acne and are tired of medications, harsh topicals, or treatments that only offer short-term relief, you’re not alone. Millions of people struggle to find a lasting solution. Enter Cutera AviClear: the first and only FDA-cleared energy-based device for treating mild, moderate, and severe acne. At Gold Skin Care Center, we’re proud to offer this cutting-edge treatment that targets acne at its source.
Unlike traditional acne treatments that focus on surface symptoms or rely on medication, AviClear uses advanced laser technology to target the root cause: overactive sebaceous glands. These glands produce the oil (sebum) that clogs pores and leads to breakouts. By safely and selectively targeting these glands, AviClear reduces oil production — without damaging the skin or relying on pharmaceuticals.
Over a series of treatments, this reduction in oil production leads to:
AviClear is ideal for patients looking for a non-drug, long-lasting solution to acne. It’s a game-changer for teens and adults alike who want clearer skin without the side effects of oral medications like antibiotics or isotretinoin.
Led by Dr. Michael H. Gold, a pioneer in laser and cosmetic dermatology, Gold Skin Care Center stays at the forefront of acne treatment innovations. We were among the first in the region to introduce AviClear because we believe in offering our patients safe, effective, and scientifically-backed solutions for healthy skin.
Each AviClear session at Gold Skin Care Center is straightforward and comfortable. Here’s a quick look at what to expect:
A complete treatment plan typically involves three sessions spaced about one month apart, though we tailor every plan based on individual skin needs.
One of the most compelling reasons to choose AviClear is its long-lasting results. Because the laser targets the sebaceous glands directly, patients often experience months or even years of acne improvement following their treatment series.
Unlike medications that must be taken daily or topicals that can irritate the skin, AviClear offers:
Is AviClear painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during treatment. The device includes cooling technology for added comfort.
How soon will I see results?
Many patients notice improvement within a few weeks, with more dramatic results appearing after the third session.
Can I use AviClear if I have sensitive skin?
Yes, it’s safe and effective for all skin types, including sensitive and darker skin tones.
Will I need maintenance treatments?
While many patients enjoy long-lasting results, occasional touch-ups may be recommended depending on your skin's needs.
Is AviClear safe for teens?
Yes! AviClear is FDA-cleared for use on adolescents aged 12 and older, making it an excellent option for teenage acne.
If you’re looking for a proven, drug-free solution that delivers long-lasting results, AviClear at Gold Skin Care Center could be the answer you’ve been searching for.
If you’ve been living with rosacea, you know how frustrating and stubborn this skin condition can be. Redness, bumps, inflammation, and flare-ups that seem to strike at the worst times—rosacea is more than just a cosmetic concern. Fortunately, a clearer complexion may be closer than you think. One of the most promising innovations in rosacea treatment today is blue light therapy—a safe, non-invasive option that helps reduce inflammation and acne-like breakouts.
At Gold Skin Care Center in Nashville, we offer advanced blue light therapy as part of our comprehensive rosacea treatment options. In this blog, we’ll explore how this therapy works, who it’s best for, and how it fits into a larger strategy for calmer, clearer skin.
Blue light therapy uses specific wavelengths of visible light to penetrate the skin and target bacteria and inflammation. While it’s widely known for treating acne, this technology has also shown significant benefits for people with acne-like rosacea, especially those with inflammatory pustules and papules.
Unlike topical or oral medications, blue light therapy works from the outside in, with no needles or downtime. That makes it an ideal non-invasive skin therapy for those seeking alternatives to prescriptions—or for those wanting to enhance their existing treatment regimen.
Rosacea isn’t the same for everyone. Some patients struggle more with redness and flushing, while others experience breakouts that mimic acne. For inflammatory rosacea, blue light therapy offers several key benefits:
The light helps calm the skin while also killing bacteria that may contribute to breakouts. Over time, patients often report a more even skin tone, fewer bumps, and less irritation.
Blue light therapy is best suited for those with mild to moderate rosacea—especially patients who experience acne-like symptoms or chronic inflammation. It's also a great option for people looking to:
Patients with highly sensitive skin or visible blood vessels (telangiectasia) may also benefit—but should consult with a dermatologist to ensure the treatment is right for their skin type.
At Gold Skin Care Center, blue light therapy is performed in a comfortable, in-office setting. Here’s what you can expect:
Treatment plans may vary based on your skin’s condition, but many patients benefit from a series of sessions spaced over several weeks for optimal results.
No treatment is complete without daily care. Our experts at Gold Skin Care Center provide personalized guidance on:
When you combine smart habits with proven therapies like blue light, you can dramatically reduce flare-ups and boost long-term skin health.
Our team is committed to providing comprehensive, science-backed care for rosacea patients. When you choose Gold Skin Care Center, you get:
We treat every patient with care, understanding, and a commitment to real improvement.

Schedule your consultation at Gold Skin Care Center today and discover how our expert-led treatments can help you achieve a calmer, clearer complexion.
Living with rosacea can feel like a daily battle—redness, irritation, and visible blood vessels often take a toll not just on your skin, but on your confidence too. If you’ve tried creams, cleansers, and medications with little relief, it may be time to explore advanced solutions that get to the root of the problem. At Gold Skin Care Center in Nashville, we offer cutting-edge laser and light treatments for rosacea designed to reduce redness, calm inflammation, and restore your skin’s natural balance.
In this blog, we’ll dive into the most effective non-invasive options available, including VBeam, IPL, Aerolase, AdvaTx, and BBL. These technologies have transformed the way dermatologists treat chronic facial redness—and they could be the answer you've been searching for.
Topical treatments and oral medications can help manage rosacea symptoms, but they often fall short when it comes to persistent redness, flushing, or visible blood vessels. That’s where laser and light therapy comes in.
These treatments target the underlying vascular structures and inflammation associated with rosacea—providing long-term relief and visible skin improvements with minimal downtime.
Benefits include:
VBeam is a pulsed dye laser specifically designed to treat vascular skin conditions. It’s one of the most trusted and effective lasers for rosacea-related redness.
How it works:
Patients usually see improvement after just a few sessions, and the treatment is safe for most skin types.
IPL for redness is another popular treatment that uses broad-spectrum light to target pigmentation and vascular issues.
Unlike lasers, which emit one wavelength, IPL uses multiple wavelengths to reach various layers of the skin. It’s highly customizable and works well for:
With minimal discomfort and a short recovery period, IPL is ideal for patients looking for a well-rounded, low-maintenance solution.
Aerolase is a new-generation laser that delivers energy deep into the skin while keeping the surface cool and comfortable.
Why rosacea patients love it:
It’s fast, virtually painless, and requires no downtime—perfect for busy patients who want fast results without disruption.
AdvaTx combines yellow and infrared laser wavelengths to address both surface redness and deeper inflammation. This makes it ideal for treating complex rosacea cases that include flushing, broken vessels, and textural issues.
Highlights:
AdvaTx is particularly effective when redness is accompanied by acne-like breakouts—making it a powerful dual-action treatment.
BroadBand Light (BBL) is an advanced form of IPL with customizable settings to treat a range of skin concerns.
For rosacea, BBL can:
Many patients incorporate BBL into seasonal maintenance routines to keep redness in check and skin looking refreshed year-round.
Your treatment plan will be personalized based on your rosacea subtype, skin tone, and goals. Here’s a general idea of what the process involves:
Most laser and light therapies work best as a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart.
Laser and light therapy can be even more effective when paired with a holistic treatment plan, including:
At Gold Skin Care, we take a comprehensive approach to rosacea treatment, giving you all the tools to calm your skin and prevent future flare-ups.

Living with rosacea means learning how to care for your skin with intention, gentleness, and expert guidance. This chronic skin condition—characterized by facial redness, visible blood vessels, and occasional bumps or flare-ups—can be frustrating, especially when everyday skin products or environmental triggers cause irritation.
At Gold Skin Care Center in Nashville, our board-certified dermatologists specialize in treating rosacea and helping patients regain control of their skin and confidence. In honor of your skin health, we’re sharing expert-backed rosacea skin care tips to help reduce inflammation, manage flare-ups, and build a routine your skin will love.
Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that typically affects the central face—cheeks, nose, forehead, and chin. Symptoms vary from person to person but often include:
It tends to come in cycles of flare-ups and remissions, often triggered by stress, spicy foods, alcohol, heat, cold, sun exposure, or skincare products.
Understanding what sparks your flare-ups is the first step toward prevention. Keeping a rosacea diary can help you spot patterns in food, weather, skincare, and lifestyle habits that lead to irritation.
Common rosacea triggers include:
At Gold Skin Care Center, we can help you assess and manage these triggers with personalized strategies and dermatologic insight.
Rosacea-prone skin is highly sensitive, so sticking to a gentle skin care routine is essential. Look for products that are fragrance-free, alcohol-free, and formulated for sensitive skin.
Skincare do’s for rosacea:
Skincare don’ts:
Sun exposure is one of the most common and intense triggers for rosacea flare-ups. Protecting your skin from UV rays is not optional—it’s essential.
What to look for in sunscreen:
Applying sunscreen daily—even on cloudy days—can help prevent flare-ups and minimize redness. Wearing a wide-brimmed hat and seeking shade also adds extra protection.
Stress isn’t just bad for your mental health—it’s a known trigger for rosacea. Learning to manage emotional triggers is a valuable step toward keeping your skin calm.
Stress-busting strategies:
At Gold Skin Care, we often discuss the stress-rosacea connection with our patients and offer support as part of a holistic treatment plan.
Rosacea isn’t one-size-fits-all—and your treatment shouldn’t be either. Working with an experienced rosacea dermatologist in Nashville can make all the difference.

As we age, our skin naturally undergoes changes. It loses elasticity, fine lines and wrinkles appear, and our once smooth, youthful texture begins to show signs of wear. For many people, these changes can feel frustrating, but the good news is that fractional resurfacing offers a non-invasive way to improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles, and stimulate collagen production—ultimately giving your skin a more youthful appearance. In this blog, we’ll explore the magic of fractional resurfacing, how it works, and why it’s one of the best treatments for turning back the clock on aging skin.
Fractional resurfacing is a skin treatment that uses a laser to target small fractions (or sections) of the skin, stimulating collagen production and improving skin texture. Unlike traditional laser resurfacing, which treats the entire surface of the skin, fractional resurfacing creates microscopic thermal zones that penetrate deeply into the skin’s layers, leaving healthy skin around the treated areas to speed up recovery.
This method of skin resurfacing is highly effective because it allows for faster healing and more controlled results, especially for people who want to see improvements in skin texture, wrinkles, and fine lines without undergoing invasive surgery.
Fractional resurfacing works by using laser energy to create tiny, controlled wounds in the skin. These microscopic wounds stimulate the body’s natural healing process, promoting the production of collagen and elastin, the two key proteins that help keep skin looking firm, smooth, and youthful.
As the skin heals, it sheds old, damaged cells and replaces them with fresh, healthy cells. Over time, this leads to smoother skin, improved texture, and the reduction of wrinkles and age spots. In essence, fractional resurfacing encourages your skin to renew itself, giving you a fresher and more youthful appearance without the need for extensive downtime.
If you’re looking for a way to reduce wrinkles, improve skin texture, and regain a more youthful glow, fractional resurfacing could be the answer. Here are some of the most significant benefits of this treatment:
As we age, the skin’s collagen production slows down, leading to the formation of wrinkles and fine lines. Fractional resurfacing stimulates the production of new collagen, which helps smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, particularly around areas that are prone to aging, such as the forehead, eyes, and mouth.
Over a series of treatments, you’ll begin to notice that wrinkles become less noticeable, and your skin looks firmer and smoother. This is a key reason why fractional resurfacing is often used as a non-invasive alternative to surgical procedures like facelifts.
Fractional resurfacing is also an excellent treatment for improving skin texture. If you have rough or uneven skin, this treatment can help by stimulating new skin growth that’s smoother and more uniform.
Whether your skin has been affected by sun damage, acne scars, or simply the passage of time, fractional resurfacing can help smooth out the skin’s surface and restore a more even tone. This process can be particularly beneficial for those who have uneven pigmentation or skin discoloration caused by years of sun exposure.
Collagen is a vital protein that helps keep our skin firm and youthful. As we age, our natural collagen production decreases, which contributes to the sagging and wrinkling of the skin. Fractional resurfacing stimulates the body’s collagen production, giving the skin a firmer, plumper appearance.
By increasing collagen levels, fractional resurfacing not only reduces wrinkles but also enhances the skin’s elasticity, making it look younger and healthier overall.
One of the best things about fractional resurfacing is that it’s a non-invasive treatment. Unlike traditional surgical procedures like facelifts, fractional resurfacing doesn’t require cuts or stitches. This means you can achieve dramatic skin improvements without the need for a lengthy recovery time.
After the treatment, most patients experience mild redness and swelling, similar to a mild sunburn, but these side effects usually subside within a few hours to a day. Most people can return to their normal activities within a few days, depending on the extent of the treatment.
Fractional resurfacing can be customized to treat a variety of skin concerns for different skin types. Whether you have fair, medium, or dark skin, fractional resurfacing is designed to work safely and effectively on all skin tones. This is a huge advantage, as some other skin treatments may not be suitable for people with darker skin tones due to the risk of pigmentation changes.
If you’re considering fractional resurfacing, here’s what you can expect during your treatment:
Before undergoing fractional resurfacing, you’ll have a consultation with a dermatologist or licensed practitioner. During this session, your practitioner will assess your skin and discuss your goals. They’ll also go over the procedure, potential risks, and what results you can expect.
On the day of the treatment, a topical numbing cream will be applied to the treatment area to minimize discomfort. Once the skin is numb, a fractional laser will be used to treat the targeted areas of your skin.
The procedure typically takes 20-30 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. You may feel a mild tingling or heat during the procedure, but the numbing cream will keep you comfortable.
After the treatment, you may notice redness and swelling, but this typically resolves within a few hours. You’ll be given aftercare instructions, which may include avoiding direct sun exposure and using gentle skincare products. It’s important to follow these instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.
While you may notice some improvement immediately after the treatment, the best results will appear after a few weeks as your body begins to produce more collagen. For optimal results, most patients require 3-4 treatments spaced a few weeks apart.
At Gold Skin Care Center, we offer fractional resurfacing treatments tailored to your unique needs. With Dr. Michael Gold’s expertise and years of experience in dermatology and aesthetic treatments, you can trust that you’ll receive the highest quality care.
Whether you’re looking to reduce wrinkles, improve skin texture, or simply restore a youthful glow, fractional resurfacing is an excellent option. Our team at Gold Skin Care Center uses the latest technology to provide effective, non-invasive treatments that deliver impressive results.

In this blog, we’ll take a closer look at how Gold Skin Care Center addresses skincare issues at every stage of life—whether it’s treating eczema in kids, managing acne in teens, or reducing age spots in older adults—and provide practical advice for keeping your skin healthy and radiant as you age.
As parents, one of the biggest worries is the health of your child's skin. Children’s skin is thinner and more sensitive, which makes it more susceptible to various skin conditions. Whether it’s eczema, acne, or rashes, pediatric skincare needs to be gentle and effective.
Since children's skin is more delicate and prone to irritation, it’s essential to provide gentle and specialized care. At Gold Skin Care Center, we focus on providing treatments that are both safe and effective, ensuring your child’s skin stays healthy as they grow.
During the teenage years, hormonal changes can wreak havoc on the skin, leading to acne and other issues. If you’re the parent of a teen who’s struggling with acne or other skin problems, you know how tough it can be on their confidence. At Gold Skin Care Center, we offer a variety of treatments that help teens manage their skin and keep their confidence high.
We also educate teens about the importance of a solid skincare routine. This includes daily cleansing, moisturizing, and using sunscreen to protect the skin from further damage. Proper skincare habits can make a big difference in preventing acne and other skin issues.
As we enter adulthood, skin concerns evolve. Some people still deal with acne well into their 30s, while others start noticing the first signs of aging, like fine lines and sunspots. At Gold Skin Care Center, we help adults navigate these changes with tailored treatments that address everything from acne to anti-aging.
As we get older, our skin becomes thinner, drier, and more prone to wrinkles and sagging. At Gold Skin Care Center, we specialize in treating the unique needs of aging skin. Whether you’re concerned about dryness, sun damage, or age spots, we provide solutions that help rejuvenate and restore the appearance of your skin.
We also offer rejuvenating treatments like microneedling and dermal fillers, which restore volume and texture to aging skin. These procedures can make a noticeable difference in how your skin looks and feels.
