About Dr. Julie Kenner, MD, PhD, FAAD
Julie Kenner MD-PhD, FAAD is a board-certified dermatologist dermatologist providing care to patients in Monterey, CA and online.
Dr. Kenner offers both prescription and non-prescription skin products to help her patients achieve their skin’s optimal health and beauty, regardless of preexisting conditions.
Dr. Kenner has created a simple educational tool called the Topical Nutritional Pyramid™. This framework, which categorizes and describes the eight basic groupings of skin rejuvenation products, is loosely fashioned after the familiar “food pyramid”, and has been designed to educate and empower patients to make healthy choices for their “skin diet”. Taking into consideration their desires and baseline skin conditions, patients can work with their dermatologist to design a personalized optimal skin care regimen that makes sense for a lifetime of healthy and beautiful skin.
