Meet Desert Bloom
Dr. Natalya Borakowski, NMD
Dr. Natalya Borakowski, NMD is a naturopathic medical doctor and the founder of Desert Bloom Skin Care in Scottsdale, Arizona, which she opened in 2008. She has practiced aesthetic medicine for 18 years, with a focus on thread lifts, injectables, laser treatments and advanced skin conditions.
How does Dr. Borakowski approach treatment?
Dr. Borakowski plans every treatment around the person in front of her. Two patients with the same skin condition often need different care, and the most effective treatment is not always the most expensive or the most invasive one. Healthy skin also depends on a consistent home routine, balanced nutrition and enough sleep, so those are part of the plan too.
I believe in an individualized approach, as there is no treatment that works for every client, even with similar skin conditions. Additionally, I do not believe that most effective treatments should always be most expensive or most invasive.
