DR. NAANA BOAKYE
I’m Dr. Naana Boakye, a board-certified dermatologist, skincare formulator, entrepreneur, author, and proud mom of two. With a strong foundation in medical dermatology and public health, I’m dedicated to helping people achieve healthy, radiant skin through an integrative, evidence-based approach.
After earning my MD from Temple University and a Master of Public Health in Epidemiology from George Washington University, I’ve combined clinical expertise with a deep understanding of skin biology, lifestyle medicine, and the impact of environmental factors on skin health.
As the founder of Bergen Dermatology in Hackensack, New Jersey, I specialize in treating acne, eczema, hyperpigmentation, and signs of aging—especially in melanated and skin of color populations. I also offer teledermatology services, ensuring expert care is accessible from anywhere.
In addition to clinical work, I’ve collaborated with notable celebrities like John Legend (Loved01), Naomi Osaka (KINLÒ), and Gabrielle Union & Dwyane Wade (Proudly) to formulate inclusive skincare lines rooted in science and barrier repair. These projects reflect my commitment to effective, plant-based ingredients that address pigmentation, dryness in people of color.
My own skincare brand, Dr. Naana Boakye, embodies my pro-aging philosophy, emphasizing hydration, barrier integrity, and simplified routines tailored for all skin tones.
Through media, patient care, and education, I empower people to embrace their skin’s journey—from the inside out. Whether you're managing chronic skin conditions or seeking a healthy glow, I believe in treating the whole person—not just the skin.

BOOK REVIEW
INSIDE OUT BEAUTY BY DR. NAANA
Such a great read. Dr. Boakye offers so much advice in regard to diet, exercise, acne, hyperpigmentation and more. I love Dr. Boakye’s holistic approach to beauty coupled with personal stories that make this book so enjoyable to read. I didn’t realize how much my overall lifestyle was impacting my skin. I use topical retinoid for acne but that only seems to do so much when I don’t live a healthy lifestyle. I seriously need to adapt some of the lifestyle changes that Dr. Boakye mentions. This book is truly a gift and definitely a worthwhile purchase!

Walking into a doctor’s office knowing the doctor looks like me already gives me a boost of confidence and comfortability. Dr B. is my GO TO doctor. I was seeing her for a while before moving to L.A., but because I swear by her, I will literally fly across the country to see her. I trust her! The improvements on my skin are very visible and definitely helps with my confidence. She’s very knowledgeable and will take the time to explain everything to you. She doesn’t rush you out the door like most doctors do and will answer any questions you may have.
