MEET
DR. NAANA BOAKYE
I'm Dr. Naana Boakye, MPH, FAAD, MSCP, a board certified dermatologist, Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, and LongevityDoc certified physician, as well as a skincare formulator, entrepreneur, author, and proud mom of two. I'm dedicated to helping individuals 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 and the impact of environmental factors on skin health. This is the foundation of what I call Lifestyle Dermatology™, an approach I developed that treats skin health as inseparable from diet, sleep, stress, and daily habits. As a Fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology, I've also pursued additional certifications in menopause care and longevity medicine, allowing me to support patients through hormonal changes and long term wellness, not just their skin.
As the founder of Bergen Dermatology in Hackensack, New Jersey, I specialize in treating inflammatory conditions such as acne, eczema; along with hyperpigmentation, and signs of aging, especially in melanated and skin of color populations.
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 and 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 healthy radiant skin, 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.
