Allow me to re-introduce myself - it’s been a minute 🫶. I’m Dr. Janelle Vega, I’m 43 years old, a proud wife and mother of 3 children (3 and under, including twin girls and my beautiful boy). I consider myself Cuban-American 🇨🇺🇺🇸, as both my parents immigrated to the US as children, and I grew up speaking Spanglish, as do my children.
I have been a board-certified dermatologist going on 13 years now (eek!). I went to medical school at the University of Florida 🐊 , did an internal medicine internship at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston (teaching hospital for Harvard Medical school), a year of research and my first year of dermatology residency at the University of Puerto Rico, and finished my last two years of dermatology residency at the University of Miami (13 years of training if you’re trying to count 😂).
I wanted to be a dermatologist for as long as I can remember - it may
have something to do with having a dermatologist mom 👩🏻⚕️, and I have always had the personal mission of being my own experiment in anti-aging and maintenance. I promise I have had most, if not all the treatments I offer and have tried ALL the skincare 😂.
My goal for my patients is to help them maintain their natural beauty, restore changes that happen over time, help balance their features, improve skin health with lasers that will create a glowy, more even skin tone, as well as guide them to use the right skin care to maintain their results.
I know, it’s a lot, but it’s what I do day in and day out and I absolutely love it. I’m blessed to do what I was meant to do, and I’m so grateful to have the best patients who come from near and far, amazing staff who support me, and work with my family doing it 🫶. Thank you for sticking thru to the end and let me know what else you want to see from my social media 💗.
Work life balance, working mom, how to get healthy skin, how long does a dermatologist train
