PATIENT TESTIMONIAL
"I started my journey at Skin Worthy with really inflamed rosacea. When I met with Dr. Hemsworth, he was instantly optimistic, which in turn made me so hopeful. We started on the Acne Treatment Program - which has led me to where I am today. My skin is clear and I truly never thought I was going to be able to say that. I'm so excited and thankful to the entire SW Team."
