Dr. Naana Boakye is a board-certified dermatologist, skincare formulator and author, based in New Jersey. She earned her M.D. from Temple University in 2004, followed by an M.P.H. in epidemiology from George Washington University. With over two decades of clinical experience, she founded her private practice (Bergen Dermatology) in Hackensack/Englewood Cliffs, NJ, where she offers both in-person and teledermatology services.

Her approach emphasises an integrative, lifestyle-informed dermatology: not only treating skin conditions but looking at the whole person, including factors such as diet, stress, environment and skin barrier health. She has a particular focus on melanated skin and skincare for people of color, helping patients with conditions like acne, hyperpigmentation and hair concerns in skin of color.

In addition to her clinical work, Dr. Boakye has developed skincare lines and collaborated with high-profile brands, authored a book (“Inside Out Beauty: Your Prescription for Healthy, Radiant and Acne-Controlled Skin”), and is active in education and advocacy around inclusive skincare.
