Biography
Dr. Xiao He (肖和) is a Chief Physician, Professor, and Director of Dermatology at Guangzhou Zixin. He is recognized as a South China expert in medical pigment removal, with a clinical focus on melasma, freckles, age spots, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and other complex pigmentation disorders. His practice combines dermatology, laser medicine, and aesthetic medicine to deliver safe, evidence-based care for diverse skin types.
For more than a decade, Dr. Xiao He has studied the skin characteristics of women in South China, especially Guangzhou, where humid climate, intense ultraviolet exposure, and high rates of pigmentary concerns require tailored treatment strategies. He has accumulated tens of thousands of successful pigment removal cases and is known for individualized protocols that balance efficacy, comfort, and skin barrier health.
His medical background includes advanced training in dermatology and aesthetic laser therapy. As a professor and clinical leader, he emphasizes accurate diagnosis, phototype assessment, and the exclusion of contraindications before treatment. He regularly integrates technologies such as picosecond lasers, Q-switched lasers, fractional lasers, intense pulsed light, and medical chemical peels when clinically appropriate.
Dr. Xiao He’s treatment philosophy is built on three principles: precise diagnosis, layered therapy, and long-term maintenance. He believes that successful pigment management is not a single procedure but a structured plan that may combine laser sessions, topical care, sun protection, barrier repair, and follow-up monitoring. Patient education is central to his practice, helping patients understand realistic expectations and the importance of aftercare.
