At Renascance Dermatology, we realize the skin is an indicator of systemic disease, shows the manifestations of environmental stimuli, and plays a key role in expression of positive self-confidence and esteem. Dr. Shabazz is a Board Certified Dermatologist that brings an expertise of general, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology to the Northern Virginia and the DC Metropolitan Area.
Renascance Dermatology was inspired by family. The office is housed with Fair Oaks Podiatry and Sports Medicine, where Dr. Zakee Shabazz is the podiatrist.
The Daffodil is the birth flower for December, her son’s birth month, and the Emerald is the birthstone for May, her daughter’s birth month. Our logo, a narcissus (or daffodil), and the color, emerald green, mean “rebirth” — and so does the word “Renascance.” Our desire to help you experience healthy and revitalized skin so that you can feel like the beautiful person you are.
