Dr. Boakye's approach to skincare, known as lifestyle dermatology, and is rooted in the belief that skin health and appearance are influenced by various lifestyle factors, including diet, physical activity, stress management, and emotional well-being. This perspective was shaped by her personal experience with the impact of nutrition on her skin and overall well-being, and she has seen the positive effects of lifestyle changes on her patients as well. 

Dr. Boakye is dedicated to educating and staying informed about the latest research on menopause and skincare, as she works with celebrities (John Legend, Gabrielle Union, Naomi Osaka) and communities of color to develop safe and effective skincare products for melanin-rich skin tones.
