As autumn arrives in Little Rock, it’s the perfect time to address skin concerns and plan for winter rejuvenation. Katie Davidson, RN, BSN, at SKN at Franks Dermatology, believes fall presents an ideal opportunity to refresh your skin after harsh summer months.
“I don’t think that injectables by themselves are the answer. There’s not one treatment that is going to provide complete anti-aging,” Davidson explains. “Working on the texture of your skin, as well as addressing the wrinkles, being able to combine both approaches is really going to give you that natural, anti-aging, healthy skin.”
A Comprehensive Philosophy
As a specialist in both injectable treatments and laser therapies, Davidson creates comprehensive treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs. Her holistic approach has earned devoted clients who appreciate her natural-looking results.
“Katie is phenomenal,” one patient shared. “Such a kind, talented professional! Loving my results already!”
Many patients feel overwhelmed when considering aesthetic treatments.
“There are so many different treatment options available. Patients often don’t know where to start, and they don’t know what they need,” says Davidson, whose solution is education-focused consultations that take budget and downtime into consideration.

Smart Skincare at Home
Davidson advocates for simplicity in at-home care.
“I’m not a fan of 15-step skincare routines,” she says.
Her recommendation: Focus on essentials like a gentle cleanser, quality moisturizer, broad-spectrum sunscreen and one to two targeted treatment products.
For patients older than 35, Davidson specifically recommends the Intensive Even Tone treatment by SkinBetter Science and a quality hyaluronic acid serum. The key is ensuring products are medical-grade and backed by science.
“Many over-the-counter products have excellent marketing that can be misleading about their actual effectiveness,” she notes.
Davidson’s strategy prioritizes professional treatments first.
“I always recommend that patients first invest in treatments that improve the skin barrier and create healthy, physical changes. Once we’ve achieved your desired results, then we can focus on maintenance with premium skincare products.”
Her Go-To Treatment: BBL
Davidson’s favorite treatment across all age groups is BroadBand Light (BBL).
“Everyone has sun damage and uneven skin tone as they age,” Davidson explains. “Whether treating acne patients, rosacea patients or general anti-aging concerns like brown spots and sun damage, BBL can address all of these issues effectively.”
BBL treatments are quick with minimal downtime, perfect for busy schedules. Davidson treats patients from age 12 to 85, demonstrating the treatment’s versatility.
Working within Franks Dermatology allows Davidson to collaborate with Dr. Hayden Franks and physician assistants, creating integrated treatment plans that address both medical and cosmetic concerns.
As winter approaches, there’s no better time to invest in your skin’s health with Katie Davidson’s expert guidance at SKN.
