3 Treatments I Say No To
There are some treatments I just don't recommend, even when a patient asks.
My New Associate Dr. Hammerman
Please meet Dr. Scott Hammerman, who has joined my dermatology practice.
Being a Late Bloomer
I was a shy and awkward teen and young adult. I envied those who were naturally at ease.
Testing on Myself
Yes, I test everything on myself. Before I bring a treatment into the office, I want to understand the experience firsthand, what it feels like, what I notice, and whether I believe the results are worth it.
My Mom is 84
Mom tried to teach me how to massage my face when I was a teen. Of course, I didn’t listen. Instead, I became a dermatologist.
Minoxidil for Hair Loss
Even dermatologists get hair thinning. When I noticed clumps of hair in the shower drain, I checked the same factors I look for in my patients, including: hormones, thyroid, iron, deficiencies and toxicities.
Skin Boosters vs Filler
I’ve injected filler since 1996 and skin boosters since 2018. Every year I travel to Europe and Asia to work with physicians using products and techniques we won't have in the U.S. for years.
Unboxing the Oura Ring
I just got an Oura Ring 5 because as a dermatologist, I look beyond the surface for clues about what may be affecting your skin.
Estrogen Cream
Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought, “Did my face age overnight?”
New Sunscreen Ingredient
U.S. sunscreens are finally getting newer UV filters like Bemotrizinol (Tinosorb S), an ingredient that’s been used safely in Europe and Asia for years.
