Blog with Dr. Irwin

Hi, I am 41 and have started to see fine lines around my eyes. I am getting married in three months and would like your advice on any procedures that would help. Thermage? Botox? I am also very unhappy with the tops of my arms as I have untoned arms which I think are baggy. What would you reccommend? A friend said Laser lipo but do I have enough time for something like this. Hope you can advise me as Im not sure if I would see any results in time for my wedding. Thankyou for your time.

Hi Dr Irwin, I am 28 and getting married in 4 months. What do you suggest so my skin looks fabulous in time for the wedding? Also, some of my friends have told me I should start using the Clarisonic, what do you think about that? Thanks!

Dear Dr Irwin, Thank you for your excellent website sharing unbaised skincare information. I am 37 years old and I interested in including medical grade peels and microdermabrasion into my skin-care routine, primarily to help with blackheads, but also to assist with overall skin texture over time. I understand from reading Paula Begoun's books that BHA and AHA products work most effectively within a certain pH range (approximately 3-4 for AHAs and 3 for BHAs. My question is, how can I go about selecting which skin care provider to use for a medical grade peel when information about the pH level of the products they use is difficult or impossible to access?

I have just had my second microdermabrasion treatment. I now have two red lumps that are hard, don't move and are without heads. What are these. I haven't had lumps like this since I was in my late teens. I have very oily skin. I am 57 years old and worried that the micro could be causing this. Thank you
