As I know you’ve probably discovered, there is very little to no scientific data on this. Patients who were on immunosuppressants were usually excluded from the studies that were done...
Glad you asked this because the answer to this is resoundingly NO!!! You don’t want to do anything that disrupts the outer layer (stratum corneum and epidermis) of your skin...
Thank you for writing! Your situation brings up a good point. Generally, any time you suspect a skincare product might be the cause of a skin problem, it’s very reasonable...
Hmmmm – your question makes me wonder how much experience your doctor has with these products because, in general, most experienced injectors do not try to use hyaluronic acid fillers...
Unfortunately, I don’t think they are worth the money. They don’t seem to work very well. It’s difficult to tell often, if they’ve made any difference at all. And, you...

We know that everyone builds collagen with Thermage (a good thing) but that not everyone sees a visible lifting and tightening. Generally, the younger you are (late 20s – mid forties) the...

Unfortunately, the answer is usually neither for this. Both IPL and Fraxel can make melasma worse especially if you are a darker skin type. If you are still interested in laser treatment, please go only...
One of the best investments in your skin is your daily skincare. Why? Because you can prevent many problems with blotchy skin color, lack of glow, texture, some types of acne, and fine lines with good skincare products. You can also correct some of these problems with effective skincare products. Great skincare is often more expensive because quality ingredients are expensive. Some companies spend on research/development which benefits all of us and adds to the cost. Are they worth it? In general - yes! I have handpicked some of what I consider to be the best skin care products, and offer them for sale on SkinTour's shop. This is based on my team and I's testing and research at our clinic. Many of the products are in my own regimen. What could be better than using skin care products a dermatologist uses?!
