What are your thoughts about microinfusion tech such as "Aqua Gold" facials in which micro needles infuse skin with a cocktail mixture of botox, hyaluronic acid and peptides or antioxidants?
Hey Rosie – thank you for writing! Everyone’s questions help other people too! Here’s my opinion on the above. Microneedling is NOT so great with active acne. Why? For two...
I’m glad you wrote about this. In the past month, we’ve seen 2 other people with complaints regarding light to medium depth peels done at other offices. Here are some...
Great question. Words matter …..and for years we’ve describing those little red blood vessels (capillaries really) as “broken” veins or capillaries. Really though……they are not broken! They are just enlarged...
I’ve received several questions like yours recently, so I’m thinking these must be on people’s minds. I’ve noticed that our patients tend to identify most bumps on the face as...

Peels are that two edged sword. On the one hand, it’s true that chemical peels or microdermabrasions done well and at the right intervals can help with keeping pores unclogged,...
I think your question is interesting because my own patients have asked this also. I don’t have a scientific answer for you on this; but, in my opinion, it’s because...
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?!
