Thank you for bringing this up again……..seems like many are confused, including some doctors. Bottom line, we know that ALL of these radiofrequency devices, if done correctly by the nurse...
You’re so welcome! Do chemical peels build collagen in the skin? The answer is yes, but not much. The very superficial peels just refresh the outer layer, the epidermis. Medium...
The truth is that this area is the Wild West right now with device manufacturers and some doctors making all sorts of claims that really can’t be proven over a...

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.

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?!
