Wow – good questions. I’ll try to explain so it makes sense: Regular heat from a hot day, exercise, a steam room, a hot yoga class will dilate the blood...
I’d be very careful and very skeptical. Just because something is seen all over the media, doesn’t give it validity. That reflects more the amount of advertising dollars spent on...
The answer is that lasers (one wavelength) and IPLs (a mixture of different wavelengths) are light energy applied selectively to the skin, so they don’t interfere with pacemakers. I like patients...
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...
This completely depends on what problem you are trying to fix in the first place. Thermage is better for building collagen and a gentle, subtle skin tightening. We know from biopsy...

Please don’t try to do this yourself at home. I’m guessing that you bought this off the internet. You really don’t know what your getting. Some radiofrequencies used incorrectly can...
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?!
