Good questions! Let’s take them one by one and then in combination. 1) The Ulthera, in my opinion, works as well as Thermage but often requires more treatments and is...
In the short term, not tanning will help these blend better, so an SPF 30 sunscreen with at least 5-10% zinc is very helpful. Use the ones formulated for acne...
I would probably say neither! Necks are a very tough area to improve with current technology. Generally Thermage on the neck doesn’t work well because the skin is very thin...
I hear what you’re saying and I’d like you to think about a balloon. A balloon generally losess it’s shape and sags because it loses air/volume. For an aging face,...
Mesotherapy is used much more in Europe and other parts of the world because no systems (that I know of) have been approved by the FDA in the U.S. For...
In general, you will get more results and more consistent results after a series of 2-4 Sculptra treatments than with Selphyl (aka Vamppire lift), so I’m not sure why you...
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...
Hi Robin So for readers who don’t know, dermaplaning is a method used for gentle exfoliation. A tiny scalpel blade is used carefully to lightly abrade off a few layers...
Hi Teresa – It difficult for many to figure out whom to trust on the web and how to research things carefully. And I think the problem will just increase...
Hello Amy – thank you for the nice comment! I think they are very similar (cell growth factors and cytokines) and it’s really not possible to know at this point...
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?!
