Please, please, please before any of you let someone inject you (even with an HA filler), ask whether they are able to correct bumps with hyaluronidase. If they say no,...
Okay ……..maybe I wasn’t clear enough about this but…….any filler can cause puffy bags or “cords” under the eyes, not just Belotero! That puffiness or cord effect has to do...
Some people may think this is an odd question to ask about Botox with chemotherapy and radiation, since you are clearly fighting for your life. Good for you for making...

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?!
