Good question. This is a little complicated for a blog but in general, no. The exception is anything permanent like silicone, Artecoll/Artefill, and others available outside the United States. There...
At age 28, you definately do not need surgery under eye hollows. Look for a truly expert injector in your area and depending on where you live this may take some time. When you...
This episode was a few weeks ago but I thought it was interesting. I generally don’t like Radiesse in the cheeks because I think it looks too stiff and a...
In your situation, Radiesse is a reasonable option. Just make sure your doctor is experienced and a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon. It’s not a guarantee, but it helps....
I’ve been realizing from all the blog questions I get, that there’s still a lot of confusion about fillers – what they do best and which ones are safe. Please...

Thank you – I LOVE doing this blog! Something seems odd to me. In 18 years of practice, I’ve never seen anyone go through so much product, unless you are...
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?!
