Botox? Lip Filler? Kybella? Cosmetic Treatments I've Had Done as a Dermatologist | Dr. Sam Ellis

As a medical and cosmetic dermatologist, I have access to a lot of cosmetic treatments and procedures from Botox to fillers to various lasers. And I've been able to try many of them on myself! That's why I wanted to share this video to talk about all the cosmetic treatments I've have tried and share my experience with them.

Have you tried any of these cosmetic procedures? Tell me in the comments!

I really appreciate you talking about this! I feel like so many derms don't discuss the cosmetic treatments they have done and act like their current look comes solely from great skin care products and stuff like facials. I'm so here for the transparency and normalization of *subtle* cosmetic changes.

You are the living proof that when procedures are done in the right way, others can't notice it :) Thank you for sharing your insights

[ravenswood]

I think it's wonderful that you were transparent. The only thing is I was hoping you would talk more about your experience with these procedures, possible side effects, safety, etc. I've heard lots of Kybella horror stories lol

[RockBandGroupie]

Thank you for being so transparent! Answered a lot of questions I had about these treatments and learned about new ones 😊

[Emiandsmink]

Such an informative and candid video! Looking forward to more in-depth content on these procedures 🙂

[polpolpol]

it's such a pleasure to listen to you! thank you for sharing knowledge and personal stuff!

[liliaschumacher]

Thank you for being so honest about your procedures Dr. Ellis! It helps us learn more about what is out there to keep us aging gracefully :)

[raquelsg]

You have no idea how much I love honesty. Explaining all the treatments you do gives me a lot of confidence too. Thank you so much!

I loved this video the pure honesty is so nice to hear. You are gorgeous and seem to know what your skin needs to look as amazing as it does

[evahackett]

Thank you for being so transparent and honest

My compliments for a most informative and personal look at these treatments/therapies. This means so much coming from a Board Certified Dermatologist. You're gorgeous with gorgeous skin. I've been happy with Botox between the brows and for crows feet. I've been happy with Vollure for lip wrinkles and Voluma for cheeks and had a little Voluma I think on the jaw line. I am saving up for Ultherapy and considering RF microneedling. I'm in my 50's and spent a lot of time over the years in the sun without sunscreen. I just subscribed and can't wait to learn more! Thank you very much!

I appreciate you for your honesty that it takes more than just a great skincare regimen to see certain results. I hope more influencers, skin experts and dermatologist do the same.

Thanks for this! Love getting all of this information. I started botox in glabella last year at 43 and love it! Wish I would have started sooner. You are so beautiful, more importantly, intelligent and nice so don't worry about being judged. Who cares what others think as long as we are happy with ourselves!! 💜

[sueholte]

What a great, informative video!! Dr. Sam you explained these procedures so well. Thank you!

[natalythinks]

Appreciate this honesty so much! I’ve been hoping YouTube derms would talk more about treatments other than creams and serums, I don’t see it discussed enough. I’d love more of this content. Thank you!

[monkeyag]

wow.. thank you so much for being so open and honest with your viewers!!! absolutely LOVE THIS!!

[jklabc]

As someone who has now reach their thirties, I’ve been more curious about in office procedures. However, there are so many options which can be intimidating. Thank you for breaking some of them down!

[ashlielobos]

I would love to see a video on your haircare routine. Your hair always looks healthy!

[FreeRangeDiva]

Thank you for this detailed information. I learned a lot and this is practical knowledge for me that I can use as I'm staring down my 66th birthday in a few days. I've had fillers year ago and recently had my first Pelleve treatment on my neck. My second treatment is tomorrow and I'm already seeing results. My dr. is extremely good - like you, she's an artist when it comes to making the face look good and natural.

Omg so subtle and conservative yet still polished and refined. That’s what I need ! I’m starting to get those smile creases you were referring to at about 11:25 and i want them gone but I’m so nervous to get that lumpy/doughy look (not you obviously but I’ve seen some other people that look so obvious especially in certain angles/lightings) and I’ve also read stories about filler migration that mortifies me . I can’t believe you do all your own injections, must be nice!
