5 SIMPLE SKIN CARE HACKS- To Increase Product Power

After my laser procedures I guide patients how to maximize their gains with active skin care, hence these educational videos. Skin is as unique as you are- so there is not standard active skin care range or skin care routine that I endorse nor prescribe. My laser team will discuss with you what and when to start skin care actives.

If you are after an anti-ageing skin care program I normally would perform either Fractional Co2 and Fraxel or an erbium modulated CO2 laser, followed by the ABCs of skin care. Timing is extremely important to reduce skin irritation following laser procedures. I normally start off with a retinoid, such as Retinol 1.0 then graduate to prescription retinoid acid, before adding B and C products. SPF of choice is a physical sunscreen to reduce irritation following a laser procedure.

If I am treating your for acne scarring, the use of Vitamin A and SPF is beneficial for both better outcomes and recovery- this includes treatments with RF, microneedling, fractional lasers and even TCA peels. There are small uncontrolled studies to suggest topical vitamin A can enhance scar revision- and besides, topical vitamin A can unclog pores, decrease oil production and reduce acne.

If I am treating melasma and other forms of pigmentation, this video is super important. This can teach you to maximize your HQ use, vitamin A and Meladerm, or Melarase usage. My laser of choice is usually the Pico or Nano Revlite- C6 or the Clear and Brilliant Fraxel laser.

For patients with rosacea and sensitive skin, this video is also useful, however you must slowly titrate the methods I have shown you. Your skin is extra sensitive and there is a fine line with Vitamin B and to a limited extent vitamin A and C. For acne prone skin, the use of AHAs combined with vitamin A creams, retinol, and retinoic acid can give a helping hand to reduce acne, zits, pimples, blackheads and whiteheads.

How can someone as knowledgeable and professional as you are only getting 200k+ subscribers? Whereas those self claimed MUAs are out there promoting heavy makeup, unrealistic daily routine and getting over a million. What a crazy world!

I must say you are the first dermatologist to approve clarisonic and physical exfoliation

Thank-you for taking the time to educate us. Very much appreciated.

You are so smart! Just knowing what laser works for what skin type is impressive. You know how to use the machines, when to change out the depth and strength of each laser for each person and their individual disease or skin condition. And there are so many of them! I appreciate you sharing your knowledge, especially since I'm over 50! Thank you.

So when u give me tips on how to make my actives work better for also make my brain work hard for me :) I have to listen carefully because you are disseminating loads of good info all at once! I feel like taking notes!!! You should teach. I mean like as in formally. you is a dang good teacher :)

[silviadiaz]

I love, love, love ur videos! appreciate ur educative & evidence-based approach. Your content is always consistent and doesn’t change with the trends of the beauty industry. Thank you!!!

[FiftyPlusBeauty]

You are so right! I apply my Retin-a and serums over damp skin. I heard it’s a myth we should only apply our skin care over dry skin. I am entering my “second 30” and that’s working well! I also like to use rough gloves to apply my AM cleanser!!! 💝💝💝

Again thanks for your honesty on effective techniques and not falling prey to marketing.

[nasnazaneen]

You are such a talented, skilled, knowledgeable and dedicated laser and cosmetics dermatologist and an amazing person. Keep up the great work. God bless you 🤧 People need specialists like you. I believe you are number one in the world. Hopefully I will see you in the near future if I couldn’t find anyone as skilled as yourself which I doubt to find here in Perth WA. Good luck with everything you do doctor 👨‍⚕️ 😊

After going through most of your channel and following the tips my skin transformed into its best shape of my live. It looks and feels better now that it did 10 years ago. Also your chill delivery is appreciated. Thank you

I love your videos! My eyes have been opened to how to treat my acne. And I realized my dermatologist is totally ripping me off 😑. I recently ordered the ordinary products and am excited to try them.

[sherielight]

Another great video. I appreciate how you take medical subjects & make them easily understandable. Have a blessed day.

Hello from Los Angeles California I can't believe you've been on here and I just found you but I love that you are so honest about everything. I will be very careful on what I purchase and put on my face, thanks.

First time I've seen a video on what to do after everyday skin care has done as much as it can. Great info! Thanks! Rita
