Spring Break travel can be rough on your skin.

Three things people underestimate:

✈️ Airplane cabins are drier than the Sahara desert
☀️ Up to 80% of UV rays pe*****te clouds
🏔️ Going skiing? UV increases ~5% for every 1,000 ft of altitude

Plan skincare the way you plan your outfits

After years in practice, Dermatologists notice patterns.

Around this time each year, the same skin conditions show up in the office.

Patients are often surprised.
Dermatologists aren’t.

I’ll be talking about these issues live on the KTLA News Monday at 12:45PM...

And how I deal with them in my Beverly Hills office.

A morning well spent investing in our next generation of doctors!

I had the absolute pleasure of giving a masterclass on what we don't learn in training: how to actually craft the life you want ✨️

We discussed personal values, compensation, contracts, different llife paths, and how to find joy in dermatology as both a profession and a purpose.

I left feeling so fulfilled and hopeful for these aspiring dermatologists, and I'm looking forward to sharing more special moments like this here with you!

This week, I'm speaking to the USC Dermatology residents about what no one teaches them:

✔️How to choose wisely
✔️How to negotiate your value
✔️How to build a life, not just a resume

These young doctors will be taking care of us.

When we mentor them well, everyone benefits.

Stay tuned for highlights.

Valentine’s is not my favorite holiday.

It’s stressful and too much pressure to have a romantic evening.

When I’m feeling nervous, stressed, or overwhelmed, I do the PHYSIOLOGY SIGH:
1. Take 2 quick breaths
2. Long, slow exhale
3. Repeat 3 times

Have you seen a baby double-inhale when they cry? That’s because they’re self‑soothing.

The long exhale shifts your body toward parasympathetic mode to calm your nervous system, reduce blood pressure, and reduce cortisol levels.

I do 3 rounds before I walk into a big presentation, go on TV, or after an intense meeting.

If Valentine’s stress hits: calm your body first. Then decide what you want to do.

Save + send it to someone who needs a reset.

And tell me who you’re spending Valentine’s with:💘 👯 🐾 😌 (Lover / Pal / Fur baby/ Solo)

If you feel lightheaded, keep it gentle and stop.

Peptide‑curious? So are many of my patients.

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that can act as biologic signals.

Two of the most popular are BPC‑157 + GHK‑Cu. 

BPC‑157: Used for tissue repair signaling, recovery, anti-inflammatory properties, and overall wellness. The science is still evolving.

GHK‑Cu: Discussed in the context of skin repair and collagen/extracellular matrix signaling (available as topical & injectable).

Before you buy, ask what a peptide‑literate physician asks:

⭐️ COA (certificate of analysis)
⭐️ Purity testing
⭐️ Sterility standards (especially if injectable)

For a real conversation, find a doctor who will talk peptides.

*Educational only; not medical advice.

Inflammation has become a dirty word. It shouldn’t be.
Inflammation is the first step in tissue healing and recovery, as I’ve recently been reminded.
The real issue is when inflammation doesn’t resolve.  
Healing, and optimal results from procedures such as lasers, energy devices (like Sofwave), microneedling, and biostimulatory injectables (Sculptra, skin boosters) depend on biomarkers, sleep, stress regulation, and hormonal balance. When any of these are off, inflammation stops being adaptive and becomes chronic.
This is also where emerging tools (like peptides) are interesting.  Not as shortcuts, but as signals that may help the body complete the healing process rather than stay stuck in it.
That distinction is how I think about recovery, aging, and skin health.
Thank you to  and  for hosting a thoughtful, substantive conversation.
Looking forward to getting to know you,

Three broken ribs.
Not the birthday chapter I planned.

But they won’t stop me from doing what I love.
The mountains sustain me; they always have.

Recovery isn’t abstract for me right now.
I’m living what I advise my patients: sleep, stress reduction, letting the body do what it’s designed to do when you give it the right conditions.

Falls happen, on the mountain and in life. We get back up with help.
If you’ve dealt with broken ribs or bones, share what helped you.

58 years young today.

I don’t romanticize aging;
I take it seriously.

Strength matters.
Health matters.
Who you build your life with matters.

Experience raises your standards.
I’m proud of mine.

After 25 years of treating faces and bodies every day, one principle hasn’t changed:



Results should still look good 5, 10, 15 years from now.



That means restraint.

That means judgment

That means saying “no” when something isn’t right for that patient at that time.



If you’re looking for a doctor who plans long-term, you’re in the right place.

Peptides aren’t the magic shortcut your feed is selling you.
They’re powerful biological signals, and context matters.

Names like BPC-157 and GHK-Cu pop up in wellness conversations.
They’re amino acid chains that can influence repair, inflammation, and regeneration.

But powerful doesn’t mean universally appropriate.
Used casually, they can do more harm than good.

In my practice, peptides are never an impulse add-on.
I look at your history, labs, medications, and long-term goals before they ever become part of a plan.

And sometimes, the most sophisticated decision is restraint.

Save this if peptides are on your radar.
Follow for Part 2: the peptide myths I hear most.

Tomorrow I'll be speaking on the "AI in Aesthetics" panel at 's Aesthetics Tech Forum in Newport Beach, discussing how this technology is shaping how we think about skin and longevity.

I'll be sharing how I already use AI tools to refine my patients' results. I'll also preview some of my new research on using AI to optimize outcomes of regenerative treatments.

What do you think about AI in healthcare: excited, unsure, or both? Tell me in the comments so I know w1hat you want answered.
