🎂✨ Cheers to 54! ✨🎂
Woke up yesterday to the weather forecast of “54 and Sunny,” and I thought, how perfect… because it was my 54th birthday and that’s exactly how I felt! ☀️💛 Every year, I become more full of gratitude for every moment that has shaped me—both in my personal life and my journey as a dermatologist. 🌱

Over time, I’ve seen countless transformations—both in the mirror and in the lives of those I’ve had the privilege to treat. Keeping people healthy, offering advice and helping people look and feel like the best versions of themselves is my goal each day. 👩‍⚕️💫

Staying active has been my way of nurturing both body and soul, and I’m excited to see where this new year takes me—both in the gym and in the treatment room. 🏃‍♀️✨

And, I continue to focus on always being authentic - not only to others- but to myself. It takes constant work, self-reflection & courage and it forces me to continually evaluate my values, my options, & my actions. When we are authentic, we allow people to truly see us and in turn, we attract people who value us for who we are, not for who they want us to be.

To my amazing community of patients, colleagues, friends and family : What’s one thing you’d love to see from me this year? More skincare tips? More treatment reviews? My thoughts on trends? Behind-the-scenes in my practice?
Let me know in the comments! 💬👇

Here’s to another year of growth, laughter, and glowing skin! 🥂💖

Let's talk about Growth Factors: 🌱 These are naturally occurring proteins that your cells produce, to regulate cell growth & proliferation.

In the world of skincare, Growth Factors have become popular. 🌟 They are in injected in PRP (platelet rich plasma) to promoting rejuvenation and repair and have been shown to:

🌟 Improve Skin Texture: Growth Factors can help your skin cells grow healthy and strong, leaving you with silky-smooth and even-textured skin.
🌟 Boost Firmness & Elasticity : Stimulate both collagen and elastin helping the firmness and elasticity of your skin.
🌟 Reduces Wrinkles: Growth Factors can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
🌟 Skin Repair: Growth Factors step in with cell turnover and healing, and help to bring back that youthful glow.

But, remember, individual results vary due to factors like your skin type, age, genetics, and the specific product you choose. Also, growth factors are unstable when they are not in their original environment so it is tough to say that they are active in a cream. The only way to truly know if a specific product is effective is to look at the studies done on that exact product!
There are currently no standardized treatment, protocols or guidelines, regarding the use of topical growth factors for skin rejuvenation.Approach all products with caution if you have skin conditions, allergies, or are pregnant, nursing, or undergoing medical treatments.

So, can growth factors turn back time & erase the signs of aging? 🤔 Well, it's a team effort! Lifestyle choices, sun protection, and a solid skincare routine are all key players in the game of youthful skin.

Proteins 💪🏼 are the building blocks of our bodies & play a vital role in cell regeneration. When getting laser treatments, you want to make sure you’re eating enough protein so you can maximally stimulate collagen!
It is well known that low-protein diets delay and inhibit wound-healing so it is not surprising that a low protein diet would also compromise the results of cosmetic treatments.

You also need sufficient amounts of other nutrients like:

🥕🍊Vitamins A, C, and E:
These vitamins are key for maintaining healthy skin. Vitamin A helps to regenerate skin cells, vitamin C promotes collagen production, and vitamin E acts as an antioxidant that protects the skin from damage. You can find these vitamins in a variety of foods such as sweet potatoes, carrots, oranges, red peppers, leafy greens, nuts, and seeds.

🐟Omega-3 Fatty Acids:
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for healthy skin cell membranes. Omega-3 fatty acids also have anti-inflammatory properties that can help to soothe irritated skin. The best sources of omega-3 fatty acids are fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel, sardines, and herring. These fatty acids can also be found in chia seeds, walnuts, and pumpkin seeds.

🎃Zinc:
Zinc is also involved in the production of collagen and it is essential for maintaining the skin’s elasticity and youthful appearance. Including zinc-rich foods in your diets, such as oysters, beef, pumpkin seeds, and beans, can help to prolong the results of your treatment by supporting healthy skin function.

MY SUGGESTION: Download a food tracking APP & start evaluating how much protein you are getting in your diet!

Have you heard of TrapTox?💉
Botulinum Toxin injections for your trapezius muscles.💪🏼These injections provide temporary relaxation for tight trapezius muscles, which play a crucial role in stabilizing your neck and shoulders while promoting good posture.🌟

Everyday stress, poor posture, excessive shoulder shrugging, weightlifting, and hunching over screens can leave your trapezius muscles inflamed, enlarged, and painful.😫 Botox can be a game-changer, especially for those dealing with neck discomfort, migraines, and muscle spasms caused by trapezius strain. Relief can last from three months to a year, and it's often a better option than oral medications for many headache sufferers. 💆‍♂️💊

Botulinum Toxin stops muscle contraction for about 4 - 6 months, allowing your muscles to relax and movement eventually returns.

For those worried about big trapezius muscles affecting their attractiveness, Botulinum Toxin can offer you a smoother & longer neck contour which is why it is sometimes called “Barbie Botox” 🌟

Remember, this is a medical procedure and there are potential side effects, so it's crucial to have a skilled injector who knows the area's anatomy. Overdosing of Botox can lead to difficulty in lifting objects or deltoid paralysis and even breathing. 🙅‍♀️

Thank you and for including me in your deep dive about Traptox! Link to full article in my story.
