Winter shifts how the skin functions. Reduced humidity, indoor heat, and slower barrier recovery all increase vulnerability, which is why seasonal support becomes as important as in-office care.
Supporting the skin barrier during this time helps maintain treatment tolerance, regulate inflammation, and preserve long-term skin integrity.
Thoughtful winter routines are not about intensity, but about protecting the systems that allow skin to repair and regenerate.

To learn how we personalize seasonal skin support, schedule a consultation at Russak Dermatology Clinic.

The holidays often come with indulgence, but balance still matters.

This dark chocolate beauty bark satisfies a sweet craving while supporting skin structure, blood sugar balance, and regeneration through thoughtfully chosen ingredients.

A reminder that supporting skin health doesn’t mean giving up what you enjoy.

Hyaluronic acid fillers are not meant to change a face.
They are meant to support it.

At Russak Dermatology, placement is guided by anatomy, balance, and long-term tissue behavior. When hyaluronic acid is placed with intention, it can restore structural support, refine details, and preserve natural movement without looking done.

This approach prioritizes harmony and longevity over volume, allowing results to evolve gracefully with you.
If you are considering injectables and want a treatment plan designed for long-term skin health, schedule a personalized consultation with Russak Dermatology Clinic.

MRI scans are powerful tools, but they don’t tell a full story on their own.
They show signals and patterns in tissue, not labels or timelines.

This is why MRI reports may use broad terms like “remnants” or “persistence,” even when no active filler remains. Without clinical context, that language can sound alarming.

Understanding how MRI findings are described is an important step in interpreting what these images actually mean.

2026 Health & Longevity Forecast

Dr. Julie Russak, M.D. is featured in mindbodygreen’s 2026 Health & Longevity Forecast in the article exploring how regenerative aesthetics are redefining skinspan.

The piece reframes skin as a biological system and an extension of healthspan, shifting the focus from short-term correction to long-term skin health.

The forecast also covers adjacent pillars including metabolic health, strength, oral health, nutrition, GLP-1 therapies, and AI-driven care.

Winter is the season for controlled repair.

Chemical peels and laser resurfacing serve different purposes, and choosing the right approach depends on your skin’s needs, timing, and long term goals.

Peels help refresh and brighten the skin, especially when addressing surface pigmentation and mild texture.

Lasers work deeper, creating precise micro-injuries that stimulate collagen remodeling and support long term skin resilience.

At Russak Dermatology Clinic, resurfacing is never about being aggressive. It is about activating repair in a way that respects the skin barrier and supports longevity.

There has been renewed conversation online about MRI scans showing “filler that never goes away.” The truth is more nuanced and rooted in physiology.

MRI is highly sensitive to water. Hyaluronic acid is hydrophilic and attracts water, even after most of the product has already been metabolized. What you often see on MRI is hydrated tissue or micro scopic remnants, not permanent filler.

Many of the older MRI studies came from cases where patients received high cumulative volumes over many years, injections into the same planes, or older, more rigid formulations. This is very different from modern regenerative approaches.

At Russak Dermatology Clinic, we use the minimum effective dose, customized placement, and a longevity-focused plan where the skin does most of the work.

Harmony and natural movement always come before volume.

Sculptra has now been certified in the EU for body indications, expanding its use beyond the face into the gluteal area, posterior thighs, décolletage and upper arms.

This reflects what we see in the clinic every day: the body experiences the same collagen decline and structural changes as the face. When we restore regenerative activity, skin quality improves everywhere.

By stimulating fibroblasts to rebuild collagen, Sculptra enhances texture, firmness and overall skin behavior in areas that have traditionally been difficult to treat.
Clinical studies show meaningful improvements across the buttock area, thighs, décolletage and arms.

At Russak Dermatology Clinic, Sculptra is part of our regenerative approach to full-body skin health, supporting function, structure and long-term skin longevity.

Hyaluronic acid fillers are often misunderstood, so here is the foundation.

HA is a naturally occurring sugar in the skin, and the body knows how to break it down. Through enzymes, metabolism, and normal tissue turnover, HA is continually remodeled and gradually cleared over time.

How long a filler lasts depends on the formulation, the depth where it is placed, and each patient’s biology, but it never stays fixed in one spot. Your body is always reshaping it.

At Russak Dermatology Clinic, we use the minimum effective dose and place fillers in precise anatomical planes as part of a regenerative, longevity-focused plan. The goal is harmony, natural movement, and supporting the skin so it does the work, not the filler.
