SORRY I DONT DO DUPES

Pay for the real deal or go😭. No but really. Let’s respect the art of quality formulas and there isn’t a dupe for everything.

There is a phase in skincare where you can experiment, substitute, and play with products because your skin is already stable and resilient. But there is also a phase where structure, consistency, and intention matter more than anything. So I do not play when it comes to my clients. We run a strict ship around here!

When someone asks why I discourage dupes, it isn’t about gatekeeping or pushing a brand. It’s about clinical responsibility. During active treatment, every variable matters to me. Formulation stability, delivery systems, molecular size, purity, and clinical testing determine whether a product works or simply sits on the skin (Most trash products). Two ingredient lists can look identical on paper, yet perform completely differently in the real world because the science behind the formulation is not the same.

I understand why dupes are appealing. They are accessible and advertised everywhere. Or even offer folks publicity or commission. But when we are correcting acne, melasma, inflammation, or barrier damage, introducing unknown formulations becomes guesswork for me. $ #!T I don’t like. Guesswork leads to setbacks, cost time, money, and patience.

Once your skin has reached its healthiest baseline, maintenance THEN becomes flexible. That is the time you can explore alternatives. But in the restoration phase, my role is to eliminate unnecessary variables so we can measure true progress. I work with brands and formulations that consistently demonstrate positive outcomes because consistency allows me to treat precisely and ethically.

Some may disagree. As it challenges the trend culture of skincare. I’ve even fired clients over this. šŸ¤·šŸæā€ā™€ļøBut the ones who get it trust me to lead with science, not trends. For my patients and future patients, know that my recommendations are intentional, not impulsive. Once we stabilize and correct, you will have more freedom to customize. But during the work phase, we stay consistent so your results are not left up to chance.

I always remind patients that choose to take accutane (I clear patients without) that is rarely just the end of the story, it’s a whole body process. Can happen? Yes

What I’ve learned over the years is that accutane doesn’t make your hair fall out per se. But it shifts how your body prioritizes renewal. The same medication that reduces oil glands, inflammation, and acne activity is also working systemically. And when that happens, your hair cycle sometimes pauses for a season while your body redirects energy toward repair.

I’ve also noticed that patients under chronic stress, on restrictive diets, or with undiagnosed low iron or vitamin D are more likely to notice shedding during treatment. The hair follicle is incredibly sensitive to nutritional and metabolic shifts. When the body is under any form of internal stress, whether emotional or biochemical, it conserves resources for vital organs first, and hair growth takes a temporary back seat.

What’s interesting to me is how often these conversations open the door to deeper healing. Getting eyes on your labs, supporting nutrition, adding micronutrients when needed, and work on consistent meals and better sleep is where I come in.

If you’re on and noticing hair changes, remember: please speak to your prescribing physician but know I’m always happy to supplement any additional support. In most cases, it is reversible and an opportunity to build resilience. For more info, check out my recent blog post! Questions, drop below.

STRESSED BODY = STRESSED SKIN

A lot of acne conversations stop at clogged pores, but breakouts aren’t just a surface issue. When your body is inflamed, or stressed, it can show up as congestion, sensitivity, dullness, lingering breakouts, and slower healing. Internal inflammation affects how your skin hydrates, how your pores shed dead skin, how oil behaves, and how fast your skin recovers…all things that make (the five pillars I always talk about) acne more likely to show up and stick around.

Things like blood-sugar swings, lack of healthy fats, low hydration, medications, stress, hormonal shifts, and sun exposure can disrupt your skin’s systems: slowing cell turnover, throwing off oil balance, irritating pores, and weakening your barrier. And once the barrier is compromised, the skin is more reactive, oil oxidizes easily, and inflammation keeps feeding the breakout cycle.

That’s why I don’t just look at pimples. I look at the why it's happening. Inside and out, acne responds best to a whole-picture approach:

• Barrier support
• Regulated oil production and dead skin build up
• Balanced bacteria
• Gentle, steady exfoliation
• Inflammation control — gut, hormones, lifestyle, skin

Acne is a skin condition, but it’s also a systems conversation that is whole heartedly interconnected. When we support the internal environment and the skin barrier together, breakouts calm, the skin repairs faster, and results last. My goal is to teach you the tools for sustainable results.

I see a lot of patients with rosacea, across every skin type and complexion. On lighter skin, it often shows up as redness and visible vessels. On deeper tones, it can look completely different, thicker texture in the mid face, small raised bumps, and uneven areas that often get mistaken for acne or irritation.

And here’s the part most people don’t talk about:
Rosacea can take a real emotional toll. The constant flushing, the stinging, that feeling of not knowing what might set it off next, it can wear on your confidence. I see it all the time in my chair.

When your barrier is compromised or your vessels stay on high alert, even small changes…heat, cold, stress, skincare can feel like a full-blown flare. Rosacea isn’t just redness. It’s inflammation, vascular over-response, and microbiome imbalance all happening at once. That’s why it looks different for everyone…one person flushes, another gets bumps, someone else just feels tight and hot.

The goal is to teach it regulation again. That starts with consistency: QUALITY gentle cleansing, lipid repair, and daily SPF. From there, we can use in clinic tools like laser-assisted facials, microneedling, mesotherapy, or light-based therapy to calm inflammation and rebuild integrity.

Rosacea needs precision and a plan that understands your skin’s behavior. Swipe through to learn how to bring reactive skin back to balance ✨

DO YOU PICK YOUR SKIN?

Skin picking isn’t always just a bad habit but can be considered a disorder. Yup, according to the DSM, Excoriation Disorder, a condition where repetitive picking becomes an stress-relief loop tied to anxiety, perfectionism, or self-soothing.

In darker skin tones, the aftermath can be even more visible and emotionally triggering, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, texture irregularities, and scarring that linger long after the trauma has healed. Like I always tell people, dermatology and aesthetics is 60% skin, 40% psych.

If you’ve tried everything from barrier repair creams, spot correctors, facials, the best lasers and still find yourself caught in the cycle, it may be time to seek professional guidance. Sometimes the skin can’t fully heal until the nervous system does too. Working with a dermatologist, psychiatrist, or like clinician can help you explore whether supplemental or medication-based support makes sense for you. This isn’t an either/or approach… it’s holistic.

SO WHATS THE DEAL WITH NAC?
You’ve probably heard of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) … or maybe not. It’s an amino-acid derivative that helps regulate glutamate, the brain chemical tied to impulse control. In a recent clinical trial, 56% of participants taking NAC showed a major reduction in picking behaviors compared to placebo. NAC works along the brain-skin axis, helping calm the compulsive urge while topical treatments and procedures do the external repair.

From a clinical standpoint, it’s a reminder that skin health and mental health are deeply connected. For my patients, it’s never just about ā€œstop touchingā€ or the blame game. Trust me .. I get it. I see hundreds of people. My focus is retraining the body’s stress response while also focusing on skin health and behavioral awareness.

If you’re considering supplements like NAC, work with a licensed practitioner who can evaluate what’s right for you. Because those beautiful before and after photos you see? The real goal is KEEPING the results…. sustainability, and addressing why your skin keeps cycling back.

Is this something you’ve experienced too?

I really love what I do! The longer I do this, the more I realize how much I value trust. When someone lets me guide their skin over time... not just for a quick fix... that’s when real progress happens. I don’t take that lightly.

Skin health is personal to me, and it deserves a space where you feel seen, educated, and supported, not sold to. To many more years changing the skin game, love you guys!✨

INJECTABLES IS NOT A LINEAR JOURNEY

This journey is never linear, and that’s something I remind every patient.

Our facial structure evolves over time through multiple layers: bone resorption, fat pad repositioning, muscular dynamics, and changes in collagen and skin quality. Each of these elements plays a role in how we age and how our results hold. Your sessions with me are not a single event, but a holistic process that takes precision, patience, and trust.

When you begin this journey, it’s important to understand that treatments like filler are part of a continuum, sometimes it means adding structure and lift, other times dissolving or refining. I focus on reading those subtle shifts and adjust the approach accordingly.

I also never judge the work of another injector unless there’s clear negligence. Skin and filler evolve… and what looked balanced a year ago might sit differently today. You might have lost weight, your skin elasticity may have changed, acne not as intense or your goals may have shifted. These are all things I evaluate and discuss in person to make sure we’re approaching your journey with context and intention.

I don’t ā€œfixā€ but make small adjustments to make you feel more confident, more aligned, and more yourself.

My approach has always been rooted in precision grounded in skin health…not just artistry. Every assessment starts with evaluating skin integrity, volume balance, and functional anatomy before a syringe ever comes into play.

At my core, I’m an esthetician first… skin always comes first. As I continue refining my craft and prioritizing your safety, I’ve been advancing my training in ultrasound-guided injectable techniques. This technology allows me to visualize each layer beneath the skin and deliver results that are even more precise, natural, and intentional. Questions? Comment below ✨
