Fad or for real? How to know if that hot new skin care product is worth the money

Fad or Forreal Skincare

By: Dr. Corey Hartman, Skin Wellness Dermatology Billions of dollars are spent every year by companies marketing their latest and greatest skin care products. Just about every week, we hear of a new “groundbreaking” product that’s pretty much “guaranteed” to get rid of wrinkles, cure our blemishes, and make our skin look younger and healthier.  We see these new promising skincare products, and we take note that some of our favorite influencers are even claiming these products are the real deal. (And don’t get me started on celebrities creating their own skincare lines touting the benefits of olive oil. Yes, I’m looking at you JLo.)

5 delightful ingredients made to combat dry winter skin

By: Dr. Corey Hartman, Skin Wellness Dermatology During the winter, dry skin is probably the most common and maybe even one of the most bothersome skin conditions. During the wintertime, the drier air can suck the moisture out of our skin. And even things that we may not give a second thought like long, hot showers or our favorite soaps can make things worse.  This is why many people experience not only dry, but itchy skin, and even cracks in the skin that can be quite painful.  Sometimes dry skin may need some special attention, especially if you’re suffering from an eczema-based skin condition, and this may just mean that you need something more like a topical steroid. But other times, simple over-the-counter ingredients can …

Is Botox® safe to put in your body? 3 Facts that say yes

By: Dr. Corey Hartman, Skin Wellness Dermatology Though I feel most people have gotten to the point where they know Botox® isn’t going to injure or harm them, patients do still ask about the long-term risks of doing Botox on a regular basis. Is it going to be safe for me to start this? Am I going to be able to continue doing it? Are there any long-term risks of putting this into my body on a regular basis?  These are the types of questions I typically get from patients looking to start Botox and keep up with it. I understand their hesitation, and it’s definitely something to think about before you start regularly injecting a foreign substance into your body. But we do know …

How to Remove Cystic Acne: Here’s the Truth and How You Can Finally Get Rid of It

By: Dr. Corey Hartman, Skin Wellness Dermatology Cystic acne is definitely the most severe form of subcutaneous acne that contributes to significant scarring. So when people talk about acne scars with the textural changes, like ice pick scars or rolling scars, this is the type of acne they typically have. Acne cysts pose additional risks, as popping them can lead to scarring and infections. Unfortunately, treating these types of acne scars can be hard. Improving their appearance can only be done using invasive, expensive, and often uncomfortable procedures like laser resurfacing. Early treatment is crucial to prevent acne scarring, as severe cystic acne is highly inflammatory and likely to cause significant skin damage and scars. If you’re suffering from cystic acne, this is why I …

How to get rid of chest wrinkles – depending on your budget

By: Dr. Corey Hartman, Skin Wellness Dermatology While the main focus of the majority of my patients is their face, eventually, they’re going to start noticing wrinkles on the chest. As we get older, the skin on our chest is going to show our age just like another part of the body, if not more so.  Then once they start to notice their chest, the main reason it bothers patients is the color and the fact that it starts to get kind of saggy. This is why getting rid of chest wrinkles really involves improving both the texture as well as the color that starts to change along with it.  Here are the best ways to get rid of chest wrinkles depending on how much …

Are you being influenced? Here’s why you should NOT use the same skincare routine as your favorite influencer.

By: Dr. Corey Hartman, Skin Wellness Dermatology We all have our favorite influencers on Instagram. Whether they seem to live a lavishly fun lifestyle or be “in the know” on certain products or brands, we like to keep up with them and what they’re into. You like their fashion sense – so you shop the same brands. You like their hair styles – so maybe you try them out on your own hair. One thing you should not do? Automatically use the same skincare products. Listen, just because it works for one person doesn’t mean it’s going to work for you. Ever been let down after a visit to Ulta, Sephora, or CVS for that matter? It’s kind of the same thing here – all …

Natural looking lip enhancement: A closer look at Restylane Kysse

By: Dr. Corey Hartman, Skin Wellness Dermatology It’s so funny to me. Volumizing and filling the lips has been the “new thing” even with the masks ordinances. But maybe because of the masks, it’s a good time to get it done? I don’t know.  Either way, I’m excited to say that we now have a new product available called Restylane Kysse that does a really great job at enhancing the contour and defining the border of the lips. Sure, we’ve had lip fillers available such as Vollure from Allergan, but now we have something from Galderma (the makers of Restylane) that can also get a good result.  There are a few others out there, but trust me, not all lip fillers are created equal.   There …
