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

Posted on January 21, 2021

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.) There are some people out there who just can’t help themselves. They must have these new products ASAP. But if …

Have a Tattoo You Don’t Like? Here’s What You Should Know About Getting It Removed

Posted on January 19, 2021

Press

January 15, 2021 by Danielle Jackson I’ve always said that tattoos being permanent is kind of like a blessing and a curse — the blessing being that a design that means a lot to you gets to stay on your body forever; the curse being that, for some people, “forever” can feel like a big commitment, and there’s always the risk you’ll regret getting it. Whether it’s an ex’s name, a basic butterfly, or a design that just brings up a bad memory, there are tons of people out with ink they’ve grown tired of, but the good news is that there is another option. Thanks to modern technology, it’s possible to have tattoos removed via laser. If that’s something you’re thinking about either now …

How Often Should You Get a Facial for Real Results?

Posted on January 19, 2021

Press

January 8, 2021 by Jessica Harrington In most circumstances, how often you get a beauty treatment is a matter of preference, but when it comes to facials, there are real skin-care benefits to going with some regularity. Celebrities and beauty influencers have long boasted about the magic of frequent facials — and who doesn’t want clear, glowing, youthful-looking skin? — but facial treatments can cost a pretty penny. This begs the question: how often do you really need to get a facial in order to see noticeable results? If you’re someone who has the means and uses trips to the spa as a way to unwind and destress, then there’s no harm in treating yourself as often as once a week — given that it’s …

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

Posted on November 15, 2020

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

Posted on October 28, 2020

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

Posted on September 10, 2020

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.

Posted on August 13, 2020

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 …
