Dr. Corey Hartman’s journey of opening Skin Wellness and an update on our new location!
By: Dr. Corey Hartman, Skin Wellness Dermatology I tell the story all the time of how I came to open my own practice. Patients seem to be curious of how I got to where I am and what motivated me to become a dermatologist. That’s why I’m going to share my story with you today. It seems over the years, there’s really never been a dull moment. It’s been a journey full of growth, both within my own professional career and in my practice, and I’ve genuinely loved every minute of it. Truth be told, ever since I was about thirteen years old, I dreamed of becoming a physician. What made me aspire to be a physician was the fact that Louisiana’s best dermatologist lived …
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 …
Men, There’s nothing wrong with taking care of your skin. I’ll even tell you how.
By: Dr. Corey Hartman, Skin Wellness Dermatology Do I think most men want to take care of their skin? Of course I do. I think some men are just a little embarrassed to show they care while others are afraid we’re going to give them too much to do. But this is why I believe simplicity is the most important aspect of a good men’s skincare regimen! I think most guys just don’t know how easy it can be and what the possibilities really are. And just for the record, there’s nothing wrong with caring about your skin no matter who you are. What do men tend to forget when it comes to skincare? They forget to ask for guidance. It’s a good idea to …

The truth behind Botox® alternatives
By: Dr. Corey Hartman, Skin Wellness Dermatology You know Botox® is the gold standard for treating wrinkles and facial creases, but maybe due to financial reasons or the fact that you simply aren’t prepared for injectables, you’re just not ready to take the leap. When Botox is the best solution to improve my patient’s concerns, but they aren’t quite ready, they often ask me about the best alternatives. But are there any true alternatives to Botox? Are there any good alternatives to Botox? I’ll say this in the beginning. There aren’t any real alternatives to Botox. There are things you can do that might help to prevent wrinkles, but as far as giving the same treatment, it just doesn’t exist. There’s nothing else like it, …
Controlled Injury: Here’s what it really means, and how you can benefit from it
By: Dr. Corey Hartman, Skin Wellness Dermatology Microneedling, lasers, chemical peels, you name it. As a dermatologist, just about every cosmetic treatment I do besides injectables is considered “controlled injury.” But what’s the real meaning of this buzzword? Is there science behind it? Are there proven benefits? Some may think controlled injury is just another fad, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. Here’s what you need to know about controlled injury, the significance of the word “controlled,” and most importantly, how your skin can reap the benefits. Controlled injury: What does this buzzword really mean? To put it simply, with controlled injury, you’re using some sort of manipulation to alter or “injure” the skin in a way that’s meant to enhance it. This …
