Valentine’s is not my favorite holiday.

It’s stressful and too much pressure to have a romantic evening.

When I’m feeling nervous, stressed, or overwhelmed, I do the PHYSIOLOGY SIGH:
1. Take 2 quick breaths
2. Long, slow exhale
3. Repeat 3 times

Have you seen a baby double-inhale when they cry? That’s because they’re self‑soothing.

The long exhale shifts your body toward parasympathetic mode to calm your nervous system, reduce blood pressure, and reduce cortisol levels.

I do 3 rounds before I walk into a big presentation, go on TV, or after an intense meeting.

If Valentine’s stress hits: calm your body first. Then decide what you want to do.

Save + send it to someone who needs a reset.

And tell me who you’re spending Valentine’s with:💘 👯 🐾 😌 (Lover / Pal / Fur baby/ Solo)

If you feel lightheaded, keep it gentle and stop.

Peptide‑curious? So are many of my patients.

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that can act as biologic signals.

Two of the most popular are BPC‑157 + GHK‑Cu. 

BPC‑157: Used for tissue repair signaling, recovery, anti-inflammatory properties, and overall wellness. The science is still evolving.

GHK‑Cu: Discussed in the context of skin repair and collagen/extracellular matrix signaling (available as topical & injectable).

Before you buy, ask what a peptide‑literate physician asks:

⭐️ COA (certificate of analysis)
⭐️ Purity testing
⭐️ Sterility standards (especially if injectable)

For a real conversation, find a doctor who will talk peptides.

Inflammation has become a dirty word. It shouldn’t be.
Inflammation is the first step in tissue healing and recovery, as I’ve recently been reminded.
The real issue is when inflammation doesn’t resolve.  
Healing, and optimal results from procedures such as lasers, energy devices (like Sofwave), microneedling, and biostimulatory injectables (Sculptra, skin boosters) depend on biomarkers, sleep, stress regulation, and hormonal balance. When any of these are off, inflammation stops being adaptive and becomes chronic.
This is also where emerging tools (like peptides) are interesting.  Not as shortcuts, but as signals that may help the body complete the healing process rather than stay stuck in it.
That distinction is how I think about recovery, aging, and skin health.
Thank you to  and  for hosting a thoughtful, substantive conversation.
Looking forward to getting to know you,

Three broken ribs.
Not the birthday chapter I planned.

But they won’t stop me from doing what I love.
The mountains sustain me; they always have.

Recovery isn’t abstract for me right now.
I’m living what I advise my patients: sleep, stress reduction, letting the body do what it’s designed to do when you give it the right conditions.

Falls happen, on the mountain and in life. We get back up with help.
If you’ve dealt with broken ribs or bones, share what helped you.

58 years young today.

I don’t romanticize aging;
I take it seriously.

Strength matters.
Health matters.
Who you build your life with matters.

Experience raises your standards.
I’m proud of mine.

After 25 years of treating faces and bodies every day, one principle hasn’t changed:



Results should still look good 5, 10, 15 years from now.



That means restraint.

That means judgment

That means saying “no” when something isn’t right for that patient at that time.



If you’re looking for a doctor who plans long-term, you’re in the right place.

Peptides aren’t the magic shortcut your feed is selling you.
They’re powerful biological signals, and context matters.

Names like BPC-157 and GHK-Cu pop up in wellness conversations.
They’re amino acid chains that can influence repair, inflammation, and regeneration.

But powerful doesn’t mean universally appropriate.
Used casually, they can do more harm than good.

In my practice, peptides are never an impulse add-on.
I look at your history, labs, medications, and long-term goals before they ever become part of a plan.

And sometimes, the most sophisticated decision is restraint.

Save this if peptides are on your radar.
Follow for Part 2: the peptide myths I hear most.

Tomorrow I'll be speaking on the "AI in Aesthetics" panel at 's Aesthetics Tech Forum in Newport Beach, discussing how this technology is shaping how we think about skin and longevity.

I'll be sharing how I already use AI tools to refine my patients' results. I'll also preview some of my new research on using AI to optimize outcomes of regenerative treatments.

What do you think about AI in healthcare: excited, unsure, or both? Tell me in the comments so I know w1hat you want answered.

Most tightening plans stop at your face. Mine don’t.
 
Sofwave uses non-invasive ultrasound to treat the mid-dermis and build collagen, without melting fat or filler (shown in clinical studies). 
 
In my Beverly Hills practice, I use it where gravity shows up first: jawline, neck, and the body areas that quietly start to soften.
 
Most of my patients don’t need numbing, there’s no recovery time, and many see and feel firming & tightening as soon as I finish the treatment, with more lift in following weeks.
 
I’m a dermatologist and Harvard-trained physician, and I treated myself before I opened this room to patients.
 
Save if you want lift without surgery, and if you care who’s behind the settings.

If you’re on a GLP-1, or thinking about it, you need more than a prescription. You need a skin plan.

Weight loss (especially if it’s fast) can make faces and bodies hollow & sag.

My job, as a dermatologist for over 25 years, is to protect my patients’ collagen and support structure to help them stay firmer even as they get smaller.

This requires taking care of their inner and outer health.

Many of my patients start Sofwave and other regenerative treatments as they begin GLP-1s. But it’s only one part of an overall protocol.

Very new research shows that skin cells have GLP-1 receptors that can regulate how skin behaves.

Save this if you’re on a GLP-1 and share if you know someone who is.

And as always, seek medical advice from a doctor who knows you.

I treat elite skin + health challenges daily.

But at 57? I refuse to shrink. I choose big mountains, more muscle, and an occasional giant dumpling.

My patients want more than youthful skin. They want strength, energy, and confidence.

That's where we start: skin, muscle, hormones, and lifestyle -- all on the same plan.

If you're in your 40s, 50s, or beyond and want a doctor who cares about your inner and outer health, you're my kind of patient.
