Part 2: Viral Hair Loss Treatments Ranked by a Derm 👀


• Microneedling + exosomes: promising
• Microneedling + PRP: inconsistent
• Ketoconazole shampoo: minimal impact
• Rosemary oil: overhyped

Part 1: Viral Hair Loss Treatments Ranked by a Derm 👀 (Some Might Surprise You)

Not all hair loss treatments are created equal—and some are WAY overhyped.

Here’s how I actually rate the most popular options:
• Copper peptides + microneedling: mid
• Topical minoxidil: gold standard
• Oral minoxidil: effective, but not for everyone
• Finasteride (men): strong option
• Nutrafol… let’s talk 😅

If you’re dealing with hair loss, save this before you waste money on the wrong thing.

UVA is hitting your skin… ALL day 😳

Wow, did you know… UVA light can pe*****te windows, cloud cover, rain, and even fog—and it’s present all day, all year round. That means your skin is exposed even when you’re driving, indoors by a window, or on a cloudy day.

SPF isn’t just for sunny days—it’s daily protection.

UVA is silently aging your face… deeper than you think 😳

UVA rays don’t just cause wrinkles—they pe*****te deep into the skin and contribute to breakdown of collagen and elastin, which support your skin’s structure. Over time, this can lead to volume loss, sagging, and accelerated aging—even through windows.

SPF isn’t only about preserving your skin, but also preserving your facial structure.

The silent crisis no one was talking about 💔

Without hormone replacement therapy, women faced higher risks of cardiovascular disease, certain cancers, mood disorders — and in some cases, even su***de. Yet for years, these struggles were dismissed and belittled by society. The good news? Recent studies have countered the old data, showing that when done correctly, hormone supplementation can actually improve cardiovascular health.

One controversial study changed women’s health for decades 🔬

Many physicians stopped prescribing hormone replacement therapy based on a widely criticized study from the late 1990s-early 2000s… but the data was poorly designed and misinterpreted, and the fallout caused significant suffering for women.

Sunlight is aging you faster than genetics ever could 😳☀️

90% of skin aging is due to sun damage. Not your genes. Not bad luck. The sun. 🌞 And by perimenopause, you’ve already lost 30% of your collagen. But here’s the plot twist — only 16% of how you look is actually genetic. The rest? Totally in your control. 👏 Wear SPF like your face depends on it. Because it does!

Your Skin Is Trying to Tell You Something 🚨

That redness on your face? It might be more than skin deep. 😳 Rosacea, psoriasis, and other skin conditions are often signs of what’s happening inside your body — from gut bacteria imbalances to heart disease risk.

Welcome to SkinHappy MD

Dr Julie Kenner received a PhD from Boston University in Pathology and an MD from George Washington University. She served as a military physician and medical research scientist for 9 years in the Army, and completed her clinical subspecialty training in dermatology at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center. She has nearly 2 decades of experience in cosmetic, general and surgical dermatology and ran one of the most active and innovative full-spectrum private dermatology practices in Hawaii. She has also published over 40 articles, edits peer reviewed journals, has served as an editor for the online eMedicine textbook and regularly lectures on dermatology, cosmetic dermatology, Over the years, Dr. Kenner listened to the frustrations of her patients as they tried to make sense of the dizzying number of skin care products available, all claiming the same benefit. Separating fact from fiction in the competitive market of skin care products has become a daunting task for the serious consumer craving knowledge to guide their actions and purchases.

In response to this need, Dr. Kenner created a simple educational tool called “Dr. Kenner’s Topical Nutritional Pyramid.” This framework, which categorizes and describes the eight basic groupings of skin rejuvenation products, is loosely fashioned after the familiar “food pyramid”, and has been designed to educate and empower patients to make healthy choices for their “skin diet”.

Drawing on “Dr. Kenner’s Topical Nutritional Pyramid,” Dr. Kenner educates and coaches patients on the proper use of prescription and cosmeceutical grade skin products. Seeing through the hype and hyperbole of many skin care marketing campaigns.

Utilizing convenient, secure online platforms, as well as providing in-person services, Dr. Kenner is committed to providing patients expert dermatological consultation and consistent coaching throughout their journey to healthy and beautiful skin. Using science, a deep understanding of the biology of skin, and the sophistication and comfort of latest technologies, Dr. Kenner is at the pinnacle of skin care.
