I just had the Derma V laser treatment.
If you have sun damage, brown spots, redness, broken capillaries, or uneven skin tone, like me, that skincare alone isn’t addressing, this is worth knowing.
Especially in midlife, when decades of UV exposure start showing up on your face, neck, and chest all at once.
It’s one of the most advanced lasers in aesthetic medicine right now, combining two wavelengths that target pigmentation and vascular concerns simultaneously. What used to require two or three separate lasers is now one treatment. Minimal downtime, minimal discomfort, real results.
I went in with a plan, and I stuck to it. My focus was my neck, not my face, not a full facial rejuvenation package, not an add-on treatment. Just what I came in for.
They offered products on my way out. I passed.
This is something I want every woman to hear: You are allowed to go into a dermatology or aesthetic appointment with a specific goal and leave with only that. You do not have to buy the serum. You do not have to add another treatment. You are a paying patient, not a captive audience.
Stay focused. Leave with exactly that and nothing more.
Finding a provider you can actually trust, one who recommends what you need and nothing more, is harder than it should be, especially women in menopause.
Which is exactly why I created the Menopause Care Consult.
One hour with me. I’ll connect you with vetted, trusted dermatologists, hair loss experts, and menopause care experts, with offices that are efficient, and specialists in my network who are known for putting your outcomes first, not their bottom line.
