You can spend thousands on lasers for melasma and hyperpigmentation… but daily habits matter just as much.

Heat and inflammation are major triggers for melasma. That means things like hot yoga, saunas, and even certain light therapies can worsen pigment or undo your results.

If you’re treating melasma or stubborn pigmentation, controlling heat, inflammation, and triggers is just as important as the treatment itself.

As a dermatologist and a mom of 3, I see two things happening right now:
Preteens and teens are being pulled into adult skincare routines they simply don’t need.
Anti-aging serums, strong exfoliating acids, and multi-step routines are designed for mature skin concerns, not young, developing skin.
For kids and teens, the goal of skincare should be much simpler:
✔ Skin health
✔ Hygiene
✔ Sun protection
✔ Acne treatment if needed
This stage is about building healthy habits, not solving problems that don’t exist yet.
When skincare becomes focused on preventing wrinkles at 12 or fixing “flaws” that aren’t real, it can create a negative relationship with their skin.
Instead, we should be teaching kids that skincare is about taking care of their bodies and protecting their skin, not chasing perfection.
Healthy skin habits started early can last a lifetime.

If you want my dermatologist-approved list of simple skincare products for preteens and teens, comment TEEN and I’ll send it to your DMs.

Save this post for your next Sephora trip with your kids.

Setting realistic expectations is the hardest part of my job. It’s impossible to reverse years of aging and damage with one 30 minute session - although we will definitely make progress ! Consistency will make the biggest change - and that goes for anything !

Having children makes you look at potential differently. This trend made me tear up every time I saw it. I’m proud of the little girl I was believing in her dream and seeing it through. Wouldn’t change a thing 🫶.

Marriage is full of compromises … but aging for me is not one of them.

Couples that get treatment together - stay together.

Quick rundown of procedures for those who asked : Earlobe filler, facial, lip filler, radiofrequency for the eyes, neck Sculptra, LED light for hair regrowth, ablative resurfacing for skin, micro current, collagen mask, radiofrequency for the neck 🫶

WDYM my partner doesn’t need to worry about me 🤷🏼‍♀️. I am over here working hard, continuing a legacy, thriving and enjoying myself while doing it.

Don’t ever let your partner make you feel less than supported while you work on what you love.

A reminder for you and to my children.

Thank you for inspiring me to share this ❤️

This is my face a day after ablative laser, and suffice it to say it is a procedure where you want to make sure you have proper aftercare, proper oversight and avoid infection and other complications. People take medical procedures lightly and they should not be. I get so many messages about post procedure complications that are not followed up by the doctor or practitioner - it is truly scary out there.

And to my point in the video, if you are a patient - try to have some grace about timelines, not everything in medicine is cookie cutter and we are all trying the best we can to make sure things run smoothly. But some things are unavoidable as the human body does not always read the textbook. If you have ever fainted during a cosmetic procedure or any medical procedure you know what I’m talking about … but other things can happen too.

Life of a doctor, you are a patient not a client, are there complications during cosmetic procedures, where should you look for board certification

I love a good skincare regimen (not face yoga), but many of the things you can do at home will help MAINTAIN your treatments, they don’t move the needle forward significantly in terms of anti-aging. They work in CONJUNCTION with treatments you do in office. Everything has its’ place - Love, your friendly board-certified dermatologist.

RP with a tweak:

Do red light masks work, can skincare give you better skin, does face yoga help with antiaging
