Overhyped Skincare Ingredients: What’s Worth It and What’s a Waste

https://youtube.com/shorts/6vdUYPzdKcc



Skincare marketing is wild. Every week, there’s a new miracle ingredient promising to erase wrinkles, shrink pores, and make you glow like a lightbulb. But let’s be honest—not every trending ingredient is worth your money. Some are great, some are overrated, and some are just… marketing fluff.

First, let’s talk about gold-infused skincare. Sure, it sounds fancy, but does your skin actually need gold? No. There’s little to no scientific evidence that it does anything beyond looking luxurious in a jar. If you’re paying extra for gold, you’re basically funding the brand’s marketing team.

Next up: collagen in topical creams. I get it—collagen is essential for youthful skin. But here’s the problem: collagen molecules are too big to pe*****te the skin. Slathering it on your face won’t boost your body’s collagen production. If you really want firmer skin, go for ingredients that stimulate collagen, like retinol, peptides, and vitamin C.

Then there’s charcoal in skincare. Unless you’re dealing with an oil spill on your face, you don’t need this in your daily routine. While charcoal can absorb oil, it can also strip your skin, leaving it dry and irritated. Not exactly the glow-up you were hoping for.

Here’s my advice: Don’t fall for flashy ingredients with no science behind them. Stick to the tried-and-true powerhouses—retinol, vitamin C, niacinamide, peptides, and SPF. Everything else? Fun to try, but probably not a game-changer.

Bottom line? Your skin doesn’t care about trends. It cares about what actually works. Choose wisely, and don’t let marketing drain your wallet.

Zepbound vs. Wegovy – Is the Weight Loss Battle Already Over?

https://youtube.com/shorts/rsxaJZIJgEU



Alright, weight loss world—get ready for some major tea. The final results from the SURMOUNT-5 study just dropped, and guess what? Zepbound, also known as tirzepatide, officially outperformed Wegovy (semaglutide) in head-to-head weight loss. And yes, this is kind of a big deal.

If you're not familiar, both Zepbound and Wegovy are part of the GLP-1 family of meds—you know, the ones getting all the attention on social media and late-night talk shows. But tirzepatide doesn’t just target one receptor—it hits two. That extra mechanism of action seems to be making a real difference. Patients on Zepbound in this study lost significantly more weight than those on Wegovy. We’re talking double-digit differences in percentages, and in the world of medical weight loss, that’s huge.

But here’s what I always tell my patients: The best medication is the one that works for you. More aggressive weight loss isn’t always better if it comes with side effects you can’t handle or if you’re not making the lifestyle changes to support it long-term. These meds aren’t magic—they’re momentum. You still have to show up and do your part.
So what does this mean for you? If you’re considering medical weight loss and want the strongest tool in the toolbox, Zepbound might be it. But it’s not just about chasing numbers. It’s about matching the right medication to your goals, your health profile, and your habits.

We’re here to help you figure that out. Come see us for a full-body consult—because whether it’s Zepbound, Wegovy, or something else entirely, your journey should always be personalized, professional, and, yes, sustainable. Let’s build results you can actually live with.

Why PDO Threads Are Not the New Alternative to Facelifts!

https://youtu.be/DzagitzMKvU

Let’s talk about PDO thread lifts. If you’ve been on social media, you’ve probably seen influencers and even some doctors claiming that PDO threads are the “non-surgical facelift” you’ve been waiting for. But here’s the truth—PDO threads are not a real alternative to a facelift.

1. They Don’t Offer Long-Term Results
PDO threads dissolve over time, usually within 6 to 12 months. While they do provide some initial lift, they don’t deliver the kind of long-lasting results that a surgical facelift can. With a proper facelift, you’re looking at results that can last 10-15 years. That’s a massive difference.

2. They Can Cause Complications
Threads can break, migrate, or create irregularities under the skin. I’ve seen patients come in after getting PDO threads with asymmetry, dimpling, and even visible threads poking through the skin. And guess what? Fixing these complications is not always simple.

3. They Don’t Address Deep Tissue Changes
A real facelift isn’t just about pulling the skin—it’s about repositioning deep structures and addressing volume loss. PDO threads only offer a surface-level lift, meaning they can’t replace what a facelift actually does.

4. They Can Be More Expensive in the Long Run
Since PDO threads dissolve, you’ll need repeat treatments—often every 6 to 12 months. Over time, this can cost more than getting a facelift in the first place. If you’re looking for value, a facelift is actually the better investment.

5. Better Alternatives Exist
If you’re not ready for surgery, there are better non-invasive options like fillers, Botox, laser treatments, and skin-tightening devices that can give you noticeable improvement without the risks associated with PDO threads.

Bottom line: PDO threads are not a substitute for a facelift. They might be marketed that way, but they don’t provide the same longevity, safety, or effectiveness. If you’re considering any type of lifting procedure, do your research, and always consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon.

The future of wound healing is here

A new class of injectable skin grafts is transforming how we approach healing.

Designed to mimic the body’s natural dermis, this innovation accelerates tissue repair in severe burns, ulcers, and hard-to-heal wounds — without traditional grafting.

At Dr. Speron Plastic Surgery, SC, we’re always exploring the edge of regenerative science to bring patients the safest, most effective treatments available.

Healing shouldn’t be a waiting game — and now, it doesn’t have to be.

Sleepmaxxing: The Real Beauty Hack You’re Probably Ignoring

https://youtube.com/shorts/Hra9kcijwJ0



Want better skin, fewer wrinkles, and more energy? Forget the 12-step skincare routine—start with better sleep. The latest trend all over social media is sleepmaxxing—aka optimizing your sleep to maximize beauty, health, and performance. And guess what? It actually works.

Most people focus on what they put on their skin, but the real secret is what happens while you sleep. Your body repairs itself overnight, producing collagen, reducing inflammation, and balancing hormones. Skimp on sleep, and it shows—dull skin, dark circles, and yes, even faster aging.

So how do you actually sleepmaxx? First, ditch the screens before bed. Blue light messes with melatonin, making it harder to fall asleep and stay asleep. Second, be strategic about skincare. Ingredients like retinol and peptides work best at night when your skin is in repair mode. Third, create a real sleep routine. Set a bedtime, make your room cool and dark, and try magnesium or glycine to help relax your nervous system.

Here’s what I tell my patients: “You can buy all the expensive skincare in the world, but if you’re running on four hours of sleep, you’re aging yourself faster than any serum can fix.” Sleep isn’t just rest—it’s your body’s best anti-aging tool.

Bottom line? Good sleep is the cheapest beauty treatment out there. Prioritize it, and your skin (and entire body) will thank you.
