There are so many skin care products.  You'd be surprised to learn that most simply don't work.  For many reasons - some molecules simply are too large to penetrate skin, some products don't have any active ingredients, some have ingredients that have no science, and some have ingredients that are applied at the wrong time of the day.  On today's show, we discuss my line of skincare - carefully thought out products with a strong scientific basis.

Earlobes are the forgotten stepchild of facial beauty.  While women adorn earlobes with diamonds and gold jewelry, when earlobes age, they wrinkle and shrivel, often relegated to a life behind hair.  But earlobe rejuvenation has come of age!  With fillers, lasers, reshaping procedures and repair of elongated earring holes, ears can once again become a center of sensuality.  Listen to this show to hear how plastic surgeons help your earlobes recapture lost beauty.

There are many facelifts being performed in the US.  Most leave scars in front of the ears.  But many people, particularly men, don't want these scars.  It seems obvious that you can just grab the excess skin in the middle of the neck and say..."if this were gone....".  On this show, we talk about exactly that procedure - it's experiencing a resurgence in popularity.  Tune it.   Understanding Hypophosphatemia: Recognition, Diagnosis, and TreatmentEndocrine experts distinguish Hypophosphatemia from osteoporosis & osteomalaciaListen on: Apple Podcasts   Spotify

It's getting harder and harder to believe new plastic surgery procedures actually work.  With the advent of "pay to play" medical journals, almost anything can get published.  This has weakened the age old trust of publications in "peer reviewed journals".  Just this week, journals published articles concluding that acupuncture can reduce wrinkles and deep chemical peels can substitute for upper eyelid lifts.  I don't believe either...and neither should you. And now I trust fewer scientific papers.  Tune in to become a medical skeptic.   Understanding Hypophosphatemia: Recognition, Diagnosis, and TreatmentEndocrine experts distinguish Hypophosphatemia from osteoporosis & osteomalaciaListen on: Apple Podcasts   Spotify
