Yes to Botox video please. I asked my derm for a recommendation for a good anti-wrinkle eye cream and she recommended Botox. (I’m 30 years old.) She said Botox is the best for stopping wrinkles before you start to get them. I was shocked that was her one and only response to my question.

I asked my derm if I should do a chemical peel for my chest wrinkles. He said Botox. It did NOT work, even temporarily. I paid $600. Cash grab! This was in my 30s. I should’ve started using Tretinoin. But I did switch derms after that.

@@galato4234 no, it's not bad! It's just that it's only useful for as long as you use it (and only certain types of hair loss), so it's not like it stimulates hair growth & you're set. Once you stop, the hair goes away again. Plus it's not super cheap either. And I just don't like the idea of being dependent on something that requires that kind of lifetime commitment. I'm afraid I'll get used to having my hair back, and then one day I start getting a little lazy or maybe simply can't afford it & boom, the trauma of losing it all over again 😔 Everyone is diff though and some people don't mind. It can definitely be effective though! I haven't used it though, so you should look into some hair loss communities for more info about what it's like. They're prob way more informed than I am 🙃

I can definitely attest to the fact that an impaired barrier will make basically *any* sunscreen sting. That’s the first way I notice if I have an issue: my normal stuff starts to sting. As soon as I’m in a better spot, I can use any of my sunscreens, no issue. I’ll start to convince myself sometimes that that sunscreen is causing irritation. Important to remember that often it’s your barrier, not the product.

I would really appreciate it if you would discuss the raised areas of skin and similar things caused by sun exposure, etc (in other words, texture and bumps that aren’t acne-related), and how they can be treated/removed. Thank you for providing such information concisely - I like your presentation style very much!

Another great video Dr. Ellis! Yes to a Q&A about botox and fillers please!!!

Okay we NEED to know what is your everyday makeup routine bc you look so BEAUTIFUL and healthy. Not too much makeup, just right. You could be like Megan Fox’s cousin 🤣 love it!

Would love a video centered around botox/equivalents, especially for newbies! I'm very interested in getting it for overactive muscles in my forehead and jaw that cause headaches.

Yes! We love Q & A videos. Here’s one for the next segment. I’ve always heard that retinoids should be avoided while pregnant. But I was on the Osmosis website and they actually state that both of their retinaldehyde creams are pregnancy safe. How can this be? Are retinoids kind of like BHA, where some derms think it’s ok in low % and others just shy away to be sure?

I would definitely love to see a botox video. Very curious what a dermatologist point of view would be. Is rosacea always accompanied by sensitivity?

Thank you so much for the thorough video!! Really appreciate it 😊. If I could trouble you with another question RE: product wait times. How long, if at all, do we need to wait after applying vitamin C or a retinoid, before moving to the next product like moisturizer? I heard that because of pH (vit C) and conversion times (retinoids), it’s necessary to wait 5-30 mins.

This was very informative, lots of good questions. 😀 Maybe you could do separate Q & A vids on specific topics, as I’m sure you get tons of questions on many different topics.

I would suggest doing it 4-6 months before event, and if you like results, do it again about 2-4 weeks before (the effect is not immediate). I am 44 and have been getting botox for about 1.5 year. I love it and wish I would have started a little sooner. Good luck! 🙂
