It is absolutely magnificent watching someone being honest and ethical in their statements. You don't promise the impossible or try to sell something. The Internet needs more content creators like you covering various topics (diets, mental health, exercise).

I am from the Middle East, and grew up with elders. There seems to be a sanitization of aging in the western world, which in my opinion is sad. We age for a reason, what’s the point of fighting it and looking odd like some of these celebs. This whole marketing behind the beauty industry is frankly scary to curate this amount of fear from aging.

Your so right :) i came across this video looking for acne treatments as I have severe acne now that I have reached my 50s and it is painful and unsightly. But I think people who over do Botox and other cosmetic treatments look terrible. You loose your character, your trueness. It’s sad that people are so worried about their looks and feel that looking “perfect” is beautiful. No way, there is nothing more beautiful than seeing natural beauty in people, it doesn’t matter what we look like as your soul shines through and people can see the true and real you. I must admit as I have aged and after years of loving the sun, my skin is bad, it is sad to see my youth fading away, but my youth was just one part of my life and I looked healthy, natural and happy In my youth and it was a wonderful part of my life. However my children are grown now and the time comes when growing old becomes a time when we wear our lives on our face. We see the hardships or the stress free lives we have lived, it’s like a badge and I look like I’ve worked hard, (tired lol) smiled a lot and my smile and laughter lines are something I’m Proud of because my smile has reassured a lot of people and shown my kindness and made so many laugh. I’ll grow old gracefully and wear my lines with pride. There is so much more to a person than the skin on their face, if people think this is not the case then I feel very sad for them as they have missed out on the true essence of living.

I found your channel when I clicked on the video about how moisturisers are a scam. I've wasted so much money over the years since I was a teen and I've been wondering lately whether I've actually got anything out of them, really grateful to have an actual professional confirming my suspicion
Dr Sayed I have been struggling with PCOS, then dysthymia , severe anxiety and now allergic asthma ( the diseases just keep compounding).I find it really hard to get out of bed.Many say if you want to feel good, you must look good.I even tried 10 step Korean routine but found it neither fulfilling nor sustainable.I got so disillusioned that even cut my hair short out of self hatred.I saw your Skincare Minimalism video and thought of giving it a try.Days go by without looking in the mirror, There were days I did the 3 step without getting out of bed.I am so regretful of the person I have become that I can't even look myself in the mirror.I few days back I glanced at the mirror.My eyes got fixated .My face was shining.I stared at the mirror, I felt like I had found myself after A VERY LONG TIME.A thought crossed my mind- Why did I cut my hair in the first place ? For me to be able to think that, feel like myself again AFTER NEARLY 8 years is a big deal and that too without any medication.Thank you for giving me hope that things can get better and that I am capable of having a routine.Keep Educating us Doc .Wish you all the happiness in the world.

Hello Dr Sayed I love your videos you come up with great content. I am from India please tell me a good moisturiser, which is available in India and I am 25 so should i use retinol to my skincare.
I got botox for the first time less than a year ago and I love it. I've done it twice already. I had really deep 11s between my eyes and it just made me look angry all the time. Botox has softened my facial features and smoothened my skin. But I agree. Do your research and go to someone who knows what they are doing!
Please do a video on breast enlargement, I read there injection method & the other is surgery which most people do.. please a detail video about side effects, does it work & what happens during pregnancy

yes to botox and definitely a no to fillers. if you will ever decide to do a facelift these fillers can definitely be a problem. botox in your 20ies is a no.
This video is great! Really appreciate the honesty. However, I want to add something REALLY important. I found out from a trained nutritionist and scientific studies that Botox actually is linked to Alzheimer's disease due to it blocking a chemical called acetylcholine. People with Alzheimer's are found to have lower levels it. So please bare in mind that there are potential long term risks you are taking with Botox and there's more to it than 'there is no immanent danger with it like with filler'. When you 'freeze' nerves there are serious changes that happen in the body and the brain... Just thought I'd share what I have found that made me reconsider injections:) hope it helps!
Thank u so much doctor. Can u talk about filler injections for eye bags and the dark circles. And how dangerous they r
My Surgeon told me enough. I like him for it.
*I have dandruff issue please make video*
10:26 that's so true my mom has wrinkles, sun spots....you name it, but she looks younger than most people her age. I think it might have something to do with features like people with rounder and softer facial features look younger.
Hi doctor. My name is Sakshi. I saw all your skincare videos. It's really great n helpful. Just wanted to ask i have acne scars from the last 2 years now it has worsed. I tried dermatology but it did not worked do know where exactly the problem is. Now i am taking ayurvedic and has made a strict changes in my diet but still it the same. Though i know it will take time. But still it's not that much effective. What is your recommendation..also tried few doctors none medicine worked out. What's your take?
Don't forget about great effect from botox on local exessive sweating for examplein armpits, hands, feet. Can really make a big improvement on life quality
You should make more videos .
Doc, please make a video on laser treatment. People in my country are all hyped about CO2 fractional and the likes without much knowledge about the procedure, which is a chance for clinics and spas to swoop in and make all kinds of promise about the efficacy of the treatment. I myself just paid nearly $4000 for a procedure just to find out later that my conditions (ichthyosis vulgaris + keratosis piralis) are hereditary, but the clinics made all kinds of promise to treat my conditions completely within 5 sessions of laser treatment, and I just bought into that and couldn't be more regretful. Thank you in advance, doc! I'm already a fan of your very straightforward and bullshit-free channel.

Still not convinced that filler doesn’t spread and become entrenched in different tissue areas so if it ends up being a problem for someone it’s hard to get rid of it. Also if someone has auto immune surely filler could make this exacerbate. Botox I’ve had and it’s great.
Could you do a evidence based hair care routine
Hi Dr Syed! Could u please recommend some products or ingredients in products to remove under eye and eyelid lines and texture? Not sure if what you recommend will be available in India
Dr. Usama, I know this is off topic. I suffer from an itchy scalp every day especially in the winter. It can drive a person nuts. I have to wash my hair every other day. My dermatologist says I need to wash it every day since I have an oily scalp. She notices I get suberic dermatitis patches on the scalp. What is the best shampoo for this condition. I heard Nizoral is good, but not sure if that is the answer. Any advice would help. Thanks for the great videos!

I had Botox injected once by a dentist & looked WORSE! I had it in my forehead, which dropped my brows, & in my crows feet, which made my under eye wrinkles look more pronounced. Needless to say, I was devastated. They wouldn’t inject my platysma bands because my “throat could close”. It’ll be a while before I trust another injector. Lol. One cosmetic surgeon on KZread said to try & look 20 years younger than your age in order to “not look weird”. If your 60, try looking 40, if you’re 50, aim for looking 30 and so on…Thoughts?

Dear brother. I have atopic dermatitis. And allergy. Non steriod creams only work when I apply them regularly. When skin clears and I stop using these creams, eczema returns back.
I have one question , my skin is dry but I get big pimples sometimes painful one on face , but with time when it vanishes it leaves mole on my face , so each pimple is like beginning of new mole ( so many moles on my face ) 😢💔 flat moles and they all are due to pimple why this happen ?

You are funny... but the information is vital to know
Ive heard that preventative botox is best up until mid 35 age. But why is that? The doctor also says in the vid that you can of course get botox after 40s, 50s etc but it wont be as helpful. Why is that? But it still helps with preventative yes? If it helps but not at much, just how much less does it help??
ive read that its been shown that botox migrates into your brain (or at least it does in tests on mice), true? and is that a concern for the future? thanks doc, your vids are very informative.
