It's so refreshing to hear it is ok to be human! I love that and sure hope that message spreads. I feel like aging looks better than plastic faces any day.
I love frownies! I've had Botox twice, and yes Botox works better, but these are still a great and cheaper alternative! Like she said, it takes consistency.
I'm 25 and started getting static wrinkles on my forehead and the 11 pretty early into my 20s. at first i kinda freaked out cuz i didn't think i would start wrinkling so early but I've always been very expressive so it makes sense. i started looking into Botox but now I've been trying to just accept that i got these wrinkles from just being happy and that's ok!! thank you for this video
I live in a very sunny climate and have horrid 11’s , but I am a parent if two women your age. I’ve had Botox on the 11’s and I love it. That said ; I have heard from really good surgeons as well that long term use will cause atrophy. Which looks far worse than wrinkles. I’d be afraid if I were young like you to have prolonged use. They don’t know yet how that will be. Try not to squint and follow her advice on that. You are very young.
I notice a little bit of those wrinkles on so many young people. Even teens sometimes. I don't think it's any kind of premature aging. It's good you're doing your best to accept them and know they're from being happy and expressive!
I’m 23 and I noticed my static forehead wrinkles appeared when I was 19/20. There are studies that show that people who go through prolonged stress can wear that experience on their forehead as young adults/teens. (Think anxiety eyebrows)
I'm a man, so I don't care if I have wrinkles. But when I was a kid I used to watch the Jack LaLanne show when I got a chance. It was on during the day so the show was aimed at housewives. Jack had a set of facial exercises to do and you can see them on YT. The exercises did scrunch up (and stretch out) the face, but the idea was to strengthen and tone the underlying facial muscles. So I do it, along with all my other exercises, and my face looks pretty youthful. My intention was never to look younger but, rather, to exercise all my skeletal muscles. It just makes sense.
Another option is using hyaluronic acid! It’s transient but it’ll help fill in your wrinkles and look plump 😅 I like the Vichy serum, neutrogena hydro boost, and use a moisturizer with a dewy finish on top (oil based)
Different acids do different things to different people. I don't like HLA because it makes my face look puffy and bloated. HLA is usually best for severely dry aged skin.
Thank you for content that doesn’t amplify insecurities or this feeling of ‘needing’ to get something. I’m 33 and many times I get mistaken for being in my early to mid 20’s and recently I went to my derm to ask about an insecurity I had with some genetic fat under my chin. She referred me to someone else and then just casually said I’ll ‘need’ a facelift in about 10 years. She pointed to her own neck as evidence and honestly I didn’t see any need for her to do that. And she shared that insecurity with me. I even told her sometimes I think the little pudge I have is even kind of cute sometimes, I’ve had it all my life and social media made me feel I had to have a crazy jaw but I’m European, it’s not a defect! (The reason I changed my mind is a saw a gorgeous actress who also had a little fat under her chin and I just realized how out of focus I was zeroing in and obsessing over something so minimal) my derm even said she didn’t even notice it until I pointed it out. 🤦♀️ So ladies, derms are humans and sometimes they lose perspective too and forget their own beauty is not dictated by the current fad of extra sharp jawline or whatever the current obsession is. I hope to age gracefully and love my face and naturally take care of it so it looks good. Cosmetic surgery is NOT necessary to look beautiful and I really wish I would have gone to someone who would have emphasized this.
I have the neck pudge too! I've always had it and my mum and brother also have it. I want to lose a little weight which will hopefully reduce it a bit (I don't want to lose weight because of it, just for health) but even when I was a skinny little teenager I still had it. I'm 31 now and I'm definitely not interested in getting procedures done, retinol is enough for me.
Also please be careful and if planning a procedure do your homework on the surgeon! I’ve seen so many botched procedures. Personally the knife is not for me. I will embrace my aging skin & take care of it as best I can.
I have had a static forehead wrinkle since I was 16. I hate it. I'm 35 so I have some natural wrinkles that I actually love. I just hate that one solo deep wrinkle. I've been thinking about botox for a long time. Scared of needles so I'm happy to hear alternatives.
NUFACE! I have very bad 11s and vertical lines all over my brows, deep smile limes, when I’m consistently using NuFace I notice a huge difference. Ironed out!
@@lilianwal2385 it is a massage tool that I use for the body, from Ashley Black. It is called a face fascia blaster, it grabs the fascia and releases it , in a way that our hands can’t. There are you tube videos for instruction, but it is amazing for really sculpting out the face… I notice , when I don’t do it, it is just a favorite of mine! I always have people shocked when I say that I am 39, everyone thinks I am in my late 20’s and early 30’s
Something else that helps tremendously...I am 70 and have been taking a collagen supplement since August 2022 as well as face message with essential oil in the morning and evening. It has work wonders on my skin and complexion. Finish with a good moisturizer with collagen and vitamin C.
I am 65 and have a good diet, great health and excellent shape. It's been around 4 years that I am using the pillow ( I sleep on my back around 10 years)and I love it! I also love Botox and I won't replace it with anything. I tried the frownies but I think it's a waste of time especially because you have to place it on clean skin and I love my nighttime routine and can't stop my tretinoin even for one night.
Been using my Frownies for over 20 years, I am now 52, they are amazing and really do work! I love all these alternative ideas, I am going to try the Peter Thomas Roth soon for my eye wrinkles!
@@BeckyCantu I actually have a video on how I use them. Sometimes I use surgical tape. I don't use them every night but I suggest that for starters that they be used every night for a month. Now I can skip some days and still see results 🙂
Great tips!!! I already was doing the tip where you facial muscle train so when I work out I use frownies and wear a hat 🧢 so no one can see my forehead is taped 😂 anyway I lift weights so I was tending to wrinkle my 11s a lot! Not anymore!!! Stand by that tip! It all adds up!
That’s really smart! I always get “ super focused face “ while I’m jogging or cycling and clench my jaw super tight so yeah… that’s prob a god time for me to wear them.
I started getting a deep static wrinkle between my brows from frowning and sleeping on my side (now that my skin sagging). It looked horrible! I started using a silicone patch (like frownies, but silicone vs paper) overnight and it made a huge difference! The downside is if I miss using them for even a night, I start noticing the wrinkle again that day. I do think it reduced the actual wrinkle depth tho - I think it stimulates collagen to some degree!
@@samanthathompson9812 Amazon. Tip: Use a deep foaming cleanser to clean the skin where you want to apply and to clean the patch right before applying to get it to stick through the night. Went through months of trial and error and returns before learning that. I also wear a sleep mask and that seems to help a lot too
@@fever3583 I’m currently using the Silc Skin Facial Pad Multi-Area Set. There are other sets within this brand and other brands that make similar products. This is the brand I like best so far, but I didn’t know how to properly use these silicone patches before, so take that with a grain of salt. I’d say just get something that offers free returns in case it doesn’t work for you.
Thank you so much for recommending the frownies!! So excited to try them. Just turned 28 n starting to notice fine lines between my brows and under my eyes. I was going to get Botox but for now have completely changed my mind. I am so glad I did research first and found your videos. Thank you again!!
I have used Botox a few times and it has worked great. I guess I'm lucky cause it lasts slightly over a year. No kidding... my wrinkles stay away for over a year any time I use Botox.
I've been to a dermatologist yesterday because I noticed that I start to get wrinkles under my eyes and near my mouth (nasolabial). First she only recommended pricy procedures like vampire lifting and fillers for the wrinkles around the mouth because I said directly that I'm not interested in Botox. But after she recognised that I'm kinda informed she said, that the most important thing is a good skincare routine. I would never touch fillers, because a doctor and friend of mine told me years ago, that the product builds up easily and doesn't dissolve on its own. No doctor would tell you that voluntarily if they want to sell you that pricy bs. And it's infuriating that they directly recommended fillers even if the wrinkles are fine like mine.
Take 1 thigh-high stocking or the equivalent (1 leg of cheap pantyhose), place 1 tennis ball on either side of a 6 or 8 inch gap where your neck would be, and tie them off to secure them. Use on top of your pillow of choice.
Thank you so very much for this very helpful information. I was possibly considering the Botox for a scar between my eyes and the doctor, which was treating me for something else, made no mention of the concerns and risks. I’ve completely changed my mind and will try the frowning. Thanks again for sharing such information❤️
Omg. YES! It IS odd to look frozen and it IS uncomfortable that everyone is looking the same 😭 thank you for saying that and validating those of us who can’t understand why everyone would choose to look 👽
The sleeping lines made me laugh so much because I won't ever have this problem. My sleeping position is on the back, my arms straight on each sides like if I was dead and in a coffin. My boyfriend constantly used to tell me "when you sleep, you look dead". 🤣🤣🤣
My sleeping position is on my back too! with my hands on my stomach 🤣🤣🤣 I used to sleep on my side and on my stomach after seeing those lines on my face I started to train myself to sleep on my back it's been 8 years that I sleep on my back now! but my problem was to find a good pillow 😕 I went through several because used to give me neck pain until almost 2 years ago I got sleep & glow (Dr. Ray recommended) pillow for people who sleep on their backs OMG! What a difference! I love that pillow it's a little expensive but it's worth it , now if I try to sleep on my side even for a few minutes I can't my husband can't believe how I am able to sleep on my back without moving at all 🤣🤣🤣
I'm really surprised you didn't give a focused mention to Agireline even as a stand alone also Microcurrent, Gua Sha or Jade Roller. I personally think these work wonders especially in conjunction with said topicals. Mix the Agireline into your favourite firming serum, Mytrxl, Snail Mucin etc post treatment to look snatch 😆
I have made the same experience. Since I am doing Face Yoga on a daily basis, use Gua Sha massages together in combination with my beauty products (Hyaloronic Acid and Vitamin C Serum, Matrixyl 10%+ HA and Argire Solution 10%, Aha-Cream and Retinol - not all together of course) in my morning and evening routine my face has changed once more. It has become slimmer is more defined, tight, glows and my jawline has sharpened too. I am 40, always looked younger, used SPF since my Midtwenties because of my very light toned skin, but since I added those things to my beauty routine I can say I gained a few years more in addition to my younger appearance.
@@jayedwardsuk5984 Don't know what this means (".. you've got it down to a T"), English is not my mother tongue, but I guess it's something positive. 😅 In any case, I will continue to do this.
What have you both found most helpful in reducing sagging / bloat / puffiness? My hypothyroidism went out of control and aged me decades in the matter of a few years, mostly through lower face sagging / jowls (from muscle weakness I assume) and bloat, and I feel at a loss. Any ideas appreciated!
Wow! Amazed to see this. A side sleeper, I have been trying to retrain myself to sleep on my back - 8 days in, and it is very tough going. I am successfully staying on my back, but am not getting much sleep at all. I would guess that the sleep n glo would help stop the upper lip creasing I am getting, but maybe is not going to stop face crease due to gravity pulling a chubby cheek down? How do you doublecheck it is going to work? a mirror?
I feel like my muscular disease that makes me very weak and general lack of facial expressions will really help prevent wrinkles. lol. Staying out of the sun for the most part since I was in my mid-teens, recent addition of SPF 50+ sunscreen and tretinoin, and being a nonsmoker should also help.
I would love to see some of your friends or clients that have used the frownies or other products talk about their results and show them up close. This is interesting also interested in the cream that you mentioned the Peter Thomas Roth cream. Anyone with experience with that product? Good video on alternatives instead of injecting poison into muscles in the human body.
I use Peter Thomas Roth eye serum. It really works. It takes a little practice, but you only need a tiny bit and I lightly dab it on with my ring or middle finger. I'm 71 and my under eye bags completely disappear😊!
I use frownies off and on for 2 years, and they really work- like the next day! But it doesn’t last that long, so you need to use them regularly. I’m 47, bad eyes, a squinter and have deepish 11s.
I have been curious about Frownies, but bc they would be occlusive, I've been hesitant. Could you discuss how to use them for different skin types? Mine, for instance, is sensitive and acne-prone.
Erin, I have been using Frownies for over 15 years with no irritation. I use them to extend my time between Botox treatments. Instead of every 3 months, I go every 6 months.
@@erinmcneal6381 I don't use face creams or retinols. If I did, I would simply leave the areas where I would be placing the Frownies free of products. But One reviewer said she uses creams and puts her Frownies right over them.
I also have sensitive skin very prone to acne. I use 100% silicone patches instead of frownies because silicone is less likely to cause problems than other adhesives. I still sometimes get some clogged pores but the key I’ve found is to deep clean the skin (eg w a foaming face wash) where you apply the patch right before and after applying, and deep clean the patch before each application. I can’t use any products underneath if I want the patch to stay on overnight, except I can spot treat any pimples / clogged pores underneath without a problem
With the frownies, how do you know that the wrinkles are smoothed by the muscle relaxation and not by the trapped skin evaporations (which is highly short-termed)?
None of these things address dynamic wrinkles. I have no static wrinkles but my dynamic wrinkles are really very severe. So these are not actually botox alternatives.
Great video ..thanks! Can sunscreen be applied after the Peter Thomas Eye cream...and be effective? If so, would it still be able to get absorbed into the skin?
Please make a detailed video on how to rid acne scars both ice pick, rolling scars and raised scars. Everything I tried over the counter is useless even though I've use them religiously. I have had the scars over 30 years and C02 laser doe twice and my skin looks exactly the same!!!
Professional skin needling with PRP, or professional skin needling with exomes. Preferably with a provider who uses a SkinPen brand device. You have to do it a few times, but skin needling made a huge difference in my indented scars. (Don’t try at-home dermarolling. I tried it and it made things worse. I believe my scars would be completely gone if I’d just gone to the pros from the outset.)
I've heard not to use it with vitamin c or, copper peptides, acids, or reservertrol. I use these daily and don't want to stop them lol what are your thoughts ?
Thank you for the video - just one thing that annoys me when derm places show before and afters do they not think we can see the lighting is ALWAYS DRAMATICALLY DIFFERENT? LOL.Of course WRINKLES DISAPPEAR when you put a light directly in front of the face. Eye roll.... seriously? "Befores", which are always lit from the top. show wrinkles to their greatest effect because the shadows are strongest. Second point the photos are always darkened in addition to the intentional bad lighting in the BEFORE pics. (option#2 - even her teeth are 4 shades brighter in the After!). WE NOTICE!! Its just so dishonest. And... it doesn't really help the consumer make an educated decision - suspect if the companies have to lie about the results - they really aren't worth the money places charge to get them. LOL! This is no reflection on YOU of course. Just an industry/marketing tactic that really bothers me. LOL. Love your videos. Keep doing what you do - thanks!
Yes was going to ask about vertical lines on my upper lip area. I’m 60 and they are just appearing, I don’t smoke, never have, but these lines are really determined to make an appearance. Is there anything like frownies for the upper lip area. (I’ve only just heard of frownies too)
How is tretinoin Ritin-A not on here this is one of the first ones I would put I know you need a prescription in the US Menards in Mexico you can get it at your local Walmart because I have Walmart or any pharmacy in Mexico but that works better than any of these I've used
I have given up on botox. Over the last 3 years it has not lasted more than 4 weeks in my face! I'm a bodybuilder so my body metabolizes is quickly. I even waited 1 year of getting nothing done just incase my body was building a resistance to it. After a year I decided to get dysport thinking that a change would last longer but NOPE! 4 weeks and $600+ later. I'm done with botox, I feel like I'm just throwing money down the drain. I'm looking into alternatives like tretinoin and maybe some fillers or threads.
Just curious, is there anything to give the appearance that your lips haven’t completely dissolved without using filler or Botox (flip lip)for that matter?
I started using this and it's not instead of a moisturizer. I find it to be more of a glue..so to speak. I'm still getting use to using this but so far I found that mixing a tiny bit w/ concealer when applying works. Hope that helps.
Could you remark dr. On the recent study that shows people saying botox /dysport not lasting as long if they have gotten the Covid 19 vaccinations and which Covid vaccines impact this
I wonder if that boyox in a bottle works as is topical and some things need to pass the layer of the outer skin at least to work. Any review on that product? Thanks :)
I have static wrinkles. I and smile alot. Its actually been a lifetime 🤣🤣🤣. I feel ok with it now. I bumped up my skincare routine. I tried Botox last year and it just was not for me. It requires maintenance that I do not have time or money for. Maybe I should say, at this point, I do not want to spend the money I do have on Botox😁
Kids really notice things like this. We need them to keep us in check. I’ve seen some weird looks from filler and Botox. I’ve used both myself , but I know people who use it religiously and they look odd. Lol. They don’t see it. It becomes like a dysmorphia situation!!

Take 1 thigh-high stocking or the equivalent (1 leg of cheap pantyhose), place 1 tennis ball on either side of a 6 or 8 inch gap where your neck would be, and tie them off to secure them. Use on top of your pillow of choice.
PDO threads are what I use, I love them!!
Do you think Frownies would work on chest wrinkles from side sleeping? They are so horribly aging.
Thank you so very much for this very helpful information. I was possibly considering the Botox for a scar between my eyes and the doctor, which was treating me for something else, made no mention of the concerns and risks. I’ve completely changed my mind and will try the frowning. Thanks again for sharing such information❤️
Your advice is practical and candid. Love it ❤
I would love to see a review on "Botox in a bottle"
It's fabulous
Omg. YES! It IS odd to look frozen and it IS uncomfortable that everyone is looking the same 😭 thank you for saying that and validating those of us who can’t understand why everyone would choose to look 👽
The sleeping lines made me laugh so much because I won't ever have this problem. My sleeping position is on the back, my arms straight on each sides like if I was dead and in a coffin. My boyfriend constantly used to tell me "when you sleep, you look dead". 🤣🤣🤣
Jealous! I’m a side sleeper and wish I could be comfortable on my back!
My sleeping position is on my back too! with my hands on my stomach 🤣🤣🤣 I used to sleep on my side and on my stomach after seeing those lines on my face I started to train myself to sleep on my back it's been 8 years that I sleep on my back now! but my problem was to find a good pillow 😕 I went through several because used to give me neck pain until almost 2 years ago I got sleep & glow (Dr. Ray recommended) pillow for people who sleep on their backs OMG! What a difference! I love that pillow it's a little expensive but it's worth it , now if I try to sleep on my side even for a few minutes I can't my husband can't believe how I am able to sleep on my back without moving at all 🤣🤣🤣
Please do a video on how to treat or improve vertical lines above the lip.
I'm really surprised you didn't give a focused mention to Agireline even as a stand alone also Microcurrent, Gua Sha or Jade Roller. I personally think these work wonders especially in conjunction with said topicals.
Mix the Agireline into your favourite firming serum, Mytrxl, Snail Mucin etc post treatment to look snatch 😆
I have made the same experience. Since I am doing Face Yoga on a daily basis, use Gua Sha massages together in combination with my beauty products (Hyaloronic Acid and Vitamin C Serum, Matrixyl 10%+ HA and Argire Solution 10%, Aha-Cream and Retinol - not all together of course) in my morning and evening routine my face has changed once more. It has become slimmer is more defined, tight, glows and my jawline has sharpened too. I am 40, always looked younger, used SPF since my Midtwenties because of my very light toned skin, but since I added those things to my beauty routine I can say I gained a few years more in addition to my younger appearance.
@@sonjalalelu3667 Sounds like you've got it down to a T using all the staple anti aging products. Good on you Sonja 💪
@@jayedwardsuk5984 Don't know what this means (".. you've got it down to a T"), English is not my mother tongue, but I guess it's something positive. 😅 In any case, I will continue to do this.

What have you both found most helpful in reducing sagging / bloat / puffiness? My hypothyroidism went out of control and aged me decades in the matter of a few years, mostly through lower face sagging / jowls (from muscle weakness I assume) and bloat, and I feel at a loss. Any ideas appreciated!
Wow! Amazed to see this. A side sleeper, I have been trying to retrain myself to sleep on my back - 8 days in, and it is very tough going. I am successfully staying on my back, but am not getting much sleep at all.
I would guess that the sleep n glo would help stop the upper lip creasing I am getting, but maybe is not going to stop face crease due to gravity pulling a chubby cheek down? How do you doublecheck it is going to work? a mirror?
I feel like my muscular disease that makes me very weak and general lack of facial expressions will really help prevent wrinkles. lol. Staying out of the sun for the most part since I was in my mid-teens, recent addition of SPF 50+ sunscreen and tretinoin, and being a nonsmoker should also help.
Scotch tape works just as well as Frownies, for a lot less $$.
Would love your thoughts on thread lifts! Are the results worth it? Are the issues in having the procedure done multiple times?
I tried the Exlinea serum by PCA. I bought 3 bottles used them consecutively and I saw zero difference.
What can help with neck wrinkles?
Thanks for the knowledge and transparency Doc ❤️
I would love to see some of your friends or clients that have used the frownies or other products talk about their results and show them up close. This is interesting also interested in the cream that you mentioned the Peter Thomas Roth cream. Anyone with experience with that product? Good video on alternatives instead of injecting poison into muscles in the human body.
I use Peter Thomas Roth eye serum. It really works. It takes a little practice, but you only need a tiny bit and I lightly dab it on with my ring or middle finger. I'm 71 and my under eye bags completely disappear😊!
I use frownies off and on for 2 years, and they really work- like the next day! But it doesn’t last that long, so you need to use them regularly. I’m 47, bad eyes, a squinter and have deepish 11s.
Good to know. I am interested in them for prevention. I didn't know if they would irritate my skin. Thank you. Seems like a safer option.
Do you do any treatments like laser, IPL or peels to maintain your skin?
I’ve been using Dime TBT serum and can really tell a difference. I use a Gua Sha, too.
Too bad they put that poison in it. Phynoxyethanol
Dr. thank you for your great content as always!🙏🏽👏🏽and to the great comments!
Thank you so much for your honesty and sharing with us!!!
Skin care products that lift your skin
Could you please do a video about masks (clay, collagen etc.)? Are they effective? Thanks.
I have been curious about Frownies, but bc they would be occlusive, I've been hesitant. Could you discuss how to use them for different skin types? Mine, for instance, is sensitive and acne-prone.
Erin, I have been using Frownies for over 15 years with no irritation. I use them to extend my time between Botox treatments. Instead of every 3 months, I go every 6 months.
@@franb2001 have you been using them over actives? I guess that's my main concern... with things like retinol
@@erinmcneal6381 I don't use face creams or retinols. If I did, I would simply leave the areas where I would be placing the Frownies free of products. But One reviewer said she uses creams and puts her Frownies right over them.
I also have sensitive skin very prone to acne. I use 100% silicone patches instead of frownies because silicone is less likely to cause problems than other adhesives.
I still sometimes get some clogged pores but the key I’ve found is to deep clean the skin (eg w a foaming face wash) where you apply the patch right before and after applying, and deep clean the patch before each application.
I can’t use any products underneath if I want the patch to stay on overnight, except I can spot treat any pimples / clogged pores underneath without a problem
Also, I just apply products to the rest of my face after applying the patch
What’s good for under eye wrinkles?
love this video, that you for being real & encouraging about age, aging.
With the frownies, how do you know that the wrinkles are smoothed by the muscle relaxation and not by the trapped skin evaporations (which is highly short-termed)?
None of these things address dynamic wrinkles. I have no static wrinkles but my dynamic wrinkles are really very severe. So these are not actually botox alternatives.
I thought "botox un a bottle" was Argireline by The Ordinary
Great video ..thanks! Can sunscreen be applied after the Peter Thomas Eye cream...and be effective? If so, would it still be able to get absorbed into the skin?
Hello!
I can not find the links for the products you suggested. Could you send the product selection to me please?
Thank you,
Lollie
I have terrible nasal folds
Please make a detailed video on how to rid acne scars both ice pick, rolling scars and raised scars. Everything I tried over the counter is useless even though I've use them religiously. I have had the scars over 30 years and C02 laser doe twice and my skin looks exactly the same!!!
Professional skin needling with PRP, or professional skin needling with exomes. Preferably with a provider who uses a SkinPen brand device. You have to do it a few times, but skin needling made a huge difference in my indented scars.
(Don’t try at-home dermarolling. I tried it and it made things worse. I believe my scars would be completely gone if I’d just gone to the pros from the outset.)
Not here for philosophy...like the information. That's great.
Do you have a video for sagging neck skin?
Thank you for sharing this! Trying to retrain myself to sleep on my back rn! X
Argireline mixed with matrixyl from the ordinary helped me so much 😍
I've heard not to use it with vitamin c or, copper peptides, acids, or reservertrol. I use these daily and don't want to stop them lol what are your thoughts ?
Thank you for the video - just one thing that annoys me when derm places show before and afters do they not think we can see the lighting is ALWAYS DRAMATICALLY DIFFERENT? LOL.Of course WRINKLES DISAPPEAR when you put a light directly in front of the face. Eye roll.... seriously? "Befores", which are always lit from the top. show wrinkles to their greatest effect because the shadows are strongest.
Second point the photos are always darkened in addition to the intentional bad lighting in the BEFORE pics. (option#2 - even her teeth are 4 shades brighter in the After!). WE NOTICE!!
Its just so dishonest. And... it doesn't really help the consumer make an educated decision - suspect if the companies have to lie about the results - they really aren't worth the money places charge to get them. LOL!
This is no reflection on YOU of course. Just an industry/marketing tactic that really bothers me. LOL. Love your videos. Keep doing what you do - thanks!
This is extremely helpful information. Thank you ❤
Getting botox to young sure DOES make you build up a resistance to it.
5 things u can do starts at 5:20
Hi Doc, can you suggest products that are available in India too ?
What about lip fillers in your 50's?
Yes was going to ask about vertical lines on my upper lip area. I’m 60 and they are just appearing, I don’t smoke, never have, but these lines are really determined to make an appearance. Is there anything like frownies for the upper lip area. (I’ve only just heard of frownies too)
I m 48 some time I feel my forehead muscle contraction. Nasty feeling
Sleep and glow; How am I gonna do it f I have to sleep mostly on my tummy due to hip/pelvis issue? Does it work this pillow?
Im off to get xeomin I only get it twice a year and im not going to stop lasts about 4 months for me. Been getting it for 2 years im 37 years old.
How is tretinoin Ritin-A not on here this is one of the first ones I would put I know you need a prescription in the US Menards in Mexico you can get it at your local Walmart because I have Walmart or any pharmacy in Mexico but that works better than any of these I've used
What do you think of the results from PRP. I know it’s expensive but want to know what you think of the results (instead of fillers) 😊
Alternative number 1 starts at 5:32
I have given up on botox. Over the last 3 years it has not lasted more than 4 weeks in my face! I'm a bodybuilder so my body metabolizes is quickly. I even waited 1 year of getting nothing done just incase my body was building a resistance to it. After a year I decided to get dysport thinking that a change would last longer but NOPE! 4 weeks and $600+ later. I'm done with botox, I feel like I'm just throwing money down the drain. I'm looking into alternatives like tretinoin and maybe some fillers or threads.
Hear threads aren’t worth the money either
Just curious, is there anything to give the appearance that your lips haven’t completely dissolved without using filler or Botox (flip lip)for that matter?
Thank you!
Can frownies be used over nighttime routine products (retinal, peptides, moisturizers, etc)?
Does Peter Thomas Instant Firm Eyes work as an eye cream or do you apply it under/over your regular eye cream?
I started using this and it's not instead of a moisturizer. I find it to be more of a glue..so to speak. I'm still getting use to using this but so far I found that mixing a tiny bit w/ concealer when applying works. Hope that helps.
excellent info thanks
I wish I knew these years ago…will they help static wrinkles?
I dont understand why the results are showed in the "after and before" with photoshop retouch 🤔
Could you remark dr. On the recent study that shows people saying botox /dysport not lasting as long if they have gotten the Covid 19 vaccinations and which Covid vaccines impact this
I wonder if that boyox in a bottle works as is topical and some things need to pass the layer of the outer skin at least to work. Any review on that product? Thanks :)
I stopped using Avene because of the fragrance.
Hi. One doctor fill high lead with sculptra and it's make 6 hard nodules. How can it be fix? Thanks
Love your content❤❤
My 11’s are now static, what to do to minimize appearance? Am I stuck with Botox as my only option?
I have static wrinkles. I and smile alot. Its actually been a lifetime 🤣🤣🤣. I feel ok with it now. I bumped up my skincare routine. I tried Botox last year and it just was not for me. It requires maintenance that I do not have time or money for. Maybe I should say, at this point, I do not want to spend the money I do have on Botox😁
Travel instead. It’s actually better for you overall. lol.
What was number 2 please?
Thank you
Combo Frownies and Peptide Topical?
#4 PCA serum is useless. Maybe there is a promotion income for insert this.
Aergireline by Ordinary way better than PSA...
Is option #5 safe for during pregnancy??
Never seen Frownies here in Rome
I tried botox 2x. My kids said it made me looked stoned and faded. I guess it relaxed my muscles too much. Def not the look I was going for
Kids really notice things like this. We need them to keep us in check. I’ve seen some weird looks from filler and Botox. I’ve used both myself , but I know people who use it religiously and they look odd. Lol. They don’t see it. It becomes like a dysmorphia situation!!
