I don't know when we decided that wrinkles were bad but try to embrace them. Just use your retinoids and sunscreen and live happy. Aging is a privilege. Not everyone gets to do it. Thanks again for a great video gentlemen. :)
Every time I put any acid even 3% & I tried a retinol 0.025% My face turns into a swollen ballon with sandpaper texture So I officially will have wrinkles as none of those are tolerated by my skin LOL
@@edithgarciajimenez7325 may I ask, would u elaborate on this "way to introduce retinol in ur skincare", what's this process that works like magic!?!! I'm trying to see if, I guess, I'm doing it right!!! 😆
Hey docs, yesterday I went back to my derma clinic after 2 years for a bit of Botox but my regular doctor left during the pandemic. The new doctor, super nice, took 3D pics of my face, blew them up on a massive HD screen and showed me all my flaws. He ended up recommending fillers: temples, cheeks, eyes, lips, PRP, laser, HIFU, Botox, and 2 more procedures that I can’t recall. While he was trying to sell me on this by showing me a 10X magnified 3D image of my flaws that are obviously there, i kept thinking im a confident woman and I will say no(he insisted several times) but this strategy will sure work for people with less confidence. I was able to say no because I have learnt so much from watching you two and I love how you educate us. I wish some of the industry practices would follow a more ethical not financial gain strategy. Thank you for the education!
62 y/o F. Had great skin with min effort ( & easy tan) until 50. Problems with ortho pain & extended grief/depression affected wrinkles. Came out of it @ 60, but left with pronounced resting grumpy face. So youngsters, address mental health & happiness along with sun protection & moisture.
@@youmemeyou yes exactly! one got uglier and age faster with depression or negative minds. good face posture is important, it will shape your face, so even if u arent happy try smiley face or good face posture even while you are sleeping!!!
I’m 57 years old. My goal? Not to look younger, I just want to look good for my age.. so I am changing my skincare. I discovered that my routine I used at 20 is NOT going to be effective now that I’m in my 50’s! I had to go to a dermatologist to know that….and watch these guys….thank you both! 🙏🏻
agreed. we need more aging positivity. too much negativity around the normal signs of getting older; "anti-aging" shouldn't be consuming every minute of the day.
I have better skin at 59, than I ever did in my 30’s and 40’s thanks to you two and your straight forward information. Wrinkles. I call mine cracks. My middle brow is for sure cracked, not wrinkled. I can live with it. Especially now that my texture is improving daily. Again, thanks to you.
@@quabledistocficklepo3597 Only if you think there's anything wrong with the rules being different for different groups of people, for no actual good reason. Which, most people do.
Dr. Shah, I would love to hear your skin cancer story. 20-something Melanoma survivor over here! I think it's so amazing you shared that even dermatologists are at risk - it makes it even more real for others!
Can you guys please do a video discussing the how fillers don’t dissolve fully like we thought, they actually migrate? An Aussie derm, Dr. Gavin Chan has a whole video on how he stopped doing dermal fillers because he noticed the filler was migrating south due to gravity & was shown on MRI to be in the face 7 years later. More & more derms are abandoning filler after this is becoming more widespread knowledge 🙀
I’m a licensed esthetician and I also get bothered when I explain to clients that their skin shows signs of dehydration and I direct them to HA products and they tell me “oh no I’ll just drink more water”. I don’t know how drinking water has all of a sudden become the cure all for skin disorders/conditions. Obviously yes drink water for over all health but it won’t fix all skin conditions. Love that this was mentioned!
I personally think crowsfeet are HOT! Now, it's true I am a 67 y/o grandmother, but I've always felt that way. When people are really smiling from their heart it comes thru their eyes. To me a person with crowsfeet has had a joy-filled life!
Pam so true….I can right away tell when a person has a fake smile or genuine one. A smile that stretches from ear to ear and makes your eye squint and your lips widened is a smile that makes you feel warm and loved.🥰
Love how informative and honest you are. Also, I really appreciate you mentioning differences in beauty standards depending on gender. I mean, it is a huge factor - women are expected to look like they are in their twenties literally for their whole life, and men "age like a good wine".
@@Randompotatoes-qs7bm EXCUSE ME BUT IN A EVEN MORE SHALLOW, JUDGMENTAL, VERY HIGH STANDARDS OF WHAT IN ALL MY YEARS OF WHAT PEOPLE CONSIDER GOOD LOOKING, BEAUTIFUL ,PRETTY, HANDSOME OR WHATEVER .. ESPECIALLY IF U GOT THE $$$$ EVERYTIME I LOOK UP OR HEAR SOMEONE R SOMETHING SAID ABOUT THIS GUY OR THAT GUY OR ACTOR, MUSICIAN, THERES NOW MORE PRESSURE ON MEN 2 LOOK REALLY GOOD & AS LONG AS THEY'RE NOT EVEN BALDING A LITTLE , OR GETTING OLDER & LOOKING THEIR AGE. I HEAR IT ALL THE TIME.. OH HE ( JOHN DOE ) USED 2 B GOOD LOOKING
There’s a sweet spot with wrinkles I think. It’s insane to want to look like you haven’t aged because that translates to looking like you haven’t lived.
I’ve read about a lady in her 40s, I believe, that didn’t have wrinkles… because she trained herself to not laugh and smile and make the least facial expressions she could. Imagine living your entire life not being free to emote because you’re that scared of aging. That’s so sad.
@@yukiminami9202 YES. They always have once it was approved for use for cosmetic purposes. BOTOX was used for Medical reasons only before it was approved for Cosmetic purposes...for wrinkles especially.
Love how honest you two are about your personal procedures! Thanks to you I started retinoids and am amazed by the positive changes in my skin. Best wishes from Salzburg, Austria!
I’m laughing at all of these comments where people are claiming they look much younger than their age. Does anyone look their age anymore 😅? If you are 50, 60, 70…embrace it. Most people are being polite if they say you look younger. But in reality there is nothing wrong with being that age. It’s a wonderful privilege.
Omg! Just saw this video after spending the past 6 months obsessively trying to get the wrinkles off my face at 53! I’ve had crows feet wrinkles since my early 20s & have been insulted many times because of them …. Thanku so much for kindness and support of happy people that show with their wrinkles from laughing & smiling often which is me! ❤❤❤ your work Doctorly! You guys are seriously my favourite videos to watch 🙏
Hi Mary, two ways of looking at this. Yes, you could embrace the aging process, IF that were to make you happy OR you can embrace the the Anti'Aging process, which sounds more in line with the way you're thinking. Neither way is wrong, but for me, why do I want to look old and haggered, when I can reduce that greatly with a few skin products and a bit of skin resurfacing laser work? I hope you can make piece with your desicion. :)
@@lindanichols3415 LOL. Great way to put it Linda. I too prefer to age softly,,,,VERY, very softly, with a bit of help with a few products. Happy Tuesday. :)
I noticed that Dr. Max changes his look a lot, from wearing dark colors to bright colors. Having a beard to having no beard. Wearing a choker necklace to no necklace at all On the flip side, Dr. Shaw always wears dark scrubs, same hair, same beard Just an interesting observation
I'm at the age where skin aging is a big issue, and I have a tretinoid treatment since 2017 I really find my skin better looking now at 35 than in all of my 20s. My derm prescribed it to me for sudden string acne and mentioned the anti aging benefits I didn't really care about at the time. I will never regret being consistent and therefore wearing SPF 50+ everyday since then.
Keep that up..I had crows feet at 35..used Retin A for three years they went away. I stopped using Retin A wish I hadnt quit. I did use sunscreen. At 65 I started using Retin A again...now my skin looks mid 50s...really according to my female opthamologist looking at my eyes asking what I did for HERSELF! She was shocked I am 74...I def dont look it. My dermatologist also female, tells me keep up what you are doing,,yep!
@@latinaalma1947 you can't realize how glad I am to read this because I notice 2-3 years ago I had hooded lids and I never really noticed before and also that crows feet were coming, after a few months my lids are not hooded like before but no one except me look at my face this much. My boyfriend mentioned they were fading and my lids were less hooded but I figured he tried to be nice. All that to say I'm glad I'm not hallucinating and that it's possible that tretinoin is efficient enough to fade my fine lines. 😊 (Edit : I had to fix the terrible English as I could)
I went to a dermatologist once and she said, " what's that on your face? " I said "vaseline" . She then balled me out for using it. Well, I'm allergic to a lot of moisturizers , and vaseline was the only thing I could use. I continued to use it and I'm now 69 and have pretty nice looking skin . Thanks for making me feel better!!!
Dermatologist, Dr. Dray on YT is a very strong proponent of petrolatum for moisturizing and skin healing. Sone of her very fave products contain 40% or so of it! I’d never go back to that dermatologist you saw. She has proven that she knows very little about her profession.
I love this!!! As someone with lupus, I have constant skin issues. Because of you guys, I’ve honed into an amazing skin routine where hydration is just one of the things I do. It drives me nuts when people tell me to drink more water, like it’s going to fix all the problems.
@@dejanirathompson7502, my program is super easy, but I have different brands for different moods to my skin. If my skin is behaving, I use Paula’s Choice Optimal Hydrating cleanser. If I get a staph infection or my skin is “molting” I use YonKa Cleansing Milk. If my skin is in revolt, I go straight for the Paula’s Choice ultra rich moisturizer then Paula’s Choice daily moisturizing lotion with 30SPF. If my skin is doing well or at least no open wounds, I use the Paula’s Choice BHA exfoliant and her vitamin C booster. Once a week at night I’ll use the 1% retinol treatment. I like the fact that Paula’s Choice isn’t heavy on the fragrance and it seems to work for me. The key is finding a brand or products that don’t make you react, but are also products that work. Good luck on your journey and stay away from those package deals like curology and those MLM products.
@@dejanirathompson7502 same here. I use vitamin c, e, niacinimide and hylauronic serum it’s super helpful in hyperpigmentation and texture from my lesions. I’d love to see what we use to keep our skin going.
Thank you for replying! I’m from Belize so we tend to use a bit more natural and local things but I think sometimes our type of skin needs a little more to make it healthy. Will look into the options you guys listed. For me I’ve only tried the ordinary toner (at night) and the cerave pm night ultra light face cream.
I just turned 75, I’ve had been doing skincare since my 20’s and now I am obssesed with skincare! Your channel is helping me to understand the changes that need to be made for older skin. 😊
So interesting. I am turning 38, and some deep set wrinkles are now showing up. Some days I love my lil wrinkles, some days I want them to go away. But this video helps me confirm some of the things I’ve done to help prevent them. Thank you
Thank you doctors for being aware of different standards for different genders when it comes to wrinkles. I am 56 and have some wrinkles which look quite good on me. I am completely fine with them and think they don't do anything to my beauty.
I have suffered with migraines for 50 years and have had every treatment, tried every drug, herb, and spent thousands of dollars. If one more person tells me I just need to DRINK MORE WATER I will lose my mind!
I used to get horrible migraines until I healed past trauma, balanced my hormones, regulated my blood sugar, upped my protein intake, upped my magnesium, cut out alcohol, and stopped being vegan/ restricted eating. Maybe trying those things can help you too?? Migraine patterning can be really complicated, wishing you the best.
Oh and I know you mentioned herbs, but these herbal tinctures called Flow Balance and Liver Juice by Organic Olivia, help with the hormonal balance, and if I feel a migraine coming on, I take flow balance and it will stop it right there. So maybe if your situation is caused by imbalanced hormones, these could support you.
Thank you for not demonising ageing..especially the ageing of women. I think most women (and society in general) have a really unhealthy view of the ageing process, which can evolve into much deeper issues than wrinkles.
Hi Docs! I actually have tried Frownies; they absolutely smooth out the skin and decrease the look of fine lines. They work best when used consistently. It's by no means derm-level anti-aging, but it does provide a smoother look to fine lines. Weird, I know! Thanks for another helpful video.
Frownies were used in “old Hollywood”. (Think:?Joan Crawford ) I loooove them ! Not a Tape but you wet skin side and keep skin static overnight. At 60 , I use in conjunction with all other treatments. Satin pillow case , pillows, sleeping on back , skincare pm routine , etc. what made the biggest difference in my skin is eliminating Sugar and it’s free !!!!
I am one minute into the video and had to stop and comment I love you guys. I can turn the volume down and watch your facial expressions with the like expressions with each other and just have a -blast because you're both so adorable. I know that you are fully grown adults but I still think you're adorable. Deal with it.
I really enjoy learning about skin from you guys. Both of you have great energy, it's pretty obvious you share a great friendship. I lost my partner of 9 years (he died 9 months ago 😔). I initially started watching your videos because my skin was A MESS from all the bullshit that happens when you're grieving the loss of your soul mate. Mostly it was dehydration, but lack of sleep, poor diet, alcohol intake, and just generally not giving much of a shit about any aspect of self care... I looked so old so suddenly. You guys somehow made me realize that I should start taking care of myself. So I did, and a few months later, my skin looks better than I think it ever has. Thank you for sharing your education with me! I SO appreciate the way you never talk down to your viewers. I have never left any comments on you tube before, but I wanted to tell you both THANK YOU.
Heidi...Thank you for your deeply honest sharing with us. Please share frequently...you provide a good example of how to express this deep stuff. So, hey, now you are a ghood example....Asyou undoubtedly know, depression/grief freezes some folks up,...this gives an ABC. so...Blessings to you, friend and thank you again. Meg Young
What an Awesome video! Love that we have Drs that embrace our aging. You guys are so great at breaking down skin care info and giving honest opinions. Thank you so much and you are delightful to watch!💙
This was such an awesome video. Thank you for giving options to improve ourselves and at the same time stating that we are all humans and wrinkles are a reflection of our emotions. Loved it!
Love your bloopers at the end. My fave tip will always be "Wear Sunscreen". I also love to see happy people with wrinkles around their eyes when they smile. Smile lines :)
I fully agree that we should all contribute to change the preconceived idea that aging is bad. Aging is really a privilege that most do not know to appreciate. In saying this, I also believe that doing what is right to your health and self estime is the right thing. You both have an extraordinary positive impact on this making sure that skin protection and aging preventive / corrective is clarified, demystified and accessible to most. Many thanks from a subscriber from Portugal.
I don't think you are going to change any perception of wrinkles being more attractive than younger looking skin anytime soon if ever .. There is just too much delusion in that one.
@@farahjichi4617 All over the world and it's on females Men don't give a shit about there skin. But us females we want to stay great to feel great about ourselves to feel that u can get every guy u liked Even if u don't hav an intenetion to date or mingle we re just intention hoes haha but it's realy a biig big pressure on us from a young age
I am one on those who already have wrinkles but have no chance of living to 60. I've already embraced my gray hair 5 years ago. Even so there's no reason for attempting to look a bit half way decent between now and then.
The two of you together are magic no matter what the topic, but this was a fave for me. I especially love you saying wrinkles can be attractive and "Drink more water" is not the answer to every skin ailment. Thank you! 💕
I wish they would make them illegal here in the US! I am a high school teacher & what does give me hope, though, is that now my students just do spray tans for Prom etc. Back when I was in high school, everybody went to tanning beds before Prom 😱 😬
My takeaway 1. Sunscreen always 2. Moisturize 3. Retinol/vit c/niacinamide in skincare routine ❤️U guys always very informative and yet very simply explained love your skin too whenever I'm feeling lazy of not moisturizing or applying sunscreen I just come in here and watch them just to see how glowing their skin is and I know what I have to do Loads of love from India
@@irisricorodriguez8241 I don't think think that's a good idea If you're above 25 and starting fine lines go with retinol If you have dull skin use vit c If you have pimples and skin texture try niacinamide
Frownies are Awesome! My late husband never told me I scowled in my sleep😡 While on a road trip my sister told me I looked like I was doing calculus in my sleep. I have horrible “11s” and lip lines. Frownies help me not scowl in my sleep, helps with the “11s”, temporary but I’ll take it.
With due respect, the frownies work fantastically well. Those have been around for almost 100 years for a reason. However, I found the 'glue' and application problematic since it was not adhesive enough since I have very oily skin. So instead, I use painter's tape, double it to become a double layer, make a square and use it between the eye area for those frown lines, and it is truly amazing how smooth it is in the morning, and it lasts for quite awhile. With diligent use, my frown line wrinkle has lessened from what it was. Sounds silly I know, but honestly works quite well. Give it a try while you sleep and you'll see what I mean.
Painters tape as in the actual painters colored tape? I’ve used Frownies but unfortunately the adhesive did not stick throughout the night so I discarded the package. My husband purchased packaging tape and I too double it and shape it as well. However I do find that the tape will lift a bit in the corner due to facial oil production. Does painters tape not lift at all despite facial oil production?
Omg!!!! Facial exercises have taken yearrrrs off my face! I swear by them!!! My face is fuller, tighter, skin is bouncier......yes! Face exercises are the bomb!
I love your videos and what you are doing! I’m a PharmD specialised in dermocosmetics and I love how you communicate skincare, you are still very informative, while communicating in a closer and more relaxed way, also being very honest and sharing your own personal routines, love it! I use daily SPF, vitamin C, retinoids and have tried Botox, my next step will be biostimulators!
Could you do a video on greying of hair - both the myths and facts. I know it isn't possible to prevent hair greying, but I'd be interested to know if there were steps we could take to delay it. What are the mistakes we make that could possibly accelerate hair greying? Or is it a genetic thing that nobody has any control over?
I am 67, although I don't look it. During Covid I let my colored brown hair with blonde highlights grow out to gray. It took some work by my stylist, adding lowlights & such but I am so in love with my gray! People compliment me all the time & ask me who does my color... (God). I'd never want to go back...even if it was natural.
Eat 2 brazil nuts a day. I haven't coloured my hair for a year now and I have very little grey hair. I eat 2 brazil nuts a day for the selenium they contain.
A quick clarification because I would love to hear more about this product from y'all- for the product Frownies, you actually wet the tape when applying and it hardens when it dries. So it forms a sort of cast that they claim stops/reduces the movement of those muscles while you sleep. Thanks so much for all the good info! Love this channel! My skin has already improved with just implementing a few changes form y'alls suggestions.
Hey I use them for almost a year and yep your right tiny water or mist on back set and go to sleep, it’s like having a piece of cardboard harden on your face lol but I love them, of course the wrinkles come back later in the day lol but I think they may push some abay for awhile
In my 20s, I went to a tanning salon for 8 weeks. My lily-white skin didn’t change colour at all. The owner of the salon told me to ”learn to love my skin”. It was invaluable advice. I always hated the sun anyway
@Trinity M To be perfectly honest, I also gave myself two good burns in my lifetime that caused me to see a doctor. I have a lot to answer for. But I’ve had several not so serious and one serious skin cancer removed. Every time I see my dermatologist there are always a few new cancers to freeze off. I haven’t seen the sun since my early twenties but I’m still paying for it in my 50s and I’m sure I’ll be dealing with it for the rest of my life. Sunscreen folks. Wide brimmed hats. Good protective clothing. You don’t know what you’ve got 'til it's gone. Learn from my mistakes
@@riohenry6382 I know what you mean, it's a hassle to put on. I only use in winter and when someone is likely to see me naked, haha. You probably know, but you can get the fake tan lotions that give a strong colour, or ones which build more slowly and require many applications over time. Maybe the type that builds slowly might give you a more natural look.
I am 62, melanoma survivor, have had many BCC surgically removed (5 on the face), and had MOHS. I also work at that big beauty store. Haven't been in the sun at all for about 30 yrs. I have an excellent skin care regime (retinol, HA, peptides, etc). My customers tell me that I look at the most age 45. Total ego boost, but is really due to smart skin care practice, and NO sun (use great sunscreen).
It’s my 45th birthday & I swear my wrinkles were worse 10ish years ago. I used to use tanning beds & lay out in the sun all the time 10-20 years ago. BUT, the last decade I’ve spent the time to have a good, solid BUT basic skincare regime & I spend WAY LESS TIME outside of my house in general. Also, I don’t drink alcohol anymore & eat a lot healthier. ALSO, I legit have a sunglass addiction (it’s weird but I wear them all the time when outside not when it’s dark obvi) but I have not ONE WRINKLE AROUND MY EYES! It’s a good addiction I guess 😂 Only thing I wish to look into is plumping my lips A LITTLE. Love this channel & going to join the discord
You guys are great!👍 I realy like how you give the description of the remedy/ product/procedure, in detail, but not a long medical description. Just enough to be informative yet interesting. Great video. 👍
I use regular masking tape between my brows at night. Two pieces places in a cross pattern - one tape vertically one tape over that piece horizontally and works for me cause I frown hard at night! 🤣😂 I saw this done by a model and started the use in college. During the day I try to remember not to frown all day 🤓 Works for me 🤩
I love you guys! So glad I found your channel. One thing I’m surprised about is that you never mentioned Sleeping on your back verses sleeping on your sides. I have such terrible wrinkles because I have always been a side sleeper. Thanks guys keep the videos coming!😀
I agree that your sleeping position has a lot to do with how you wrinkle. I was a stomach face down sleeper until I was in my 30's. It didn't hurt my skin when I was that young but I worked hard to learn to sleep on my back and side. I sleep with my face off the pillow. Only my ear and head is on the pillow. I hope I will sleep more on my back but it's pretty hard to know what's happening when you're asleep.
I have found Frownies to be pretty incredible as a non-invasive Botox alternative! You of course still have movement in your face but consistent use softens lines dramatically.
I will agree with this. I actually emote a lot in my sleep and wake up with hours of wrinkles being formed from bad dreams, etc. Frownies (or generic forms as well) at least eliminate those hours of deepening my wrinkles. I’ve been using them for 15 years now on and off and there is a big difference when I use them from when I don’t.
I've reduced my skin care to rose water and olive oil, with retinol every second day. I lightly massage the olive oil in for minimum one minute once a day, then wipe off excess. It works for me and I feel better not putting all those chemicals on. I had C02 laser 6 months ago and don't like the way it seemed to take away some character. IPL however, some 15 years ago was life changing as it took care of my rosacea and sensitivity. My biggest facial improvement was having a missing tooth fixed, right at the corner of my smile. I have missed my smile these past 10 years and it's liberating to be able to use it again!
A fixed smile is a huge thing! I had a root canal on a front tooth in college, and about 10 years later it was dark, and fragile, and it broke. That broken tooth made me feel so ugly. Getting it fixed was such a self esteem boost.
@@thistlecreek1 what happened and what did it cost you to fix? I noticed my crowns etc eventually gave no matter which dentist, wth is up with this?!???
@@ajl577 originally the dentist who fixed it first build it up with filling material. That lasted for about 7 years and it cost around 250. It did break again, and by then we had dental insurance, now it's a full fledged crown. I'm very careful about eating with it ever since the first fix. No biting into things like apples.
My best friend and I were sun worshipers, sun lamp users, and tanning bed baby boomers, in the 70’s & 80’s. Now I have tons of ugly skin damage all over my skin, and my bf developed a rash that was biopsied & she was diagnosed w/squamous cell carcinoma on her chest. It’s been a rough treatment process for her. As for me I have to see the dermatologist every 6 weeks to freeze off many spots, and have painful & expensive IPL treatments as well. Great video doctors!👍🏽🤓
What's your opinion on applying superoxide dismutase (specifically the SUPEROXIDE DISMUTASE SACCHARIDE MIST by NIOD) topically to the skin, does it give good protection from oxidative stress/free radical damage? Please do talk more about the idea of layering antioxidants under your sunscreen, I think that's something that's missing from a lot of conversations about preventing visible signs of ageing. Thanks!
You guys are great 😁❤❤ I hope all will listen to your warning about tanning beds. I was an aerobics instructor and personal trainer in the 80's and early 90's..we had full use of the clubs we worked in..and yes I used the tanning beds..I had melanoma surgery in 1996 and thank you God it has not returned...I hope young people will heed your advice..❤❤❤
Thank you so much for sharing. The more I operate on young individuals with skin cancer the more passionate I get about keeping people out of tanning beds. Almost every single one came with a history of tanning beds. And the cancers can be fairly aggressive and deforming ones at that -Dr. Maxfield
It is probably offtopic but I like this energy between you two. It is radiating that you do not only do business together, you two are actual friends. This dynamic is visible. As to the content - thanks for valuable advice.
I’m 53, I got a little bit of fillers in my cheeks three years ago and loved it. It gave just a little lift and volume, but I didn’t touch any of my wrinkles. I don’t want a Nicole Kidman face… My skincare routine has improved so much from watching channels like yours, other derms and skincare experts. My skin is in better condition now, and some wrinkles such as the ones on my forehead are much less deep! I feel good about my skin for my age, and don’t care about happy wrinkles 😁
Good for you. Post back when you are 73, and the wrinkles are still natural but 4 times as many, & 3 times as noticeable.. We all look great in our 50s, especially if we have good features, and style.
On that face fitness thing: you're supposed to exercise only the weak muscles, muscles you don't use a lot (for example, my husband has no idea how to lift his upper lip) and in the process you're using your fingers to prevent skin from forming wrinkles. In combination with massage it gives noticeable results.
Exactly--it's just like toning any other muscles; it creates definition and can make things more lifted. Less sagging and more lift = looking younger. Anyway, facial exercises have worked really well for me, especially on my hooded eyes and jawline. I liked most of this video but was disappointed to see facial exercises dismissed out of hand, even as they acknowledged there is evidence they do make you look younger!
I love how encouraging you guys were in this! Honestly you guys are the best and I’m so glad there’s people like you on TH-cam. What a blessing to be able to hear from kind, talented derms 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻💙💙💙
Please don't stop making videos. These videos are life changing. Please make videos on how to increase or maintain collagen production in our body, does mobile and laptop screen blue light ages us?
I would appreciate a video about skincare beyond the face (if you’re looking for ideas). As I age chest wrinkles are forming, I would appreciate ideas beyond “sleep on your back” to help with that. I also want to ensure I’m doing all I can for the health of my skin.
I love your attitude about wrinkles. I appreciate a few wrinkles on my friends and family. It adds character. I have upped my sunscreen game since watching your channel. I reapply on a regular basis. 👍🏻. Thanks doctors 🌸
I think the logic behind face exercises is the fact that healthy fascia (=collagen building) needs movement and circulation. Tissues get old by immobilization. So it's a diverse topic, I'd like to learn more about it.
I just wanna say that I've used Frownies for a lil while (I'm 28) to deal with the lines between my eyebrows. I think the biggest thing is that they give me a constant cue to relax those muscles. I'd describe the feeling less like "tape" and more hard like "paper mache" or maybe like a tiny cast. If I try to scowl, sure, I can break the Frownie's hold. But it does do a good job of keeping me from making the expression that I want to avoid! I've definitely noticed a difference over several months of using them. Also, when I sleep on my side, they seem to keep my skin from folding as much, and I don't wake up with lines.
Agree! I think these guys shouldn't be so dismissive so fast I've been wearing a patch on my 11's religiously for 2 years now and I have visibly reduced 11's, before and after photos to prove it (both taken at night, 16 hours after removing the patch). My boyfriend thought it was funny at first but now he's so used to it, it's not even a thing
Besides wearing a moisturizer and sunblock, I also wear sunglasses every time I go outside during the day, so I don't squint, thus helping to prevent crows feet. 😁
I have been putting collagen in my coffee every morning for approximately 9 months now. I am seeing skin tightening and fewer wrinkles. I use hyaluronic acid and a great hydration product.
I use a small rectangle of clear medical tape between my brows for the 1 that I have there. If I do it a few nights in a row, it really reduces the wrinkle for the days. If I remember to use it for over a week, the effect lasts longer, even if I don't do it for the nights after that. It is totally atrophying my brown muscles but in such a way that I can still express with them when needed.

I've found since adding a weekly 10 minute AHA/BHA peel, my tretinoin is doing a better job at adding collagen. I've not seen lip filler that didn't look odd. I'm sure it can be done, but overdoing it seems to be the norm.
@@debcollins8231 Paula's Choice AHA/BHA Peel. I'm decreasing this from once a week to once ever two weeks during fall and winter because my skin needs more moisture care.
@@susanmcf1 Thank you 😊 I am on it and excited to try it. Been on tretinoin 0.0025 for a little over two months and have not noticed much difference. Maybe I am too impatient. I hope this will help.
Yag lasers have devastating complications, dermal thickening, scarring, stripes that come and go varying with temperature changes and hypo pigmentation. I know as a relative suffered these complications. She was told after the laser procedure, that the complications are common and he didn't know what to do about them and he didn't have a magic wand to wave over her. The only doctor who offered her help was a Belgium laser expert who informed her that her complications are indeed common and at his practice he doesn't use lasers for resurfacing, he uses an advanced chemical peel called the Tel Aviv advanced chemical peel. His advice was to take super strong vitamin B complex as it had shown to help with the complication of the stripes. Best wishes from Europe ❤
i just got botox for the first time and i am extremely happy. yes i look a little better, but really i feel way more relaxed and feel happier because i’m not stuck in a constant frown/squint. i’m only 27, and i did this mainly for cosmetic purposes but i also feel effects outside the cosmetic side of things. my face is lighter and less tensed up and achy!
This was a great video. And thanks for starting out on a positive note - my crows feet bother me (because of your last point about women feeling like we shouldn’t have any wrinkles at all), but I agree at the same time they’re the best wrinkles. 😂 It’s beautiful when someone’s smile reaches their eyes, so I try to remember that. I haven’t gotten Botox but just started using argireline a couple weeks ago, so we’ll see! 🤞
I love this channel and the honest but non-catty, quality education you gents graciously provide the public so that we can make better-informed decisions. Thank you! May I request skincare recommendations for people who are going through traumatic bodily events like chemo, or post op Mohs Sx? I would love to know what Rx or OTC recommendations you two have for both soothing comfort and daily defense but also if any preventative/anti aging products would be appropriate to use on folks who are going through those types of ordeals?
Vanicream would be a superb brand you should use. It was developed by Mayo Clinic physicians for their cancer patients undergoing treatment and had very sensitive skin as a result. Everything in the Vanicream line is incredibly gentle and healing! Face cleanser, daily face moisturizer, sunscreen during the day-then face cleanser and moisturizing cream on face and body at night-are what I recommend. For deep, healing moisturizing of very dry, damaged skin, their ointment is fantastic. Incredibly soothing and spreads like soft butter!
Dr Maxfield circa 0:45 💗🌸💗🌸💗🌸💗 Yes!!! 👏 👏 👏 Thank you 🙏 I’ll put this in my memory to cheer up future me. I’m a babyfaced woman in my early 40s but I realize that it’s not forever. Sooner or later I too will get wrinkles. I’ve been good and persistent with sunscreen and avoiding the sun. And since a few years I’ve amped up my skincare routine with some peptides and retinol&bakuchiol as well as AHA and BHA and resveratrol & furulic acid and other antioxidants. And I try to live a good and healthy and happy life. But I think it’s very important to love yourself, with wrinkles too 😌🙂💗
A real professional is a person that can in simple words present something extremely complicated. i have just witnessed that. Its obvious that you do prepare for these vids but as a viewer i really learn a lot and i enjoy the spontaneous elements making you two just awesome presenters. I learned so much watching ur vids that i even started adding some medicinal literature to my readings and iam a marketing specialist :)
By the way, I did a face yoga course and my deep wrinkles around the mouth (nose to mouth folds) went away after 1 month BUT!! It was too annoying to keep doing this for 15 mins everyday. BUT IT DOES WORK. 2 months after I stopped the face yoga, the wrinkle lines came back....
I don't know when we decided that wrinkles were bad but try to embrace them. Just use your retinoids and sunscreen and live happy. Aging is a privilege. Not everyone gets to do it. Thanks again for a great video gentlemen. :)
Every time I put any acid even 3%

I tried a retinol 0.025%
My face turns into a swollen ballon with sandpaper texture
So I officially will have wrinkles as none of those are tolerated by my skin LOL

Hey docs, yesterday I went back to my derma clinic after 2 years for a bit of Botox but my regular doctor left during the pandemic. The new doctor, super nice, took 3D pics of my face, blew them up on a massive HD screen and showed me all my flaws. He ended up recommending fillers: temples, cheeks, eyes, lips, PRP, laser, HIFU, Botox, and 2 more procedures that I can’t recall. While he was trying to sell me on this by showing me a 10X magnified 3D image of my flaws that are obviously there, i kept thinking im a confident woman and I will say no(he insisted several times) but this strategy will sure work for people with less confidence. I was able to say no because I have learnt so much from watching you two and I love how you educate us. I wish some of the industry practices would follow a more ethical not financial gain strategy. Thank you for the education!
I wouldn't go back to him.
Find a different dermatologist. Not all of them are trying to take your money. Ask your girlfriends for a recommendation.
Stay confident! Run....far and fast.
Wow, nothing like a smooth talker to deflate a person’s ego! Sheeeesh…don’t go back!!!
The question is : how much was everything?
62 y/o F. Had great skin with min effort ( & easy tan) until 50. Problems with ortho pain & extended grief/depression affected wrinkles. Came out of it @ 60, but left with pronounced resting grumpy face. So youngsters, address mental health & happiness along with sun protection & moisture.

@@youmemeyou yes exactly! one got uglier and age faster with depression or negative minds. good face posture is important, it will shape your face, so even if u arent happy try smiley face or good face posture even while you are sleeping!!!
I also noticed I look so much older after bad break up and long depression..
I’m 57 years old. My goal? Not to look younger, I just want to look good for my age.. so I am changing my skincare. I discovered that my routine I used at 20 is NOT going to be effective now that I’m in my 50’s! I had to go to a dermatologist to know that….and watch these guys….thank you both! 🙏🏻
I never looked at one of my relatives that had wrinkles and thought anything other than how much I loved them.
LOVE that you included the bit in the beginning about wrinkles giving character to someone’s face!
agreed. we need more aging positivity. too much negativity around the normal signs of getting older; "anti-aging" shouldn't be consuming every minute of the day.
I have better skin at 59, than I ever did in my 30’s and 40’s thanks to you two and your straight forward information. Wrinkles. I call mine cracks. My middle brow is for sure cracked, not wrinkled. I can live with it. Especially now that my texture is improving daily. Again, thanks to you.

Dr. Shah, I would love to hear your skin cancer story. 20-something Melanoma survivor over here! I think it's so amazing you shared that even dermatologists are at risk - it makes it even more real for others!
I think he’s talked about it in earlier videos
Can you guys please do a video discussing the how fillers don’t dissolve fully like we thought, they actually migrate? An Aussie derm, Dr. Gavin Chan has a whole video on how he stopped doing dermal fillers because he noticed the filler was migrating south due to gravity & was shown on MRI to be in the face 7 years later.
More & more derms are abandoning filler after this is becoming more widespread knowledge 🙀
Yeh filler would increase ur face volume which will make u feel less attractive
And fillers vs fat-transfer, please!!
That’s horrifying and fascinating all at the same time
I would also love to hear about the fillers not dissolving
Yes, I heard that about fillers too.
I’m a licensed esthetician and I also get bothered when I explain to clients that their skin shows signs of dehydration and I direct them to HA products and they tell me “oh no I’ll just drink more water”. I don’t know how drinking water has all of a sudden become the cure all for skin disorders/conditions. Obviously yes drink water for over all health but it won’t fix all skin conditions. Love that this was mentioned!
I personally think crowsfeet are HOT! Now, it's true I am a 67 y/o grandmother, but I've always felt that way. When people are really smiling from their heart it comes thru their eyes. To me a person with crowsfeet has had a joy-filled life!
Pam so true….I can right away tell when a person has a fake smile or genuine one. A smile that stretches from ear to ear and makes your eye squint and your lips widened is a smile that makes you feel warm and loved.🥰

Love how informative and honest you are. Also, I really appreciate you mentioning differences in beauty standards depending on gender. I mean, it is a huge factor - women are expected to look like they are in their twenties literally for their whole life, and men "age like a good wine".

There’s a sweet spot with wrinkles I think. It’s insane to want to look like you haven’t aged because that translates to looking like you haven’t lived.
I’ve read about a lady in her 40s, I believe, that didn’t have wrinkles… because she trained herself to not laugh and smile and make the least facial expressions she could.
Imagine living your entire life not being free to emote because you’re that scared of aging. That’s so sad.

Dentists do botox?
@@yukiminami9202 YES. They always have once it was approved for use for cosmetic purposes. BOTOX was used for Medical reasons only before it was approved for Cosmetic purposes...for wrinkles especially.

I’m laughing at all of these comments where people are claiming they look much younger than their age. Does anyone look their age anymore 😅? If you are 50, 60, 70…embrace it.

Omg! Just saw this video after spending the past 6 months obsessively trying to get the wrinkles off my face at 53! I’ve had crows feet wrinkles since my early 20s & have been insulted many times because of them …. Thanku so much for kindness and support of happy people that show with their wrinkles from laughing & smiling often which is me!

Whoever insulted must've been jealous of all the happiness you've enjoyed to earn those crows feet ❤
I always liked my crows feet around my eyes because when I look in the mirror I see my dad and the lines he had around his eyes.
Am I watching this because I don’t want to look old? Yes! But at the same time I wish I could just embrace the aging process and not worry about it.
Hi Mary, two ways of looking at this. Yes, you could embrace the aging process, IF that were to make you happy OR you can embrace the the Anti'Aging process, which sounds more in line with the way you're thinking. Neither way is wrong, but for me, why do I want to look old and haggered, when I can reduce that greatly with a few skin products and a bit of skin resurfacing laser work? I hope you can make piece with your desicion. :)
As long as you’re not broke and/or exhausted, anti-aging strategies can be pretty simple.

I'm at the age where skin aging is a big issue, and I have a tretinoid treatment since 2017 I really find my skin better looking now at 35 than in all of my 20s. My derm prescribed it to me for sudden string acne and mentioned the anti aging benefits I didn't really care about at the time. I will never regret being consistent and therefore wearing SPF 50+ everyday since then.
Nice! Thanks for sharing that. Consistency is the key!

My boyfriend mentioned they were fading and my lids were less hooded but I figured he tried to be nice. All that to say I'm glad I'm not hallucinating and that it's possible that tretinoin is efficient enough to fade my fine lines. 😊 (Edit : I had to fix the terrible English as I could)
@@latinaalma1947 ive never used retin A can you please share which product you buy.
Thank you for acknowledging the role social conditioning has in the acceptance of aging - men become more 'refined' and women get 'old'.
I went to a dermatologist once and she said, " what's that on your face? " I said "vaseline" . She then balled me out for using it. Well, I'm allergic to a lot of moisturizers , and vaseline was the only thing I could use. I continued to use it and I'm now 69 and have pretty nice looking skin . Thanks for making me feel better!!!
Dermatologist, Dr. Dray on YT is a very strong proponent of petrolatum for moisturizing and skin healing. Sone of her very fave products contain 40% or so of it!
I’d never go back to that dermatologist you saw. She has proven that she knows very little about her profession.
Castor oil is now mine rather than Vaseline:)
Frownies worked well for me on preventing my 11 lines getting deeper at night. I really liked it. Worth a try.
I use clear surgical tape at night to prevent 11's. Cheaper than frownies!Very effective! 64 years old and not a wrinkle.
Clear surgical tape for 11s has been very successful for me as well

@@dejanirathompson7502, my program is super easy, but I have different brands for different moods to my skin. If my skin is behaving, I use Paula’s Choice Optimal Hydrating cleanser. If I get a staph infection or my skin is “molting” I use YonKa Cleansing Milk. If my skin is in revolt, I go straight for the Paula’s Choice ultra rich moisturizer then Paula’s Choice daily moisturizing lotion with 30SPF. If my skin is doing well or at least no open wounds, I use the Paula’s Choice BHA exfoliant and her vitamin C booster. Once a week at night I’ll use the 1% retinol treatment. I like the fact that Paula’s Choice isn’t heavy on the fragrance and it seems to work for me. The key is finding a brand or products that don’t make you react, but are also products that work.

I have suffered with migraines for 50 years and have had every treatment, tried every drug, herb, and spent thousands of dollars. If one more person tells me I just need to DRINK MORE WATER I will lose my mind!
I used to get horrible migraines until I healed past trauma, balanced my hormones, regulated my blood sugar, upped my protein intake, upped my magnesium, cut out alcohol, and stopped being vegan/ restricted eating. Maybe trying those things can help you too?? Migraine patterning can be really complicated, wishing you the best.
Oh and I know you mentioned herbs, but these herbal tinctures called Flow Balance and Liver Juice by Organic Olivia, help with the hormonal balance, and if I feel a migraine coming on, I take flow balance and it will stop it right there. So maybe if your situation is caused by imbalanced hormones, these could support you.
I recently stopped Botox and I feel so good about it.Taking care of you’re skin is not necessarily not having wrinkles. Thanks for doing this video 👍🏼

Thank you for not demonising ageing..especially the ageing of women. I think most women (and society in general) have a really unhealthy view of the ageing process, which can evolve into much deeper issues than wrinkles.
Hi Docs! I actually have tried Frownies; they absolutely smooth out the skin and decrease the look of fine lines. They work best when used consistently. It's by no means derm-level anti-aging, but it does provide a smoother look to fine lines. Weird, I know! Thanks for another helpful video.
Agree!!
I use 3M transpore tape. Works perfectly.
I know, i used them and they work well. I apply them over my water based serums.
@@denisenj7648 Tape is also much cheaper than Frownies.

Frownies were used in “old Hollywood”. (Think:?Joan Crawford ) I loooove them ! Not a Tape but you wet skin side and keep skin static overnight. At 60 , I use in conjunction with all other treatments. Satin pillow case , pillows, sleeping on back , skincare pm routine , etc. what made the biggest difference in my skin is eliminating Sugar and it’s free !!!!

I initially started watching your videos because my skin was A MESS from all the bullshit that happens when you're grieving the loss of your soul mate. Mostly it was dehydration, but lack of sleep, poor diet, alcohol intake, and just generally not giving much of a shit about any aspect of self care... I looked so old so suddenly. You guys somehow made me realize that I should start taking care of myself. So I did, and a few months later, my skin looks better than I think it ever has.

Frownies are Awesome! My late husband never told me I scowled in my sleep😡 While on a road trip my sister told me I looked like I was doing calculus in my sleep. I have horrible “11s” and lip lines. Frownies help me not scowl in my sleep, helps with the “11s”, temporary but I’ll take it.
I was a just curious how silicone patches helped. How long does the taping last? Like a day or longer?
With due respect, the frownies work fantastically well. Those have been around for almost 100 years for a reason. However, I found the 'glue' and application problematic since it was not adhesive enough since I have very oily skin. So instead, I use painter's tape, double it to become a double layer, make a square and use it between the eye area for those frown lines, and it is truly amazing how smooth it is in the morning, and it lasts for quite awhile. With diligent use, my frown line wrinkle has lessened from what it was. Sounds silly I know, but honestly works quite well. Give it a try while you sleep and you'll see what I mean.
I am trying it now and so surprised frownies actually work.
Thank you for sharing your experience!
Painters tape as in the actual painters colored tape? I’ve used Frownies but unfortunately the adhesive did not stick throughout the night so I discarded the package. My husband purchased packaging tape and I too double it and shape it as well. However I do find that the tape will lift a bit in the corner due to facial oil production. Does painters tape not lift at all despite facial oil production?
Omg!!!! Facial exercises have taken yearrrrs off my face! I swear by them!!! My face is fuller, tighter, skin is bouncier......yes! Face exercises are the bomb!
I so agree with you, I've been doing face exercises since the age of 35 and I am now 55 and my skin looks better now than it ever looked at 35.

What are the mistakes we make that could possibly accelerate hair greying? Or is it a genetic thing that nobody has any control over?
Yes! That would be very interesting. I read recently that (to a very small degree) some grey hair was reversed due to removing stress etc.
I am 67, although I don't look it. During Covid I let my colored brown hair with blonde highlights grow out to gray. It took some work by my stylist, adding lowlights & such but I am so in love with my gray! People compliment me all the time & ask me who does my color... (God). I'd never want to go back...even if it was natural.
Eat 2 brazil nuts a day. I haven't coloured my hair for a year now and I have very little grey hair. I eat 2 brazil nuts a day for the selenium they contain.
@@pamcanfield255 I have had the same experience. I love my grey highlights and get compliments often.. Easier and less expensive too.
Surely hair advice isnt the remit of dermatologists ?
A quick clarification because I would love to hear more about this product from y'all- for the product Frownies, you actually wet the tape when applying and it hardens when it dries. So it forms a sort of cast that they claim stops/reduces the movement of those muscles while you sleep. Thanks so much for all the good info! Love this channel! My skin has already improved with just implementing a few changes form y'alls suggestions.
Hey I use them for almost a year and yep your right tiny water or mist on back set and go to sleep, it’s like having a piece of cardboard harden on your face lol but I love them, of course the wrinkles come back later in the day lol but I think they may push some abay for awhile
In my 20s, I went to a tanning salon for 8 weeks. My lily-white skin didn’t change colour at all. The owner of the salon told me to ”learn to love my skin”. It was invaluable advice. I always hated the sun anyway
@Trinity M To be perfectly honest, I also gave myself two good burns in my lifetime that caused me to see a doctor. I have a lot to answer for. But I’ve had several not so serious and one serious skin cancer removed. Every time I see my dermatologist there are always a few new cancers to freeze off. I haven’t seen the sun since my early twenties but I’m still paying for it in my 50s and I’m sure I’ll be dealing with it for the rest of my life. Sunscreen folks. Wide brimmed hats. Good protective clothing. You don’t know what you’ve got 'til it's gone. Learn from my mistakes
Why not use fake tan? Having a tan gives most pale white people more confidence.
@@StopMediaFakery I couldn’t be bothered with the upkeep. Maybe I’ll try one one day but I’m so pale everything looks fake.
@@riohenry6382 I know what you mean, it's a hassle to put on. I only use in winter and when someone is likely to see me naked, haha. You probably know, but you can get the fake tan lotions that give a strong colour, or ones which build more slowly and require many applications over time. Maybe the type that builds slowly might give you a more natural look.
I am 62, melanoma survivor, have had many BCC surgically removed (5 on the face), and had MOHS. I also work at that big beauty store. Haven't been in the sun at all for about 30 yrs. I have an excellent skin care regime (retinol, HA, peptides, etc). My customers tell me that I look at the most age 45. Total ego boost, but is really due to smart skin care practice, and NO sun (use great sunscreen).
Please share your skincare routine and products with us!
UVA coming inside and causing aging versus UVB being outside and causing skin cancer was very educational.
It’s my 45th birthday & I swear my wrinkles were worse 10ish years ago. I used to use tanning beds & lay out in the sun all the time 10-20 years ago. BUT, the last decade I’ve spent the time to have a good, solid BUT basic skincare regime & I spend WAY LESS TIME outside of my house in general. Also, I don’t drink alcohol anymore & eat a lot healthier. ALSO, I legit have a sunglass addiction (it’s weird but I wear them all the time when outside not when it’s dark obvi) but I have not ONE WRINKLE AROUND MY EYES! It’s a good addiction I guess 😂 Only thing I wish to look into is plumping my lips A LITTLE. Love this channel & going to join the discord
You guys are great!👍
I realy like how you give the description of the remedy/ product/procedure, in detail, but not a long medical description. Just enough to be informative yet interesting. Great video. 👍
I use regular masking tape between my brows at night. Two pieces places in a cross pattern - one tape vertically one tape over that piece horizontally and works for me cause I frown hard at night! 🤣😂 I saw this done by a model and started the use in college. During the day I try to remember not to frown all day 🤓 Works for me 🤩
I love you guys! So glad I found your channel. One thing I’m surprised about is that you never mentioned Sleeping on your back verses sleeping on your sides. I have such terrible wrinkles because I have always been a side sleeper. Thanks guys keep the videos coming!😀
I agree that your sleeping position has a lot to do with how you wrinkle. I was a stomach face down sleeper until I was in my 30's. It didn't hurt my skin when I was that young but I worked hard to learn to sleep on my back and side. I sleep with my face off the pillow. Only my ear and head is on the pillow. I hope I will sleep more on my back but it's pretty hard to know what's happening when you're asleep.
I have found Frownies to be pretty incredible as a non-invasive Botox alternative! You of course still have movement in your face but consistent use softens lines dramatically.
Excited
I love frownies too!
I will agree with this. I actually emote a lot in my sleep and wake up with hours of wrinkles being formed from bad dreams, etc. Frownies (or generic forms as well) at least eliminate those hours of deepening my wrinkles. I’ve been using them for 15 years now on and off and there is a big difference when I use them from when I don’t.
Will they stick on top of retinoid/moisturizer?
@@jcs1090 I don’t know about the retinoid but you just have to give the moisturizer enough time to sink in first, then apply these.
Can you guys please talk more about microneedling? How it works, benefits, aftercare etc?
It's also a good idea to take a collagen powder supplement too. Not just for your skin but also hair and nails
I've reduced my skin care to rose water and olive oil, with retinol every second day. I lightly massage the olive oil in for minimum one minute once a day, then wipe off excess. It works for me and I feel better not putting all those chemicals on. I had C02 laser 6 months ago and don't like the way it seemed to take away some character. IPL however, some 15 years ago was life changing as it took care of my rosacea and sensitivity.
My biggest facial improvement was having a missing tooth fixed, right at the corner of my smile. I have missed my smile these past 10 years and it's liberating to be able to use it again!
A fixed smile is a huge thing! I had a root canal on a front tooth in college, and about 10 years later it was dark, and fragile, and it broke. That broken tooth made me feel so ugly. Getting it fixed was such a self esteem boost.
@@thistlecreek1 what happened and what did it cost you to fix? I noticed my crowns etc eventually gave no matter which dentist, wth is up with this?!???
@@ajl577 originally the dentist who fixed it first build it up with filling material. That lasted for about 7 years and it cost around 250. It did break again, and by then we had dental insurance, now it's a full fledged crown. I'm very careful about eating with it ever since the first fix. No biting into things like apples.
@@thistlecreek1 thanks for the info, I've got issues from bruxism 😮💨😖
My best friend and I were sun worshipers, sun lamp users, and tanning bed baby boomers, in the 70’s & 80’s. Now I have tons of ugly skin damage all over my skin, and my bf developed a rash that was biopsied & she was diagnosed w/squamous cell carcinoma on her chest. It’s been a rough treatment process for her. As for me I have to see the dermatologist every 6 weeks to freeze off many spots, and have painful & expensive IPL treatments as well. Great video doctors!👍🏽🤓
What's your opinion on applying superoxide dismutase (specifically the SUPEROXIDE DISMUTASE SACCHARIDE MIST by NIOD) topically to the skin, does it give good protection from oxidative stress/free radical damage? Please do talk more about the idea of layering antioxidants under your sunscreen, I think that's something that's missing from a lot of conversations about preventing visible signs of ageing. Thanks!
I love this mist and use it throughout the day!
They are so fun to watch. You can tell they are actually friends who have known each other a long time. Plus they are so good looking!
You guys are great 😁❤❤ I hope all will listen to your warning about tanning beds. I was an aerobics instructor and personal trainer in the 80's and early 90's..we had full use of the clubs we worked in..and yes I used the tanning beds..I had melanoma surgery in 1996 and thank you God it has not returned...I hope young people will heed your advice..❤❤❤
Thank you so much for sharing. The more I operate on young individuals with skin cancer the more passionate I get about keeping people out of tanning beds. Almost every single one came with a history of tanning beds. And the cancers can be fairly aggressive and deforming ones at that -Dr. Maxfield
@@Doctorly yw..😊❤❤
It is probably offtopic but I like this energy between you two. It is radiating that you do not only do business together, you two are actual friends. This dynamic is visible. As to the content - thanks for valuable advice.
I’m 53, I got a little bit of fillers in my cheeks three years ago and loved it. It gave just a little lift and volume, but I didn’t touch any of my wrinkles. I don’t want a Nicole Kidman face… My skincare routine has improved so much from watching channels like yours, other derms and skincare experts. My skin is in better condition now, and some wrinkles such as the ones on my forehead are much less deep! I feel good about my skin for my age, and don’t care about happy wrinkles 😁
If that is you in the pic, you look absolutely gorgeous
Good for you. Post back when you are 73, and the wrinkles are still natural but 4 times as many, & 3 times as noticeable.. We all look great in our 50s, especially if we have good features, and style.
On that face fitness thing: you're supposed to exercise only the weak muscles, muscles you don't use a lot (for example, my husband has no idea how to lift his upper lip) and in the process you're using your fingers to prevent skin from forming wrinkles. In combination with massage it gives noticeable results.
Exactly--it's just like toning any other muscles; it creates definition and can make things more lifted. Less sagging and more lift = looking younger. Anyway, facial exercises have worked really well for me, especially on my hooded eyes and jawline. I liked most of this video but was disappointed to see facial exercises dismissed out of hand, even as they acknowledged there is evidence they do make you look younger!
I love how encouraging you guys were in this! Honestly you guys are the best and I’m so glad there’s people like you on TH-cam. What a blessing to be able to hear from kind, talented derms 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻💙💙💙
Please don't stop making videos. These videos are life changing. Please make videos on how to increase or maintain collagen production in our body, does mobile and laptop screen blue light ages us?
Clicked SO FAST!!! Little Monday goodie to start off the week!🤗🤗
Exactly!
I love these guys- they are just so darn happy-it's hard not to smile when I watch their videos.
I would appreciate a video about skincare beyond the face (if you’re looking for ideas). As I age chest wrinkles are forming, I would appreciate ideas beyond “sleep on your back” to help with that. I also want to ensure I’m doing all I can for the health of my skin.
Informative! The ghost/burnt in image made me worried that my screen was broken, but it kept happening and I figured it out…
I love your attitude about wrinkles. I appreciate a few wrinkles on my friends and family. It adds character. I have upped my sunscreen game since watching your channel. I reapply on a regular basis. 👍🏻. Thanks doctors 🌸
I think the logic behind face exercises is the fact that healthy fascia (=collagen building) needs movement and circulation. Tissues get old by immobilization. So it's a diverse topic, I'd like to learn more about it.
I just wanna say that I've used Frownies for a lil while (I'm 28) to deal with the lines between my eyebrows. I think the biggest thing is that they give me a constant cue to relax those muscles. I'd describe the feeling less like "tape" and more hard like "paper mache" or maybe like a tiny cast. If I try to scowl, sure, I can break the Frownie's hold. But it does do a good job of keeping me from making the expression that I want to avoid! I've definitely noticed a difference over several months of using them. Also, when I sleep on my side, they seem to keep my skin from folding as much, and I don't wake up with lines.
Agree! I think these guys shouldn't be so dismissive so fast I've been wearing a patch on my 11's religiously for 2 years now and I have visibly reduced 11's, before and after photos to prove it (both taken at night, 16 hours after removing the patch). My boyfriend thought it was funny at first but now he's so used to it, it's not even a thing
Me too
Besides wearing a moisturizer and sunblock, I also wear sunglasses every time I go outside during the day, so I don't squint, thus helping to prevent crows feet. 😁
I agree, I see crows feet on folks and have never thought twice other than I can deal with those! I think jowls & turkey neck are far worse!
I have been putting collagen in my coffee every morning for approximately 9 months now. I am seeing skin tightening and fewer wrinkles. I use hyaluronic acid and a great hydration product.
I use a small rectangle of clear medical tape between my brows for the 1 that I have there. If I do it a few nights in a row, it really reduces the wrinkle for the days. If I remember to use it for over a week, the effect lasts longer, even if I don't do it for the nights after that. It is totally atrophying my brown muscles but in such a way that I can still express with them when needed.
Can this work on smile lines? Hmmm
@@piachavez5350 I'd imagine so, because this is the premise behind the silicone sheets and you can use them on any part of the face
Please make a video about retinoids used together with glycolic acid creams. What age to start/ rules to follow/ products / period&steps to help the skin adapt to the routine
I've found since adding a weekly 10 minute AHA/BHA peel, my tretinoin is doing a better job at adding collagen. I've not seen lip filler that didn't look odd. I'm sure it can be done, but overdoing it seems to be the norm.
That’s the key because you are removing the dead skins cells that the Vit A has worked hard to loosen
Could you please tell me which peel you use? Thank you
@@debcollins8231 Paula's Choice AHA/BHA Peel. I'm decreasing this from once a week to once ever two weeks during fall and winter because my skin needs more moisture care.
@@susanmcf1 Thank you 😊 I am on it and excited to try it. Been on tretinoin 0.0025 for a little over two months and have not noticed much difference. Maybe I am too impatient. I hope this will help.
Interesting! Thanks for sharing this.
Yag lasers have devastating complications, dermal thickening, scarring, stripes that come and go varying with temperature changes and hypo pigmentation. I know as a relative suffered these complications. She was told after the laser procedure, that the complications are common and he didn't know what to do about them and he didn't have a magic wand to wave over her. The only doctor who offered her help was a Belgium laser expert who informed her that her complications are indeed common and at his practice he doesn't use lasers for resurfacing, he uses an advanced chemical peel called the Tel Aviv advanced chemical peel. His advice was to take super strong vitamin B complex as it had shown to help with the complication of the stripes. Best wishes from Europe ❤
I'm 65 and dont mind crows feet. it's the vertical lines on my lips that I cant stand. I've never smoked, dont drink from a straw. ugh
i just got botox for the first time and i am extremely happy. yes i look a little better, but really i feel way more relaxed and feel happier because i’m not stuck in a constant frown/squint. i’m only 27, and i did this mainly for cosmetic purposes but i also feel effects outside the cosmetic side of things. my face is lighter and less tensed up and achy!
This was a great video. And thanks for starting out on a positive note - my crows feet bother me (because of your last point about women feeling like we shouldn’t have any wrinkles at all), but I agree at the same time they’re the best wrinkles. 😂 It’s beautiful when someone’s smile reaches their eyes, so I try to remember that. I haven’t gotten Botox but just started using argireline a couple weeks ago, so we’ll see! 🤞
Face exercise helps with face symmetry.. it also helps people be aware of facial expressions we do so we can learn to relax our face muscles!
I love this channel and the honest but non-catty, quality education you gents graciously provide the public so that we can make better-informed decisions. Thank you! May I request skincare recommendations for people who are going through traumatic bodily events like chemo, or post op Mohs Sx? I would love to know what Rx or OTC recommendations you two have for both soothing comfort and daily defense but also if any preventative/anti aging products would be appropriate to use on folks who are going through those types of ordeals?
Vanicream would be a superb brand you should use. It was developed by Mayo Clinic physicians for their cancer patients undergoing treatment and had very sensitive skin as a result. Everything in the Vanicream line is incredibly gentle and healing!
Face cleanser, daily face moisturizer, sunscreen during the day-then face cleanser and moisturizing cream on face and body at night-are what I recommend.
For deep, healing moisturizing of very dry, damaged skin, their ointment is fantastic. Incredibly soothing and spreads like soft butter!
Dr Maxfield circa 0:45 💗🌸💗🌸💗🌸💗 Yes!!! 👏 👏 👏 Thank you 🙏
I’ll put this in my memory to cheer up future me.
I’m a babyfaced woman in my early 40s
but I realize that it’s not forever. Sooner or later I too will get wrinkles. I’ve been good and persistent with sunscreen and avoiding the sun. And since a few years I’ve amped up my skincare routine with some peptides and retinol&bakuchiol as well as AHA and BHA and resveratrol & furulic acid and other antioxidants.
And I try to live a good and healthy and happy life.
But I think it’s very important to love yourself, with wrinkles too 😌🙂💗
Can you guys do a video talking about body washes such as Olay coming out with treatment ingredients in them such as retinol, etc?
A real professional is a person that can in simple words present something extremely complicated. i have just witnessed that. Its obvious that you do prepare for these vids but as a viewer i really learn a lot and i enjoy the spontaneous elements making you two just awesome presenters. I learned so much watching ur vids that i even started adding some medicinal literature to my readings and iam a marketing specialist :)
By the way, I did a face yoga course and my deep wrinkles around the mouth (nose to mouth folds) went away after 1 month BUT!! It was too annoying to keep doing this for 15 mins everyday. BUT IT DOES WORK. 2 months after I stopped the face yoga, the wrinkle lines came back....
What course did you do?
Face yoga method.
I love that there are two people on this channel. You have such great chemistry with each other and it makes it fun to watch.
