Stop! 🛑 microneedling can actually damage your skin.

Those needles are meant to go straight up and down, creating clean, controlled micro-injuries that stimulate collagen.

But if the device is being dragged or swept across the skin, it introduces shear force — meaning the skin is being pulled sideways while it’s being punctured.

It can lead to:
• micro-tearing
• excess inflammation
• disruption of normal healing
• and sometimes worse texture instead of improvement

Collagen stimulation should be precise and intentional.

There are technologies that deliver energy into the skin in a much more controlled, targeted way — reaching specific depths without creating unintended shear stress at the surface.

The bottom line:
Precision is everything. Why settle for less?

Are you STILL taking biotin for hair growth??

Newsflash: for most people, it does nothing 😬

I’ve been recommending Xtresse hair growth gummies to my patients, and here’s why I actually believe in them:

✅ Biotin-free — because biotin can interfere with lab results and I’m not about that

✅ Turmeric (the smart kind) — formulated with a form that dramatically reduces liver risk compared to standard turmeric supplements

✅ Ingredients that are clinically shown to support hair growth — without the scary side effect profiles

This is not an ad. This is a dermatologist telling you what she actually takes.
