Lasers have become an essential tool in dermatology for a wide range of cosmetic and medical treatments. The word "laser" stands for "Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation", which refers to the way laser light is produced. Lasers emit a focused beam of light that can be used to target specific areas of the skin, making them highly effective for a variety of skin concerns. Join me this week on the podcast as I discuss lasers with Dr. Watchmaker, a board-certified dermatologist and laser expert!

If you've recently visited a dermatologist for a skin check, you might have seen us using a unique tool to examine your skin. It's not just any ordinary magnifying glass - it's a dermatoscope! By using a dermatoscope, dermatologists are able to identify skin cancers and other skin conditions more accurately, which can lead to more successful treatment outcomes. 
So, join me as I discuss with Dr. Fiessinger, the fascinating world of dermatoscopy and its important role in our skin health. If you’re curious about all things dermoscopy, you won't want to miss this episode.

Menopause is a word that used to induce fear and discomfort for many women, but it doesn't have to be that way. Finally people are starting to talk about the changes that occur during this time, and helping women recognize, prepare, and embrace this important stage in a woman's life. 
So what is menopause? Menopause is the 12 month period in a woman's life after her period has stopped. Peri-menopause is directly before this  and post-menopause is after the 12 month mark, and will last the rest of a woman's life.
Nowadays with life expectancy rates rising, it's quite possible that women may even spend more time in peri/menopause and post-menopausal states than pre-menopause. So let's take the time to learn and understand what's going on!
There are lots of changes going on in the body during menopause, and many reflected in the skin. This week on my podcast, I'm talking with Dr. Kemmy, a board-certified dermatologist and top selling author of 'LIVE & LOOK YOUNGER: A Dermatologist’s Guide to Youthful Skin and Ageless Beauty' who will help shed some light on the skin changes that occur during this stage of life, and how women can prepare and embrace these changes.

Real talk: everyone needs a skin care regimen, regardless of gender! While the basics may be similar for men and women, men have some unique skin cares due to thicker, more sebaceous (oily) skin with facial hair. And while men may be more hesitant to jump into a complicated skin care routine, the good news is that a simple routine will do just fine!
Check out my latest podcast all for men and their unique skin care needs!

Is it just me, or does everything seem to cost more and more each day?! And if you've paid for a prescription drug recently, the price may be exponentially higher than what you've paid in the past, even with generic drugs. When dermatologists saw the cost of some of our common, generic and compounded drugs rising several years ago, rather than just get upset, Dr. Bhanusali set out to change this. By teaming up with pharmacies and suppliers, Dr. Bhanusali has created a successful and efficient online pharmacy known as Skin Medicinals so that doctors can provide transparent and cost effective medications for our patients. No more surprise costs at the pharmacy, and in fact, no more driving to the pharmacy for patients. Much like you order items online with free home delivery, Skin Medicinals will deliver your prescription right to your door. Dr. Bhanusali has taken an outdated and archaic system and modernized it for today's patient.
Join me as I discuss with Dr. Bhanusali how his online pharmacy has become so successful and how doctors can and should be thought leaders in disrupting the practice of medicine, all for the betterment of patient care in this new millennium!
