My grandpa, who always wore sunscreen as soon as it came out, but he was already older, lost half his nose to skin cancer. My cousin, an OBGYN, developed a deadly melanoma that killed her uncle that she was lucky to catch before it spread. She’s a doctor but never thought about sunscreen. I thank Dr.Dray for making sunscreen interesting and attractive for people to encourage them to wear it. Through her I found more sunscreens I liked and *wanted* to wear. I am now teaching my daughter to wear it, despite objections from non-believers in the family, and I leverage Dr.Dray’s explanations all the time to justify it. So thank you Dr.Dray!
Non-believers? Do they not see the hyperpigmentation, sun damage and excessive wrinkles in aged skin? Sun screen can stave off aging and prevent disease. Why wouldn’t anyone want that?
@@21972012145525these people are everywhere. I personally know someone who aggressively spreads misinformation regarding sunscreens, causing skin cancer. You know their proofs? They used to apply sunscreens on a daily basis before discovering some eye - opening articles regarding correlation between sunscreen use and skin cancer formation. They quit their sunscreen cold - turkey, because "our skin needs to be trained to absorb the sunlight". Then they developed melanoma and and claimed that to be an accumulative sunscreen harm 🤦🏻♀️ (Apologies for my English, I'm not a native speaker)
I gift my daughters with sunscreen here and there under the guise of “let me know what you think of this, it’s all over RUclips”. ( Dr Dray🤫) Preaching doesn’t work so 🤞
As someone on a major weight loss journey, loose skin is a big concern of mine. This video was so very helpful to me in terms of realistic expectations. Thanks Dr. Dray!
Look in to skin brushing daily it is soooo effective. Start with soft body brush and work up to a hard brush to get the blood to flow into the loose skin.... Now will alll your loose go away probably not but it will be much improved for a 40-60 dollar brush.... It is also helpful to your Lymphatic system
Me too. Hopefully I can incorporate one of some of these mentioned and it works. I have not lost enough to have an issue but it is already showing on the face -- the jowls....ugh....is already very obviously sagging. Good luck to both of us!
I lost 130 lbs. I was heavy my whole life and I lost it in my 40’s. The most important thing is to continually remind yourself that you’re doing this for your health ! That will keep your head off swivel mode. Will you struggle sometimes? Sure! Cry it out if need be and get right on being positive. Don’t use a brush on your skin . Dr. Dray says that actually damages and making micro tearing in the skin. You are beautiful , strong and a warrior! Much love and prayers ❤️🙏🏻.
@@lovebythemoon5230 I am a Christian too. Our bodies our temples made by God can withstand alot more than you think. From the harshest of colds to the most brutal heat. But here you stand with your skin is so delicate don't brush your skin....Loose saggy skin needs blow flow to tighten it. How do you encourage blood flow to those areas with out surgery brushing. My skin glows and it is tight. I have been brushing for over a decade. The woman who does my facials says I am aging backwards. Research and learn about old world techniques before you give out nutty advice. To be honest Dray skin is not great by any stretch.
I paid $5,000 for 3 treatments of Mopheus 8 on my jowls and my neck and didn't notice any change. Many years ago, I had Radiofrequency on my face and didn't work to tighten skin and didn't work. The only treatment that works is the deep CO2 Laser which I had that done underneath my eyes and it tightened skin and still looks flawless. I'm saving for a face lift, I'm not going to waste any money on any other treatments anymore.
You said this at the end so I want to put it in the comments in case anybody misses it. Dr. Dray debunks the myth that intermittent fasting will get rid of saggy skin through autophagy. Thank you!
Dr.Dray is very wrong on autophagy and saggy skin. It depends on her definition of IF. If it's 18 hours if no eating, I agree, that won't work. But if you lose weight doing regular 42 hour fasts 3x a week, you will lose the weight plus the skin and the effect is even better if you add some dry fasting periods in there too. She's thin and doesn't treat obese patients. Dr. Boz has some videos on this showing photos of 50 pounds of weight loss with and without fasting and its a big difference.
@@Chris-oz9wxUnless Dr Fung has come up with a way to suspend gravity (which pulls the skin and underlying tissue down over time) then he is misleading you. intermittent fasting has benefits but it’s not going to negate skin laxity
@irisk934 Yah, that's pretty ridiculous, considering that autophagy doesn't even kick in until the body's glycogen stores are depleted on a fast. We generally have about 36 hours if glycogen stores in our muscle tissue. So, IF is way to short a fast AND autophagy wouldn't firm the skin anyway!
Considering a face-lift lasts around 10 years and what it costs (and IF you find the right surgeon), I'd rather spend the money with a monthly facial, neck, scalp massage especially to relax (TMJ, eye strain...) and do some lymphatic drainage. Maybe alternate with other modalities each season (LED, microneedling...). But honestly, sometimes, if your sagging is just due to aging, it's better to just pamper yourself and get someone to help you relax rather than going down the hamster wheel of surgery...
Absolutely! It does bother me sometimes but then I stop and tell myself that I had lovely smooth skin for decades and it’s all part of aging gracefully. Concentrating on mobility and mental fitness instead! 😀
Dr Dray, I have to tell you, you look the BEST in this video! Your makeup, luminous skin, hair up, the nice white zip-up...and most of all your expertise...you are ON FIRE! Thank you for your indepth knowledge, it is such a service to all of us striving to age up in the best way possible!
I have personally seen improvement in the underlying volume with facial exercise, but it takes as much consistency as regular exercise to be really effective.

Andrea, I’ve watched you for years now, and all your content is amazingly informative. I can’t help noticing your skin🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 you are glowing!! What exactly are you doing?
I prefer gua sha over any kind of facial massage, there's no pulling when the tool glides across the face and I can do it quickly when I'm in the shower and I've seen that there is a tightening effect, it's mild but it does make a difference, and my complexion looks much better. Retin A definitely helps my complexion and crows feet, there's been a huge effect on my skin, but definitely not so much on heavier sagging.
I did Sculptra. I had 4 treatments starting I believe in March. It’s kicked in. For me I think it was The best thing. I have a thin face. It’s subtle because the change does happen gradually. Just what I wanted.
Is it permanent? Or does it dissolve and need to keep being done? How long does it last? I'm guessing it's a filler, I think I heard of it, but didn't look into it too much.
I’m a 56 yr old guy. I’ve been very happy with the Inkey List products for the past several months. I could stand to lose 5-7 lbs though I’ve always been muscular from gym time . I had fatty liver disease and had to change my diet in order to get the liver healthy again. I had a bit too much sugar in my diet. The diet change caused quick weight loss and which in turn caused loose skin under my chin-the “turkey neck” thing. It bothers me so much that I’ve stopped socializing or even going out at much. Several yrs ago I did Sculptra. The results were nothing short of amazing. It caused a gradual filling in the cheeks, the temple areas, my skin looked years younger, healthy and “glowing”. The company claims that you can expect the results to last about 2 yrs and then you consider a second application in order to boost the collagen again. My face was plump and full for about 6 yrs but when it “deflated”, it did so very quickly. I’m doing another round in hopes that it can improve the loose neck area. I highly recommend Sculptra. Just make sure it’s an experienced doc. They have to be “artists” so to speak.
Facial yoga and facing tapping has improved my face. Been doing it neally everyday for a year, and my face is visably a lot more toned and less under chin sagging.
I am two years postpartum and I know a lot of mums would think I'm griping over nothing because my belly isn't as stretched/saggy as some, but I always had such nice skin, now it's really bumpy, uneven, purple, and just Ugh. So, I'm going to do something about it! Thank you for the info, Dr. Dray ❤ as usual lol!
I recommend the podcast Maintenance Phase if you’re a long time dieter or weight conscious person (i.e. a female in this world). Every episode they do a deep dive on a topic and expose how wrong/ridiculous/misleading it is. Looks of info exposing how pervasive fat phobia and fat biases are. It’s been very eye opening.
I'm currently using the faq 202 LED mask which uses red light, and I use microcurrent as well. I have seen a difference, but as you said it's really important to be consistent to see results.
That is exactly what confuses me: People using Botox to stop muscle movement so that wrinkles disappear and on the other side people doing face excercises. I wished there was more clearity what kind of exercise is harmful and what could help eventually.
Penn Smith Skincare and a friend of hers did micro-coring. She talks about it in her video and even more detailed blog (results they both saw, side effects, etc)
It helps more than any other treatment I've tried and without spending that money, in treatments that might work or not and if so you need to keep spending more and more ...and not with the same results that doing exercises
Dr. Dray….Thank you for all your skin care advise. You have saved me a lot of money recommending lower priced skincare that actually works. I have a very thin face with slight sagging. Proper placement of makeup works wonders to make the face appear fuller also.
My answer to my flabby arm muscles is to wear 3/4 length sleeves! Just started using hand weights and doing exercises to help in that area. PT gave me some good exercises. Hope it helps, but I know I have to be consistent for them to help.
@@fanboy9472 Well, happy to hear, but my blouses and tops go just to the elbow maybe a little higher, and aren’t ugly at all!! . But I’m hoping my strength training will help the situation and maybe one day I can wear sleeveless in the summer months, once in a while. I just need to have the discipline to do exercises everyday!
Never clicked so fast!☄️ Turned 50 last Sunday🧛🏻♀️. It's treti, electrostimulation device (Foreo🐻) + RF at the office periodically and a full life of ballet for me. It happens that I' ve been accidentally and unconsciously mewing/face yoging/whatever-they-wanna-label-it since I was 4 yo😅. IMHO, constant proprioception of posture from head to toe isometrically contracted from an early age is gonna contribute to keep firmness and overall health at long therm more than starting facial exercises for some minutes when sagginess has already entered the chat and then spending the rest of the day hunchbacking without paying attention. Many many thanks for the info about red light, Sculptra, ultrasounds and microcoring. I' ll have a conversation with my derm in September😉. 🧛🏻♀️🖤
Dr dray can you believe I just saw a TikTok saying there’s a new study showing SUN does not give you skin cancer but SUNSCREEN DOES???! I wish I would send you the TikTok can you please explain this theory 🤣🤣my bf sent it to me because I “use too much sunscreen” 😮😅
So appreciate this overview of what the options are and if they are effective. I just want to look my best. Not interested in surgery. Too many risks. Plus I've seen so many Hollywood people look plastic and some actually WORSE than they did before. 😮. Thank you!!!!😊
Will you please review / talk about more drug store hair care products ! With lots of fear mongering around lots of drugstore brands I would love to see your take on the new stuff!💕
Infrared light is said to be healthy. Especially near infrared light. Led masks are sold for better skins. What exactly do you mean by infrared radiation and how does it affect the skin according to clinical evidence?
Sculptra worked for me. Its important to go to someone who is very experienced because its long lasting. Its been very cost effective for me. A lot of dermatologists dont offer it but they usually know the best injector in the area. Its worth it to take your time to find a dr who loves it. Its not for everyone either. But if youve used fillers its worth exploring.
I would love your opinion on Growth Factors and Stem Factors topically. Do you think they are effective or not worth the money? I trust your opinion. Thank you Dr Dray!
That’s very useful. Thanks,Dr. dray! Can you introduce the face treatment particularly for the 30s? I am turning 30 this year. I felt my skin get little bit loose, and less collagens and I want to prevent saggy skin.
Have you done a video yet on SCLEROTHERAPY for spider veins? I can’t find one from you but would love to hear your opinion on it. Thanks for all your great content. ❤
@@itsagoodday2165 Hi! I just started and had two treatments. But they’re not all gone yet. How many treatments did you have? I don’t have them all over my legs, but, I do have quite a few. I didn’t know it would take several treatments. But this Dr says he can only do ‘so much’ at one time. Kind of ‘wondering’ if he’s just wanting to make more appts. so more $$$?
I know it’s anecdotal but I’m 44 and have become a fan of facial exercises (not message) to lift my face back up when it starts to fall because well, I had jowls and now I don’t. It works.
Face fitness really work without spending money in expensive treatments that long just for a shirt time. I'm doing it and notice much more than everything I've tried , if you are consistent.
Quick q - what about notable plastic surgeons like Dr karam here on RUclips who essentially say - there isn’t a procedure that’s going to work for sagging skin it’ll need to be. Facelift?
One thing that always bug me is: how am I supposed to maintain/improve bone density in the face?! It is not like you can do weight lifting with the face 😅 I have seem some people recommend body strength training/weight lifting to improve bone health in general, but I thought this type of effect was more localised, through the stimulation of the muscle contraction on the bone where it is attached to, so doing a bunch of bar presses for exemple would have no effect on the face... Or it is more like a systemic effect? Improving bone heath every where in the body, including the face?
Hi dr.Dr.! I wanted to say you look beautiful! Really adorable..I just don't remember you wearing makeup in other videos I've watches..not saying your not pretty without makeup..but your makeup really looks perfect on you!
A Power plate stimulates,contracts, and relaxes muscles that are attached to bone. Can it be beneficial to skin health, tightening, blood flow, conservation of facial bone etc. I use one at the gym every time I go there. I think it works…….at 68 my skin looks really good.
So crazy..I met the founder for Micro-couring at a skincare event and he was so humble. His friend found Retin A. So amazing. I think he also founded something else in the industry that removes fat or something. Really nice man
damn, i clicked on this video wanting to make my face look better. i've lost 170 pounds so far on my journey and it hurts to hear that nothing will work but probably better in the long run so that i'm not buying all these products and services thinking it will repair the damage only surgery could repair. Fav derm on youtube
Wow! 🎉That is wonderful! Congratulations on your weight loss! It is so darn hard to lose weight. I am only down 11 pounds, with 17 to go. You are inspiring! Way to go, from Arizona!!!🌵🌻💞🌷
I had micro coring done around the mouth. Not true that it’s only a 3 day recovery!!! There was a lot of swelling and bruising. Swelling was down after maybe a week. But Took weeks for the bruising to go away. Also the area has had a persistent pinkness, even months later. Also the skin seems to be drier, or the ability of the skin to hold onto moisture is worse. Never had that problem before in that area. I would be very wary of this procedure if anyone is considering it.
Dr. Dray are you using a bronzer or sunless tanner on you face? I have the same complexion as you do and would like to have a golden glow. I’m always told I need to get sun and people laugh that I wear sunscreen daily. I know I’m doing the right thing for my skin
Wow so many options 😮 to choose. The ultrasound really intrigued me but i guess maintenance is need (doing it again over some period of time ?). But sculptra sure is promising and long lasting (i don't know it myself but based on Doctor Andrea's sayings it is pretty good and last long time). It was really interesting today's video 😊❤ doctor Andrea.
I think Dr. Dray has found a special someone. I have noticed that she’s looking really good lately! Full of color and glowing!
I agree. The doc. has really up her game and looks fabulous!

I am two years postpartum and I know a lot of mums would think I'm griping over nothing because my belly isn't as stretched/saggy as some, but I always had such nice skin, now it's really bumpy, uneven, purple, and just Ugh.
So, I'm going to do something about it! Thank you for the info, Dr. Dray ❤ as usual lol!
I recommend the podcast Maintenance Phase if you’re a long time dieter or weight conscious person (i.e. a female in this world). Every episode they do a deep dive on a topic and expose how wrong/ridiculous/misleading it is. Looks of info exposing how pervasive fat phobia and fat biases are. It’s been very eye opening.
I'm currently using the faq 202 LED mask which uses red light, and I use microcurrent as well. I have seen a difference, but as you said it's really important to be consistent to see results.
what micro current do you use?
Staying hydrated is also very helpful to me.
How you come up with informative video everyday 😍😍I'm super impressed from your talent
Thank you so much 😀
i repeat "well hey guys" to myself more times than i'd like to admit
That is exactly what confuses me: People using Botox to stop muscle movement so that wrinkles disappear and on the other side people doing face excercises. I wished there was more clearity what kind of exercise is harmful and what could help eventually.
Face exercise done correctly, so that you don’t cause wrinkles while doing them, can be very effective. Consistency is key.
But how do I know if I do it correctly?
A facial exercise for a double chin made my chin and neck skin worse and loose when I didn't have the laxity before.
YOUR MAKE UP LOOKS AMAZING !!!! And great video as usual
Totally random…..Not sure what your doing -but you’re radiating and keep getting more and more beautiful with each video.
Penn Smith Skincare and a friend of hers did micro-coring. She talks about it in her video and even more detailed blog (results they both saw, side effects, etc)
I do facial exercises, I think that helps. I don't think I would ever have any kind of facial procedure. thank you for giving us other options.
It helps more than any other treatment I've tried and without spending that money, in treatments that might work or not and if so you need to keep spending more and more ...and not with the same results that doing exercises
what exercises do you do? what is your source?
@@mariasc5495 where did you learned those exercise?
Facercise by Carole Maggio
Dr. Dray….Thank you for all your skin care advise. You have saved me a lot of money recommending lower priced skincare that actually works. I have a very thin face with slight sagging. Proper placement of makeup works wonders to make the face appear fuller also.
My answer to my flabby arm muscles is to wear 3/4 length sleeves! Just started using hand weights and doing exercises to help in that area. PT gave me some good exercises. Hope it helps, but I know I have to be consistent for them to help.
Strength training helps a lot for such problems.
3/4th shirts are so ugly though :( I’m a guy so I can get away with boxier fits, helps get rid of the bat wings 🤣
@@fanboy9472 Well, happy to hear, but my blouses and tops go just to the elbow maybe a little higher, and aren’t ugly at all!! . But I’m hoping my strength training will help the situation and maybe one day I can wear sleeveless in the summer months, once in a while. I just need to have the discipline to do exercises everyday!
I was thinking about 3/4 shirts.
Dr. Dray!! Your makeup looks fantastic!! You look so pretty in this video.
Happy Wednesday, everyone! Have a beautiful day! Dr. Dray, I look forward to your videos every day. Thank you! 💗
Morning!
SO FUNNY . . . . . “Don’t get it twisted, it’s not gonna give you a facelift.” I laughed out loud‼️
Never clicked so fast!☄️ Turned 50 last Sunday🧛🏻♀️. It's treti, electrostimulation device (Foreo🐻) + RF at the office periodically and a full life of ballet for me. It happens that I' ve been accidentally and unconsciously mewing/face yoging/whatever-they-wanna-label-it since I was 4 yo😅. IMHO, constant proprioception of posture from head to toe isometrically contracted from an early age is gonna contribute to keep firmness and overall health at long therm more than starting facial exercises for some minutes when sagginess has already entered the chat and then spending the rest of the day hunchbacking without paying attention. Many many thanks for the info about red light, Sculptra, ultrasounds and microcoring. I' ll have a conversation with my derm in September😉. 🧛🏻♀️🖤
Sculptra.... interesting. Thank you. Jowls are a big concern. Thank you for everything you are sharing, Dr. Dray!!
Your skin & make up look SPECTACULAR!😎
Great, thorough information as always (btw, your makeup looks gorgeous)!
Dr dray can you believe I just saw a TikTok saying there’s a new study showing SUN does not give you skin cancer but SUNSCREEN DOES???! I wish I would send you the TikTok can you please explain this theory 🤣🤣my bf sent it to me because I “use too much sunscreen” 😮😅
Probably referring to the chemical sunscreens, not the mineral sunscreens.
Which I'm pretty sure has already been debunked by Dr Dray, Lab Muffin, Mo Skin Lab, The Eco Well, etc.
Please don't get info from tiktok...
So appreciate this overview of what the options are and if they are effective. I just want to look my best. Not interested in surgery. Too many risks. Plus I've seen so many Hollywood people look plastic and some actually WORSE than they did before. 😮.
Thank you!!!!😊
Absolutely 👍
Love your videos, love your honesty. You are my favorite person to watch on any social media platform. Great information always… thank you ❤
Will you please review / talk about more drug store hair care products ! With lots of fear mongering around lots of drugstore brands I would love to see your take on the new stuff!💕
Hello! If you don’t mind me asking Dr. ,what have you done different in your skincare? bc your skin looks flawless.
She has been wearing makeup lately.
Make up it makes such a difference
She doesn’t look as pale here. I figured self tanner.
Tinted sunscreen (drmtlgy universal tint spf 46).@@MR-fn7rw
Makeup
Ring light
Back warm lighting
Infrared light is said to be healthy. Especially near infrared light. Led masks are sold for better skins. What exactly do you mean by infrared radiation and how does it affect the skin according to clinical evidence?
Very realistic information! No non-sens! Finally
Sculptra worked for me. Its important to go to someone who is very experienced because its long lasting. Its been very cost effective for me. A lot of dermatologists dont offer it but they usually know the best injector in the area. Its worth it to take your time to find a dr who loves it. Its not for everyone either. But if youve used fillers its worth exploring.
Skin brushing with hard horse hair brush it takes time to work up to it but I have had so much success with hard brush skin brushes....
I would love your opinion on Growth Factors and Stem Factors topically. Do you think they are effective or not worth the money? I trust your opinion. Thank you Dr Dray!
Dr Dray has a few videos on these.
Dr. Dray, is there any risk in using cheaper red light therapy masks compared to more expensive brands?
These makeup colors look so pretty on you!
Great, helpful video Dr Dray. Have a wonderful day.
Happy Wednesday Dr Dray so excited to be here I live for this ❤️
Morning!
Greetings David Shabas hope u r well n Happy Wednesday😀👍💜….

@@whitneybrown4067happy Wednesday Whitney 👍
Dr Dray is looking good!
That’s very useful. Thanks,Dr. dray!
Can you introduce the face treatment particularly for the 30s?
I am turning 30 this year. I felt my skin get little bit loose, and less collagens and I want to prevent saggy skin.
❤
You're doomed. Gravity wins over time and 30 years is a lot of time. Just kidding
What timing! I just had SYLFIRM X done to my face this past Monday. I’ll watch this video later today.
Thanks for your honesty. BTW, you look great in this video!
Have you heard of Lanluma? I've heard it's better than sculptra
Have you done a video yet on SCLEROTHERAPY for spider veins? I can’t find one from you but would love to hear your opinion on it. Thanks for all your great content. ❤
Check out her video on leg vein removal as she goes over it in that one (and probably some older ones).
I’ve done sclerotherapy for spider veins on my legs and was very pleased with the results.
I have done it many times and works like magic.
@@Katepwe and @itsagoodday2165 Thanks! Do you remember what sclerosing agent they used? I’ve heard some are really painful.
@@itsagoodday2165 Hi! I just started and had two treatments. But they’re not all gone yet. How many treatments did you have? I don’t have them all over my legs, but, I do have quite a few. I didn’t know it would take several treatments. But this Dr says he can only do ‘so much’ at one time. Kind of ‘wondering’ if he’s just wanting to make more appts. so more $$$?
Wow these warm colors in your makeup today look sooooo complementary with your skin! 😍 stunning
Thank you for all the information!,it was very informative!,you look beautiful!
I know it’s anecdotal but I’m 44 and have become a fan of facial exercises (not message) to lift my face back up when it starts to fall because well, I had jowls and now I don’t. It works.
Wow, what a Great, Timely and Informative video! Thank you so much!
Thanks so much for the info Doc, love the top bun!
Face fitness really work without spending money in expensive treatments that long just for a shirt time. I'm doing it and notice much more than everything I've tried , if you are consistent.
from where did you learned it? my faced drooped when i turned 29 and hollow eyes as well, it hurts🤧
Quick q - what about notable plastic surgeons like Dr karam here on RUclips who essentially say - there isn’t a procedure that’s going to work for sagging skin it’ll need to be. Facelift?
Good Morning Dr Dray ❤ Happy Wednesday!
Morning!
One thing that always bug me is: how am I supposed to maintain/improve bone density in the face?! It is not like you can do weight lifting with the face 😅 I have seem some people recommend body strength training/weight lifting to improve bone health in general, but I thought this type of effect was more localised, through the stimulation of the muscle contraction on the bone where it is attached to, so doing a bunch of bar presses for exemple would have no effect on the face... Or it is more like a systemic effect? Improving bone heath every where in the body, including the face?
Hi dr.Dr.! I wanted to say you look beautiful! Really adorable..I just don't remember you wearing makeup in other videos I've watches..not saying your not pretty without makeup..but your makeup really looks perfect on you!
All the influencers seem to be reviewing the Nira device lately. Could you comment on it?
There's one cosmetic dermatologist who's commented on it, Davin Lim.
Dr Dray u have such subtle makeup on and u look beautiful...ur skin is just radiant ❤
A Power plate stimulates,contracts, and relaxes muscles that are attached to bone. Can it be beneficial to skin health, tightening, blood flow, conservation of facial bone etc. I use one at the gym every time I go there. I think it works…….at 68 my skin looks really good.
My husband got torn retinas after using a power plate
@@Moonshinebaby1000 so so sorry , is he ok?, I am shocked, had no idea that something like that can happen. Thanks for the heads up.
So crazy..I met the founder for Micro-couring at a skincare event and he was so humble. His friend found Retin A. So amazing. I think he also founded something else in the industry that removes fat or something. Really nice man
And Radiesse, what's your opinion? Thanks
Good for her 🎉 Loving and being loved is awesome!
Grapeseed oil from NOW brand helped my saggy chin skin after losing 90 lbs. I applied it for about 10 months and it really helped.
Sculptra is pretty good. Definitely firms skin
I love your videos because you provide a very good information. Thank you
damn, i clicked on this video wanting to make my face look better. i've lost 170 pounds so far on my journey and it hurts to hear that nothing will work but probably better in the long run so that i'm not buying all these products and services thinking it will repair the damage only surgery could repair. Fav derm on youtube
Wow! 🎉That is wonderful! Congratulations on your weight loss! It is so darn hard to lose weight. I am only down 11 pounds, with 17 to go. You are inspiring! Way to go, from Arizona!!!🌵🌻💞🌷
LOVE that Lip Color!💄
Stop smiling too just stay stoic looking from what ive seen on another vidio not sure who made it but makes sense.
What about HiFu and thermage? Are they the best non-surgical skin-sagging treatment on the market? What to consider when doing it?
When at my age I am 70 doing my massage daily the microcurrent and my home and skincare products I think I'm doing very good without injections
dr dray can I use the caffeine solution from the ordinary on the scalp
Consistency if the key to everything!
Dr Ben talei says that sculptra creates scar tissue not real collagen,but there is plumping effect. Just we need to set expectations right.
Very informative information! Thank you, Dr. Dray!
I had micro coring done around the mouth. Not true that it’s only a 3 day recovery!!! There was a lot of swelling and bruising. Swelling was down after maybe a week. But Took weeks for the bruising to go away. Also the area has had a persistent pinkness, even months later. Also the skin seems to be drier, or the ability of the skin to hold onto moisture is worse. Never had that problem before in that area. I would be very wary of this procedure if anyone is considering it.
I recommend RBF! Seriously, I have RBF and no wrinkles. 😊
What is RBF
Dr. Dray are you using a bronzer or sunless tanner on you face? I have the same complexion as you do and would like to have a golden glow. I’m always told I need to get sun and people laugh that I wear sunscreen daily. I know I’m doing the right thing for my skin
Hi Dr. Dray, always good information. BTW, you look lovely in this video.
Wow so many options 😮 to choose. The ultrasound really intrigued me but i guess maintenance is need (doing it again over some period of time ?). But sculptra sure is promising and long lasting (i don't know it myself but based on Doctor Andrea's sayings it is pretty good and last long time). It was really interesting today's video 😊❤ doctor Andrea.
