The truth behind Botox® alternatives

By: Dr. Corey Hartman, Skin Wellness Dermatology You know Botox® is the gold standard for treating wrinkles and facial creases, but maybe due to financial reasons or the fact that you simply aren’t prepared for injectables, you’re just not ready to take the leap.  When Botox is the best solution to improve my patient’s concerns, but they aren’t quite ready, they often ask me about the best alternatives. But are there any true alternatives to Botox? Are there any good alternatives to Botox? I’ll say this in the beginning. There aren’t any real alternatives to Botox. There are things you can do that might help to prevent wrinkles, but as far as giving the same treatment, it just doesn’t exist. There’s nothing else like it, …

Controlled Injury: Here’s what it really means, and how you can benefit from it

By: Dr. Corey Hartman, Skin Wellness Dermatology Microneedling, lasers, chemical peels, you name it. As a dermatologist, just about every cosmetic treatment I do besides injectables is considered “controlled injury.”  But what’s the real meaning of this buzzword? Is there science behind it?

This …

Cheap Botox® and fillers: Four signs you should go elsewhere for your injectables

By: Dr. Corey Hartman, Skin Wellness Dermatology These days, you can get your Botox® and fillers just about anywhere. The salon, the dentist, the spa. Just about everyone is offering injectables, and some even claim to have the ability to offer you a “discount” price.  Of course, cheap prices on injectables can be tempting, but just remember, when you pay for Botox or fillers, you’re not only paying for the actual product, but the experience of the injector. If the price is too low, then it’s possible neither may be any good.  Cheap injectables and why you should think twice Those tempted by the deals on Groupon and other places don’t often understand the risks they’re taking. But the reality is, some of these places …

Ditch the jeans! Discover sclerotherapy for spider vein treatment

By: Dr. Corey Hartman, Skin Wellness Dermatology Many patients look down one day and realize their legs are starting to look a lot like their mother’s. They start to notice the veins on their legs becoming more visible, and for some, this can be extremely bothersome. While in many cases, the exact cause of spider veins is unknown, what we do know is that heredity, and even trauma, obesity, and hormone levels can play a role. Especially if you’re pregnant or over the age of 30, it’s likely that you’re starting to notice these veins more and more.  Fortunately, even though we can’t change your genes, we do have some pretty great treatment options to help you get those spider veins under control.

My best advice for building a solid anti-aging skincare regimen

By: Dr. Corey Hartman, Skin Wellness Dermatology If you know me at all, you know I’m a skin minimalist, and that’s why I have two goals when it comes to creating an anti-aging skincare regimen for my patients.  Goal #1: Make it effective. Goal #2: Keep it simple. Let’s face it, nobody has time for a 30-minute skincare routine before they go to bed, and most would agree that taking the time to apply five different products layer by layer is less than ideal.  That’s why everyone needs a simple routine – one they can do consistently, because that’s ultimately what is going to really make a difference in their skin. The only three products you need to build a solid anti-aging skincare regimen #1 …
