0:31
Hello everyone, and welcome to the Doctor Randy show.
0:35
We are thrilled to have Doctor Doris Day, world renowned
0:38
dermatologist on the show today. And Doctor Doris Day is the
0:43
founder of Doctor Doris Day, MD. We're thrilled to have her here.
0:47
She has been featured on the Today Show, Good Morning
0:50
America, The Doctor Oz Show and so much more.
0:54
So today she's going to share with us the technology and
0:57
innovation that has LED her to her practice and her techniques,
1:01
and she's going to share all of that with us and more.
1:04
So, Doctor Dave, if you don't mind, share a little bit about
1:07
your background with us before we get started.
1:10
Thank you so much for having me. I come from a family of
1:13
physicians and my dad was the old school, old time physician
1:18
who studied all of the medicine in a very holistic way.
1:21
So even though he was trained in western medicine, he really
1:24
understood and always told me growing up that we should all
1:28
die young at an old age. He also really cared about
1:32
appearance and overall health and taught me so much about how
1:36
much food effects our health, how much exercise effects our
1:39
health. And he looked even at skin care
1:41
and products and supplements. So I had I always looked at
1:45
myself as his youngest apprentice.
1:47
And one of the biggest disappointments that I think he
1:51
had in me was when I graduated college and I did my pre Med
1:55
before I went to medical school, I went to journalism school to
1:59
be a medical reporter. And he always said this is the
2:01
biggest mistake of your life. You're never going to be a
2:03
doctor. And he was really concerned that
2:05
I would give up my dream of becoming a physician.
2:08
But actually, that part of my career was probably one of the
2:13
most helpful because it helped me understand that when you
2:17
interview people, when you learn about what drives them and makes
2:20
them come into your office and what's motivating them to make
2:23
the changes in their life, you can impact them in a way that's
2:27
very different than you learn in medical school and that you
2:30
learn through just basic structure, function and devices
2:33
and treatments of the skin. So I put it all together as
2:37
understanding that patients come in and they have their why.
2:40
Why are you here? Why now and what can I do for
2:44
you that's going to have an impact?
2:46
And it's not just simply that I'm going to do something for
2:49
them that will change their appearance or affect their
2:52
appearance, but I want them to not just look better, but to be
2:55
better. And to do that, you have to
2:57
bring in what goes beyond the surface and impact them in a
3:01
very holistic and complete way. And those relationships build
3:06
and they last and they are very meaningful and they're very
3:09
rewarding to me as a physician as well.
3:12
I love that doctor day because it shows that you care more
3:16
about what's beyond the surface, what's going to keep that glow
3:20
going. Because as we've found all of
3:24
the cosmetic treatments in the world, all of the makeup in the
3:27
world, if we don't take care of ourselves on the inside, it
3:30
shows on the outside. And you have that natural glow
3:33
about you. So it's evident that you take
3:34
care of yourself. And then when you do, it's
3:37
easier to spread that to your patients, share it with your
3:40
patients. When you walk the talk, right
3:43
and you live that, you probably eat right, you probably
3:46
exercise, you take care of yourself, and it's much easier
3:48
for you to share that with them. And so how do you think that you
3:52
get that messaging across to them and make it make a
3:54
difference versus them just coming in for a quick fix?
3:57
How do you approach that differently than other
4:00
physicians? I start with understanding that
4:03
we all have beauty and my job is to help them see their beauty
4:07
and then help enhance and celebrate it.
4:10
So when they come in and they look in the mirror and they
4:12
start to criticize, I dial it back and I say, but what do we
4:16
love about your looks? What do you love about yourself?
4:18
What's your hero feature? And we start to look at, is it
4:21
your eye color, the shape of your eyes, the way your hair
4:23
frames your face? Is it your jawline, your bone
4:25
structure? And everybody starts to see
4:28
things that they like about themselves, not what they don't
4:30
like. And then we say, OK, these are
4:33
your hero features. And some things that they
4:35
complain about that they don't like.
4:36
I show them how that makes them uniquely beautiful.
4:39
It's not a detractor of their beauty, but it's actually an
4:43
enhancement of their beauty and it's what people love about
4:45
them. And then we talk about the areas
4:48
that are either needing a little bit of support to enhance those
4:52
features or areas that we can address to make a change.
4:56
And then the other thing that I think really helps is that if
5:00
you listen to patients when they come in, what they choose to
5:03
tell you tells you so much about them.
5:06
And a lot of times I'm just simply a mirror.
5:09
And what I do is I reflect back what they tell me, but in a more
5:13
positive and comfortable way so that they feel comfortable with
5:17
me. It builds trust and they get
5:20
that I'm listening to them and I can help them and be their best
5:24
cheerleader. So I have to be able to take
5:27
care of them them, keep them safe, help them age beautifully
5:31
and truly gracefully, not helplessly.
5:33
And then be their cheerleader and give them permission to go
5:37
after the things in their life that they want to achieve.
5:41
Whether it's a relationship or an event or if it's a job
5:44
interview or a date or whatever it is that they're sharing with
5:47
me. I'm there to give them that
5:49
support and encouragement to go for those things and to feel
5:53
really good about it so that they already feel like they've
5:55
achieved it even before they left my office.
5:59
So I'm smiling because I think, you know, what I'm hearing is
6:05
what we all dream of from our doctors, right?
6:08
And I think that because you've obviously set yourself apart
6:12
from so many, but this is 1% of the population, right?
6:16
We hear what's happening in the world of medical insurance and
6:20
having to see 60 patients a day. And so that level of care
6:24
becomes unavailable anymore. But you really have a different
6:29
touch and a different way of approaching the patient care.
6:33
And I'm smiling because hearing that gives us hope that there
6:36
are doctors that still really care and really want to take
6:41
that patient care to the next level.
6:43
And it's wonderful hear you say that and so great that our
6:46
listeners and our viewers are here to experience that.
6:49
So one of the things that I'd love to talk to you about
6:53
because I've, I heard you talk about it a little bit and I know
6:57
there's been a lot of press about it.
6:59
You do have a specific technique.
7:01
You know, our show talks about a lot of technology and innovation
7:05
and you have a technique that you use with filler, which I
7:08
think is amazing. I think that until the age where
7:12
we do wind up finally going and having surgery, I think that
7:16
filler does fill the gap for us and, and has a great place for
7:21
us. And I'd love to talk to you
7:23
about that technique that you use.
7:25
My filler technique has evolved over 20 years because I was
7:30
lucky enough to have started my practice before we had any
7:34
hyaluronic acid fillers. We just basically had animal
7:37
based collagen that we have to do skin testing for and then
7:40
repeat the testing and they would erase lines for a few
7:43
months at best. And that was what we had.
7:45
That evolved to a more human form of collagen that we didn't
7:48
have to pre test for. But again, it was just for a few
7:51
months and it was really just filling in lines mostly around
7:54
the mouth and the nasalabial folds, these lines here.
7:57
So once wrestling came to the market, I got to be one of the
8:01
investigators for the clinical trials for that.
8:04
So I got to see one how it works and also to use it even before
8:09
it came to market and to watch how it aged over time.
8:13
And one of the things that I learned about fillers as new
8:15
ones trickled in is that fillers have very specific properties
8:19
and you need to understand the properties of each and every
8:23
filler, where it best, how to inject it, which plane of the
8:27
skin and even whether to use a needle or a cannula.
8:31
Some things you need less of and some things you need more of.
8:34
And all of those factors together.
8:36
As we understood both the filler properties when you first put
8:40
them in, once they settle in and then how they break down over
8:44
time and learning that fillers don't break down when the study
8:47
ends. Sometimes they last for months
8:49
to years longer. And then the other thing that we
8:53
learned about over the next decades as we did more and more
8:57
of the non invasive or non surgical approaches is that
9:01
facial anatomy is very different when you're looking at it non
9:05
surgically versus surgically. So surgeons are looking to what
9:09
they have to cut, to redrape. We look at it as how to create
9:13
balance and optical lifts if not actual lifts.
9:18
And what I've learned is that you don't chase lines, you
9:21
understand them. So, for example, somebody who
9:25
has upper lip lines, if you study how they move and talk,
9:29
look at their teeth, look at the jaw anatomy.
9:32
Almost all women who have a lot of upper lip lines have a little
9:36
protrusion of the upper teeth over the lower teeth.
9:39
And the lower lip has lost volume and the chin has receded.
9:43
The jawline shrinks and recedes. And so the loss of volume in the
9:47
chin and the lower lip and the relative protrusion of the upper
9:51
teeth, every time they close their mouth, they pucker just a
9:54
little bit, which makes upper lip lines.
9:56
Now if you chase those lines, and if you do it even worse with
9:59
a filler that's too stiff, now you've added bulk and weight to
10:03
the upper lip, so it makes it longer and stiffer and it looks
10:07
very unnatural. But if you take a softer filler
10:11
and go underneath to give support, then you use a
10:14
different one to add a little bit of volume back to the lower
10:17
lip and you rebalance the chin. Now you've helped the whole area
10:22
look more youthful. They look authentically
10:25
themselves. You've supported that movement,
10:27
and you've taken away the lines without adding weight or bulk or
10:32
volume. And they look so much better.
10:34
But it's much easier to just fill a line than it is to
10:38
research and understand and study it and say, where is this
10:41
line coming from? Same thing with marionette
10:44
lines. You can fill the line, but
10:46
you'll look like you haven't had a line filled, and sometimes
10:49
even like a chipmunk. But what I've learned is that
10:51
line is like a pleat, and the pleat is from underneath the
10:55
chin at the bottom of the pleat. And when I support there, half
10:59
of the line goes away without putting any filler in the line.
11:03
And then I just blend that zone. So it comes from having done
11:07
treatments, seeing what I get when I do the treatment, and
11:11
understanding what fillers can and cannot do.
11:13
When you put a filler in the cheek, one is it's going to last
11:16
a lot longer than filler in the lower face. 2 is if you go
11:20
higher, you might make it narrower.
11:21
If you go lower, you're going to make it wider.
11:23
And if you put it a little bit into the temple, you can get a
11:26
bit of a sneaky lift. So everything I've said takes a
11:29
lot more filler than just filling a line, and it's
11:32
injecting a lot more places than just filling a line.
11:36
So you're using more product, but you never see the product.
11:39
The person looks better, they look more authentic, more
11:42
natural, but they don't look like they've had filler.
11:46
My job is to be invisible, and my job for you is to make you
11:50
look better. And that's such a perfect way to
11:53
describe it. I agree with you.
11:55
I think that the job of the injector is to make us look like
11:59
we don't have filler. But I'm sure that you have seen
12:02
some trends over the last few years where people really love
12:05
to overdo it and they go in asking for that look.
12:09
So that brings me to a question because I'm a person who doesn't
12:14
like to look like I have filler, even though maybe it takes 6
12:17
syringes, right? But at the same time, I want to
12:20
look like I'm not filled up. But what do you say to a new
12:26
patient that comes in that says I want 2 syringes in my lips,
12:31
right? And I want another four in my
12:34
cheeks and you know what that's going to look like and you know
12:37
the technique. So what do you say to that
12:39
patient that wants that super exaggerated look?
12:42
How do you talk to them? Well, I've been very lucky and I
12:45
think my social media has helped me a lot in this regard in that
12:49
I don't have patience, whoever asked for that because that's
12:53
not the audience that I attract. My referrals, I don't advertise.
12:57
My referrals come from patients and patient referrals and word
13:01
of mouth and my social media. And anybody who hears me talk
13:05
will know that's not the look that I do.
13:07
And I think people who really want that much are not even
13:11
necessarily going to physicians. A lot of times they're just
13:14
going to an injector who tells them that's what they can do and
13:17
that looks good and people lose perception of what they're
13:21
getting done. A lot of patients that I have
13:23
that are overfilled, they don't necessarily see it themselves.
13:27
It's a friend or someone else who tells them.
13:29
And it's really not until I help rebalance and recalibrate their
13:35
face that they start to see the difference.
13:37
I have someone recently I saw who had really massive jaws, so
13:41
overgrown masseters, plus filler and very big cheeks.
13:45
And she's a beautiful woman. But it was, and then her temples
13:49
were hollowed. So somebody just, she kept
13:51
saying, I want to lift. Someone just kept putting it
13:53
there. And then I saw her back and her
13:55
friend was with her and said, Oh my God, I'm so happy that you're
13:59
rebalancing because she looks like herself again.
14:01
And she looks so beautiful and she is so beautiful.
14:04
There's a lot of people, there's so many of us who are not in the
14:08
same office. I have colleagues that I talk
14:09
with all over the world, whether it's by Zoom calls or at
14:13
meetings that we see each other. And I'm so impressed and happy
14:17
and relieved in many ways. And I feel validated that so
14:20
many of us are on this same path.
14:22
We talk and we're like, yes, I do that too.
14:24
We all are saying that we're learning the same lessons even
14:28
though we're not together. So I think that this is a trend
14:32
of physicians who do a lot of and who understand aesthetics
14:35
and who understand and study aging and continue to have great
14:39
respect for both the products and our patients to not fall
14:45
into that trap of doing what the patient asks for.
14:48
And the way I see it is that if a patient comes in and they ask
14:52
me for something, they're not telling me what they want me to
14:55
do. So if someone says I don't like
14:57
my nasalabial fold, they're not saying fill it.
15:00
They're saying that's what they're seeing.
15:02
But if I explain to them that it's from the volume loss of the
15:05
side of the face, and if I can rebalance here and then use a
15:08
device to improve the collagen and then use skin care or a
15:11
laser to help improve their overall skin quality, that's
15:15
going to look better, more balanced and more In Sync with
15:19
their face. Then I'll get them to where they
15:21
want to go. But how do they know to ask me
15:24
for those things? So just because a patient says I
15:27
see this and this bothers me, it doesn't mean that's what I have
15:31
to inject into or affect directly right away necessarily,
15:36
but I do need to make it look better ultimately.
15:39
And, and I do agree with you that sometimes we don't see what
15:43
we look like. We look in a mirror, but
15:45
sometimes we're not really seeing what the rest of the
15:47
world is seeing. I remember a time in my life
15:50
where I was overfilled, right? And I remember sitting at my
15:54
kitchen counter talking to my mom.
15:56
She's on the other side of the counter and we're just talking.
15:59
And she just said to me, you have too much filler in your
16:02
face. And, and you just gasp, right?
16:04
And and she was right because there's a period I look back and
16:09
I look at photos and I had like big chipmunk cheeks and it was
16:13
like coming up under my eyes and I would smile and I would have
16:17
it was very small. But in that moment, you don't
16:19
even. Really see it, right?
16:21
You don't see it. You need someone else to tell
16:23
you, and you need a trusted physician to be able to do a
16:26
proper assessment and guide you. And fillers alone, There's no
16:30
one thing alone that's going to do everything.
16:32
Fillers can't do everything. Neuromodulators can't do
16:35
everything. That's why we also have devices.
16:37
Some people need laser resurfacing, some people need
16:40
skin tightening and lifting, some people need surgery.
16:44
Everybody needs skin care and most people need diet and
16:48
exercise advice. So there's so many layers to
16:51
what we need to do to help people and go in that right
16:54
direction. Sure.
16:56
So on that topic of other technologies, so in conjunction
17:02
with what you're doing with filler, which is turning heads,
17:05
it's making a difference. What are your favorite
17:08
technologies that you use in your clinic?
17:12
For skin care, I've really adapted a lot in terms of
17:16
exosomes and good quality moisturizers, hydrators,
17:20
retinol. I'm going away more from
17:22
prescription retinols to more over the counter or
17:25
cosmoseutical versions of it because I think too much of A
17:29
retinoic acid, the active form on older skin can thin and
17:33
breakdown the collagen layers, so I mix it up a little bit.
17:37
But I think a good skin care routine is really important.
17:41
I do think laser resurfacing is critical.
17:43
I love my Ultra Pulse Alpha for the face that helps with the
17:47
vertical lines, the distress skin that comes really just from
17:51
too much sun and too much repetitive motion that fillers
17:54
are not going to address That. And the M Jewel, which is the
17:58
Moxie BBL, it's broadband light for the neck and chest is a
18:02
miracle product. It's crazy.
18:04
I did it for mine and then I bought it because I was like it
18:06
cleared up my chest in just a few visits and it stayed good.
18:09
And I and it's so gentle on that area.
18:12
So I can do CO2 on the neck and chest, but the Moxie BBL is so
18:16
much gentler and it's just such a smart device because the tip
18:19
stays cool. And a lot of the other IPL
18:22
devices are broadband like devices.
18:23
The tip doesn't stay cool the whole time that you do it.
18:26
So it's fast, but it's super easy.
18:29
So it's just such a great device and I research everything before
18:31
I buy it and I pay for everything I have.
18:33
And then my other favorite one that I do for myself every six
18:36
months, and I love it for my patients who are young, who
18:39
think they need Botox, but they really need preventative is soft
18:42
wave. And what I love about soft Wave
18:45
is that it has its synchronous parallel layers of ultrasound
18:49
energy and it doesn't cause micro scarring, doesn't cause
18:53
fat loss under the skin. It really does stimulate and
18:57
improve skin quality. So when you're young, in your
18:59
30s, you do it once a year just to help keep that collagen
19:03
building because you've already done some destruction because
19:05
everybody goes outdoors and they get too much sun and don't use
19:07
enough sunscreen and they drink and they stress and they do all
19:10
things that 20 and 30 year olds do.
19:12
But when you started at that age when you can still build really
19:15
good collagen, you're doing a lot to get yourself on that up
19:19
ramp. So as you start, it's like
19:21
bicycling downhill. You go faster so that as you hit
19:23
that hill and you're going uphill, you have some momentum.
19:26
So it's giving you that momentum to go into that aging process
19:30
better and more useful. And then in your 40s and 50s and
19:33
up, I like it twice a year for two to three or four times
19:37
depending on where you're at, and then once every 10 or 11
19:40
months. And it really helps skin
19:42
quality. And I'm so pleased.
19:44
And I was a little surprised in the beginning, but now it's just
19:47
normal that people come back and they go, this really works.
19:51
I haven't done anything that does for me what this does.
19:53
And they see an improvement in their skin quality.
19:56
Even people I've tried to talk out of it because I think they
19:58
need surgery or they're older and I don't think it's going to
20:00
do enough. They're happy too, but it
20:03
doesn't replace neuromodulators and it doesn't replace fillers.
20:06
So someone who thinks they can just do that one thing and get
20:09
everything out of it, it's not the case.
20:12
If you're going to do one thing, do skin care and wear mascara,
20:15
make your eyes look bigger, and have your skin look good and
20:19
hydrated. Those are the two things to
20:21
start with. They don't cost a lot of money
20:22
necessarily. You can get great drugstore
20:24
products. If you're going to build on it,
20:26
then you can add some neuromodulators if you have that
20:29
animated movement that's starting to leave a line at rest
20:34
if you're losing some volume. Generally you can very slowly
20:38
start little by little, adding a little bit of filler, but it
20:41
assimilate, let it settle, come back and do a little bit more
20:45
and build on it, but very slowly and very little.
20:48
And everybody's different, left and right side of the face are
20:51
different. You need to be assessed properly
20:54
so that you can create a plan and envision.
20:57
And one thing we do here is for every single patient, we make a
21:00
calendar. So when they come in, we talk
21:03
through, we have an assessment and then my medical assistant
21:07
will write out a calendar. So it sounds like a lot of words
21:10
and a lot of stuff in one visit, but when you look in the
21:12
calendar, it's a visit every few months and it's one thing at a
21:16
time and it's not a lot and it's much more manageable.
21:19
So we can say, Oh yeah, you need devices and you need laser
21:22
resurfacing and you need Neuromodulator, need some
21:25
filler. And that sounds like a lot, but
21:27
the filler could be every six months to a year and less often
21:30
when you're optimized. Neuromodulator is every three to
21:33
five months, depending on which one we do.
21:35
The soft wave is twice a year and then once a year after that.
21:38
So it's that you're visiting every so often and every time
21:42
you get something a little different and it's not a lot at
21:45
once at any time, and it never adds up to a facelift.
21:49
And you don't have to wait to fall apart to have everything re
21:53
draped. And if you've already had a
21:55
facelift, this helps maintain it so you'll never need another one
21:59
or it'll delay it a lot. Yeah, it's interesting.
22:02
I think that there is a myth out there that once you have a
22:05
facelift, you're done, right? And you don't have to go in and
22:09
have your filler and worry about having the treatments.
22:12
But that's not true. There's maintenance on the
22:14
facelift, right? Because gravity keeps coming for
22:17
everyone, right? So well.
22:19
Also skin quality. If you have bad skin quality and
22:22
paper thin skin, then a facelift will make you look less saggy,
22:27
but not more youthful and not necessarily prettier.
22:30
You have to improve skin quality and that's what soft wave and
22:33
the devices and even fillers can do.
22:35
And unless you get fat transfer, a facelift doesn't really add
22:39
back volume. It can reposition in someone who
22:41
has volume. But if you're very thin, a
22:43
facelift can make you look older because now you're a little bit
22:46
more skeletonized looking. And then we just can't forget
22:49
the neck. The neck is an area that I
22:51
really focus on as well and it's such a difficult area to treat.
22:54
But now we're doing lasers and fillers in the neck as well and
22:57
certainly neuromodulators there now.
22:59
I think Botox just got FDA approved there.
23:01
So we have unlabeled lots of products and things we can do
23:05
for the neck as well. Yeah, the neck is a scary area.
23:09
It's like the first thing that you notice, and I don't even
23:11
think we notice it looking in the mirror.
23:13
You know what happens? You see a picture of your photo
23:17
of yourself or yes on and you're like, wait, is that my neck?
23:21
I know. That's why I tell all my young
23:24
patients neck before the face and always go in an upward
23:28
direction. So you get the bottom of your
23:29
neck because that's the part the sun hits first and your chin
23:32
protects right under, so you want to go below that.
23:34
But yeah, it's all about the neck protecting the neck from
23:37
sun. It should never see the light of
23:39
day. And it's just not something when
23:41
we slide their sunscreen on, we just happen to hit the face and
23:44
we don't think about it until someday somebody shows you a
23:47
picture at a funny angle and you're like.
23:49
I know. It's great to see that we're
23:52
developing different care for that area.
23:55
I think that is necessary. I think the under eyes and the
23:58
neck are the 1st that we notice. So what would you say to if
24:02
somebody comes into your office for the first time and maybe
24:06
they're between 35 and 40 years old and they're visiting you for
24:10
the first time, they've really just done basic skin care, but
24:14
they're starting to notice the signs of aging.
24:17
And what would be your first recommendation to them?
24:21
Well, I have a conversation to watch how they naturally
24:25
animate, and when you talk to somebody, there's a few
24:28
different ways that we move. One is your resting face is
24:32
actually an animation in and of itself because you're using
24:35
muscles to hold your face in that resting position, and you
24:38
can tell a lot about which side is stronger.
24:41
Most of us have one side of the face stronger than the other.
24:44
So I can already start to see slight differences in the brow
24:47
positioning, the eye shape, which side of the mouth is
24:51
stronger, which nasal labial fold is a little bit deeper, and
24:54
usually it's deeper on the stronger side of the face that
24:57
moves more. So I'll start to notice just
24:59
their facial posture and body posture at rest just from
25:03
walking in the room. Then when they start to
25:05
naturally animate, that's also very important because if
25:09
somebody naturally animates and they're always raising their
25:11
brow to naturally animate, then I can see that already their
25:15
brow is getting weaker or their lids are getting heavier.
25:18
And we're going to have to do more than if they don't
25:20
naturally animate their brow. Because once you want to start
25:23
looking alert, some people talk like this to show that they're
25:26
alert. I've learned to lift my ears
25:28
instead. So I don't do that, but I try to
25:30
teach them how to do that if that's the case.
25:33
And then I look at them as I ask them to animate on command.
25:37
That's the least important because you can naturally
25:40
animate and be very asymmetric. But when you animate on command,
25:44
when someone says raise your brows, most people can raise
25:47
their brows evenly. So you can miss a weakness of a
25:50
brow. And oftentimes people will come
25:53
in and they said, Yep, I had Botox and I had a brow group and
25:56
I'll know exactly which side it was without asking them to
25:59
animate on command, just by watching them talk because I can
26:02
see side moves naturally in their natural animation more
26:07
rather than on command. And I know to do the Botox or
26:10
neuromodulator different. So some people can be 3040506070
26:14
and they just don't need a neuromodulator, they just don't
26:16
need it. And that's great.
26:17
Not everybody needs it. And I don't think prevention
26:20
means you do it before you have a problem at all, meaning that
26:24
you're not moving pathologically in those ways.
26:26
If you're not naturally furrowing your brows and the
26:29
line resting a little bit, then you don't need it.
26:31
And I don't think you should do something someone doesn't need.
26:33
And preventative doesn't mean that everyone should do the
26:36
exact same thing. So sometimes we'll have a
26:39
conversation around what preventative means and what they
26:43
could do. But normally in that age range,
26:46
it's a time when Neuromodulator does come in as an initial
26:50
thought because most people are starting to over animate and
26:53
having a line linger a little bit even after they're done
26:57
animating. And then I think we are
26:59
preventing because we can turn that back around and we always
27:02
talk about what products they're using at home.
27:05
And then I'm either build on that or I make other
27:07
recommendations depending on what their skin quality looks
27:10
like. A lot of this goes with skin
27:12
tone. Someone lighter generally by
27:14
that age already has accumulated some sun damage.
27:17
Someone with a darker skin tone might not have that issue.
27:20
So we can talk about things like clear and brilliant.
27:22
We could talk even about things like soft wave every so often if
27:26
I'm seeing some deficiency or asymmetry that's a little bit
27:30
off. We can talk about a little bit
27:31
of filler if they have like some people naturally have a very
27:35
thin, fine upper lip that doesn't balance their lower lip.
27:38
And you can slowly add a little bit of volume just to put it
27:41
into balance without making it look like it's a duck lip or
27:44
overfilled lip. So it's looking at their overall
27:47
balance, listening to what they tell me are their concerns and
27:52
helping to guide them in that way.
27:53
And sometimes just simply reassuring them and tell telling
27:56
them they just don't need anything yet.
27:58
Let's talk about good skin care, some good supplements and call
28:02
it a day and make plans for the future.
28:04
That's great that you give them the options.
28:07
I think having a physician listen really give you options
28:11
and not just come in with here's 7 syringes and here's what we're
28:15
going to do. I think that there's a trend in
28:18
some places where they're doing that, but it really does sound
28:21
like you're talking about giving them their options, talking
28:24
about the different care and really balancing sentencing it
28:27
all out with skin care, which I think has become elevated so
28:31
much in the last even 5 to 6 years with all of the actives
28:36
that are out there now. I do the cycling of the actives,
28:40
right? I'm using different products
28:41
each night instead of the same thing every day, which I think
28:44
really doesn't help us as much when you know what I think.
28:48
So what is your thought on the skin cycling?
28:51
I think some products should be cycled and some you just keep
28:55
using because they're just always good.
28:56
And I'm working on a novel molecule.
28:59
I helped Co found a new company and we should have the product
29:02
out early in Q4 of this year in a few offices around the city.
29:06
It'll be only through doctors, but if you look at all the
29:09
things we see on the surface, the changes in the skin, whether
29:12
it's wrinkles or brown spots or broken blood vessels or
29:15
blotchiness or sagging and collagen loss, all of those go
29:19
around what we call the hallmarks of aging.
29:21
And we address that now with all the things that we've been
29:24
talking about, whether it's skin care or devices.
29:27
But there are master regulators of those hallmarks, and those
29:30
master regulators become dysfunctional with age, which is
29:34
why age accelerates overtime. And a lot of what I'm doing is
29:38
trying to understand how to use those master regulators to
29:41
affect the underlying hallmarks of aging from below so that you
29:46
can affect all the hallmarks at once.
29:48
And then all these other things we do are going to work so much
29:50
better and have longevity to them.
29:53
So there is a lot of really interesting research we're
29:55
working right now at the basic science level in the lab and
29:59
we're just starting our final testing on skin.
30:02
And Zoe Dralos is doing these studies for us and she's
30:05
amazing. So we have the product and we're
30:07
now up to the phase of human testing, but we've done testing
30:11
on absorption, we've done testing on sensitivity of the
30:15
skin, a whole bunch of other things.
30:16
And it'll be both over the counter and prescription for
30:19
skin and for hair. And the hair data is incredible.
30:22
So I'm really excited about what this can do.
30:24
I love that it's a novel molecule and that the category
30:28
molecule has a long history and a lot of science behind it, but
30:32
it hasn't been in skin yet. And getting it to skin has been
30:36
a huge amount of work, many millions of dollars of research
30:40
on the basic science side. But now we are ready to bring it
30:44
to both over the counter and then eventually prescription.
30:46
Prescription takes a few more years because it's a different
30:49
level of testing and there's 2 slightly different molecules
30:52
we're using one for over the counter, one for prescription.
30:55
But it's super, super exciting. And again, it's taking it to
30:59
another level. My goal is always to make a
31:02
difference, not just to do the same things over and over, but
31:04
to see what the needs are and why what we're doing isn't
31:08
helping enough, what's driving it.
31:10
So it's the same idea of not just seeing a wrinkle and
31:13
filling the wrinkle, not just seeing a hallmark of aging and
31:15
saying, OK, I can erase that and then it's going to go out and
31:18
happen again. But to say what's driving that
31:21
and how do I affect that so that I can actually have a longer
31:24
term impact, not just an appearance, but an overall
31:28
health as well. I'm so excited for you that you
31:31
have that you are inventing your own skin care.
31:35
You know, you're inventing molecules and you're really
31:38
dipping into the signs of things.
31:40
I can't. I'd like to say I'm inventing
31:42
it, but I'm working with people who have who are investing it.
31:47
But thank you for a lot of credit.
31:48
I really can't take it. I can't.
31:50
Wait to try it myself. And we'll.
31:52
Have it soon. I hope that that once the
31:55
product is released, I get to try it.
31:58
And of course, we'll have you back on the show to and talk
32:00
about it and showcase it. Which brings me to our closing.
32:04
And usually I love to talk about what do you see for the future
32:09
of aesthetics and what do you see?
32:12
Look at what has changed for us in the last five years and where
32:15
do you see the next five years taking us?
32:18
Well, I think the future is so bright, especially now.
32:22
A lot of what I talk about is menopause and perimenopause and
32:25
helping women understand the value of things like hormone
32:29
replacement. But so much of the conversation
32:31
that we've just never had, it's all been like, you see this, do
32:35
this, fix this next, and now it's not that.
32:38
Now we understand that we're medical doctors, we're having an
32:41
impact on our patient that goes so far beyond what it did 2345
32:47
years ago. My injection technique has
32:50
changed, the way I speak to my patients has evolved and my
32:53
level of communication and information that I share with my
32:57
patients about their health and their options of what they can
32:59
do. My collaboration with functional
33:01
medicine doctors, GYN's, internists, to help my patients
33:05
on every single level of their health and well-being is so much
33:09
greater than it was. And I understand that the skin
33:13
doesn't just reflect your health and your well-being deeper, it
33:17
actually affects it. So when you help the skin look
33:21
better and be healthier, you're helping your internal organs and
33:24
even your brain get younger as well and healthier.
33:28
And your mindset is so important.
33:31
So the conversations I have, the way that I direct my patients
33:34
and help them see their beauty, celebrate, enhance it, take
33:38
charge of it and take charge of their overall health.
33:41
That for me is I think what is evolving and what's going to
33:45
continue to grow. And we're going to have more and
33:48
more tools, whether it's wearable devices, other
33:51
opportunities, apps, so many things that are coming down the
33:54
pipeline. AI is huge in what it can do to
33:56
help us help our patients look better as well.
33:59
We don't even know. I don't even think it's going to
34:02
be in the next 5 years. I think in the next one year,
34:04
just with AI alone, we're going to be able to do so much more to
34:08
help our patients achieve their own best health and their own
34:11
best appearance and well-being and their best self.
34:15
Embracing AI is so wonderful to hear.
34:18
I feel like there's a break in the generations where some are
34:22
just ignoring it and pretending it's not happening, but I'd love
34:26
to hear that you're embracing it, because I do.
34:28
Think. Going to change everything for
34:31
us. It's going to change not only
34:32
the assessments of our skin, the possibilities of what we can
34:35
look like if we do this or we do that.
34:38
I think that we're just scratching the surface.
34:40
So I think that's a perfect way to wrap things up.
34:43
And thank you so much for joining us today, Doctor Day.
34:47
And just for the listeners out there and the viewers.
34:50
So you are still accepting new patients, Doctor Day.
34:53
OK, that's great. And they can find you on your
34:56
website and your social media, which is amazing and filled with
35:00
lots of information and before and after.
35:02
So I think you'll have many people reaching out about that.
35:05
Is there anything else that you'd like to share with us
35:07
before we close? No, thank you so much for having
35:10
me. This is so much fun.
35:11
It went by so fast. Yes, absolutely.
35:13
We can't wait to have you back. I can't wait to hear all about
35:16
your new product. So please put us on the list
35:19
when you're getting ready to launch for sure or to have you
35:22
back on again, OK? Thank you for sure.
35:25
Thanks so much for joining us today.
