0:32
the Doctor Randy Show, the podcast that gets you the inside
0:35
look at the game changing people, ideas and technology
0:40
shaping the future of aesthetics.
0:42
I'm your host, Doctor Randy Boyett.
0:44
Let's get into it today. I'm very excited to introduce
0:49
our next guest. He is a renowned plastic surgeon
0:52
leading the conversation on beauty innovation.
0:56
He has partnered with Gwyneth Paltrow to Co create Goop's
0:59
Youth Boost peptide serum and he is the visionary behind Derma
1:04
Reverse, the first skin care line clinically proven to tackle
1:08
GLP one related skin aging. Please welcome Doctor Julius
1:13
Feud to the show. Thank you so much for letting me
1:17
join. Well, we're so excited to have
1:20
you here, Doctor Few, and there's so much buzz in the
1:24
industry about what you're doing.
1:25
I've seen your products all over social media, Excited to
1:29
experience them myself, which we'll get into in just a moment.
1:32
But you really are a visionary and a game changer in the
1:37
industry. The first to bring us a GLP One
1:41
Focus product, as we know. I think they're telling me that
1:46
24% of our US population will be on the GLP one by the end of
1:50
this year. And we're seeing the effects of
1:53
what that is having on our skin, on our bodies.
1:57
And you were forward thinker to create something that was going
2:01
to get ahead of that. So I'd love for you to tell us
2:04
about yourself and about what you're doing with Derma reverse.
2:07
Again, thank you so much for being on your podcast.
2:11
I've enjoyed it over the last more than a year now and you've
2:16
had great guests on, so I'm honored to be one of them.
2:18
Now I think with derma reverse and really looking at the GLP
2:24
one really explosion in healthcare.
2:29
It is really, in my opinion, just the beginning.
2:31
But that journey started about 2 1/2 years ago when I realized
2:37
and as I was doing face facelift and facial cosmetic surgery,
2:42
that the changes to the skin were distinctly different.
2:46
And, you know, I've been a practicing plastic surgeon for
2:49
almost 26 years now, and I've seen the skin and every kind of
2:55
way and capacity, but I knew this was something different.
2:59
And so I really wanted to be at the forefront of investigating
3:03
it. So we started our clinical
3:05
research really about 2 1/2 almost three years ago and
3:09
started looking at the Histology of the skin, looking at really
3:13
what was happening on a cellular level to the skin.
3:17
And that's what gave birth to derma reverse, but it was kind
3:21
of reverse engineering. And what I mean by that is we
3:26
looked at the potential cause and then tried to look at what
3:32
in kind of in science, and you're a scientist in your own
3:35
right, what in science LED us or would lead us to coming up with
3:41
a possible and plausible solution.
3:43
And that is derma versus the kind of the reality of that
3:47
effort. You know, and, and, and so smart
3:50
to be thinking about that. We are seeing the effects right
3:54
across. We're seeing celebrities with
3:56
the effects on their face. We're seeing, you know, our next
3:59
door neighbors, our family members and the skin laxity, the
4:03
muscle, like there's so many angles that are happening from
4:06
this. And I think I know these GLP
4:08
ones are here to stay and I think that getting ahead of it
4:11
and doing all of this. So tell me in your research, is
4:16
it just the weight loss or is it something that the GLP one
4:20
medications are doing to affect skin health in general?
4:24
Or is it just the weight loss or from a scientific standpoint, we
4:28
are curious about that. Yeah, what's happening?
4:30
So I do think that it's a multiple factors that are
4:34
creating the look that we see. And I was the first to kind of
4:39
coin the term asymptic face in an interview years ago now.
4:44
But the reality is I do think it is a combination, as you pointed
4:48
out, of in many cases profound weight loss, but also unique to
4:55
really weight loss is a tangible change to the nature of the skin
5:01
itself. Skin seems to thin out on this
5:04
medication even in as little as three months.
5:07
The elasticity component goes down.
5:10
We've been able to point to Histology or basically looking
5:14
at biopsy data that confirms this reality.
5:18
And on top of it, I mean, our paper that was published in the
5:22
Aesthetic Surgery Journal earlier this year was the first
5:26
of its kind to be published to both describe a direct skin
5:30
change, but also to describe in a placebo-controlled, double
5:36
blinded study, the undeniable benefit of a topical solution.
5:43
So I think really what we're trying to do, and this has been
5:47
the cornerstone of how I look at all of this, is not just coming
5:52
up with something that is catchy or clever as an idea, but
5:57
actually taking it to the clinic and doing controlled studies
6:02
that actually then are presented to my peers, plastic surgeons,
6:06
dermatologist, or at the head of their class, who then will look
6:10
at and say, yes, you know what, your conclusion is valid.
6:14
And then going a step further, we'll publish it in a number one
6:19
plastic surgery or cosmetic plastic surgery journal in the
6:22
world, which is what we did. So I think that's what makes
6:26
what we're doing different and I'm excited to be part of that.
6:31
Sure. And I love this and I think that
6:34
this is a big concern for the GLP 1 users and I think that you
6:39
know we're now solving the problem for them.
6:42
So my question would be what are the standout results that you're
6:46
seeing and patient feedback that you are receiving that derma
6:52
reverse is having right now? What is the feedback?
6:54
Yeah, yeah, it's really interesting.
6:56
So we, it's almost become a bit of a viral movement.
7:00
And what I mean by that is we have individuals who have been
7:05
on GLP ones either actively or in the past that have seen great
7:09
results in terms of toning and helping uplift the skin, making
7:13
the skin look less dull. But it's really interesting.
7:16
I've had a handful of patients who, and I don't ask me how or
7:21
why this happened because my patients are probably as
7:25
creative as I am sometimes. I think they started using it
7:29
for melasma and so we were starting to see some really
7:35
impressive or profound results and that category as well.
7:40
And I think where people are connecting the dots is that what
7:44
we found in our study is that the GLP ones do seem to turn off
7:50
the skins natural sun protective factor.
7:53
And so that's why a lot of individuals, even if they're
7:57
young and they don't get wrinkled skin, their skin looks
8:01
a bit dull and often will show pigmentation or hyper dis
8:05
pigmentation that normally would not happen.
8:09
And So what I believe this product's also doing at a
8:13
cellular level is it's helping the skin to protect itself
8:17
better. Wow, So it's really not just for
8:23
GLP 1 users probably, right. So I'm sure you have people
8:27
using this product and it's making a difference in their
8:30
skin everyday. People like me who I'm not using
8:33
AGLP one, but I'm seeing the effects already because I wanted
8:37
to test the product because you were coming on the show, but I
8:41
think that you probably started at one place but realizing
8:44
there's so much more to it. There's so much more to it and
8:48
it's the first retinoid that can be used morning and night.
8:54
As you know, Retin A or any of the prescription or non
8:58
prescription retinoids, they're typically very sun sensitive.
9:02
So we not only came out with an innovative product, but we came
9:06
out with one that you can use safely during the day.
9:09
Yes, and I love it. I do have to show off your
9:12
beautiful product. OK, so I'm so blown away by the
9:16
packaging. It's absolutely beautiful,
9:19
classic, classy. The product is amazing.
9:23
I love everything about it. So congratulations.
9:26
I mean, and the packaging that you have for the product, I love
9:30
this as well. For those who can't see it, go
9:32
check it out online for those who are just listening on Apple
9:35
podcast. I mean, in opening it, you feel
9:37
like you just opened like luxury, luxury skin care.
9:41
So I mean, the whole line is beautiful and amazingly well
9:44
done. Thank you for that And I wanted
9:47
it to be kind of as we feel for my patients inside and outside
9:54
beauty matching and the truth is the products have all this
9:58
science, but we want I wanted something that also is aesthetic
10:01
and visually pleasing. So thank you for that kind of.
10:05
I can tell you, I can tell that you put a lot into it and the
10:09
line. Now I have 4 skews from the
10:12
line. How many skews are there total?
10:15
So we have 12 total and we're an active innovation think tank.
10:22
So we I would say on a quarterly basis we are typically vetting
10:27
and testing at least one to two products at any given time and
10:32
it truly is a pipeline. So we start with an idea.
10:35
The idea is driven by my patients.
10:38
I still am a very active dizzy plastic surgeon doing both
10:43
surgical and non surgical treatments, lasers etcetera as
10:46
well as I mentioned to you pre recording, I was doing a face
10:49
slip today. So the reality is I think what
10:53
makes our my products unique is that I let my patients tell me
10:59
what is it that they wish they had?
11:02
What is what do they want it to feel like?
11:04
What do they want the packaging to look like?
11:06
What solution do they feel is not being met in the current
11:11
marketplace, which as you know is crowded.
11:13
There's a lot of skin care, but all of our products in our range
11:18
are really focused on just that very specific missing angle.
11:23
Such as we're the first to come up with a clean retinol, meaning
11:27
that it was free of a lot of the elements that are commonly found
11:31
in retinols. Or the 1st to come up with a
11:34
daytime eye serum that actually has an SPF in it.
11:39
Again, things that you think of as well.
11:41
And of course somebody would have thought of that, but no,
11:44
it, it doesn't exist. So I've been a beneficiary of
11:47
these things and people will literally my pay, I have
11:50
favorite patients. I've like, probably about like a
11:53
core nucleus of about 20 patients who I literally every
11:59
month or two, I asked them, OK, and your wildest dreams, what
12:02
would you want? And then I work back from there.
12:05
That's, that's fascinating to me.
12:07
I love to, to hear because you're right, a lot of people
12:11
when they're starting a business or a company and mostly skin
12:13
care, right, they have this fun idea of I want packaging to look
12:17
like this. But you are creating out of
12:20
necessity. And, you know, they say like, if
12:22
you solve a problem, that's where you know you're going to
12:25
be a huge success and you're finding out what we as skin care
12:29
users need and want. And you're answering that
12:33
problem with your skin care. And who better than the man who
12:37
has his finger on the pulse all day of patients giving feedback
12:42
of what we are looking for, those of us having the
12:45
procedures done, those of us, you know, taking the next step.
12:48
So we were looking to you for those solutions.
12:50
And it's funny that you mentioned about the eye serum
12:54
because I remember using it for the first time and thinking, I
12:57
don't think any of my other eye serums have had an SPF, right?
13:02
I don't think any of them had. No, you won't find 1.
13:05
And so that is that's exciting. And I think it's, you know, I
13:10
personally, I've suffered from hyperpigmentation in my under
13:13
eyes. It's something that runs in my
13:15
family and I love the fact that I have a serum that has helped
13:19
it and I use it in the day just like I do at night.
13:22
We have a night time kind of matching a sister product.
13:26
But I mean, the truth is, even if you're just using the daytime
13:28
product, that does what it needs to.
13:30
So it gave me an opportunity to have fun and another aspect
13:34
other than being a plastic surgeon.
13:38
Well, and it sounds like a lot of fun.
13:39
Sounds like you're having fun doing it and developing it.
13:43
So of course the big question that people will want to know
13:46
when they're about to try the products is how fast can they
13:49
expect to see results, especially from the derma
13:52
reverse product. You know when people are seeing
13:55
the effects on their skin from the GLP ones and they start
13:57
using it? Yeah.
13:59
So this is the advantage of actually doing clinical study
14:03
that is controlled, meaning nobody knows if you're if
14:07
they're getting a placebo or the active product.
14:11
But we saw results actually as early as one week, six weeks was
14:15
dramatic, but one week it's. So that's the other nice part
14:18
about it is that because the ingredients are clinically
14:22
geared, you don't have to wait forever to see a little change.
14:26
We have photos that show side by side, one side versus the other
14:30
where it's undeniable. And so I think that in my mind
14:36
is also what good skin care should be.
14:38
Not only should it be good on the skin and healthy like you
14:42
would at a health food store, but actually deliver results in
14:46
a tangible way. And that's what our products do.
14:50
So what is coming next? What would you say?
14:53
You know, if we talk about what's the hero product that you
14:57
want to release in the next 12? To reveal more of their body or,
15:18
you know, in the warmer months worldwide, people are wearing
15:21
very, very little clothing or maybe a backless dress or the
15:24
light. And they want their skin to look
15:27
supple and healthy and ideally free of wrinkles.
15:30
So we have actually, we're soft launching a, we call it body
15:37
tight, but it delivers an immediate tightening to the
15:40
skin. But it has a sunblock in it, so
15:43
you can feel actually good about making your skin look better.
15:49
And at the same time you're protecting it from the harmful
15:51
effects of the sun. So for somebody who wants to
15:54
wear their like rather skimpy bathing suit, but they feel like
15:58
maybe their inner arm, there's a little bit of wrinkle or there's
16:01
a little wrinkle somewhere, poof, they can put this cream on
16:04
and it will make the skin look smoother and tighter.
16:07
So that, that's one that we, it's funny, we launched it just
16:12
internally because that's again that's something we do.
16:15
I want my patients to feel as special as they are.
16:18
We typically will only make things available to our patients
16:21
first, but we launched, we sold out two days.
16:24
So that is what I'm really excited about.
16:28
And I can tell that you are really keeping your finger on
16:30
the pulse of what we are worried about, especially when you just
16:34
mentioned inner arm, right for some reason that skin that shows
16:38
the most laxity of any place on our body.
16:42
Even even I see 30, I see 30 year olds that that is a thing
16:47
that is bothersome. And literally I tell them I'm
16:50
not do I wouldn't do any procedure for that.
16:53
It's like something natural, right?
16:55
But it's all it takes is just it's that one thing.
16:59
And I think we're all in the reality of aesthetics.
17:04
We're all our own worst critics, right?
17:07
I mean, I am, for sure. And so my feeling is what makes
17:11
me feel good about our skin care is that it's not invasive.
17:15
You don't necessarily have to do a procedure to get benefit.
17:21
Right. And it sounds like you're really
17:22
addressing these issues. So on that note, is there an
17:26
ideal candidate for your skin care line or is it applicable to
17:31
everyone? You know, we, I really growing
17:34
up in a time where skin care was not thought of the way it is
17:38
now. I, I would say that our skin
17:41
care is applicable really to everyone, including, It's funny,
17:45
I have a teenager and a college student, both boys.
17:49
And the reality is they both dealt with kind of classic, you
17:54
know, teenage adolescent acne and the products actually became
18:00
a lifesaver for them. So they really are when we make,
18:04
you know, when you're putting on your skin what you feel is
18:07
healthy and what scientifically we've shown to be healthy.
18:11
Similar, like I said, to health food, The reality is good things
18:16
happen and that includes acne coming under control.
18:20
So anybody, any age, any type of user can use the skin care and
18:24
that's the best because I think that so many lines, I mean, I've
18:29
had friends buy something and they're like, I'd even realize
18:31
this is for, you know, this or specifically for that.
18:34
So it's great that anybody can use the skin care and still see
18:38
the results. But I love that this is
18:40
something for the GLP 1 users. You probably see, I put a lot of
18:45
data out there. Even today we released some
18:47
information about GLP ones. How, you know, large percentage
18:52
are now under 35. They're seeing these effects and
18:55
they're getting nervous, like why is my skin changing and why
18:58
is this happening? So it's great that they'll be
19:00
able to now see this episode and know that they have something
19:04
that they can go to. So I think that's great.
19:07
Absolutely. And the other part of this is,
19:10
you know, and you touched on it and it jogged my memory, the
19:14
importance of somebody who maybe is on the fence of getting on a
19:18
GLP one for that pesky 5 or 6 lbs.
19:22
It's a bit of a cautionary tale because it's kind of a warning
19:26
that there's a trade off. It will affect your skin
19:29
directly whether you're looking for 5 lbs or 50 lbs.
19:33
And so especially for somebody who's older with the skin
19:38
integrity is already thinner by age, that's going to be a real
19:42
important variable to look at. And maybe you don't go on this
19:45
for £5. Yeah, I agreed and but or we use
19:49
your skin care, right? Or you use the skin care to
19:52
rescue. Yeah.
19:53
And I think that's that, that is the applicable message for sure.
19:57
Now, because I think the GOP ones are here to stay, I see.
20:02
People of all size, all shapes and sizes are doing it right.
20:05
Like you said, some people are just going on to lose that last
20:08
5 lbs that they couldn't lose, and it happens very quickly.
20:12
So I think that, you know, this is great that they'll have this
20:14
option. So getting away, just talking
20:17
about skin care in general, right?
20:20
What do you think is the biggest myth right now about skin care
20:24
that you're consistently debunking?
20:27
Yeah, I think the biggest myth around skin care is the idea
20:33
that you have to strip or break down the skin's natural
20:38
mechanism to get good skin care. Meaning that the idea, for
20:43
example, of things like toners or wipes that are stripping
20:46
away. I mean, I, you still find these
20:48
ads that show somebody wiping their face with the medicated
20:55
wipe their skin care and then they show to the camera look how
20:59
dirty it is. Well, that's a myth because the
21:02
reality is the natural oils on our skin actually are some of
21:08
the most powerful anti aging components.
21:11
And so really I think that that's myth number one.
21:14
You don't have to try to replace the skin's natural oils to then
21:20
come up with something better because you're not going to find
21:22
something better. And so philosophically, for my
21:26
skin care, it's designed, again, I use the nutrition analogy.
21:31
It's designed to help the skin work better.
21:34
It's not trying to replace, it's adding elements that the skin
21:38
actually actively needs based on science.
21:41
And so I feel like this is philosophically a very unique
21:46
way of looking at kind of skin care and it is more in line with
21:50
the idea of regenerative care. It's using components that allow
21:57
the skin to do what it needs to do.
21:59
So I love what you were just saying about this over
22:03
saturation in the industry of stripping away.
22:07
And I see some of these skin fluencers, as they call them,
22:11
talking about how you should use a chemical exfoliant in the
22:14
morning and then again at night. And like, we're like ripping our
22:17
skin. Off ripping our skin, yes.
22:20
And, and, and then you see these photos online of these women,
22:25
they're, they're like what's going on with my skin?
22:27
And it's all like bright red and these marks all over.
22:30
I think they're, I have tried a couple of the chemical
22:34
exfoliants and I did not like them at all, right?
22:37
I felt like it was much too harsh.
22:39
And I think you're right. I think we're like, we're
22:41
removing our skin's barrier and instead of working with our
22:46
skin. So I love that you just said
22:47
that because I'm a huge proponent of that.
22:50
You hit the nail on the head. There's something about, and
22:54
again, as I say this, it should make sense.
22:56
You would never eat or drink something that made you feel
23:00
sick, right? So why would you put something
23:03
on your skin that makes your skin look or feel sick?
23:06
It doesn't make any sense. And so to me, again, everything,
23:11
it's so amazing that sometimes when it comes to health and
23:15
Wellness, the things that are the most obvious people ignore.
23:20
And so to me, what I think we do, which is gaining A cult like
23:24
following is we are delivering something that is really you
23:29
could think of as cellular nutrition to the skin.
23:33
And so that's really the truth of it all.
23:37
I think that's a great way to say it.
23:39
And I've just, it's funny because a lot of friends, family
23:42
come to me and they ask what should I be using?
23:44
And then they show me all these exfoliants they're using.
23:47
And I'm, I'm a huge part of like exfoliating.
23:50
But for me, I believe in like, you know, natural, like I'll use
23:53
a washcloth and that's enough. Of it, absolutely.
23:58
And that is that's a smart way. I got to tell you, doc, it's a
24:01
smart way you're doing do your mechanical exfoliation, but it
24:04
doesn't need to be done two or three times a day.
24:07
It's so funny. I was talking to a facelift
24:10
patient of mine from about a month ago and she was washing
24:15
pre surgery. Mind you, she was washing her
24:18
face four times a day. And so she would wash in the
24:22
morning when she first woke up, she went up, she would exercise,
24:25
she would wash again, she would wash again when she came home
24:29
from work and then she'd wash again before she went to bed.
24:31
And so, you know, it's kind of this thing of your and then
24:36
wonder why her skin, she and she would say my skin is super
24:41
sensitive. Well, your skin is super
24:42
sensitive because you're stripping away the body's
24:45
ability to manage. And so that's, I think the key
24:49
essence here, which again, that's my, that's probably my
24:53
favorite myth to dispense. And I couldn't agree more.
24:57
In fact, for me, and I'm older skin, 54 year old skin, but I.
25:03
Still young my friend, but go ahead.
25:05
Thank you. So I stopped washing in the
25:09
morning. So I was doing a wash in the
25:11
morning and then a wash at night.
25:12
And then I had a dermatologist friend tell me you don't have to
25:17
wash in the morning, right? I'm putting on really good skin
25:20
care at night. So in the morning, I just do a
25:23
refreshing kind of a toner. And then I go right into my skin
25:27
care routine. And I will tell you, my skin has
25:29
never looked better since I stopped stripping away,
25:32
especially at an older age. I'm not stripping away those
25:35
oils again in the morning. People are like gross.
25:37
You're not washing your face, but my face is clean.
25:40
I didn't do anything. Exactly.
25:42
You were not, I mean, at last I can imagine and tell it's not
25:46
like you were sleeping outside on the ground.
25:48
I mean you you were in a bed. And so I think that is
25:52
absolutely true and great advice that you received is the idea.
25:57
And I will tell my patients like, you know, if you're
26:01
especially in the colder months, you don't, you may not need to
26:05
wash your face even twice a day, just at night time and before
26:09
you go to bed. And simple sleep hygiene, you
26:13
know, as a person who's been in the industry for this many
26:15
years, I know most people think it's bananas, but I sleep on my
26:19
back exclusively, right? Because, you know, prevents
26:22
wrinkles. Also, people don't realize when
26:24
you're sleeping on your side and then you have hair products that
26:27
are on your pillow and whatnot from your hair, then that goes
26:30
into your skin and causes issues.
26:32
So, so true. So true, so true.
26:35
So but I I always recommend to my friends, family, my circle.
26:40
If you're going to not sleep on your back, then change your
26:44
pillowcases every other day, right to make I.
26:46
Agree. I totally agree.
26:48
It's so true. And it's and that may seem like
26:51
it's excessive, but it's not. I mean, it's fits well within
26:54
like you said, a thousand, 1000 percent, 1000 percent, 1000%.
27:00
These are like silly common things, but when somebody says
27:03
to me they're having like a big breakout, one of the first
27:06
things I ask them is are you sleeping pillow case that you
27:10
haven't changed in a few days right with.
27:12
Absolutely, absolutely. That's brilliant advice.
27:16
Brilliant advice. So what is your prediction
27:20
about? You're always on the cutting
27:22
edge of trends and always kind of ahead of trends.
27:25
What do you think will be the next big innovation in
27:28
aesthetics that you predict? You know, it's so interesting.
27:31
So I've been fortunate to be in practice before Botox was a
27:37
thing. And basically I saw the birth of
27:41
collagen injections for lip filler, which it only lasts, you
27:45
know, three months. You have to do a dental block.
27:48
It was a nightmare to where we are now and all the technology
27:52
that's out of a science fiction movie.
27:55
I think where we're headed, especially because of the advent
27:58
of artificial intelligence, is a realization of truly
28:06
individualized aesthetics. I think that the days of wanting
28:12
to look like an influencer or to follow a specific trend or the
28:17
like, I think that's going to rapidly, rapidly diminish in
28:22
large part because with the solutions that I believe are
28:26
coming out and we I was the co-author on, I think it may be
28:30
the first worldwide published article that looked at
28:34
artificial intelligence and aesthetic perceptions.
28:38
The reality is I think that that is going to do something.
28:42
I have my own concerns about AI, but the one positive that I
28:46
definitely see coming is that the desire to look hyper
28:52
stylized or unnatural, I think it's going to go down because in
28:58
our ended and you know, this is better than I do In our
29:01
industry, the number one barrier to somebody doing a cosmetic
29:05
treatment, even a like an injection is fear of looking
29:10
strange. And so most people, and it's so
29:13
funny, like when I go to a cocktail party or what have you,
29:17
most people don't realize that only about 10% or less of the US
29:24
population does these things, right.
29:29
So I mean, we're, I mean, it's a huge number still, but of the
29:35
people who could be doing things, the vast majority are
29:37
not doing it because they don't want to look like, you know,
29:42
this, that or the other thing that's unnatural.
29:45
So I think ironically, the ability for artificial
29:48
intelligence to say and almost guarantee here's what you can do
29:52
so you don't look crazy. And then you're going to have
29:56
people who are like more in a thoughtful way saying, yeah, I
30:00
can try this. I feel safe trying this.
30:03
But right now, we as an industry, I think the industry
30:07
has done itself a disservice by, for example, doing too much like
30:12
too much filler, too much this, too much that.
30:14
So I think that era is about to expire, and then we'll move into
30:20
what I love, which is the static version of quiet luxury.
30:25
I agree with you. I think the overdone look is
30:28
going away, right. I think it's, the movement is
30:31
changing and it's funny, even I, you know, I go get my filler
30:34
refreshed every, I call it refreshed every three months,
30:39
right? So that I don't ever have to do
30:41
that overfill. But you know, now I'm like,
30:44
well, do I really need it? Because now I'm on like month 4
30:47
and I'm like, is it really time? I think that we're looking at
30:51
things a little differently because everybody's looking a
30:54
little less overfilled. So I I think it's a good thing.
30:57
Well, you're a walking example of somebody who's not
31:00
overfilling. There's nothing.
31:01
I'm looking on the at you on the video and I can confidently say
31:06
that. And so I think for the people
31:08
who kind of go down the trail of a little bit too much, I think
31:11
that reality is going to disappear.
31:14
Yes, I'm very lucky. I have a great facial plastic
31:17
surgeon that you know will tell me the truth, right.
31:20
And he's like, no, no, no, you don't need anymore.
31:22
Don't need much more. So I think, yeah, I need that
31:26
honest answer. Sometimes I say, oh, I need a
31:28
little more of my lips. He's like, no you don't.
31:32
It's good. And that's the and that's the
31:34
key, which is again, it shows about really who you pick and
31:38
how you look at this. Because the truth is, I think
31:41
anybody who's reputable, that's what they're going to do.
31:43
They're going to say, look, we, I know you may think or feel a
31:47
certain way, but it may not be in your best interest.
31:50
That's the integrity right of their.
31:51
Practice. Yes, absolutely.
31:53
Integrity is the key. Is the key.
31:56
So, Doctor Few, I would be remiss if I didn't ask you about
32:00
Gwyneth Paltrow because the audience will want to hear about
32:04
how you've worked with her in the past.
32:06
I think that she's an icon in the beauty industry.
32:09
It sounds like an amazing team that you guys work together for
32:14
her group line. So I'd love to hear a little bit
32:17
about that if you'd like to share that with the.
32:18
Last, absolutely, absolutely. So Gwyneth has been a dear, dear
32:23
friend of mine for over a decade.
32:26
I will tell you that she is all the things you said as an iconic
32:30
figure and more. She is probably one of the
32:35
smartest people you could hope to meet.
32:38
She has a work ethic that would make anybody feel embarrassed.
32:43
And she's just a dynamic thinker.
32:46
Speaks a couple of languages vary as much as she's out there
32:52
and the variety of realities as an actor as obviously an
32:57
award-winning, multi award-winning actor.
33:00
But on top of it, an incredible entrepreneur who realized that
33:04
there is an opportunity to try to come up with products that
33:08
were clean and their derivation. And so that led to us first
33:13
after our friendship, but then to the idea, she said one day
33:17
she said, look, I want to develop a product with you.
33:19
And she knew that I, you know, my background in biochemistry.
33:23
And so we collaborated with her team and she was very involved
33:27
in this. But we ultimately came up with
33:29
the youth boost serum, which is still something I sell in my
33:32
office proudly. It is a great, great, great
33:36
product that has won a bunch of awards, but the nature of it is
33:41
one that fit with what I was just mentioning earlier, which
33:45
is clinical testing, peer review published and ultimately a
33:51
product that delivers and then some on what it's supposed to.
33:54
It's a great kind of complement to any form of skin care.
33:59
And so I'm really proud of it, but I'm really proud of the idea
34:03
that this was a collaborative effort with somebody who I
34:07
really admire and respect. Then we were able to make
34:10
something really, really, really great.
34:13
And so that's in it. And for a long time, I think
34:17
it's still maybe their top selling products.
34:19
So I'm really proud of that. But I'm proud because I put so
34:24
much energy into trying to make it knock out of the park for my
34:28
dear friend. And it is.
34:30
It's like a cult favorite people.
34:31
And that's based on peptides, right?
34:33
It is. It was the first peptide based
34:36
serum that clinically tested published and again, this idea
34:41
of looking at cofactors or necessary elements in the skin
34:46
so the skin can more effectively kind of repair and heal itself.
34:51
Well that must have been really fun working with her.
34:53
Was she hands on in the process? She's very hands on.
34:56
She the nature of her operation with Goop, she is very much so
35:02
involved in a on a director personal level and she treats it
35:07
that way. I mean, she is essentially
35:09
stepped back from acting to really grow this to where it is
35:13
now. And so I think many people hope
35:16
she goes back to acting because she's so talented, myself
35:20
included. But I think everything she does,
35:23
she's going to do it to the nines, and that's just who she
35:27
is. And I'm just, I'm proud of my
35:28
friend. She really is an amazing human
35:31
being. Well, that's a great
35:33
testimonial. I love to hear that.
35:35
And I knew you were going to say that she was very involved.
35:38
I just had a feeling because of the success of the line, you and
35:42
I both know for something to be successful.
35:46
The idea of the absentee Ceoi think I think a lot of people,
35:50
and you've probably seen this over time too, a lot of people
35:53
think once you become CEO you can just hang out and like work
35:57
2 hours a day or you know, you flying all over doing trips.
36:00
But it's that's where the real work starts and the hard work
36:04
really starts. And those that are very involved
36:07
in the day-to-day business will achieve that success that they
36:10
want. So I kind of knew the answer
36:13
that you're going to say because her line is so successful and
36:17
that's why yours is so successful as well, because
36:19
you're involved day in and day out.
36:21
And I think that's kind of the signature to where we see
36:24
success in any industry, right? It is and the truth is you this
36:29
is the reason why you have to love the subject.
36:34
Is really the idea that Gwena is hyper curious about all these
36:40
things. So this makes it possible to do
36:44
all the amazing things in her goop kind of reality.
36:50
And for me and my skin care I feel the same.
36:52
I'm hyper curious about all things beauty and related to
36:56
beauty so this is a way to I get to manifest which I feel very
37:01
lucky it it's hard to believe. I've been doing this for 26
37:03
years and it feels like just yesterday I was doing my first
37:07
surgery as a board certified plastic surgeon.
37:11
Wow, isn't it great to wake up and get to do what you love
37:14
every day? So it's a gift.
37:16
What's the saying? If you get to do what you love
37:19
every day, you're not working. And so there are many days
37:22
where, don't get me wrong, there are days where I feel like I'm
37:25
working, but there are many days where I feel like I'm very
37:28
fortunate. I think we all, you know,
37:31
there's always going to be what, 20 to 30% of things we don't
37:35
want to do. That's why it's called work,
37:36
right? But enjoy the rest of it.
37:40
So in wrapping up Doctor Few, and it's been an amazing episode
37:44
having you on as a guest. What would you say is the most
37:48
rewarding aspect of your work today?
37:51
I think the most rewarding aspect of my work today is, and
37:57
I'll give you the example today, actually it happened today.
37:59
So I was removing breast implants that were placed by
38:04
another surgeon 35 years ago. And this particular individual
38:11
is the sibling of a doctor that I know.
38:14
And basically after I finished her surgery, as she was under
38:18
anaesthesia, she sat up and she hugged me.
38:23
And I mean, as soon as she was out of anesthesia, she sat up
38:26
and she hugged me. She said thank you for helping
38:29
me. And I think for me, that is the
38:32
most rewarding thing still. I at the end of the day, I'm
38:35
still a doctor 1st. And so being able to help
38:40
somebody or another patient I talked to today virtually one of
38:44
my Los Angeles patients who's a beautiful woman who I said you
38:48
don't need surgery, you don't need a facelift.
38:50
She was so appreciative and she agreed.
38:52
She said, yeah, you know, I'm being too harsh on myself.
38:55
So I just, I think that to me, that's those are the feel good
39:00
moments. And I think that is it.
39:03
It's not just integrity, it's it's actually trying to walk the
39:06
walk of being a good human being.
39:09
Well, you've definitely made that cut.
39:12
So thank you for contributing to this amazing industry and you're
39:17
one of the good guys. So we appreciate that integrity,
39:21
that excitement that you have for the industry and the love
39:23
that you have for your patients, right?
39:25
I mean, you've created a skin care line all around your
39:28
patients. This is not about an ego, it's
39:30
not about a vision, it's about your patients.
39:33
So I we love that. Thank you with us today.
39:36
Well, and thank you. Thank you.
39:39
Well, thank you so much for joining us today.
39:42
And I'm sure that the audience, our listeners, our viewers will
39:45
be very excited to jump on and view the skin care line and take
39:49
a look at everything that you're doing and try the products as I
39:52
have. So thank you so much and we look
39:54
forward to catching up with you again sometime in the near
39:56
future to hear what's going on. I would welcome it, Doc.
40:00
Well, thank you so much. And again, you keep doing the
40:03
great work you're doing. Thanks Doctor, Few have a great
40:06
day. All right, bye bye now.
