Can a topical serum really replace filler? Is 38 the new age for a facelift? And has GLP-1 beauty officially become its own industry?
In Season 2, Episode 2 of Derm Next Door, board-certified NYC dermatologists Dr. Ali Dempsey and Dr. Reem Al-Nabti break down the beauty trends currently taking over TikTok- and separate intriguing science from very ambitious marketing.
We discuss:
• Volufiline, aka “filler in a bottle,” and the extremely limited evidence behind it • Whether new collagen-supplement research has changed our minds • Why filler is no longer the answer to every sign of facial aging • The rise of facelifts in younger patients—and why a “preventative facelift” doesn’t make much sense • GLP-1–associated facial volume loss, skin laxity and hair shedding • PRP vs. PRF and the rise of natural “cell filler” gels • Our current skincare favorites and disappointments • Ali’s chaotic experiment with tazarotene • The Korean beauty procedures Ali is considering in Seoul • The Japanese skincare and vintage shopping on Reem’s agenda
Plus: Juvelook, skin Botox, water-glow injections, Oligio, LDM, picotoning and the Korean thread lift that received an immediate “hell no.”
