Episode notes
Use Hypochlorous Acid Sparingly
- Avoid daily overuse of hypochlorous acid on undamaged skin to protect the skin's microbiome.
- Use it as an SOS treatment for acne or rosacea but not as a regular skin product.
Botox Is Preventative, Not Anti-Aging
- Botox is preventative, not anti-aging; it stops dynamic lines from becoming static.
- It relaxes muscles to reduce movement-based wrinkles but doesn't reverse existing lines.
Customize Botox Use Carefully
- Botox is not suitable for everyone, especially mature patients sensitive to heavy muscle feeling.
- Customize Botox treatment based on individual aging patterns and goals, not for everyone uniformly.
