Your Questions Answered: Filler Migration, Lasers, and The Truth About Sofwave

Episode Description from the Publisher

We're halfway through season two, so it's time for a Q&A! I brought in some Dear Media employees to ask their most pressing derm questions, plus answered what you sent me on Instagram. We cover a lot: whether Sofwave is actually worth the money, how I approach dissolving and refilling old or migrated filler, my go-to protocol for baby Botox and why less is more, how to prep your skin in your late 20s and early 30s, and whether Sculptra or radiofrequency will mess with a future facelift. I also break down what vibration plates are and if they’re worth it, where to start if you've never tried a laser, and some of my favorite affordable exfoliators and red light devices. We’re taking the next two weeks off! We’ll be back on August 19th.  // MORE FROM DR.
