Taking care of yourself shouldn’t come with a side of guilt.

To me, “Aging Gracefully” doesn’t mean giving up and doing nothing. For some, it’s seeing me for in-office treatments.

For others, it’s a skincare routine, prioritizing sleep, moving your body, or simply feeling good in your skin. The graceful part is making the choice that feels right for you, without apologizing—and allowing others to do the same.

What does aging gracefully mean to you?

Don’t bring me a celebrity photo. Bring me an old photo of you.

Your photo from 5, 10, or 15 years ago can tell me far more than a picture of someone else.

It shows me where your natural volume was, how your features balanced one another, and what made your face unmistakably you before things began to shift.

The goal isn’t to copy your younger face (or anyone else’s). It’s to use that photo as a map, so treatment is subtle, specific, and looks like you.

Before your next cosmetic consultation, find one unfiltered photo from a time before, and bring it with you.

Please meet Dr. Scott Hammerman, who has joined my dermatology practice.

For years, patients have asked about services I don’t personally perform: hair-regrowth procedures; leg vein injections; & removals of growths and skin cancers.

After a nationwide search, I now have a wonderful dermatologist in house whose expertise complements mine, and who practices with the same care and high standards.

I will continue taking care of my patients as I always have, doing the work I love; now alongside an associate I trust.

What would you like to know about Dr. Hammerman?

More hair in your shower drain? Fall shedding is real. 🍂

I was on KTLA 5 News this week explaining why: hair grows in cycles, and peak shedding is in August and September.

Watch to find out what to do, and when it’s time to see a doctor:

I was a shy and awkward teen and young adult. I was envious of those who were naturally at ease. Decades later, I’m finally more confident. Definitely a late bloomer!

What helped the most was learning to say “yes” to opportunities that made me nervous. Over time, I learned that confidence is something you can practice.

Even now, I still get nervous sometimes. But I think of it as energizing; it’s no longer terrifying.

What’s something you do now that your younger self would be amazed by?

Yes, I test everything on myself.

Before I bring a treatment into the office, I want to understand the experience firsthand, what it feels like, what I notice, and whether I believe the results are worth it.

That’s part of how I decide what earns a place in my practice.

What treatment would you want me to test on myself next?

I recently spoke with about one of beauty’s emerging ingredients: PDRN.

From why I see PDRN as a promising regenerative ingredient rather than a miracle ingredient to how it differs from peptides, we discussed what it can realistically do for skin—and where the science still has room to evolve.

A special thanks to the Forbes team for the thoughtful conversation. Read the full article through the link in my Stories.

Mom tried to teach me how to massage my face when I was a teen. Of course, I didn’t listen.

Instead, I became a dermatologist.

After all these years of studying skin, I’m finally realizing that Mom may have been onto something. I never had the patience for a daily facial massage, but lately I feel like I could use the help.

So at 84, Mom is teaching me her technique all over again, and I love setting aside a few minutes every night just for me.

Comment DRWU and I’ll share a breakdown of Mom’s exact routine.

Even dermatologists get hair thinning.

When I noticed clumps of hair in the shower drain, I checked the same factors I look for in my patients, including: hormones, thyroid, iron, deficiencies and toxicities.

After correcting a severe iron deficiency, I also started low-dose oral minoxidil, which works by prolonging the hair growth phase. Three months later, I’m finally seeing new hair growth (as well as peach fuzz on my upper lip).

It’s a prescription pill with side effects that can include low blood pressure and hypertrichosis (excess hair growth in other areas), so if you’re considering it, be sure to discuss with a dermatologist experienced in hair loss therapies. Comment HAIR for the exact blood tests I ordered.
