... as a dermatologist?

Well, as a dermatologist who sees people with hair loss from too tight of hairstyles on a regular basis, I was a little worried about this one, and a couple things.

I, I, of course, when I read this article, I went and tried it myself.

I'm like, "Let me see.

If I do a couple little braids," I mean, maybe I wasn't doing it the correct way, and I pull back.

I mean, you really have to pull hard, Tony, to pull-

Yeah

...

Yeah

... physicians, you know, but I think we both also put health first.

As a pers- in my personal decision, what I would never, ever have something injected into my own breasts for any reason at all.

I mean, there's, you know, again, we can go into a whole body self-esteem situation, but it's really just long-term health possibilities of, you know, obscuring screening, you know, exams, MRIs, breast mammograms, to me, is never worth what a bra can do.

I mean, i- in all honesty, and not to take away from what you obviously is probably a big part of your business and your practice, but, and the general population, but I am of the personal, you know, feeling of why would you do something that could long-term affect screening for your health when, I mean, there's so many...

The bra industry can give you boobs that you don't, you know, that, I mean-

Yeah

... it's subtle textural changes.

Hmm.

If you aren't a candidate to take oral minocycline, there are some other topical, there are some topical doxycyclines now that you can use, and topical antibiotics you can use.

And then again, you can go back to sort of the all-natural, um, bacterial-killing things, like apple cider vinegar, tea tree oil, um, you know, isopropyl alcohol or swat alcohol, you know, you cleaning with alcohol.

But, um, it's not dangerous.

It does actually tend to go hand-in-hand with being overweight or obesity as well.

Uh, tell us about your practice here in the Detroit area.

Yep.

My practice is called Northwest Dermatology Group.

What are your thoughts about that?

I mean, I've done platelet-rich plasma under the eyes and fillers under the eyes.

I think it works great.

I actually do.

I mean, it's, again, stimulating collagen.

I don't think the platelet-rich fibrin or platelet-rich plasma works as well as an actual hyaluronic acid filler.

The issue with injecting under the eyes is the bruising is such a turnoff for people to get it done.

Do you guys

Do you think, is it a red flag if there, if you're getting Botox in a place that's in a strip mall? Is a strip mall a red flag?

Kind of.

Yeah, it is.

And I, I would say that, you know, you really have to research.

I'm shocked sometimes when I hear the places people go to get their Botox, their inject- their fillers, anything, any type of procedural or lasers or anything.

I don't understand if there are so many plastic surgeons and, you know, board certified and board certified dermatologists, why are people going to these places in a strip mall that are, there's no medical guidance at all?

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, Morpheus and Pixel.

And do you see different results in those with your patients?

Yeah.

I mean, the problem with the more like pure tretinoin that it is, the more irritating it can be.

So what we're finding is that some of the derivatives of tretinoin, the retinaldehyde and the retrinols are a little less irritating.

But again, those are not quite as potent.

So you really have to kind of play around.

And it really depends on the patient's skin type.
