I think that’s quite rude. Doctors notably work very hard and are actually often underpaid. I think those who do work deserve their salary, and many care a lot about the work they do. Becoming a doctor is no easy task, and not exactly a ‘get rich quick’ scheme. I think you should think the impact of what you put on the internet.
It’s a little crazy how much I’m addicted to Dr. Dray’s opinion. I read medical papers and blogs and then I’m like what does Dr. Dray have to say about this. She’s a really good dermatologist, and boy are we lucky to have these RU-vid videos.
Who else pushed pause and ran to the drawer for pen and paper 📝!! 🤣Timely for me. Sagging!!! I’ve done CO2 laser (definite skin disruption 😱🤪), helped w/ texture & pigment issues in my personal experience, not sagging. Thanks Dr Dray.
I need to say Thank you Dr. Dray! You’re a beautiful soul loving what she does and helps so many people with her side social media to help all of us who can’t find a DR. That’s helping more people through social media RU-vid, Instagram and Facebook. Thank you doesn’t seem enough! You’re appreciated an inspire more people than !! ❤️💐
I was sure glad to hear u affirm that red light therapy, radio frequency and micro current devices helped! I know for sure kicking the sugar habit helps, don't smoke and don't drink to excess. U can also look into fasting...take a look at Thomas DeLauer's channel...he lost over 100 lbs and he looks good!
Wish I knew this information before I bought into Beverly Hills MD crap! Live and learn and watch Dr Dray. Thank you so much for your channel! I have learned so much about skin care from you. I have had a dermatologist for 30 plus years and none have taught me anything. I was prescribed tretinoin without any instructions how to use it. I started searching YT to find out how to use it that’s when I found Dr Dray.
Ultrasound therapy causes fat loss in the face and leave the face more sagging and more aged. RF its tricky too, so i say to wait some years because they already speak up about Ulthera problems, in short time they will tell us about RF micronideling (Morpheus 8). If that tipe of devices causes fat loss in the skin its a disaster. I say more safe procedures are: chemical peels, CO2 laser, face lift, retinol.
I had great results with Hifu/Ultherapy. Tightening my face immediately on the day and continued to improve for 3 months. I've had full face & neck for the second time 12 months later. Just having 3 microneedling sessions to help surface texture over Australian winter.
You’re so straight up! If you want a tightening effect on your skin, use a retinol or prescription tretinoin. Other than that, you need to get work done. This is so honest. I think a lot of people just want to hope that all of those gimmicky skin tightening products will work. Who wants to go under the knife and spend that kind of money?! Of course you will if you want the results that badly, but the thought of just applying a product is infinitely easier.
Hi Dr Dray! I have been subscribed to you since you were around 3K subscribers (back when you used to record on your iPhone on your walk to work! Lol) and I want to express how happy I am for you that you are now at 800k+ subscribers!! You have changed the health of my skin and so many others! Thank you and can’t wait till you reach 1Mil subs, you deserve billions!! 🥰
I have used Retin A for years. I am 73 and look 15 yrs younger. I used it every other night for a year on my face , saw some real change after 6mos, after a year, I went to every night for a year and great results. Based on another Dr Dray video I cut back to every other night again to maintain how I look. I then added my neck and the backs of my hands after 3 mos. am starting to see results there too after 3 mos.
what retin A brand do you use? there are tons of different retinals out there that claim to work? also what's the longest lasting budget friendly 🙄 in evasive surgery for the neck and face that last for several years?
I had no idea there are so many avenues to pursue for sagging skin. I’ve heard of some of the procedures but many are news to me. Thank you for providing this overview.
I follow a channel ElleIsForLiving, and in one of her recent videos on procedures she’s had done, she mentioned that she had laser done to her face, and she regrets it. I can’t remember why she regretted it but said that it damaged her face and she’s trying to undo the effects. You can watch the video if you want. I’m sure her experience isn’t the norm but it’s something to consider.
am using the COLLISTAR Anti-Age Firming Body Cream and it tightens my skin after a few uses,another great firming cream is BIOTHERM Firm Body Corrector
Hope you’re are ok Dr Dray...lots of love from the UK. Life is really hard right now, for a lot of us, me included. You mean a lot to us by the way 🇬🇧❤️
*You tell the truth and I just love it!* You don't sugar coat it for us to FEEL better, you just give it straight out the gate🥰 I'm subscribe now♥Ty luv
Hi dr I’m turning 65 next mth taking ur advice on sunscreen and am using differin did way too much sunbathing in my younger days so I know theres no miracles but still fighting the fight
Rock it Pittie. It's fun playing with all this good knowledge and ingredients for those of us on the other side of 50. I was born in 1962, fair skinned blonde, and getting blistering sunburns in the summer was just part of summertime. The only people I knew who used sunscreens were lifeguards, and they only used it on their noses! People used mirrors to reflect the sun up under their chins and to get it in all the nooks & cranies. WOW. I think we survived it pretty well. I've had great luck with retinoids and when I started them I became obsessed with using sunscreen. Best thoughts sent your way and much love baby
I obtained significant temporary (6 months) results with thread lift results are immediate and stimulate collagen because of the material (the same in sculptra I cannot remember the name). My procedure was done in Europe
Pala kush it is a temporary fix but the material (polyactic acid) stimulates collagene ...I repeat the treatment every 6 to 9 months and results are really satisfying and look totally natural ...now I haven’t done them for almost a year because I’m in the USA and my dermatologist (excellent!) is in Italy and I cannot travel due to Covid and my skin looks not saggier than before I started using threads actually looks better
I recently received the Missha Artemisia I ordered from Dr Drays other video. I love the Artemisia. I messed up and ordered the mist so I did not get the 50% off discount but I love the mist. After my evening shower I put the First Essence treatment on my body and follow with Cerave. My skin still feels hydrated today. I am determined to conquer dry itchy shins and forearms. Thank you Dr Dray!
I’ve been following Dr. Dray’s recommendations for awhile now... I’m addicted to Retin A & Sunscreen now.., I am 50 and look 30ish ( I think🤣).... Thank you!!!!
I had an upper eye lift due to age and my down time was maybe 2 days. Some swelling and bruising but sunglasses hide the issues. Didn’t run around in public but makeup hid everything after 5 days
It's very important to go to an experienced ultherapy technician. It's about $3500 in the NY/NJ area. And it's Painful!! But.... with a good practitioner it's effective.
@@elizabethwilk9615 hi Elizabeth... Morpheus 8 is not Ultherapy... how did you find the result? And what about the pain. Ultherapy is super painful....
I absolute love you’re channel and I tell everyone about it!! I’m 50 and you have changed my entire approach, thank you!! I have a podcast in Boston about the dark side of the Ivy League called Ivy League Murders and we would love to send you our chic new tee! I sense you like true crime and academia!! My sincere appreciation, Laura
I think that most people want minimally invasive treatments but not minimal results..so the only procedure that does have the best result is a facelift.
I love listening to you and learning how to take care of my skin! I must say it has made a considerable improvement ever since I have been following your advice! Thank you so much for the information!
Thank you so much. I really wanted your professional opinion about all non-surgical treatments for saggy skin. Gravity is the biggest enemy over 50 and Dr. Dray knows the best.
I was wondering how she was as well. I miss seeing her in her videos. I'm wondering if she just wants to keep her personal life personal, if so I do understand and hope the best for her family 😊
Retinol is great for fine lines, pigmentation issues and of course for acne. This may surprise but Retinol was tested in very large clinical studies (for FDA approval) and was shown NOT to improve "laxity." Laxity is just another word for weak, saggy skin.
This is exactly what she said about tretinoin,not retinol. Only tretinoin FDA approved as a medication. It does improve top layers of the skin,not fascia .
Great info. Your videos are excellent! I had my first Pixel RF this week. I will have 3 more done and then thread lifts. I am 75 years old and haven't had any procedures or fillers done in the past. My goal is to refresh my saggy face.
I had a laser skin treatment and my facial skin is now discolored with one area showing what looks like a white patch compared to more reddish skin next to it and it hurt like hell as a pain sensitive person. Would never do it again. I know someone who has it done a lot and she looks like she has fake rubbery burn victim skin by now. She went to a super professional as she is a plastic surgeon, herself.
Fillers! Majority of Plastic surgeons and Cosmetic doctors against fillers and cryo because it sags the skin actually. They say patients come asking for fillers thinking it would tightens the skin but fillers won't tighten and fillers aren't for tightening. I agree with doctors because my friends got and later her skin sagged further.
Hi Dr. Dray I just wanted to say I really enjoy your videos they have been so helpful especially since I have suddenly suffered with mask acne and now have dark spots where the pimple was which is really taking a toll on my confidence.
@@susanvirginia6037 Bioidentical Hormone replacement therapy.. you can supplement Estrogen, Progesterone and Testosterone if you’re low and those are the hormones that keep us looking and feeling youthful
Thank you, as always, for sharing your wealth of knowledge. This video was exceptional! I appreciate your honesty and clarity about what works - and what does not work!
I tried Thermage & i have a high pain threshold- it was horrific! It was EXPENSIVE $$$$ & i saw no- zero improvement. Not even a modest improvement. Face lifts when done well look AMAZING
There is no cream in the world can tighten the saggy skin !!!!! .. Because the problem is lost of bone and collagen, the cream cannot fix that fascial sexiness , facial exercise can make a big difference to plump and strengthen the muscles of the face and that’s going to help with sagging us a lot!! but creams cannot achieve that it’s impossible🌺🌺❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ and most of the devices that you you’re talking about for tightening the skin it damage the fat it make the skin more saggy ,so the provider he has to be very experience not to take the fat from everywhere especially the Cheerios ,so not all those devices are successful most of them they do more damage than good🙏🏻
thread lift is horrible and painful if done incorrectly near the facial nerve. I was left in pain for years after that procedure. I wouldn't invest in anything other than a face lift and maybe laser resurfacing.
The reason of early saggy skin is if u put cosmetics at early age and do it almost everyday.. look at your face compared to a woman who never use make up.. u will loook way older earlier than her..
Thank you, Dr. Dray, again for addressing issues we all have concerns about. Please, please, make a video comparing and contrasting procedures for rosacea: IPL vs. IDL, and Kleresca. I dread PIH. And if searching for the state of the art new machine, i.e. Primera, is worthwhile vs. searching for the best practitioner. I'd really appreciate this video, since I have lots of doubts.
A 32-48 hr fast every week should help due to autophagy. The Fasting Mimicking Diet, which is also said to produce autophagy, is another option. The DIY versions are highly affordable.
I wish I could afford the ultrasound therapy for my mom. She has always been such a beautiful woman, but a series of surgeries cost her to age rapidly, especially when her adrenal glands burst in the hospital a few years ago😔
Thanks for the information Dr. Dray! Just wondering about the frequency, usually how often does one need to repeat the RF, ultrasound and laser treatments, based on how quickly one should do that kind of cellular damage to your skin? Is this a monthly or three monthly treatment cycle?
Genius... and if only our national leadership was as transparent as you! Keep up your amazing vlog, your honesty , invaluable-objective information mixed with your personal feelings... genius!! Just know, you are helping individuals in ways innumerable and from a cognitive perspective you may fully understand. (That’s NOT a A criticism but a fact from Daniel Kahneman!!) Your one of my daily goes to besides eating and trying to meditate 🧘♀️ 🧘♂️
Yes DR Gray , I would also request you to do videos AM/PM routine for Asian skin - (oily/combination- lightly pigmented(spots discolouration) with early signs of wrinkle and saggy skin(especially around neck) - AM - what moisturiser to use and for night too- full routine pls
Trying to look your best is fine, but come on, when it comes to aging, let's try our best but learn to aceept that we've been given the gift of life for a number of years. The best way to look beautiful is to be beautiful.
Let’s say you’re in your late 20’s like me, how can I prevent saggy skin in the body? I already have prescription tretinoin for the face/neck. I always wondered how do we prevent premature aging or sagging elsewhere?
Oh mylanta! I was considering surgery for this! I think I can cut that expense in half buy trying this on my face at least. Have a great weekend Dr. Dray and ALL!
Well, middle aged woman & 30% of us have some sort of autoimmune issues, making collagen with Ultherapy WIDELY VARIES! Ultherapy in So. Cal.8 years ago, was $4,000 for lower face
This is only 1 year old yet feels so outdated. Everyone I know is done with Botox and fillers and turning to “weekend” AKA mini-facelifts. Local anesthetic and only about a week of downtime. Results last 10 to 15 years and normal skin care with retinol lasers is enough.
