How to Tighten Saggy Skin from a Dermatologist! | Dr. Shereene Idriss 

I for one appreciate you letting us know you are A BOARD CERTIFIED DERM! Your knowledge you share on here took you years of study and you share it free! So thank you

I'm a registered dietitian so it doesn't matter if some people are annoyed at your introduction. OWN that degree girl! Over half of my job is busting myths people heard on the internet from opinionated people with no human nutrition education. You do you boo! You have mad respect and appreciation from those of us wanting to know the science and what really works.

Your audience includes me, a 73 y/o grandmother who greatly appreciates your careful and comprehensive explanations about what happens to our face as we age, and about how to care for our skin properly. I never miss your videos, and both my daughters (54, 51) don’t either. Thank you thank you thank you.

I for one appreciate you letting us know you are A BOARD CERTIFIED DERM! I am a nurse, I graduated with my bachelors. I am very proud of it and like sharing it just as you are with your degree. I think its healthy to be proud of your accomplishments. I really like your videos.

Good for you! You should be proud of being a board certified dermatologist. You've earned it!!!

I’m in plastic surgery. I agree with everything discussed in this video. Very well done and comprehensive!

My grandfather was a dermatologist, so I really respect the twelve years it took you to become one and share your knowledge with us! ❤

You're so amazing for spending all that time and energy on being a board certified dermatologist and going on the internet to educate others. This means so much to me who don't have the means to go to dermatologists' appointments.

It’s very rare to come past good people on this platform - and you my friend are a good egg! I love how genuine you are about your profession and skincare - I love that you haven’t made your platform about brand deals but instead have used this platform to educate the masses on how to take care of the biggest organ of our body. Your advice has helped me so much with my skin health!! My skin is 100 times better than what it was prior to watching your videos! Please keep up the amazing work and just know that all the effort you’ve put into this community does not go unnoticed.. I cannot wait for pillow talk derm to become available in 🇦🇺!!! Thank you again for taking time out of your very busy life to come on here and educate us and more importantly make us laugh and smile 😊 😊 💕

I appreciate you letting us know that you are board certified because I can trust your information more than anything available out there

I flipping love your “aging or dead” ethos, it reminds me to embrace it rather than mourn what is no more or waste energy beating myself up for not looking after myself better before I knew better. Onwards and upwards! Thank you for sharing your knowledge ❤

As for hair thinning, I’m 53 & started using a flexible REDLIGHT/INFRAREDLIGHT device on my scalp about 7-8 months ago. My hairstylist pointed out to me NEW GROWTH…this device has done more for my hair than any vitamins I’ve ever tried😊

One reason I watch your videos is bc you are a board certified dermatologist! I didn’t even know derms had RU-vid channels and I was led astray by a skinfluencer. You are now my ride or die! And this video is greatly appreciated by me.

85% of the reason I stayed and watched your video for the first time was because you said board certified. It really matters! There is too much information out there so to know that you are indeed a reliable source is everything. Also, the other 15% is better you are enjoyable to watch. Ps, your under eye Depuffer is amazing and I show it to all my friends.

I am 73 years old. I do not have any wrinkles. I have been using prescription Trentinoin ( beginning with the lowest form, to now 0.1%). I jave been using this product consistently for about 30 years (JAMA). I do have a bit of sagging jawline and under-eye bags….I hide them with eyeglasses😊. Prior to a simple gastroenterology procedure, I heard the physician ask the nursing staff if I look my age…. They all replied “NO”. I then said “I know”. …they then gave me more anesthesia. Later an RN came in and asked me what I use. I explained a pea size tretinoin…then dab glycerin, when the tretinoin had settled down. TRETINOIN IS TRULY A REMARKABLE PRESCRIPTION PRODUCT….for me. Thought I would share.

Love your channel Dr. Idriss, your content is so informative and helpful. I'm 64, never had any fillers or plastic surgery and just take really good care of my self, body, skin, etc. I also lift heavy weights and that has made a huge difference in my body composition and general youthful feeling.

Too many self proclaimed skin experts on social media. Never annoyed with you stating your credentials I am a believer That being said there are some dermatologists on line that I don’t trust

I’m so grateful for sharing your voice as a board certified dermatologist. I’m also so grateful for you for being a real person and not being afraid of calling out bullshit where it exists.

Loved your intro on this video! You absolutely should be proud of all of your hard work and dedication in becoming a board certified dermatologist! In the medical community board certification means everything! Your videos are phenomenal! I can’t tell you how much I’ve learned and benefited from your expertise and wisdom! Thank you for all that you do!

I love how you can give us so much information in such a concise format. Not only are you a great derm but an exceptional presenter!!!

I haven't even watched all of the video, but I already liked it because the fact that you are "board certified" is so important!!! Too many of us get misinformation from social media and it's critical to get accurate information. Thank you for taking 12 years of your life and continuing your education to be the best dermatologist you can be. Have a great week! :)

God bless you. Your sincerity is palpable. Yesterday an esthetician try to sell me a laser package. I went home and researched and decided not to take that option. Instead I’ll have a dermatologist whom I trust deal with my hyperpigmentation, some rosecea and aging face.

You didn't lose me after 16 minutes, lol. Holy moly, it's complicated trying to navigate through what's the best thing to do. I've noticed SOOOO many changes in my skin and hair, especially in the last 3 or 4 years. Mainly I'm trying to embrace the ageing process, because it is indeed a privilege to grow old, but putting my best face ( and hair, and attitude) forward. Thank you! You're my favorite content creator!

What a great video, I just discovered you! The sagging I saw last month seemed to happen overnight, and I'm 53 yrs old, which was about 9 months after my hair noticeably thinned.

This IS the video I have been waiting for so long!!! Finally, a doctor explaining complicated in-office procedures in a simple yet detailed enough way!! Thank you, Dr. İdris!

Nope! I’m 70 and glad to be alive and sagging all over the place. As a granny let me say that the reason I’m not upset to be sagging is that I HAD MY DAY INTHE SUN and I ENJOYED every moment. Go out and strut your stuff ladies. Have some fun.

Thank you for summing up all of these treatments in such a simplistic and easily understandable way. I truly feel way less confused now. Actually, I had a consultation with a well-known med spa concerning Ultherapy and they immediately began throwing fillers at me. There seemed no concern for what would work specifically for my face, but instead a "one size fits all" approach. Thank you so much, Dr. Idriss!

This was a FANTASTIC video. It pretty much addressed everything in a very succinct and comprehensive way

Thank you for bringing your expertise and honesty to us! To have the chance to learn from a board certified dermatologist at length is a gift!!!! 💝

I am 40+ yrs old and am trying to “age gracefully”. I have used as good of skincare as I could afford and with my current knowledge and had have time for consistently about 15 years. It has not been an easy journey for me. I just had my first Morpheus treatment and have done no fillers but regular use of new face and can only treat myself to Botox 1 or 2 X a year. I do think these things have helped. This video is the BEST explanation of skin treatment I have watched. Thank you. My favorite board certified dermatologist on social ❤️

LOVE your frankness and honesty! So refreshing.

Absolutely never stop saying it!!! You earned it and we appreciate you.

I bought a TENS machine 20 years ago and use it on my face everyday. My eyebrows have never shifted off the brow bone and although the malar fat pad has descended to the jowls I haven't developed any of the other sagging associated with ageing. If you don't want to spend hundreds on microcurrent devices, buy a TENS for $50. It's the exact same thing and does the exact same job.

Somewhat newer subscriber that has binge watched dozens of your videos bc I’m obsessed with all things skin - I am actually so happy that you are board certified! I love your knowledge and all the info you share with us for free! You answer questions and provide insight on things that I’d just love to pick a dermatologist’s brain about. Keep doing what you do!❤

What I like above all in your videos is how human and genuine you come across. I am truly glad I found this little gem of a channel

Only 45 seconds in and I love you. The internet needs more educators like you

This is wonderful! I so appreciate your expertise to demystify all the various options. I am sticking to skincare, home devices (full-body LED at the moment), and lots if sunscreen fir the moment, but it's very helpful to know of the options that exist for the future. I appreciate how thorough you are, and how well you explain everything. 💜

Fantastic video. Thank you for treating us like adults and giving us decent levels of info and not dumbing it down ❤

I’m 55 and absolutely love your passion, spunk and knowledge. Love learning from you ❤

I appreciate you mentioning that you're a Dermatologist. I love the information you shared!

Thank you! You make me understand so many things simply and I like your approach of not being ashamed of getting old. It's refreshing!

Hell yes to owning your achievements- especially as a woman. Love it! You're awesome.

You are the first dermatologist to giving us the real deal on Ellacor. Thank you for your truthfulness and honesty.

Thank you Sherenee 🙏🏻. For a few months now, I have been an avid follower of your videos. I am so grateful to you for being sincere and presenting self care in an open and easy to grasp manner. I’m learning every day. Merci beaucoup 🤗

Dr. Idriss - thank you for your statement about MISINFORMATION!! I am a proud board certified healthcare practitioner (pediatric dentist) and yes, you should be proud of your hard work and dedication!! Thank you for sharing your medical knowledge and expertise on dermatology. It's mind boggling to me how much the public want to believe a random person on the Internet vs. a physician or a health care provider. Love your videos!!

I'm 58 years old and I love watching you and all of your information ❤❤❤ I take them into consideration and practice, I have seen a noticeable difference in my face and skin with your knowledge , thank you so much 😊

Shereene, I love your personality so much...I see you as honest, direct, powerful, kind, warm, confident, humble, knowledgeable, playful, caring... you have SO MUCH going on for you. Thank you for sharing yourself with us!!

I LOVE that you let us know! I’m thankful to know you know what you’re taking about ❤

Thank you so much for taking your personal time and teaching us. I am at a point where I am starting to think about these things and find your knowledge useful. I also appreciate how much time you spend discussing them. When in office, I sometimes feel rushed. Again, thanks. NanZ

Excellent information thank you. I also have been having hyaluronic acid filler twice a year since I was 62 and in the same areas as you, it has worked very well for me and now at 70 I have little to no sagging in my face and I have never had the undesirable 'puffy face' look. A person whom I worked with when I was 22 (and I have not seen since that time) recognised me earlier this year and said that I looked so good for my age, you can't get any better outcome than that.

Keep saying it! I'm here for it! Do your thing, you should be proud. ❤

Thank you for your videos and honestly it is one of the best channels from professionals!! No non- sense, honest, bold and informative, THANK YOU!

Your blouse is beautiful!! I love the colors. I'm 66 and have some catching up to do with getting my sagging under control. Thank you for the great information 😊

Never thought about the bones being everchanging to this degree. Thank you for changing my perspective on the topic and my expectations of skin care.

I do appreciate your transparency and honesty.

Thank you! For your time, expertise and generosity in sharing both 😊

You certainly earned that Board Certification and glad to see you displaying it proudly 👏🏻 “the alternative to aging is death” 😂 well said! We all need to embrace it ❤ easier said than done, I know.

Thank you, Dr. Idriss😊. I have learned a lot from your videos. The reality of aging. What is BS and what can truly help my 60 year old face. I just want to look and feel the best I can and realistic expectations. I will never look 30, 40, 50 years old again. But I can look great at 60! Again, with a realistic view. I sincerely thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise.

You are a GEM! I’m a fellow nerd and LOVED this video. Thank you for the hard work and care you give us in this!

I appreciate that you let ppl know and I’d be telling everyone everywhere, in the store, at restaurants etc… ❤❤

My son suffers from uneven skin due to acne scarring. He watches a lot of TikToks looking for skincare tips and tricks. I told him to ONLY follow the advice of a board certified dermatologist.

Telling us the hard truth! The inevitable aging. Lots of great information in here. I don’t like the sagging and the loss of the fat pad in my under eyes. The fine lines don’t bother me. I’m worried about making the right treatment choice and finding the right provider. This all helps. Being armed with information is always a good idea.

It's refreshing to deal with honesty! Thank you. I won't waste time and money. I'm going to dig into your other videos now!

I ❤ like that you announce your credentials! It’s professional! U worked hard for it be proud

@Dr. Shereene Idriss As a skincare junkie who is interested in the science of ingredients and a health professional ( in the pharmacy sector, compounding creams etc), you have now become my go to for skin care research. Your videos are engaging, interesting and you explain things in a simple manner, concisely stating the truth. Thank you🤗

Yes 🙌🏻 keep saying it because the influencers should not come ahead of a board certified dermatologist when it comes to getting this information

I love how real she is. She’s also the whole package, smart, beautiful, well spoken, funny, down to earth, just perfect in my eyes. Thank you for the videos Dr. Idriss! ❤

Great information!!! Love knowing that you are a board certified dermatologist.

We just love you so much!!! Say it loud and say it proud BOARD CERTIFIED DERM!!!!

That intro was 🔥🔥 and exactly what I’d expect from a physician with integrity and class. Stay awesome ❤😊

So eye opening! I love the couch analogy. Great job Doctor!

Thank you for all these videos because I know you're busy!!!

You are the voice of reason in the panic-driven world of misinformation, let alone the emotional world of cosmetics and empowered aging. What a silly comment to resent your qualifications to give the best advice. You truly care and you are deeply appreciated! Edit: I do have a question about targeting **specific** problem areas (let me know if I should be looking in your post history for some of this). I understand that many treatments aren’t good all-over solutions, but what are they **best** for? For example: I just turned 40 and I’ve always taken very good care of my skin, but that is not going to stop my large-bridged Persian/Sicilian nose from getting lower and lower. Threading willy nilly all over is not recommended, but I like to imagine that maybe threading could lift the tip of my nose, which sounds better to me, and perhaps more natural, than slicing or paralyzing anything. And in truth, I really want all the most natural looking nose tricks! Lol, I don’t want to get a nose job like most of the Middle Eastern babes I know.

That opening is everything! Hell yes sister, effing own it! AND by watching your videos and listening to your advice as a BOARD CERTIFIED DERM, you have helped me make sense of a poorly prescribed Tret regimen from my doctor. I went from a horribly irritated and effed skin barrier to now much more healthy, glowing and tight skin. I thought Tret wasn't for me, but all thanks to you, I'm seeing the full benefits and cannot wait to see what a full year of consistency brings. I could just kiss ya!! xoo

Thank you for explaining all the different types of fillers that are used. I had no idea I can be much more informed when I decide to go for it, and I won’t be afraid to ask the right questions. Thanks for your honesty.

Love your videos! So professional yet understandable ❤

Since I started watching your videos (I think it's been 3 months), my decision-making has become much more efficient. After a year of investing in my skin health, I've noticed a significant improvement in the last 2 months, and I now have a long-term idea of what to expect, depending on how my skin responds to each step (which has also helped with my anxiety problem). Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your knowledge.

I’m 55 and aging really started for me at age 50 (thanks menopause). I’m thankful for my great genes, but now aging has become a reality. It’s hard. I don’t want a facelift, but my eye hollows, fat pads, and sagging jowls are bumming me primarily because I looked much younger than my actual age for the majority of my life.

I love it when doctors are providing information that awakens our thoughts, thank you for helping us accept the reality that our body is going through. ❤❤❤

Absolutely. You did earn that with blood sweat and hard work. My late husband was a board certified MD, thank you for putting that up!

For another video topic: Do collagen products on the face, or in edible/drinkable powder, work? Also, what do topical peptides do?

Thank you for this in depth explanation of different treatments for sagging jowls in particular. I'm a retired RN & love that you break down the science of these treatments so that anyone can understand. I'm now 76 years young & have recently applied your PillowTalkDerm Skin Care Routine. I love that I now have an exact routine & I believe I have less redness on my cheeks. I've been using your treatment for only a couple months now and I'm ready to re-order. The routine is simple to follow and I am enjoying my "old skin" now. Thank you, Dr. Shereene Idriss, board certified dermatologist! Woo Hoo.

Dr Idriss, I’m new to your channel and have only seen a couple of your #shorts videos But I’m here to tell you that it’s a pleasure to watch a Board Certified Dermatologist that for herself doesn’t look like a Barbie Doll, like some other Board Certified Dermatologist I’ve been following, (not mentioning names), you get straight to the point in a way that someone like me can understand, you don’t pull any punches so to speak, I totally agree with you when you talked about skincare not fixing the problems that some have, the only two at home devices I have is the CurrentBody LED Red Light Therapy mask and the Truth Treatment MicroCurrent device, but like you said, those things only work if you’re constantly using them and I haven’t been consistent, I need to get back into a routine of using them, a lot of in office procedures you have mentioned aren’t available here in Australia 🇦🇺 unfortunately, so it makes it difficult for the likes of me who would love to try having those in office procedures, I don’t believe in doing micro needling at home, I’m 63 years old and this face has to last me a long time yet, I don’t want to do any damage to my skin on my face, I have Botox twice a year and I’ve dabbled in Fillers, I had some filler put into my non existent lips 👄 mainly because as I’ve gotten older so has the volume in my lips and I love wearing lipstick 💄 and makeup, but when your lips start to disappear, lipstick just looks worse on those little lips with no shape to them, I have a wonderful injector who will never give me big Barbie Looking lips that don’t even look real, when I first had filler put into my lips, my husband didn’t even notice Lol 😂 when I asked him to look at my face and tell me what you see that’s different, he looked at me and said you’ve had your eyebrows done Lol 😂, only because I’d been telling him I need to have my already tattooed brows touched up after having them done back in 2011, they lasted me a long time on the colour of my skin and my skin pigment I guess, but anyway, I ended up telling him and he quite liked the way my lips looked, I ended up having just a little tiny bit more put in next time I went to have my Botox and he loved them, I’d never go as far as having a facelift, but I’m happy just doing what I’m doing to really just give my face a fresher look, I’m 63 years old as I said and I’m not looking at ways to look younger than I am, I get compliments now on my skin and how I look and that’s enough for Me. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise on your channel, sorry for the long comment, I don’t even know if you’ll even read it Lol 😂…anyways, Happy Holidays from Australia 🇦🇺❤️❤️🎅🏻🧑🏻‍🎄🎄🎄

Making sure you was a dermatologist was the 1st thing I was looking for. Thank you so much for letting us know. I don't want advice on skincare from just anyone.

Girl I’m 28🙋🏾‍♀️ but nursing school is making me look like I’m 33 😂😭 & you better say you’re a board certified derm 👏🏾 best believe in two years I’m going to have BSN posted everywhere ✨

All of your videos are like a masterclass. 👏🏆🏅 Been following you for a while. Super proud of you for starting your own line. Thank you for sharing so much wisdom with us, you're so generous and thorough!

I am 57 and I can’t thank you enough for the comprehensive information you impart . Your actual concern for your audience is felt . Your clients are lucky to have you as their board certified derm . Much love from India.

I’m a new subscriber and I think you should be so very proud of yourself 😊 Just having started a face care routine within the last 6 months I am so confused by every RU-vidr that’s 30 years younger than me and isn’t educated as you giving me conflicting information…double cleansing, order of skin care products, wash my face once a day or twice, etc…YOU are the best and please let me thank you for your help, knowledge, and time!!! Blessings today and always ☮️😊❤️‍🩹

Congrats to you DR Idris. It is an amazing achievement ❤

Doctor, please talk more about radiesse. I have applied that once a year for the past 3 years and I love it.

I appreciate you and trust you all the way, Doc. I follow you from Milan, Italy and have been improving my oily, menopaused skin thanks to your tips and products' advice.

I have just recently found you. I appreciate that you are a board certified Dermatologist and I think most people do I don’t want to get my information from an idiot. You keep telling us what you do and what you know and I will appreciate your help knowledge! Much love thank you!

I too appreciate knowing your credentials. It matters. I am 61 and love your channel. I've learned a lot and have seen improvements in the over health of my skin senses following you. You have a very healthy and wonderful view on aging. I like that you stated it's inevitable. My goal isn't to look younger, it's to be has healthy as I can be, and this includes my largest organ, my skin. About five years ago I introduced a mouth exercise ball into my face work out. It has really helped tighten up my jowls and jaw line and while the muscles along the jaw do get bigger it doesn't have the same lifting as fillers. I'm looking at getting a full body treatment with the dual wave form Titan laser. I'm carouse to know what you think about the Titan laser and if the dual wave form will help minimize felt melting?

I watch because you are a board certified dermatologist, I do have my own dermatologist but I love watching learning and your advise have always been in line with my own Dr Ann. Love that shirt btw.

Thank you, Doctor! Your educated advice is truly appreciated!

You should be PROUD of your achievements!!!!❤❤

I know you will probably never see this , but I bought an Omnilux & used it regularly for about a month. Then I noticed my melasma was getting darker. So I quit. Just my experience ….🤷‍♀️. Love your channel! It is full of good info. And I love Nutrafol also! It has taken me about 9 months to see growth ( but I am old!).

I'm glad you introduce yourself as a board certified dermatologist every week so that new people know who you are and that you're a rich and credible source of knowledge about how skin works and also skin care products.

This is by far the best all in one video I have seen that covers pretty much everything!!! Thank you so much this video, it has been extremely helpful 😊

Thank you! I love that you give your credentials!!
