In this brief monologue, dermatologist Shereene Idriss explains that most patients seek radiant, youthful skin, but Botox alone cannot achieve that glow.

She uses the analogy of a dental cleaning without brushing at home to illustrate why in‑office laser treatments are insufficient without a consistent at‑home routine. To address this, she created the “Major Fades” protocol – a two‑step daily at‑home regimen designed to even skin tone and provide consistent results.

Every patient who comes into my practice wants the same thing. They want their skin to look alive, radiant, youthful. And most of them don't realize what actually gets you there. Botox alone, it's not going to give you radiant skin. The fastest way to transform your skin is to even out your skin tone. Because when the tone is right, everything else falls into place. And that's why my philosophy with all my patients is to address skin tone first. Otherwise, getting a laser treatment in office is like you going for a dental cleaning but not brushing your teeth at home. And that's why I created Major Fades, so that my patients and now you can be consistent At home, 2 steps every day, your protocol for even skin.
