You buy your shoes on sale but not your face. Here are three tips on how to find the right cosmetic dermatologist for you from a 40 year old board certified dermatologist who has over 10 years experience. 1. Go into the office and observe, not the derm. The staff are usually a reflection of the dermatologist's work gone wild and if wild is too wild then maybe that person is not for you. Number two make sure that they take pictures of your face at every single visit. You want to keep track of how you are aging and have an objective metric of how you look at every single point in time. Because as we age there are moments where we age faster and moments where we age slower and you do not need a procedure at Every single visit. 3. This one may not go well with other people, but if they're trying to sell you a package deal, run. And last, because I have more tips. If they don't say no to you, get the hell out of there. Anyone who just does what you want them to do is not your person. I hope this was helpful. There's more where this came from. If you guys are interested, let me know below.
