My diet tends to be more in the, I guess, old school, you'd call it Atkins or keto diet, where I eat a lot of proteins and mostly fruits and vegetables. I'm not very restrictive, but I know that's what's made the biggest difference. I know that if I go on a sugar binge, in a few days, I'm breaking out. It's like clockwork for me. Some people are not as sensitive. My body is.

And that's where the personalized medicine comes in.

Yes and no. Yes, there is some evidence that omega-3 supplementation tends to be better in fish form than non-fish formats. But omega-3s tend to be anti-inflammatory, so there's an improvement in skin health because of that. One thing we do see is they thin the blood, so people tend to bruise a little bit more.

So actually, in my practice, I have people stop omega-3s before any sort of surgery because they bleed more.

Yeah. So two big categories. So we know the skin turns over, right? It turns over every 28 days. So in theory, if you keep turning the skin over, you can get rid of those mutations that occur in the skin that's stacking up and hope to bring out more vital, youthful skin that's not just appearing vital, but actually biologically healthier. And there's two categories of things you can do.

The first is the family of retinoids. Amazing medications, amazing drugs, been around for 50 years. They come in oral form and topical form. And these increase the time or they shorten the time, they increase the skin turnover from 28 days to somewhere between seven to nine days. And in doing so, they've been shown to decrease skin cancer and pre-cancer formation.

They've been actually shown to grow new collagen. They've been shown to increase elastin and appearance. And this has been histologically verified in study after study, meaning we take a biopsy of the skin, have them start a prescription retinoid, re-biopsy the skin and stain it for collagen or elastin, and you see a marked improvement. It's every dermatologist's well-known tool.

And for some reason, it's still not well-known in the population. Its original indication was for acne and still is first line for acne because what it does is it dries out the oil glands. But in doing so, it also helps repair skin. So I recommend every single person to be on a prescription-strength retinoid, which is different than over-the-counter retinol.
