Skincare and treatments for cosmetic concerns are never quite this simple, so getting a proper assessment is important. I’ve added some additional context 👇 For fine lines, retinoids have some of the best evidence for topical skincare. Peptides can be a nice addition, but I wouldn’t put them in the same category.

Hydroquinone is one of the most effective ingredients we have for stubborn hyperpigmentation, including melasma, but it is one I recommend using thoughtfully and typically for limited periods of time. 🇨🇦 In Canada, hydroquinone in concentrations of 2% or less is available without a prescription.

Not all neck aging is the same and neither is the treatment. When I assess the neck in clinic, I’m looking at several different concerns: fine lines and texture, sun damage and pigmentation, horizontal neck lines, platysmal bands, and the degree of true skin laxity.
