COVID-19

In this month’s “Meet the Aesthetic Expert” column, Will Kirby, DO, FAOCD, talks with Joe Niamtu, III, DMD, a certified cosmetic facial, oral, and maxillofacial surgeon, about what it means to be a KOL, his journey in aesthetics, and why investing in practice staff is always a good idea.

We interview Monica Bonakdar, MD about her thoughts on combination therapies, how COVID-19 has affected her practice, and more.

This week in aesthetics, we announce our fall issue, Innovative Perspectives, highlight botulinum toxin A for upper lip enhancement, and more.

In this Fall issue, Jack Zamora, MD, highlights stem cells for wound healing, Alan J. Bauman, MD, ABHRS, FISHRS, and Jessica A. Shepherd, MD, MBA, FACOG, discuss why physicians shouldn’t shrug off postpartum hair loss, and aesthetic physicians highlight the power of dermatology TikTok.

More options are available to address alopecia, but not all are backed by equally solid science. Strategies for choosing and using new treatments and procedures for full-cycle hair loss management were highlighted at the Music City Symposium for Cosmetic Advances & Laser Education 16th Annual Meeting.

In his latest editorial, Randolph Waldman, MD, discusses the Delta and Lambda variants of COVID-19, complex questions about vaccinations, and what boosters mean for the pandemic’s future.
