Show Notes
Derm Next Door is back after a brief hiatus and we’re coming in hot.
In Episode 13, board-certified dermatologists Ali & Reem break down what’s actually trending in dermatology right now, what we’re officially side-eyeing, and the skincare products that earned a permanent spot in our 2025 routines.
We cover:
- Why Sculptra is having a major comeback and how it differs from traditional filler
- Who Sculptra is actually for (and when it’s not the right move)
- Why the industry is shifting toward more natural, collagen-stimulating treatments
- Our honest take on mesotherapy and why the data just isn’t there (yet)
- Whether facials are necessary if you have a solid at-home skincare routine
- Celebrity work decoded: Bradley Cooper, Andy Cohen, and subtle aesthetic tweaks
- Botox vs newer neuromodulators like Daxxify
- The skincare, haircare, makeup, and SPF products we truly loved in 2025
We also answer real clinic questions we get every day, from hair supplements and dandruff myths to when you should actually start Botox.
