how much do dermatologists usually make?

im thinking about going into dermatology but my mother said that I should go into a profession that makes 250,000 + a year
if they include all anti-aging treatments and prescription ho much do you think they would make?

250,000 – that equals to a doctor earning more than 20K a month. Dermatologist maybe making that much but they are the highest tax payers as well.
So definitely 30% percent in just taxes to federal government and another 5-10% in medical insurance and other insurances.
You forgot house rent if you are living in rented apartment.
Besides if you have the treatment equipments at your clinic, don’t forget the maintenance charges you will have to pay plus the amount of money you will have put in to gain and learn that expertise.
Remember money is not everything.
Doctors are human as well and they can also fall sick so you need to have a life that gives you leisure and happiness and job satisfaction.
Doctors who are into the profession just to make money and who never empathise their patients are never successfull.
Don’t get into a profession just because it has money, remember the more money you earn the more responsible position you are in.
Remember getting an MD degree costs alot money too and not all dermatologist are successfull and reputed.

All the best.
Choose a profession you like and love it.

how do i convince my 20 years old sister that she doesn’t need anti wrinkle treatment and things like that?

she admits she’s a bit a victim of images on tv and advertisements, but yet she thinks she’s getting old (really really old) and she need pro-age skin treatments to stay beautiful. how do i convince her that it’s natural to look like 20years old when you’re 20 years old and that she doesn’t have to stay 15-lookin till she’s 60 just because all the actresses and models do this? please help me, i;m really upset about her obsessions.

Here’s a great idea that she can’t argue with: Many department store makeup counters and pharmacy makeup counters have those free sun damage indicator machines. All you do is bring her to one of them, have the technician do a scan of her face, (make sure she doesnt’ wear foundation or suncreen that day) and it will determine with no uncertainty that she doesn’t have any wrinkles to speak of. It’s no cost and she can take a picture home as proof.
Or she can go to her doctor and ask her what sun damage she has. At this point, it would be sun damage that would be causing any wrinkles and not aging, she should be educated on that part of it. And maybe you can direct her to a site on this very thing to show what real sun damage is.
IF that doesn’t work, then she may have obssesive compulsive disorder and needs to speak to a professional about that, because, then, it would be a distortion in body image that she would be suffering from.

What is the best product for fixing sun damaged skin? That really works?

Has anyone been to the dermatologist for anti- aging treatments?There are so many products out there, it gets very hard to distinguish between them.Are there any skin repair sites you can recommend?

there is no hard-fast rule in taking care of your skin, especially when it comes to aging. skin age does not translate to chronological age. it is how you take care of it that determines what products to use. i have been in the beauty industry for 12 years and have tried every anti-aging product possible in the market/ i even had the chance to help create some. also retail is a good alternative and more cost-effective versus dermatologist / professional treatments.

sun is the number one cause of aging. it’s good only to an extent, over exposure without protection destroys the foundation of our skin which causes us to wrinkle and look older. there are 3 types of sun rays: UVA (aging) = which penetrates deep into the skin that breaks down it’s very foundation thus causing our skin to age faster, UVB (burning) = which penetrates the surface of the skin that causes it to darken / tan, UVC (cancer) = does not reach us at all, these rays are the shortest and we are lucky that they are

anyway, below are some tips and my list of the best products and brands that you can check out and try:

depending on your budget there are several products out there. my rating legends would be: $ = affordable, $$ = mid-priced, $$$ = premium priced

first, always keep skin clean – use a non-drying cleanser and toner 2x a day – low alcohol or no alcohol would be best for sundamaged skin – your skin usually tends to be drier due to exposure to the sun.

* a cleanser i like is CHANEL’s systeme la mousse eclat (to enhance radiance, as the sun makes the skin dull) / follow with a toner. try it with CHANEL’s activatuer eclat or activatuer hydratation. PRICE LEGEND: $$$

* another cleanser i like is AVON skincare solutions keep it clean vitamin charged cleanser (enhances radiance) / follow with toner. try AVON skincare solutions keep it fresh vitamin charged toner PRICE LEGEND: $

second, use an anti-aging product that has at most an SPF (sun protection factor) of 15. anything more than that is a work of marketing to make you believe that you need this much SPF to protect your skin and make you spend more as SPF ingredients are expensive depending on the factor in the product. the truth is, any product with SPF 15 or more needs to be re-applied every 2 hours, especialy in tropical countries where you tend to have more humidity. the sweat we produce eventually removes the product off our faces, thus it’s important to re-apply. another tip: carry a dual powder foundation compact or cream foundation compact with an SPF for touch ups during the day.

* BEST POWDER FOUNDATION I HAVE TRIED is CHANEL’s Double Perfection for a Matte Finish or Vitalumier Compact for a dewy look. PRICE LEGEND: $$$

* Anew Retroactive+ Repair Day Cream / Night Cream – these products works at a cellular level to "re-rpogram" the skin to make it think like it’s young again. so it technically reverses the signs of aging while protecting it from environmental stressors. the day cream has SPF 15 to protect you from UVA / UVB rays. PRICE LEGEND: $

* Anew Luminosity Ultra Advanced SKin BRightener – this is great to even out your skin tone, especially if your are concerned with dark spots. it minimizes freckles and skin discolorations. skin will appear brighter and more luminous in as little as 7 days. with SPF 15 to protect from UVB / UVA rays. PRICE LEGEND: $

* SISLEY ALL DAY ALL YEAR SPF 8 – this product is really a breakthrough. even with a low SPF, the name says it all – it protects you all day all year. with only a pea size this product stays on your face for 8 hours. it’s technology is created, so that the SPF will not wipe off when you sweat and will stay on for 8 hours. it wraps your skin in a bubble of protection the stays "velcroed" on the skin until you wash it off. the result, in 4 weeks skin is renewed and looks refined and younger. after the 28 day natural skin renewal process, the skin underneath that shows has been protected thatnks to the "all day" protection this products has given. in spite of it’s price, an age regression of 10 years (based on lab tests – although may vary for individuals) makes this product worth purchasing. PRICE LEGEND: $$$

These are the products that stnad out on my list of "dependable" products. However, as I mentioned there is no SOLID RULE. Look for a regimen that works for you, it may take a couple of tries – get some samples (if available) to see how you will react, you will be able to tell in a few days which one works the best or try to ask them to give you a "sample" treatment on counter – most premium brands like CHANEL and SISLEY PARIS do that on counter in department stores. all brands mentioned can also give you a skin analysis and suggest some products customized for your need. this is a lot cheaper than having it professionally done.

also you can visit their websites: www.avon.com, www.chanel.com, www.sisley-cosmetics.com

i hope that i have helped and good luck!

what wrinkle treatment can be used with rosacea?

Using RX meds for rosacea but want to use a anti-aging treatment also.

Eucerin anti wrinkles cream is good great for sensitive skin and Rosacea .

What exactly do eye creams do and are they worth it?

Are they only recommended as anti-aging treatments or can they be used by people in their 20s too? I’ve always wondered what they did besides reduce dark circles.

any kind of cream is good for u. you’re supposed to moisturize every day and start when ur young so ur skin doesn’t get that many wrinkles or appear older than ur actual age. my great aunt is in her 70’s and has skin that looks like a 35-40 yr old’s-NOT lying. but she started using creams n all that since she was like 15 EVERY signle day…it sure pays off;) and if it’s cream especially made for eyes it will work even better. i try to moisturize everyday. ppl always tell me i have really good skin.

Would you trade having children, for an indefinite lifespan (with NO aging?)?

I was reading some interesting stuff on research into the aging
process. Some of the more optimistic projections see major
rejuvenation and cessation of the aging process within 30
years. This is well within my potential lifespan (and almost certainly yours.)
Naturally, this could lead to a population nightmare. Unless, certain RULES were adhered to (like possibly not reproducing as the price you’d have to pay to get the anti-aging treatment(s).
Now, for me that’s an easy one. I never wanted to father kids, so I never did, and I’m quite sure I never will. Thanks to "prophylactics", it hasn’t cramped my style either (if you know what I mean..!)
So, I think I have a right to physically live as long as I’d like to! (Not FOREVER, mind you. Someday you’ve GOT to die! Forever is TOO LONG. But maybe 500 years or so would allow me to do and see everything I’d like.)
I’d definitely prefer this option, to the slow rotting process we call "natural aging" (which gives us NO choice.)
How about you?
I would like to stress, NOT FOREVER!
The thought of eternity gives me the
heebie-jeebies, and is one reason I
hope there is no metaphysical "afterlife."
All things must end, yes… even good things.
(That in itself, is a GOOD thing..!)

I’d rather have kids. Although there are many things in life and can give meaning, from what I’ve heard at least, there is no single greater joy than being able to bring up children.

Would you like to accept a energy drink which is rich in oxygen ?

well, this is a part of my project and so conducting a survey.Your reviews will be submitted as a hard copy.
Product name: Oxygen
Flavours: Apple, Orange, Cherry & Lemon
Oxygen is an important component of cellular metabolism and other biological processes that keep our bodies going. Oxygen provides the body with energy and makes sure our cells and organs stay in shape. In its concentrated form, oxygen is known to be an anti-aging treatment.

Are you serious?

You want to fill our bellies with air? Is this some kind of trick to get us to fart more?

Our body takes in oxygen through our lungs, not through our stomachs. Putting oxygen in food won’t work…

When to start using anti-wrinkle cream?

A girl friend and I were having a debate today on what age a woman should start investing in anti-wrinkle and other anti-aging treatments? (Creams, serums, etc.)

Obviously BEFORE signs of aging… but what do you all think? Thanks in advance!

To be completely honest with you…I don’t think anti-wrinkle creams work. At all. Usually they’re just something older women run to at the first sight of a wrinkle or crease. I don’t think they do much at all. They may temporarily reduce the appearance of wrinkles once you have them, but I don’t think they do much in preventing them. You’re much better off moisturizing (dry skin is the leading cause of wrinkles) and wearing sun screen EVERYDAY (the sun is the main cause of dry skin…as well as freckles and other spots). As for what age…I think the sooner you start, the better. I’m 18. I don’t use anti-wrinkle creams, because I have no wrinkles. But, I do wear sunscreen everyday and moisturize everyday. Had I known a few years ago what I know now, I would have started protecting my skin much earlier!

Hi, I wanted to know when it is appropiate to start a anti aging skincare ?

Hello everybody , my name is Lucy I am 24 yrs old now and I am very serious about skin treatments and I would like to know when is appropriate to start a anti aging skincare regimen I know is a little bit early for me to be asking this. But i take my skin very seriously and invest quite a bit on it. So if any of you ladies know of any good products out in the market for skincare , let me know.

Skin follows a biological timeline, by decades of life. During your 20s and 30s, the first wrinkles start to appear and skin becomes less resistant as elasticity declines and gravity begins to take hold. In your 40s and 50s, repetitive movements form the first permanent wrinkles as genetics, gravity and a decrease in collagen and elastin cause skin and muscle to sag. And for this i use Arbonne’s NutriMinC RE9 products which are botanically based products formulatted without animal products and without mineral oils which is the 2nd worse thing we could do to our skin … check out their site for more info and i think they still send out some free samples…..but their NutriMinC RE9 anti-aging system for face is a U.S. and Swiss patent-pending skin care system that blends 9 key anti-aging elements to combat the visual signs of aging and it is difficult to find one patent and they have 9 ….trust me they are great…..
