Hi Dr. Seckel:During your recent lecture you mentioned everyone should buy a Japanese Puff Pad for exfoliating the skin during washing. The only problem is that I cannot find it anywhere. Is there a web site or store that I can contact to purchase these pads? I even contacted your office in Lexington, and they advised me to email you. Please advise. Thank you, Sylvia

Hi Dr.Seckel, I get a lot of blackheads and once they come out they leave an enlarged/scarred red pore, which can look really bad. What would you suggest I should do regarding this problem…Would Fraxel laser help me with the existing scarred pores? Thank you so much for your time. George, Toronto, Canada

Dear George,
Microdermabrasion is very effective skin exfoliation technique for controlling blackheads. The microdermabrasion treatment removes skin debris and dead skin cells that can block the pore and cause blackheads. After a microdermabrasion skin exfoliation oil, which has backed up in the pores, is released and over time as the unblocked oil glands become smaller pore […]

Dear Dr. Seckel, What is the most effective skin exfoliation method for removing facial wrinkles? I have tried face creams but they don’t work.

Dear Audrey,
Yes there is a very effective method for skin exfoliation to remove facial wrinkles with minimal down time. It is the MicroLaserPeel® is a laser skin rejuvenation peel using the Sciton Erbium laser.

“Dear Dr. Seckel, I heard about your fabulous new book “Save Your Face” and can’t wait to get a copy of it! I had a general question regarding skin creams. Since turning forty 2 years ago I have been using a glycolic acid cream (10%) on my face, thinking it was superior to tretinoin because I would get a little tingling feeling when applying it. I noticed you spoke about tretinoin as the best cream for facial wrinkles, but how do the alpha hydroxy acids, like glycolic acid, compare? Should I switch to RetinA? Thanks for any info you can provide!�? –Loriann, Billerica, MA

Dear Loriann,
Thank you for the email!
The alpha hydroxy acids, including glycolic acid are excellent skin rejuvenation, anti-aging skin products for age management and wrinkle removal, and I use them on everyone. I would keep using the one you use as a non-surgical facial rejuvenation program.
The tretinoins-RetinA and Tazarotine are a bit more powerful skin exfoliation […]
