Living Well with Troy Thompson: Skincare

(41NBC/WMGT) — Troy Thompson talks with with Dermatologist Dr. Pare to talk all about skin care on this edition of Living Well.

Dr. Pare says it’s never too early and it’s never too late to start thinking about skincare.

She describes the newest trend as “pre-juvenation”, where with younger patients in their 20s typically will visit to see what they can do to take care of their skin. According to Pare, they start with a skin analysis that guides patients towards appropriate skin care as the founding and cornerstone of anything as dermatologists do.

When appropriate, Pare says there are conversations about injectables like early botox, or even occasionally fillers. Dr. Pare emphasizes heavily that with skincare the number one go-to is to not forget your sunscreen, which is very important, but mentions that there are other important things that differ depending on skin type.
