As always, super informative! Thank you Dr Kappel

[@DrStefaniKappel]

Thank you!!

[@vivamertlich5069]

I got the travel set of your products. I LOVED the vitamin C and the retinol the most.

[@vivamertlich5069]

I like the cleanser a lot too.

[@DrStefaniKappel]

Amazing! Glad you like them!

[@ejbooks]

[@DrStefaniKappel]

So happy to hear that! Great seeing you as well!

[@milayalyuda1]

Wow !!! You are brilliant teacher , and look gooood

[@rambotheragdoll8940]

Please do a video on Sculptra vs Lanluma. Thank you.

[@Fishoutofwater427]

Do you recommend waiting and giving some time in between skin care products? Would a fan help avoid products blurring together and reducing their efficacy? Thanks for all you do!!

[@wjacoby4647]

What are your thoughts on injectable peptides, Dr. Kappeli? Are they secure? Do you think they're good for anti-aging?

[@barbaramcm8602]

Love your channel. ❤ What would be some great procedures for my 71 year young skin? Type 1 - 2 thin skin. Thank you doctor ❤

[@DrStefaniKappel]

I think laser re-surfacing is always a good choice ;)

[@barakah6107]

What is the best treatment for deep nose pores? Thank you.

[@joyceychang]

6:39 would love to have a list of mdaire product would love to have a list. I can screenshot. I find myself having to keep rewinding to see what products you mentioned

[@DrStefaniKappel]

We should have a KZbin shop you can look at, products are generally linked in the description, you can visit the website and most helpful reach out to the Mdaire team at [e-mail] and they can answer any and all questions as well as help you build a routine that works for your concerns and in your budget

[@fairuzastevenson9896]

Thank you

[@im-vanille5286]

I love you Dr. Stefani🫶🏻

[@DrStefaniKappel]

Love you too!

[@ejbooks]

I am 73 with great skin (had lasers in the past and used Retin-A since I was in my early 30’s and using Vitamin C for at least 10 years), my question is…. Can injection of Voluma and Sculptra still have results at my age? I had a series of Sculptra last year over several months and I believe I had some improvement… took pictures… but I don’t know if I am really seeing the same results as I saw years ago. I read that after a certain age these types of injections don’t work or last. What is your honest opinion? Thank you for all of your extremely helpful videos. Wish you were in Florida!

[@AM-zh7vg]

Your vitamin c serum is only one I can use that does not make my face inflamed

[@DrStefaniKappel]

I'm so glad to hear!!!

[@julesnicole7987]

I’ve been wanting to try her line so bad! I have the same issue. L-ascorbic acid Vitamin C serums usually inflames my skin. Makes me blotchy, itchy and swollen. Keep us updated on how your skin copes!

[@AliciaJ215]

What hair topper do you wear? Looks great!

[@DrStefaniKappel]

LOL it's not a hair topper but I have extensions. Watch my hair video from several months back. I use natural beaded row extensions.

[@blueseptember2174]

Would love to see a before and after of stretch marks to see if its worth doing

[@DrStefaniKappel]

I usually post those on IG but I can try to post on KZbin as well. Thank you!

[@acquiesce100]

Just ordered my second Mdaire eye cream. It’s pure gold. Best ever. Dr Kappell, what is the best CO2 for under eye laxity and wrinkles? Is fully ablative better at tightening and thickening the skin than fractional? I don’t mind about down time.

[@zhanastaleva4270]

Dr. Kappel, what is your opinion on facial fat transfer? Thanks.

[@moonlightlegend8502]

I'm 42 now and although I have oily skin and larger pores, I don't have any wrinkles. I have noticed some volume loss though. I was told that I'm ot eligible for ablative laser because I have fitzpatrick 4 skintone. I was wondering if treatments like Tixel and Microneedling RF actually have a comparable impact to something like fraxel or c02 laser for darker skintones.

[@rsmith5447]

Dr Kappel what do you use for perioral dermatitis in your kiddos? Anything otc you can recommend please? ❤

[@vivamertlich5069]

Dr Kappell are there any laser or energy based devices that can help with herniated fat pads under eyes?

[@amasterfuldesktop4935]

I bought altreno and have only ever used alpharet. Would you recommend discontinuing that for a few days pre-starting the altreno? Maybe go buy the lowest tret percent and work up to the altreno?

[@DrReedB0928]

I love Altreno!!

[@DrStefaniKappel]

Yes if starting Alfredo then take a break from Alpharet a few days before and after introducing it

[@KatarzynaSzymanska-xk5sf]

Dr. Stephani, you always tell us how good Fraxel laser is for skin rejuvenation, you got me interested in having a laser treatment. How do you know what the right setting is for a patient? ? What should a laser provider do before choosing the right setting? Do you just look at the skin of a patient and you already know ?

[@DrStefaniKappel]

It depends on many factors but an astute laser surgeon will know by looking at the skin and watching the endpoints of the laser

[@SummerDezz]

I’m thinking of being a dermatologist as my career but I’m not sure if I’m passionate enough to spend so many years of my life in school for this. Then again, I just thought of this like 10 minutes ago so maybe I shouldn’t worry lol.

[@Stevielynnofficial]

For one thing I love you and want to have you do my work for me one day!!! 🥰What can I use if I can’t use tretinoin? I have a weird side effect and it makes me have insomnia unfortunately. Thank you for all you share with us 💕

[@rambotheragdoll8940]

I had the same issue many years ago when I tried it. After seeing her I follow the advice to start with the lowest concentration cream (not gel) mixed with equal amount of her NMF hydrator only once a week and then increase the frequency slowly to determine my skin tolerance. I also use her skin cleanser because is so gentle. In 4 weeks I got to twice a week without any irritation. I only wish I knew this trick sooner.

[@DrStefaniKappel]

See below and thank you!!!

[@anusharma3351]

Please tell me the difference between alma hybrid laser and fraxel laser ? Which one is better?

[@DrStefaniKappel]

I like Fraxel better. Better results.

[@angelamarkopoyloy7546]

​@@DrStefaniKappelDoes that also apply for the alma fractionated i pixel?Is Fraxel better?

[@anusharma3351]

​@@DrStefaniKappel please tell me the difference 🙏

[@rjumand]

Hi beautiful ❤️ I have a question any estrogen cream can I use all have same formula? Please guide

[@AlekhyaParapathi]

What is the best skin treatment for diabetics?

[@lisavallejos3107]

Can you please do a video on the oxygen sensing role of the skin?

[@lisavallejos3107]

Dr. Luis Garza at Johns Hopkins School talks about it but YOU would explain it in a more understandable way. Oxidation as well.

[@blueseptember2174]

I never go to the dermatologist because im broke, so differin is my go to 😅❤

[@DrStefaniKappel]

Differin and sunscreen are great budget friendly options for healthy skin!

[@Ava-dk3by]

Hi Dr. Kappel ❤is Adapalene or Tretinoin better for dry skin prone to comedogenic acne and fine lines? Thank you In advance ❤

[@DrStefaniKappel]

I think adapalene may be a little better for comedonal acne

[@kristinek7436]

Thank you for all the information. I have a question. I don't have hyperpigmentation, despite my advanced age. If this isn't an issue, is there a better laser for aging skin than Dual Fraxel.? Thank you again.

[@DrStefaniKappel]

Fraxel dual is the best option in my opinion ;)

[@queenmarissa]

I love you. I'm a dietitian and I understand science and I'm obsessed with skin and nutrition and this stuff just lights me up. I love love LOVE learning about this. So excited to start getting lasers next year. I'm saving up my pennies. I'm 36 and I haven't had a lot of the effects of aging yet. People think I'm in my early 20s but I've really looked after my skin with simple zinc and good skin care. Question Doc. I'm Aussie and I live here in Australia. Do we need a higher level of zinc and iron oxides with our harsh sun? Most of ours here is 21% or higher but it's so heavy on the face! Don't get me wrong I've been using it for 20 years and I'll keep using it if I need to. But I've noticed that the mineral sunscreens from the US is much lower. What do you think, beauty? Xx❤❤ thank you for all you do. I'm obsessed with this content from an educational standpoint x

[@DrStefaniKappel]

Hi!! Nice to meet you! Yes I'd go with a high percent of Zinc and be religious about reapplying

[@queenmarissa]

@@DrStefaniKappel thank you so much Doc! I really appreciate this. Your work is so valuable 🥹🙏🏻❤️ sharing all around my neck of the woods. I'll keep using my zinc at 25% twice a day ☺️🫶🏻 thank you sm

[@i_am_thebatman]

I had a sunscreen from Amazon burn my skin creating chemical burns and fine lines I didn’t have before on June 1st . What can I do to fix them ? They are still there

[@DrStefaniKappel]

Was your face with mild cleanser and avoid actives for about a week but as always follow up with your doctor as I cannot make medical recommendations over KZbin

[@i_am_thebatman]

@@DrStefaniKappel it’s discouraging . I’m a 28 year old man who was always told that I looked 23 or 24 now people think I smoke or that I’m older or in my 30’s . I wish I could just find a way to return to what I looked like before I got burned.

[@jaderussell4616]

Can you talk about tixel please

[@yayain5349]

Hi dr! I was always thinking about to ask you if you have any News about your upper lip Experiment with thermage (to lift it higher)

[@DrStefaniKappel]

Yes it works well but for lip lift enhancement I like Ellacor as well

[@emelylynnheuser]

Just can't get over how beautiful you are thoooo❤
