And the difference isn't the injector. 0:19 And the difference isn't the injector. 0:19 And the difference isn't the injector. It's not the device. It's not even the 0:22 It's not the device. It's not even the 0:22 It's not the device. It's not even the product. It's whether the skin is being 0:24 product. It's whether the skin is being 0:24 product. It's whether the skin is being treated as an organ or just as a 0:27 treated as an organ or just as a 0:27 treated as an organ or just as a surface. 0:50 >> I'm Dr. Fred Bloom.

Skin as a biological mirror 1:07 stay with me. 1:07 stay with me. Early in my career, I noticed something 1:09 Early in my career, I noticed something 1:09 Early in my career, I noticed something that bothered me. Two patients, same 1:12 that bothered me. Two patients, same 1:12 that bothered me. Two patients, same age, same product, same technique. One 1:16 age, same product, same technique. One 1:16 age, same product, same technique. One looked vibrant and rested, the other 1:18 looked vibrant and rested, the other 1:18 looked vibrant and rested, the other looked swollen, tired, or barely 1:21 looked swollen, tired, or barely 1:21 looked swollen, tired, or barely changed. 1:22 changed. 1:22 changed. That's when it clicked. 1:25 That's when it clicked. 1:25 That's when it clicked. Skin reflects internal biology. You 1:28 Skin reflects internal biology. You 1:28 Skin reflects internal biology. You cannot out-inject chronic inflammation. 1:31 cannot out-inject chronic inflammation. 1:31 cannot out-inject chronic inflammation. You cannot out-laser hormonal imbalance. 1:35 You cannot out-laser hormonal imbalance. 1:35 You cannot out-laser hormonal imbalance. And you definitely can't mask 1:37 And you definitely can't mask 1:37 And you definitely can't mask mitochondrial dysfunction with filler. 1:40 mitochondrial dysfunction with filler. 1:40 mitochondrial dysfunction with filler. I've treated patients who kept chasing 1:42 I've treated patients who kept chasing 1:42 I've treated patients who kept chasing procedures until we addressed what was 1:45 procedures until we addressed what was 1:45 procedures until we addressed what was happening underneath. 1:47 happening underneath. 1:47 happening underneath. That's when results finally lasted. 1:50 That's when results finally lasted. 1:50 That's when results finally lasted. The skin is a biological mirror. 1:53 The skin is a biological mirror. 1:53 The skin is a biological mirror. Skin isn't cosmetic tissue. It's 1:56 Skin isn't cosmetic tissue. It's 1:56 Skin isn't cosmetic tissue. It's biologically active. It responds to 1:59 biologically active. It responds to 1:59 biologically active. It responds to hormones. It reflects immune function. 2:02 hormones. It reflects immune function. 2:02 hormones. It reflects immune function. It reacts to metabolic stress. 2:05 It reacts to metabolic stress. 2:05 It reacts to metabolic stress. What I see every week, low estrogen, 2:08 What I see every week, low estrogen, 2:08 What I see every week, low estrogen, thinning fragile skin, 2:09 thinning fragile skin, 2:10 thinning fragile skin, insulin resistance, sagging and 2:12 insulin resistance, sagging and 2:12 insulin resistance, sagging and dullness, chronic infections or mold, 2:15 dullness, chronic infections or mold, 2:15 dullness, chronic infections or mold, accelerated aging, 2:17 accelerated aging, 2:17 accelerated aging, poor detox, pigment, and inflammation. 2:20 poor detox, pigment, and inflammation. 2:20 poor detox, pigment, and inflammation. This is why I stopped separating
Bio-stimulation over fillers 2:22 This is why I stopped separating 2:22 This is why I stopped separating medicine and aesthetics. They were never 2:25 medicine and aesthetics. They were never 2:25 medicine and aesthetics. They were never meant to be separate. 2:28 meant to be separate. 2:28 meant to be separate. Volume replacement alone is yesterday's 2:31 Volume replacement alone is yesterday's 2:31 Volume replacement alone is yesterday's solution. 2:32 solution. 2:32 solution. The future is biostimulation. 2:35 The future is biostimulation. 2:35 The future is biostimulation. Teaching the skin to rebuild itself, 2:39 Teaching the skin to rebuild itself, 2:39 Teaching the skin to rebuild itself, improving structure, not just shape. 2:42 improving structure, not just shape. 2:42 improving structure, not just shape. In my practice, I focus on collagen 2:44 In my practice, I focus on collagen 2:44 In my practice, I focus on collagen signaling, vascular support, tissue 2:47 signaling, vascular support, tissue 2:47 signaling, vascular support, tissue quality, long-term skin integrity. 2:50 quality, long-term skin integrity. 2:50 quality, long-term skin integrity. When skin quality improves, less filler 2:53 When skin quality improves, less filler 2:53 When skin quality improves, less filler is needed. Botox lasts longer. 2:56 is needed. Botox lasts longer. 2:56 is needed. Botox lasts longer. Faces look natural, not done. 3:00 Faces look natural, not done. 3:00 Faces look natural, not done. Patients often say, 3:02 Patients often say, 3:02 Patients often say, "People tell me I look healthier." 3:04 "People tell me I look healthier." 3:04 "People tell me I look healthier." That's exactly the goal.
Hormonal health foundations 3:07 That's exactly the goal. 3:07 That's exactly the goal. One of the biggest blind spots in 3:09 One of the biggest blind spots in 3:09 One of the biggest blind spots in aesthetics is hormones. I see women with 3:12 aesthetics is hormones. I see women with 3:12 aesthetics is hormones. I see women with low estrogen whose skin simply won't 3:14 low estrogen whose skin simply won't 3:14 low estrogen whose skin simply won't respond. 3:15 respond. 3:15 respond. I see men with low testosterone losing 3:17 I see men with low testosterone losing 3:18 I see men with low testosterone losing their facial structure and resilience. I 3:20 their facial structure and resilience. I 3:20 their facial structure and resilience. I see cortisol excess destroying collagen 3:22 see cortisol excess destroying collagen 3:23 see cortisol excess destroying collagen faster than any sun damage. 3:25 faster than any sun damage. 3:25 faster than any sun damage. You can inject perfectly, but if the 3:27 You can inject perfectly, but if the 3:28 You can inject perfectly, but if the hormonal environment is wrong, the skin 3:31 hormonal environment is wrong, the skin 3:31 hormonal environment is wrong, the skin cannot rebuild. 3:33 cannot rebuild. 3:33 cannot rebuild. When we correct estrogen balance, 3:35 When we correct estrogen balance, 3:35 When we correct estrogen balance, support testosterone, and optimize 3:37 support testosterone, and optimize 3:37 support testosterone, and optimize thyroid function, skin starts behaving 3:40 thyroid function, skin starts behaving 3:40 thyroid function, skin starts behaving like younger skin again. 3:42 like younger skin again. 3:42 like younger skin again. That's when aesthetics becomes 3:44 That's when aesthetics becomes 3:45 That's when aesthetics becomes restorative. 3:46 restorative. 3:46 restorative. Inflammation is the real aging enemy.
Combating systemic inflammation 3:50 Inflammation is the real aging enemy. 3:50 Inflammation is the real aging enemy. Wrinkles are not the main problem. 3:52 Wrinkles are not the main problem. 3:52 Wrinkles are not the main problem. Inflammation is. Chronic low-grade 3:55 Inflammation is. Chronic low-grade 3:55 Inflammation is. Chronic low-grade inflammation breaks down collagen. It 3:57 inflammation breaks down collagen. It 3:57 inflammation breaks down collagen. It damages elastin. It worsens 4:00 damages elastin. It worsens 4:00 damages elastin. It worsens pigmentation. And it slows healing after 4:03 pigmentation. And it slows healing after 4:03 pigmentation. And it slows healing after procedures. 4:04 procedures. 4:04 procedures. Results improve dramatically when we 4:06 Results improve dramatically when we 4:07 Results improve dramatically when we reduce inflammatory foods, support detox 4:10 reduce inflammatory foods, support detox 4:10 reduce inflammatory foods, support detox pathways, address gut health. 4:13 pathways, address gut health. 4:13 pathways, address gut health. Correct micronutrient deficiencies. 4:16 Correct micronutrient deficiencies. 4:16 Correct micronutrient deficiencies. This is why some patients heal 4:17 This is why some patients heal 4:17 This is why some patients heal beautifully and others struggle. 4:20 beautifully and others struggle. 4:20 beautifully and others struggle. It's not luck. It's biology.
A thoughtful medical approach 4:23 It's not luck. It's biology. 4:23 It's not luck. It's biology. Here's what I see clearly. Less chasing 4:25 Here's what I see clearly. Less chasing 4:26 Here's what I see clearly. Less chasing lines, more restoring tissue 4:28 lines, more restoring tissue 4:28 lines, more restoring tissue intelligence. 4:30 intelligence. 4:30 intelligence. Fewer aggressive treatments. 4:32 Fewer aggressive treatments. 4:32 Fewer aggressive treatments. Better timing and sequencing. 4:35 Better timing and sequencing. 4:35 Better timing and sequencing. Smarter integration of medicine and 4:37 Smarter integration of medicine and 4:37 Smarter integration of medicine and aesthetics. 4:39 aesthetics. 4:39 aesthetics. The best results I see today look 4:41 The best results I see today look 4:41 The best results I see today look subtle, 4:42 subtle, 4:43 subtle, age well, and hold up over years. 4:47 age well, and hold up over years. 4:47 age well, and hold up over years. That's not trendy medicine. That's 4:49 That's not trendy medicine. That's 4:50 That's not trendy medicine. That's thoughtful medicine. 4:52 thoughtful medicine. 4:52 thoughtful medicine. This approach isn't for instant 4:54 This approach isn't for instant 4:54 This approach isn't for instant gratification. 4:56 gratification. 4:56 gratification. It's for people who say, "I want to look 4:58 It's for people who say, "I want to look 4:58 It's for people who say, "I want to look like myself again. 5:00 like myself again. 5:00 like myself again. I don't want to overdo this. I care 5:03 I don't want to overdo this. I care 5:03 I don't want to overdo this. I care about long-term results. If that's you, 5:06 about long-term results. If that's you, 5:06 about long-term results. If that's you, aesthetics should support your health, 5:08 aesthetics should support your health, 5:08 aesthetics should support your health, not fight against it. 5:11 not fight against it. 5:11 not fight against it. Aesthetics done well is not superficial. 5:14 Aesthetics done well is not superficial. 5:14 Aesthetics done well is not superficial. It's deeply medical. And when done 5:16 It's deeply medical. And when done 5:16 It's deeply medical. And when done right, it restores confidence without 5:19 right, it restores confidence without 5:19 right, it restores confidence without erasing identity. 5:22 erasing identity. 5:22 erasing identity.
