Estrogen for your face: The BEST way to fight wrinkles and preserve healthy skin | Felice Gersh, MD

Video Description

Listen in while I share my secret trick for getting the most anti-wrinkle, healthy skin benefits from my Hormone Replacement Therapy. I'm a little embarrassed and maybe also a little flattered by how many people tell me that I have great skin. I have never had a face lift and I counsel patients to really weigh the potential benefits against the very real risks of going under anesthesia and having surgery. For me, my number one beauty technique that has really protected my skin has been estrogen. In this talk, I cover: * All the different skin cells and how they use estrogen * Giving estrogen to the skin in menopause * Wrinkles, collagen, and estrogen * Age spots and discoloration * Skin cancer * The importance of diet and gut health * Estriol as a good alternative to estradiol for those who need one And I explain my own skin care routine!
