Speaker 5 (00:58):
Smart as I really really gifted position. I want to

which is when people come to you, they don't come

I trust you with my friends and relatives. I didn't
realize we were going to get the Michael Jordan of
Plastic Surgeons nine two to zero bows to this.
Speaker 6 (01:14):
Guide and welcome.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
This is Board certified plastic surgeon, doctor Arthur Perry, and
this is what's your wrinkle right here on WOR and
it's straight talk about cosmetic surgery in the podcast world
out there. And I hope you're all having a great weekend.
It's cold out here. We're broadcasting live from the Hamptons.
It's the winter that doesn't seem to want to end.
(01:38):
It's a forty something. It almost snowed today. It looked
like right, but oh, it's going to be warm real soon.
It was seventy a couple days ago in New York.
Those of you who are listening from outside of the
New York area. You have consistent weather. We've got bounced
back and forth. Well, I think it'll be spring real soon.
But this is not the weather show. This is the
(01:58):
show about cosmetic surgery. This is the show about you.
This is the show about your wrinkles, about your jowls,
about your turkey gobblers. I just saw some turkeys outside
this building. Yeah, this is the show about fat hips.
That's what it is. It's about how I fix fat
on hips. And the show about sagging breasts and large
(02:20):
breasts and small breasts and how we shape the breasts.
This is the plastic Surgery show here on WOOR. I'm
a board certified plastic surgeon, hosts of this show for
nearly twenty years. And in the studio is Noah. I
am out in the hills of the Hamptons this weekend
broadcasting live.
Speaker 6 (02:38):
So give me a call.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the
phone number here at WR eight hundred three two one
zero seven ten. We're going to be giving out bottles
of Daytime. Why daytime daytime? Well, that is the morning
Skin Protector. Yes, it is an SPF. And do you
need an SPF today, no, but you might need one
(03:00):
in a week. If the UV index goes over three,
you'll need an SPF. This is SPF twenty with zinc oxide.
But more importantly right now, it's got niacinamide in it.
Niosinamide is vitamin B three. It's got pantofenic acid that's
vitamin B five. And those are your specific antidotes to
(03:20):
the irritation that retinoids cause. Lots of big words, right
what are retinoids? Vitamin A, Vitamin A. A lot of
you use those. If you use retina that's a prescription drug.
If you use retinol, which is in many products Johnson
and Johnson products and others. If you use retinaldehyde, which
is in some looreal products. If you use retineal propion eight,
(03:44):
which is the hardest to pronounce, one which is in
my product called Nighttime. Those are all retinoids, and they're
really good for your skin. Doesn't matter which one you use.
If you use a retinoid, more than likely you're gonna
get a little bit of irritation of your skin. You'll
get that syndrome home of a little bit of redness
and a little bit of a swelling of your skin
and some flaking of the skin. That's why I advise
(04:07):
my patients to go slowly with the retinoids and get
your skin adapted to them. And if you do that,
you probably won't go through that period of redness and irritation.
Speaker 6 (04:17):
But if you do.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
The antidote is niacinamide and pantothenic acid, which I have
in my mourning product, which is called Daytime, which is
why they're kind of like bookends in a skincare program.
It's a very simple skincare program nighttime. At night we've
got vitamin C, vitamin A, fruit acids, antioxidant, skin brighteners,
(04:38):
things like that. In the nighttime it's the powerhouse of
the program. And in the morning we use things that
calm your skin and protect your skin for the onslaught
of all the damage that the day will bring, whether
it's ultraviolet light or pollutants in the air or other
products you might put on your skin. So that's what
my skincare program is all about. And you can get
(04:59):
a bottle of Daytime if you give me a call
and ask a good question. Can't be just hey, doctor
Perry calling to get my free Daytime. We can't do
it that way, but I can give you a bottle
if you've got a question for me. So today we
are going to talk about you. We're gonna talk about
how about some fun things with your skin? Have you
(05:20):
ever heard of red light therapy to the work? We'll
talk about that on the show Tonight. We're going to
talk about a warning about skin lighteners. Not my skin lighteners,
but skin lighteners that contain mercury. They're out there again.
The New York City Department of Health is issue day
warning and we'll talk a little.
Speaker 6 (05:41):
Bit about that.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
And yeah, it's the continuation of lipos suction season. You
thought it was spring training or the baseball season. No, no, no,
it's it's lipos suction that season. So that's what we're
going to talk about today. And I'm a board certified
plastic surgeon, So go ahead give me a call if
you've got I say you're going to have a facelift.
I'm doing a facelift later this week. Let's say you're
(06:03):
going to have a facelift this week and you're just
not sure your plastic surgeon did not go over the
details of what you're supposed to be doing before or
after give me a call, I'd be happy to talk
about that.
Speaker 6 (06:14):
Or if you maybe out a consult.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
With someone else and you're really confused, or maybe you
just don't know what to do about those early wrinkles
on your face, this is the show to call, eight
hundred and three to one zero seven ten. So New
York City issued a warning about skin lightning products that
contain mercury. I've been talking about this for years. In fact,
(06:37):
there were papers published in twenty eleven about this. But
it is amazing to me that unscrupulous companies usually not
in the United States. They are in other countries, and
they produce these skin lighteners that contain mercury. Now, they're effective,
they will lighten your skin, but they will also do
terrible things to you. They're extremely toxic to your kidneys.
(07:01):
In fact, mercury poisoning is something that can drive you
to dialysis. Yeah, it can also affect developing fetuses. So
if you are pregnant, heaven forbid you use these products,
immediately start using them. The New York City Department of
Health they found twenty two different skin lightning products, including
(07:23):
fifteen They came from Pakistan to from Thailand, and they
had elevated amounts of mercury. There's no amount of mercury
that's considered safe. These products are sold over the counter
and stores and they can we talk about no amount
that's safe. Well, there's thirty thousand times the allowable amount.
They shouldn't allow any but you know there's trace amounts
(07:45):
that you can't get out of some things that are harmless,
but thirty thousand times the allowable amount in these different products.
Don't use them if you you know, if you see
these things, you want to know what your skin brighteners have.
The problem is a lot of them don't even list mercury,
So how are you supposed to know? That is why
you know the New York City Department Health is trying
(08:07):
to go and find these products. There are eighteen one
hundred and twenty products that were removed from store shelves
over the last couple of weeks, twenty two different products,
eighteen hundred and twenty boxes of these products or bottle.
So be careful out there. There are skin brighteners that
make a difference in my nighttime. I've got vitamin C,
(08:29):
very safe, vitamin A, very safe, licorice extract that's a
good one. At'll lighten your skin and milk thistle. Those
are for very effective skin brighteners. They function by decreasing
the amount of melanin pigment that is produced in your skin.
Of course, hydroquinone is the gold standard, but that is
(08:50):
now not over the counter.
Speaker 6 (08:52):
It requires a prescription. Four percent hydro.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Quinone is a very effective skin lightener, but you're really
only supposed to use it for a couple months, maybe
three months, maybe four at the most, because it can
be toxic after that. And the funny thing about skin
brighteners is if you need those, and when we talk
about skin brighteners those are euphemisms. We're usually using those
(09:15):
either to lighten your actual skin color or even out
your skin tone if you've got splotchy pigmentation. The problem
with the prescription versions that are potentially toxic, or glue
to thione, which does work apparently, but it is there's
no safety data none whatsoever, whether it's placed on the skin,
taken orally or those places. There are places in Manhattan
(09:38):
that will give you glue to thione intravenously.
Speaker 6 (09:41):
It is very dangerous. Don't do that.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Don't do that, you know, don't take things in your
body that are unproven or potentially harmful. Not a good idea,
particularly for cosmetic reasons. But the things that are very
safe for vitamin C, vitamin A, they're not too sexy,
but they do work. They take months and months and
months to even out your skin tone. You'll need a
(10:04):
skin SPF protector while you're using those. All right, we're
gonna take a short break. I'm Board certified plastic surgeon,
doctor Arthur Perry, host of What's Your Wrinkle eight hundred
three two one zero seven ten.
Speaker 6 (10:17):
Will be back after these words.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Did you know that your skincare may be hurting you
more than helping you. I'm Board certified plastic surgeon, doctor
Arthur Perry. The foundation for looking good is clean, healthy skin.
So I've created a program that is so simple that
everyone can stay on it long enough to see real results.
It starts with an incredible skin cleaner called clean Time.
(10:47):
It's actually good for your skin. Protect your skin with
my Daytime SPF twenty cream in the evening, feed your
skin with my Powerhouse Nighttime serum. Nighttime has vitamin CNA
antioxide and skin brighteners. And if you like moisturizers, well,
I've created soft Time with seramides and vitamin D. Throw
away the bags of useless products and try doctor Perry's Skincare.
(11:11):
Join the thousands of people whose skin is healthier. That's
doctor Perry's Skincare on Amazon dot com. And don't forget
to listen to my radio show right here on WOAR.
Every Saturday evening at six pm.
Speaker 7 (11:23):
You are listening to What's Your Wrinkle with doctor Arthur Perry.
What's Your Wrinkle?
Speaker 6 (11:28):
And We're back.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
I'm BORD certified classic surgeon, doctor Arthur Perry, host of
What's Your Wrinkle right here on WOOR, host of straight
talk about cosmetic surgery. If you are listening to your podcast,
and thank you for listening. Tell your friends please that
there is this cosmetic surgery podcast out there.
Speaker 6 (11:46):
And we talk about We give it straight. You know.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
I tell you what I really think works, you know,
and it might not be politically correct.
Speaker 6 (11:54):
You know.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Everybody wants all these things like red light therapy and
memes that are magical. But I try and tell you
what really works, what really doesn't work in my opinion,
and it is my opinion, but based on a lot
of reading. I read a lot of the literature and
before I come out and tell you something. I will
(12:15):
have researched it fully. So and by the way, you know,
I'm a real doctor. I'm a real plastic surgeon. I've
got offices in Manhattan on eighty fifth and Park Avenue.
I've got an office in Somerset, New Jersey. We're still
seeing patients there. And now I am at well By Messer,
which is a great practice of endocrinologists and internists. There's urologists,
(12:37):
there's gynecologists, and personal trainers and nutritionists. Well By Messer
is a wonderful practice. I'm so happy to join it.
And I'm the plastic surgeon doing things like boatox and
fillers and all sorts of other procedures anything you can
have in my office, I'm going to be doing also
at well By Messer. And that's on sixthieth Street between
Park and Lexington. So come and see me. And yeah,
(13:02):
so when when I talk about these things, I'm a
real doctor, you have to remember that unless you're my patient. Yeah,
you know, I can't be your doctor right, not on
the radio. You can't listen to what I'd say and
take it as gospel. You have to take it as
kind of information like anything out there. Uh, and it
may pertain to you, it may not pertain to you.
(13:23):
But if you've got a specific medical issue, you've got
to ask your own doctor. Don't just change your therapy
based on what I tell you. But maybe I'll give
you some information to ask your doctor about on this show.
All right, So I do want to mention this drug
called it's hard to pronounce.
Speaker 6 (13:42):
Turbin turbin abulin.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
You know, I can't even pronounce it's one of that's
the generic name turbana bulin that is actually a very
effective skin lightener and it's also used for actinic keratosis,
which are pre malignant lesions. So it's pretty effective at
lightning the skin also. But why don't people use it? Well,
it's about one thousand dollars a month. It's a prescription drug.
(14:10):
Maybe at some point it will become you know, generic,
I don't know when the patent is up. When it does,
it'll probably be a lot cheaper and you might be
able to get a prescription for that. But it seems
to be pretty effective and pretty safe. Also, so you
heard it first here, but I can't pronounce it. Turbin
a bulein t I R B A N I b
(14:33):
U L I N. You can ask your dermatologists for
a prescription, but be prepared to pay out of pocket.
Insurance is not going to cover that one if you
want to spend one thousand dollars a month. I think
there's better ways to get skin lightening. But it's really
prescribed for actinakeratosis, which are are pre malignant things that
(14:53):
grow on your skin. And what they found in the
studies a side effect was evening out skin tone. It's
like so many side effects of drugs. That's how they
found monoxidil for hair growth, right, it was a side
effect of a anti hypertensive. And they found the botox
getting rid of wrinkles. That was a side effect of
(15:13):
this drug injected for spasms of the muscles around the eye.
So observant researchers and doctors have found a lot of
interesting other uses for drugs. So yeah, one thousand bucks
a tube for that one. The brand name is I
can't even pronounce this one either, cly siri. I don't
(15:35):
know where they get these brand names.
Speaker 6 (15:37):
All right, So skin lightning, how about green Tea extract
ec GC. It works.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
It's a pretty effective and very very safe method. Of
lightening your skin if you can find it in a
skin cream. Maybe maybe not. I actually have just patented
one of those, so you might see one of those
with me in the future. All right, red light therapy.
Have you heard about that one? Red light therapy. It's
(16:08):
they say that it does all sorts of things for
the skin. Maybe it decreases wrinkles, maybe it makes your
skin look younger. But the question is what is it?
What's red light therapy. There's also green light therapy. This
is low level therapy. They're selling these machines now with
great expectations that they help all sorts of things in
(16:29):
your skin, you know, with conditions of the skin combined
with other therapies. Some of these things really do work.
But what they're marketing green and red light therapy for
now are things like hair loss and wrinkles and things
like that.
Speaker 6 (16:45):
So the question is do they work?
Speaker 3 (16:48):
You know, I read the papers and I'll tell you something.
I am not convinced. I'm not gonna make friends out there.
I am not convinced. When we come back from our break,
we're going to talk a little bit more about this
one read in green light therapy and whether or not
it works. I'm board certified plastic surgeon, doctor Arthur Perry,
host of What's Your Rinkle eight hundred three two one
(17:09):
zero seven ten.
Speaker 6 (17:10):
We'll be back after these words.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
They say that sixty is the new fifty, But while
you may feel and act fifty, the mirror doesn't lie.
But that's where plastic surgery comes in. I'm board certified
plastic surgeon, doctor Arthur Perry, and I love helping patients
look younger and better. If you've got sagging cheeks, jowls,
and that dreaded turkey gobbler, it might be time for
a little nip and a tuck. You look more rested
(17:37):
and yes, younger. With my short scar facelift and the
artistic injection of wrinkle filler or a laser peel, well,
that might be just what it takes to get you
looking as good as you feel. Let's sit down for
an hour consultation in my new Park Avenue office. Together
we'll come up with a plan to help you look
your best. Give me a call at eight three three
Perry MD. That's a three three pe r R one.
(18:00):
Check me out on the web at periplastic surgery dot com,
and don't forget to listen to me doctor Arthur Perry,
every Saturday evening at six pm. Right here on WOR.
Speaker 7 (18:11):
You're listening to What's Your Wrinkle with doctor Arthur Perry,
What's your Wrinkle?
Speaker 3 (18:16):
And we're back on Bard Certified Plastic searchon doctor Arthur Perry,
host of What's Your Wrinkle right here on WOR. So,
here's the thing about red light therapy. You know, it's
very difficult for you as a consumer to understand the
science and when when companies advertise, well something works dramatically,
you believe them, right. But okay, so here's one paper
(18:38):
that was published that was in the Archives of Germanologic
Research August of twenty four and.
Speaker 6 (18:46):
Here it is.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Here's the title. It says, outstanding user reported satisfaction for
light emitted emitting diodes under I rejuvenation. Okay, what does
that mean? So these LEDs red light LEDs to rejuvenate
the under eye and you look at that and they
that's the title, well reported satisfaction. Well, guess what if
(19:08):
you really get into the paper, the wrinkles were reduced
the wrinkle score Are you ready.
Speaker 6 (19:14):
For this one?
Speaker 3 (19:14):
From twenty point zero five to nineteen point seventy two
on a scale of zero one hundred, So the wrinkles
twenty point zero five to nineteen point seven two in
eleven patients.
Speaker 6 (19:28):
Are you kidding me here? Now?
Speaker 3 (19:30):
You don't have to be a scientist to realize that
that is a minuscule difference, and if one person has,
you know, one little change, it's.
Speaker 6 (19:40):
Going to skew the results.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
They said the finding was not statistically significant, which doesn't
surprise me. But that doesn't stop companies from advertising this
therapy and selling you these devices. So please be careful
out there. Don't waste your money on things that don't work.
We've got Lisa on the line. Lisa, what're kind of
you view? What is your wrinkle?
Speaker 5 (20:00):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (20:01):
Thank you for taking my call. Doc to Perry. I'm
ready for some improvement under the you know, subject of
cosmetic surgery. Like I'm at an age where I feel great.
I'm in great shape, but my face it doesn't look
like me anymore, so i'd lucky for a consultation. I'm
(20:21):
sixty two, which I can't believe I was saying those
two numbers together. But I feel great. I walk every day,
I eat really well, so praise God, you know, I'm
in excellent health, and I don't want to say I'm skinny,
but I'm like one hundred and twenty pounds five four
and I'm always getting a little hanks when the trucker
is driving, and I love that because I'm so old fashioned.
(20:43):
I tell my husband the truckers hanks and he says, well,
get out of the road.
Speaker 6 (20:49):
There you go. All right?
Speaker 3 (20:50):
So what can I do for you, Lisa? What what
is your issue?
Speaker 7 (20:56):
Sure? Okay? I would well, first of all, I am
in New York, so I would love to see you
for a console of sometime soon, if you will have me.
One of my main annoyances is those vertical lines that
occur over the upper lips. And I wondered if I
was to, you know, be right for a cosmetic, say facelift,
(21:18):
would that help a little with the upper vertical lip lines.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
So in an answer, short answer is no. Facelifts are
great procedures and I do them all the time.
Speaker 6 (21:30):
I'm doing one this week.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
They are mostly for the jowls. The jowls are the
sagging cheek tissue that kind of obscures your nice, youthful jawline.
They're also very useful for the turkey gobbler. You know,
we have all these great terms for these things, the
hanging skin of the neck, the bands of the neck,
fat of the neck, things like that, so they're less
(21:54):
useful for fine wrinkles. They will tighten a bit nasalabial
folds and marriannettelines, but they won't get rid of them completely.
Speaker 6 (22:04):
But when you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Those vertical lines around your mouth, those are from decades
of talking, decades of drinking through a straw, hopefully not smoking,
kissing whenever you use the muscle called the orbicularis orus.
That's the circular muscle around the mouth that allows you
to grip things with your lips, but it also causes
(22:28):
those spokes of the wheel wrinkles. I think though, those
are the ones you're talking about, right, yes, Sam, Yeah, So.
Speaker 6 (22:36):
Those wrinkles we don't treat with surgery. We treat in
different ways.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
So the way that I like to do that's bad, anglist.
The method that I like to use is with the
injection of holuronic acid filler, things like restalane and juvederm.
And I've developed a technique. In fact, I taught it
last week. I gave my demonstration to the residents at Cornella, Columbia,
(23:02):
where I teach, and I teach them my technique of
how I like to fill wrinkles and rejuvenate the mouth
without getting duck lips and without getting distortion and without
getting lumps. And I try and make it pain free
by numbing you up like a dentist does.
Speaker 6 (23:21):
And I inject.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Each and every one of those little wrinkles multiple times
like a little sewing machine, going along the wrinkles with
micro droplets of this filler material. And then after I
do that, I then re establish what's called the vermilion border.
That's the border between the red and the white of
your lip. It goes away. If you're sixty two, Lisa,
(23:42):
if you run your finger along from your nose to
your lip, you probably won't feel that little border anymore.
Speaker 6 (23:49):
Right, got to do it?
Speaker 7 (23:51):
I'll wait, I'm doing it.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
Yeah, hard to feel.
Speaker 7 (23:54):
Do you have a daughter, Yeah, but I do have
a lot of nieces.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Okay, if you go up twenty of your knees, is
sneak up on them. If they're about twenty or thirty
years old, you don't sneak up on them. You'll run
your finger down the top lip from the nose to
the lip, and you will feel that ridge in a
twenty year old. It goes away somewhere in your late
forties fifties. And when that ridge goes away, it accelerates
(24:21):
the development of those spokes of the wheel wrinkles around
your lips. So I re establish that with a little
bit of rest lane also, And the peaks, the two
peaks of your upper lip, called the cupid's boat, they
go away also, and I put those back. And the
ridges between your nose and your lip. You probably don't
have those anymore. They're called the filteral ridges. I put
(24:43):
those back, and all together, those moves, those fillers make
your lips look better. I usually put a little tiny
bit of filler in your lip just to restore the volume,
not to make your lips all that much bigger, but
to restore the volume that you lost over time. And
then I'll fill the NAIs a laby and the marionettelines
and even out your jawline. And I'll usually put a
(25:04):
little bit in your ear lobes and plump those out
a bit. And it's a very comprehensive treatment. It takes
about an hour an hour and fifteen minutes and that's
what I do for that. If you need a facelift,
that's for the jowls and the neck, and that's a rejuvenation.
But in a consultation, Lisa, I'd be happy to see you.
We sit down, we talk for an hour, and we
go over everything from skincare to the facelift and beyond.
(25:29):
I want to thank you. The clock is beginning to
pull us away. It's only a half hour show now.
I really need to get back to an hour, don't I.
But Lisa, thank you so much for giving me a call.
I hope to see you in the office. And Noah,
once again, thanks for great engineering. The website is Periplastic
surgery dot com. And if you're listening to this show
and you want to listen on Wednesday morning, you can
(25:49):
do that in a podcast. iHeart podcast Apple podcasts. Hey listen,
I'm going to be on Mark Simone at ten forty
on Friday this week. Listen in because I'm gonna bring
my Boatox there and see if I can do it
live on the air. Let's see if Mark lets me
do that ten forty Friday morning. Noah, thanks again for
(26:10):
great engineering. We'll see everybody next week. Bye bye.

Well Doctor Arthur Perry, he's one of the top plastic surgeons.
He's got offices in Manhattan, New Jersey. You know what,
He's been doing the show here on w R for
years and years and years. Very popular show and a
great plastic surgeon. Everybody has questions on this subject, so
he's the guy to ask.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Doctor Arthur Perry, and the public wants to know that
public doesn't get a damn.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
And I went to his office and I said, I said,

Speaker 5 (00:49):
Surgery, workable knowledge, but also your grace at delivering content,
which is why it's been a blessing to have you
on my show so many times.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
When I was a resident at the University of Chicago,
we had a me you.
Speaker 5 (00:58):
Smart as I really really gifted position. I want to
pay you the highest trut I can give to a surgeon,
which is when people come to you, they don't come
for an operation, they come for opinion. And that's why
I trust you with my friends and relatives. I didn't
realize we were going to get the Michael Jordan of
Plastic Surgeons nine two to zero bows to this.
Speaker 6 (01:14):
Guide and welcome.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
This is Board certified plastic surgeon, doctor Arthur Perry, and
this is what's your wrinkle right here on WOR and
it's straight talk about cosmetic surgery in the podcast world
out there. And I hope you're all having a great weekend.
It's cold out here. We're broadcasting live from the Hamptons.
It's the winter that doesn't seem to want to end.
(01:38):
It's a forty something. It almost snowed today. It looked
like right, but oh, it's going to be warm real soon.
It was seventy a couple days ago in New York.
Those of you who are listening from outside of the
New York area. You have consistent weather. We've got bounced
back and forth. Well, I think it'll be spring real soon.
But this is not the weather show. This is the
(01:58):
show about cosmetic surgery. This is the show about you.
This is the show about your wrinkles, about your jowls,
about your turkey gobblers. I just saw some turkeys outside
this building. Yeah, this is the show about fat hips.
That's what it is. It's about how I fix fat
on hips. And the show about sagging breasts and large
(02:20):
breasts and small breasts and how we shape the breasts.
This is the plastic Surgery show here on WOOR. I'm
a board certified plastic surgeon, hosts of this show for
nearly twenty years. And in the studio is Noah. I
am out in the hills of the Hamptons this weekend
broadcasting live.
Speaker 6 (02:38):
So give me a call.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the
phone number here at WR eight hundred three two one
zero seven ten. We're going to be giving out bottles
of Daytime. Why daytime daytime? Well, that is the morning
Skin Protector. Yes, it is an SPF. And do you
need an SPF today, no, but you might need one
(03:00):
in a week. If the UV index goes over three,
you'll need an SPF. This is SPF twenty with zinc oxide.
But more importantly right now, it's got niacinamide in it.
Niosinamide is vitamin B three. It's got pantofenic acid that's
vitamin B five. And those are your specific antidotes to
(03:20):
the irritation that retinoids cause. Lots of big words, right
what are retinoids? Vitamin A, Vitamin A. A lot of
you use those. If you use retina that's a prescription drug.
If you use retinol, which is in many products Johnson
and Johnson products and others. If you use retinaldehyde, which
is in some looreal products. If you use retineal propion eight,
(03:44):
which is the hardest to pronounce, one which is in
my product called Nighttime. Those are all retinoids, and they're
really good for your skin. Doesn't matter which one you use.
If you use a retinoid, more than likely you're gonna
get a little bit of irritation of your skin. You'll
get that syndrome home of a little bit of redness
and a little bit of a swelling of your skin
and some flaking of the skin. That's why I advise
(04:07):
my patients to go slowly with the retinoids and get
your skin adapted to them. And if you do that,
you probably won't go through that period of redness and irritation.
Speaker 6 (04:17):
But if you do.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
The antidote is niacinamide and pantothenic acid, which I have
in my mourning product, which is called Daytime, which is
why they're kind of like bookends in a skincare program.
It's a very simple skincare program nighttime. At night we've
got vitamin C, vitamin A, fruit acids, antioxidant, skin brighteners,
(04:38):
things like that. In the nighttime it's the powerhouse of
the program. And in the morning we use things that
calm your skin and protect your skin for the onslaught
of all the damage that the day will bring, whether
it's ultraviolet light or pollutants in the air or other
products you might put on your skin. So that's what
my skincare program is all about. And you can get
(04:59):
a bottle of Daytime if you give me a call
and ask a good question. Can't be just hey, doctor
Perry calling to get my free Daytime. We can't do
it that way, but I can give you a bottle
if you've got a question for me. So today we
are going to talk about you. We're gonna talk about
how about some fun things with your skin? Have you
(05:20):
ever heard of red light therapy to the work? We'll
talk about that on the show Tonight. We're going to
talk about a warning about skin lighteners. Not my skin lighteners,
but skin lighteners that contain mercury. They're out there again.
The New York City Department of Health is issue day
warning and we'll talk a little.
Speaker 6 (05:41):
Bit about that.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
And yeah, it's the continuation of lipos suction season. You
thought it was spring training or the baseball season. No, no, no,
it's it's lipos suction that season. So that's what we're
going to talk about today. And I'm a board certified
plastic surgeon, So go ahead give me a call if
you've got I say you're going to have a facelift.
I'm doing a facelift later this week. Let's say you're
(06:03):
going to have a facelift this week and you're just
not sure your plastic surgeon did not go over the
details of what you're supposed to be doing before or
after give me a call, I'd be happy to talk
about that.
Speaker 6 (06:14):
Or if you maybe out a consult.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
With someone else and you're really confused, or maybe you
just don't know what to do about those early wrinkles
on your face, this is the show to call, eight
hundred and three to one zero seven ten. So New
York City issued a warning about skin lightning products that
contain mercury. I've been talking about this for years. In fact,
(06:37):
there were papers published in twenty eleven about this. But
it is amazing to me that unscrupulous companies usually not
in the United States. They are in other countries, and
they produce these skin lighteners that contain mercury. Now, they're effective,
they will lighten your skin, but they will also do
terrible things to you. They're extremely toxic to your kidneys.
(07:01):
In fact, mercury poisoning is something that can drive you
to dialysis. Yeah, it can also affect developing fetuses. So
if you are pregnant, heaven forbid you use these products,
immediately start using them. The New York City Department of
Health they found twenty two different skin lightning products, including
(07:23):
fifteen They came from Pakistan to from Thailand, and they
had elevated amounts of mercury. There's no amount of mercury
that's considered safe. These products are sold over the counter
and stores and they can we talk about no amount
that's safe. Well, there's thirty thousand times the allowable amount.
They shouldn't allow any but you know there's trace amounts
(07:45):
that you can't get out of some things that are harmless,
but thirty thousand times the allowable amount in these different products.
Don't use them if you you know, if you see
these things, you want to know what your skin brighteners have.
The problem is a lot of them don't even list mercury,
So how are you supposed to know? That is why
you know the New York City Department Health is trying
(08:07):
to go and find these products. There are eighteen one
hundred and twenty products that were removed from store shelves
over the last couple of weeks, twenty two different products,
eighteen hundred and twenty boxes of these products or bottle.
So be careful out there. There are skin brighteners that
make a difference in my nighttime. I've got vitamin C,
(08:29):
very safe, vitamin A, very safe, licorice extract that's a
good one. At'll lighten your skin and milk thistle. Those
are for very effective skin brighteners. They function by decreasing
the amount of melanin pigment that is produced in your skin.
Of course, hydroquinone is the gold standard, but that is
(08:50):
now not over the counter.
Speaker 6 (08:52):
It requires a prescription. Four percent hydro.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Quinone is a very effective skin lightener, but you're really
only supposed to use it for a couple months, maybe
three months, maybe four at the most, because it can
be toxic after that. And the funny thing about skin
brighteners is if you need those, and when we talk
about skin brighteners those are euphemisms. We're usually using those
(09:15):
either to lighten your actual skin color or even out
your skin tone if you've got splotchy pigmentation. The problem
with the prescription versions that are potentially toxic, or glue
to thione, which does work apparently, but it is there's
no safety data none whatsoever, whether it's placed on the skin,
taken orally or those places. There are places in Manhattan
(09:38):
that will give you glue to thione intravenously.
Speaker 6 (09:41):
It is very dangerous. Don't do that.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Don't do that, you know, don't take things in your
body that are unproven or potentially harmful. Not a good idea,
particularly for cosmetic reasons. But the things that are very
safe for vitamin C, vitamin A, they're not too sexy,
but they do work. They take months and months and
months to even out your skin tone. You'll need a
(10:04):
skin SPF protector while you're using those. All right, we're
gonna take a short break. I'm Board certified plastic surgeon,
doctor Arthur Perry, host of What's Your Wrinkle eight hundred
three two one zero seven ten.
Speaker 6 (10:17):
Will be back after these words.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Did you know that your skincare may be hurting you
more than helping you. I'm Board certified plastic surgeon, doctor
Arthur Perry. The foundation for looking good is clean, healthy skin.
So I've created a program that is so simple that
everyone can stay on it long enough to see real results.
It starts with an incredible skin cleaner called clean Time.
(10:47):
It's actually good for your skin. Protect your skin with
my Daytime SPF twenty cream in the evening, feed your
skin with my Powerhouse Nighttime serum. Nighttime has vitamin CNA
antioxide and skin brighteners. And if you like moisturizers, well,
I've created soft Time with seramides and vitamin D. Throw
away the bags of useless products and try doctor Perry's Skincare.
(11:11):
Join the thousands of people whose skin is healthier. That's
doctor Perry's Skincare on Amazon dot com. And don't forget
to listen to my radio show right here on WOAR.
Every Saturday evening at six pm.
Speaker 7 (11:23):
You are listening to What's Your Wrinkle with doctor Arthur Perry.
What's Your Wrinkle?
Speaker 6 (11:28):
And We're back.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
I'm BORD certified classic surgeon, doctor Arthur Perry, host of
What's Your Wrinkle right here on WOOR, host of straight
talk about cosmetic surgery. If you are listening to your podcast,
and thank you for listening. Tell your friends please that
there is this cosmetic surgery podcast out there.
Speaker 6 (11:46):
And we talk about We give it straight. You know.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
I tell you what I really think works, you know,
and it might not be politically correct.
Speaker 6 (11:54):
You know.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Everybody wants all these things like red light therapy and
memes that are magical. But I try and tell you
what really works, what really doesn't work in my opinion,
and it is my opinion, but based on a lot
of reading. I read a lot of the literature and
before I come out and tell you something. I will
(12:15):
have researched it fully. So and by the way, you know,
I'm a real doctor. I'm a real plastic surgeon. I've
got offices in Manhattan on eighty fifth and Park Avenue.
I've got an office in Somerset, New Jersey. We're still
seeing patients there. And now I am at well By Messer,
which is a great practice of endocrinologists and internists. There's urologists,
(12:37):
there's gynecologists, and personal trainers and nutritionists. Well By Messer
is a wonderful practice. I'm so happy to join it.
And I'm the plastic surgeon doing things like boatox and
fillers and all sorts of other procedures anything you can
have in my office, I'm going to be doing also
at well By Messer. And that's on sixthieth Street between
Park and Lexington. So come and see me. And yeah,
(13:02):
so when when I talk about these things, I'm a
real doctor, you have to remember that unless you're my patient. Yeah,
you know, I can't be your doctor right, not on
the radio. You can't listen to what I'd say and
take it as gospel. You have to take it as
kind of information like anything out there. Uh, and it
may pertain to you, it may not pertain to you.
(13:23):
But if you've got a specific medical issue, you've got
to ask your own doctor. Don't just change your therapy
based on what I tell you. But maybe I'll give
you some information to ask your doctor about on this show.
All right, So I do want to mention this drug
called it's hard to pronounce.
Speaker 6 (13:42):
Turbin turbin abulin.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
You know, I can't even pronounce it's one of that's
the generic name turbana bulin that is actually a very
effective skin lightener and it's also used for actinic keratosis,
which are pre malignant lesions. So it's pretty effective at
lightning the skin also. But why don't people use it? Well,
it's about one thousand dollars a month. It's a prescription drug.
(14:10):
Maybe at some point it will become you know, generic,
I don't know when the patent is up. When it does,
it'll probably be a lot cheaper and you might be
able to get a prescription for that. But it seems
to be pretty effective and pretty safe. Also, so you
heard it first here, but I can't pronounce it. Turbin
a bulein t I R B A N I b
(14:33):
U L I N. You can ask your dermatologists for
a prescription, but be prepared to pay out of pocket.
Insurance is not going to cover that one if you
want to spend one thousand dollars a month. I think
there's better ways to get skin lightening. But it's really
prescribed for actinakeratosis, which are are pre malignant things that
(14:53):
grow on your skin. And what they found in the
studies a side effect was evening out skin tone. It's
like so many side effects of drugs. That's how they
found monoxidil for hair growth, right, it was a side
effect of a anti hypertensive. And they found the botox
getting rid of wrinkles. That was a side effect of
(15:13):
this drug injected for spasms of the muscles around the eye.
So observant researchers and doctors have found a lot of
interesting other uses for drugs. So yeah, one thousand bucks
a tube for that one. The brand name is I
can't even pronounce this one either, cly siri. I don't
(15:35):
know where they get these brand names.
Speaker 6 (15:37):
All right, So skin lightning, how about green Tea extract
ec GC. It works.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
It's a pretty effective and very very safe method. Of
lightening your skin if you can find it in a
skin cream. Maybe maybe not. I actually have just patented
one of those, so you might see one of those
with me in the future. All right, red light therapy.
Have you heard about that one? Red light therapy. It's
(16:08):
they say that it does all sorts of things for
the skin. Maybe it decreases wrinkles, maybe it makes your
skin look younger. But the question is what is it?
What's red light therapy. There's also green light therapy. This
is low level therapy. They're selling these machines now with
great expectations that they help all sorts of things in
(16:29):
your skin, you know, with conditions of the skin combined
with other therapies. Some of these things really do work.
But what they're marketing green and red light therapy for
now are things like hair loss and wrinkles and things
like that.
Speaker 6 (16:45):
So the question is do they work?
Speaker 3 (16:48):
You know, I read the papers and I'll tell you something.
I am not convinced. I'm not gonna make friends out there.
I am not convinced. When we come back from our break,
we're going to talk a little bit more about this
one read in green light therapy and whether or not
it works. I'm board certified plastic surgeon, doctor Arthur Perry,
host of What's Your Rinkle eight hundred three two one
(17:09):
zero seven ten.
Speaker 6 (17:10):
We'll be back after these words.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
They say that sixty is the new fifty, But while
you may feel and act fifty, the mirror doesn't lie.
But that's where plastic surgery comes in. I'm board certified
plastic surgeon, doctor Arthur Perry, and I love helping patients
look younger and better. If you've got sagging cheeks, jowls,
and that dreaded turkey gobbler, it might be time for
a little nip and a tuck. You look more rested
(17:37):
and yes, younger. With my short scar facelift and the
artistic injection of wrinkle filler or a laser peel, well,
that might be just what it takes to get you
looking as good as you feel. Let's sit down for
an hour consultation in my new Park Avenue office. Together
we'll come up with a plan to help you look
your best. Give me a call at eight three three
Perry MD. That's a three three pe r R one.
(18:00):
Check me out on the web at periplastic surgery dot com,
and don't forget to listen to me doctor Arthur Perry,
every Saturday evening at six pm. Right here on WOR.
Speaker 7 (18:11):
You're listening to What's Your Wrinkle with doctor Arthur Perry,
What's your Wrinkle?
Speaker 3 (18:16):
And we're back on Bard Certified Plastic searchon doctor Arthur Perry,
host of What's Your Wrinkle right here on WOR. So,
here's the thing about red light therapy. You know, it's
very difficult for you as a consumer to understand the
science and when when companies advertise, well something works dramatically,
you believe them, right. But okay, so here's one paper
(18:38):
that was published that was in the Archives of Germanologic
Research August of twenty four and.
Speaker 6 (18:46):
Here it is.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Here's the title. It says, outstanding user reported satisfaction for
light emitted emitting diodes under I rejuvenation. Okay, what does
that mean? So these LEDs red light LEDs to rejuvenate
the under eye and you look at that and they
that's the title, well reported satisfaction. Well, guess what if
(19:08):
you really get into the paper, the wrinkles were reduced
the wrinkle score Are you ready.
Speaker 6 (19:14):
For this one?
Speaker 3 (19:14):
From twenty point zero five to nineteen point seventy two
on a scale of zero one hundred, So the wrinkles
twenty point zero five to nineteen point seven two in
eleven patients.
Speaker 6 (19:28):
Are you kidding me here? Now?
Speaker 3 (19:30):
You don't have to be a scientist to realize that
that is a minuscule difference, and if one person has,
you know, one little change, it's.
Speaker 6 (19:40):
Going to skew the results.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
They said the finding was not statistically significant, which doesn't
surprise me. But that doesn't stop companies from advertising this
therapy and selling you these devices. So please be careful
out there. Don't waste your money on things that don't work.
We've got Lisa on the line. Lisa, what're kind of
you view? What is your wrinkle?
Speaker 5 (20:00):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (20:01):
Thank you for taking my call. Doc to Perry. I'm
ready for some improvement under the you know, subject of
cosmetic surgery. Like I'm at an age where I feel great.
I'm in great shape, but my face it doesn't look
like me anymore, so i'd lucky for a consultation. I'm
(20:21):
sixty two, which I can't believe I was saying those
two numbers together. But I feel great. I walk every day,
I eat really well, so praise God, you know, I'm
in excellent health, and I don't want to say I'm skinny,
but I'm like one hundred and twenty pounds five four
and I'm always getting a little hanks when the trucker
is driving, and I love that because I'm so old fashioned.
(20:43):
I tell my husband the truckers hanks and he says, well,
get out of the road.
Speaker 6 (20:49):
There you go. All right?
Speaker 3 (20:50):
So what can I do for you, Lisa? What what
is your issue?
Speaker 7 (20:56):
Sure? Okay? I would well, first of all, I am
in New York, so I would love to see you
for a console of sometime soon, if you will have me.
One of my main annoyances is those vertical lines that
occur over the upper lips. And I wondered if I
was to, you know, be right for a cosmetic, say facelift,
(21:18):
would that help a little with the upper vertical lip lines.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
So in an answer, short answer is no. Facelifts are
great procedures and I do them all the time.
Speaker 6 (21:30):
I'm doing one this week.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
They are mostly for the jowls. The jowls are the
sagging cheek tissue that kind of obscures your nice, youthful jawline.
They're also very useful for the turkey gobbler. You know,
we have all these great terms for these things, the
hanging skin of the neck, the bands of the neck,
fat of the neck, things like that, so they're less
(21:54):
useful for fine wrinkles. They will tighten a bit nasalabial
folds and marriannettelines, but they won't get rid of them completely.
Speaker 6 (22:04):
But when you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Those vertical lines around your mouth, those are from decades
of talking, decades of drinking through a straw, hopefully not smoking,
kissing whenever you use the muscle called the orbicularis orus.
That's the circular muscle around the mouth that allows you
to grip things with your lips, but it also causes
(22:28):
those spokes of the wheel wrinkles. I think though, those
are the ones you're talking about, right, yes, Sam, Yeah, So.
Speaker 6 (22:36):
Those wrinkles we don't treat with surgery. We treat in
different ways.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
So the way that I like to do that's bad, anglist.
The method that I like to use is with the
injection of holuronic acid filler, things like restalane and juvederm.
And I've developed a technique. In fact, I taught it
last week. I gave my demonstration to the residents at Cornella, Columbia,
(23:02):
where I teach, and I teach them my technique of
how I like to fill wrinkles and rejuvenate the mouth
without getting duck lips and without getting distortion and without
getting lumps. And I try and make it pain free
by numbing you up like a dentist does.
Speaker 6 (23:21):
And I inject.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Each and every one of those little wrinkles multiple times
like a little sewing machine, going along the wrinkles with
micro droplets of this filler material. And then after I
do that, I then re establish what's called the vermilion border.
That's the border between the red and the white of
your lip. It goes away. If you're sixty two, Lisa,
(23:42):
if you run your finger along from your nose to
your lip, you probably won't feel that little border anymore.
Speaker 6 (23:49):
Right, got to do it?
Speaker 7 (23:51):
I'll wait, I'm doing it.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
Yeah, hard to feel.
Speaker 7 (23:54):
Do you have a daughter, Yeah, but I do have
a lot of nieces.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Okay, if you go up twenty of your knees, is
sneak up on them. If they're about twenty or thirty
years old, you don't sneak up on them. You'll run
your finger down the top lip from the nose to
the lip, and you will feel that ridge in a
twenty year old. It goes away somewhere in your late
forties fifties. And when that ridge goes away, it accelerates
(24:21):
the development of those spokes of the wheel wrinkles around
your lips. So I re establish that with a little
bit of rest lane also, And the peaks, the two
peaks of your upper lip, called the cupid's boat, they
go away also, and I put those back. And the
ridges between your nose and your lip. You probably don't
have those anymore. They're called the filteral ridges. I put
(24:43):
those back, and all together, those moves, those fillers make
your lips look better. I usually put a little tiny
bit of filler in your lip just to restore the volume,
not to make your lips all that much bigger, but
to restore the volume that you lost over time. And
then I'll fill the NAIs a laby and the marionettelines
and even out your jawline. And I'll usually put a
(25:04):
little bit in your ear lobes and plump those out
a bit. And it's a very comprehensive treatment. It takes
about an hour an hour and fifteen minutes and that's
what I do for that. If you need a facelift,
that's for the jowls and the neck, and that's a rejuvenation.
But in a consultation, Lisa, I'd be happy to see you.
We sit down, we talk for an hour, and we
go over everything from skincare to the facelift and beyond.
(25:29):
I want to thank you. The clock is beginning to
pull us away. It's only a half hour show now.
I really need to get back to an hour, don't I.
But Lisa, thank you so much for giving me a call.
I hope to see you in the office. And Noah,
once again, thanks for great engineering. The website is Periplastic
surgery dot com. And if you're listening to this show
and you want to listen on Wednesday morning, you can
(25:49):
do that in a podcast. iHeart podcast Apple podcasts. Hey listen,
I'm going to be on Mark Simone at ten forty
on Friday this week. Listen in because I'm gonna bring
my Boatox there and see if I can do it
