The cocktailing injection fads that are and aren’t worth trying, according to the dermDr. Sheila’s response to filler fatigue, “perception drift” and where some injectors have gone way overboardGetting filler dissolved? Listen to what Dr. Sheila has to say first The surprising ingredient that she predicts will be big in 2025, beyond its gimmicky reputationThe peer-reviewed injectors seal of approval list we mention is Castle Connolly and esthetic concierge services like Persana
