Faces by Trish: Confessions of a Dermatologist & Winning Your Own Micro-channeler!

Dr. Katie Rodan writes "I am afraid of plastic surgery. Sure, I’ve been through med school, performed countless surgeries, and I face blood on a regular basis. I even share my medical practice with an excellent plastic surgeon, well known for his “natural results.” But nevertheless, I’m afraid to undergo “the knife.” Mainly it’s because for every good outcome attributable to any one of the number of excellent Bay Area plastic surgeons, there are a handful of less-than-perfect results. I’ve also seen friends and patients who have dared to undergo surgical, cosmetic procedures only to look a little bit like someone else. But here’s my dilemma—as a 55-year-old dermatologist, with everyone looking at my skin, I’m expected to have a flawless complexion.

To ensure that my skin always looks its best (even after a night of lousy sleep) and to delay or hopefully avoid cosmetic surgery, I can’t waste my time with products that are anything less than stellar. That’s why I use a daily skincare regimen loaded with peptides to smooth existing fine lines and prevent new ones from forming. Every night before I apply my skincare, I use a micro-channeler system to maximize the effects of those peptides and other beneficial ingredients I’m putting on my face. The micro-channeler (aka. AMP MD Maximum Delivery System) creates small channels in my skin’s outermost layer, allowing products to penetrate deeper, giving me better overall results. In the morning I use my top secret anti-aging cream, which contains sunscreen, of course and is loaded with lots of other goodies, and I’m out the door. There are also occasional botox touch-ups … I’m not opposed to a little extra help here and there. But my daily routine keeps my skin looking its best today, tomorrow and the years to come.

While I’m open to changing my mind in the years to come, for now I’m sticking to my guns. So as time takes its toll, I’m continuing to roll … and that’s how I do it!" Join us here for a chance to win an AMP MD for yourself!
