Can starting Botox at 21 make it stop working later? How young is too young for cosmetic treatments, and how can you improve your skin without getting influenced by every new skincare trend online?
In this episode of The Aditi Govitrikar Show, dermatologist Dr. Jaishree Sharad explains the science behind skincare, anti-ageing treatments and aesthetic procedures. She breaks down what Botox actually does, when someone may consider starting it, whether Botox resistance is real, and how an experienced doctor can soften lines without creating an unnatural or frozen face.
The conversation also clears up the widespread confusion between Botox and fillers. Dr. Jaishree explains why they serve different purposes, how fillers restore volume, what can cause an overfilled appearance, and why the quality of the product, correct placement and expertise of the practitioner matter as much as the treatment itself.
Beyond cosmetic procedures, this episode offers a practical guide to building a skincare routine according to your skin type rather than copying an influencer, celebrity or friend. Dr. Jaishree explains how to identify oily, dry, sensitive and combination skin, how long products need before showing results, and why constantly changing products can do more harm than good.
The conversation also covers:
- Skincare routines for different skin types and ages
- Sunscreen, retinol, vitamin C, niacinamide and hyaluronic acid
- Microneedling, lasers, HIFU and radiofrequency treatments
- PDRN, exosomes, skin boosters and red-light therapy
- Pigmentation, acne and treatment safety for Indian skin
- Why social-media skincare trends should not replace a dermatologist’s assessment
