We're constantly told to avoid the sun, wear sunscreen every day, and invest in expensive skincare products if we want healthy, youthful-looking skin. But what does the science actually say? Can some sun exposure be beneficial? Are mineral sunscreens really safer than chemical ones? And with so many devices, creams, and treatments promising younger skin, which ones are actually worth your time and money?
Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with double board-certified dermatologist, skin cancer expert, and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Teo Soleymani to separate fact from fiction when it comes to skin health and aging. Dr. Soleymani breaks down the latest research on sun exposure, skin cancer risk, and sunscreen safety, while revealing the most effective strategies for preventing premature aging. He also shares the top treatments for wrinkles, acne scars, and sun damage, along with the devices and skincare interventions that deliver the biggest results without wasting your money. If you've ever wondered what actually works for healthier, younger-looking skin, this conversation is packed with practical, science-backed answers.
Dr. Teo Soleymani is a nationally recognized, double board-certified dermatologist and fellowship-trained Mohs Micrographic and Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon. A Stanford-trained physician and former clinical professor at UCLA, he specializes in the treatment of complex, high-risk skin cancers and sun-damaged, aging skin. He now leads California Dermatology and Mohs Surgery Specialists in Pasadena, CA, and continues to contribute to academic research and innovation in dermatologic surgery.
