Well, hello, hello, guys. You're listening to Beauty Bites with Dr. K, secrets of a Surgeon, and it's time for the end of the year

skincare resolutions. What should your top 10 skincare resolutions be for 2022? Well, this year,

superficial layer of the dermis. Injectable hyluronic, of course, can go deeper. And treatments like

an airbrush microneedling type of a treatment that delivers

hyaluronic Botox and other products deeper into the skin surface with microneedling technology

is an awesome way to deliver more hydration to the skin.
