Summary
Dr. Dhaval Bhanusali is a board-certified dermatologist, skincare formulator, and the founder behind Hudson Dermatology & Laser Surgery. He’s worked on brands including Rhode and ELM Biosciences and is known for combining cutting-edge cosmetic dermatology with a deeply science-backed approach to skin and hair health.
In this episode, we get into the treatments, ingredients, and routines that are actually worth your time and money — and the ones that probably aren’t. We talk about the most overrated and underrated skincare ingredients, the one thing that instantly makes skin look better, why lack of sleep shows up so dramatically on the face, and how overdoing skincare may actually be damaging your barrier and accelerating irritation.
Dr. Bhanusali also breaks down adult acne, rosacea, preventative Botox, how to make Botox last longer, hair loss lab markers, hair growth treatments, and the real differences between exosomes, peptides, and growth factors. We also discuss how skincare routines should evolve through different decades of life, why different cultures approach skin differently, the science behind LED masks, and what really goes into formulating products for brands like Rhode.
This episode is packed with practical, nuanced advice on how to actually take care of your skin and hair in a way that works long term.
