Hey guys, welcome back to Skin Anarchy. Today we're diving into the topic that I think a lot of us are always wondering about and it never gets enough attention, which is the scalp. We always talk about skin health, aging, wrinkles when it comes to facial skin, but when it comes to where your hair actually grows out of, the hair that we take care of on the routine,

the scalp, we never get to discuss that. So joining us today is someone who is truly bridging

she is a board-certified dermatologist and founder of Weiser Skin MD. Welcome, Dr. Weiser. I'm so excited to host you.

Thank you so much for having me. I'm really excited to be here and finally get to address the

scalp and all the attention that it really deserves. I think that we really don't think of it

KiraFactor and the KiraFlex Duo system because it's a wonderful sort of products. I can't

bit about yourself. Walk us down memory lane, if you don't mind, and give us a background on

what got you into dermatology and all the good stuff.

So I am originally Canadian born and has a background in biochemistry and economics.

I did my undergraduate training at the University of Pennsylvania.

I did medical school at the Montefiore-Einstein Medical Center up in the Bronx in New York.

And then I trained in

dermatology at Columbia University and I'm on faculty there as well. And I really became

interested in dermatology because I felt that the skin was really this very interesting portal

to what was happening inside the body. So much of what happens internally has external manifestations. And I think that's

often overlooked and really understanding the skin and how it works as its own organ system, I think,

is really crucial to the understanding of both the physiologic function of the skin when

it's normal and when it's healthy and then also to the pathologic function of the skin. it's normal and when it's healthy and then also
