NIRA Pro Anti-Aging Laser Reviewed with Dr. Green at TZR: Oct 2023
Is NIRA’s Pro Laser Worth It? As always, it depends. But as part of the overall strategy, it can help, as “these lasers are minimally invasive and use heat technology to stimulate collagen production underneath the skin to diminish the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots, and acne scars— and improve skin texture and tone,” says Dr. Michele Green, M.D. in the Zoe Report.
It might not be as powerful as an in-office laser option but “the NIRA Pro uses laser light to generate heat, radiofrequency devices use safe, low-frequency electromagnetic waves to heat skin cells,” says Dr. Green. It also depends how you use it, and advise from a dermatologist is important here. In this case, Dr. Green advised the writer to pair her laser routine with ingredients I already frequently use: vitamin C and retinol. “Additionally, sunscreen should always be used after this type of laser treatment to protect the skin from UV damage and to maximize results, as excessive sun exposure can lead to the premature development of fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation,” she says.

TZR Asks About Choosing The Right Retinol & Sun Exposure Overall: June 2023
Jessica Fields from The Zoe Report (TZR) asks dermatologists about how Retinol Is A Skin Care Essential — But How Do You Find The Right One? Dr. Green was quoted many times in the article, where she talks about how “many people start using retinol in their mid 20s or early 30s as a preventative measure to delay signs of aging, but it can also improve existing signs of aging for those well into their 50s and 60s.” She talks about Retinol, types, levels and information about Retinol which is often used in OTC cosmetic products. Such products “are formulated with a single ester of retinol, which increases the number of conversions and makes the product even more gentle for use.”
She notes how people with sensitive skin should aim for lower levels of Retinol, and “if you are new to the ingredient, I recommend using it gradually, say once a week for one week, twice a week for two weeks, three times a week for three weeks in order to mitigate side effects” – in addition to that, limit sun exposure early on because “Retinol is a photosensitizing ingredient that makes the skin abnormally sensitive to UV radiation and other damaging effects of sun exposure.”
In addition to that, she also wrote an article in TZR titled “Can The Sun Make Your Fillers Wear Off Faster In The Summer?” This article looked at how to prevent the sun from impacting fillers such as Botox. For example, some people note that it may cause healing to be slower – “Some people may notice that skin isn’t healing as well or notice bruising around the injection site, and while sun exposure can be the problem, it’s best to follow up with the injector to be sure,” says Dr. Green.

Microneedling is getting more and more popular these days, but one reason isn’t because of its use for the skin on your face. “Scalp microneedling has increased in popularity in recent years, in part due to the ‘skinification’ of scalp and hair,” says Dr. Michele Green, M.D. in Bustle.com.
She talks about PRP in the article, and mentioned that “PRP is rich in a variety of growth factors like the transforming growth factor (TGF), which promotes the growth of new blood vessels, and the keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) speeds up skin regeneration.”

Beyond the potential stress magnified in today’s world, is preventing gray hair in the first place a possible option?
Dr Green talks about PRP (platelet rich plasma) treatment as a preventative measure in the article, noting that “PRP is a great and effective way to stimulate the stem cells with our own growth factors, causing them to ‘wake up’ and grow,” plus “it will also ensure that all the right nutrients and sufficient blood flow is getting to the area, creating the perfect environment for catalase to function at its best, allowing the enzymes needed for hair color to work properly.”
