Mentioned in Women’s Health
Dr. Michele Green was quoted in several Women’s Health articles on skin care. She covered caring for the thin, delicate under-eye skin with ingredients like caffeine, retinol, and vitamin C, and compared microneedling (better for collagen and scarring) with chemical peels (quicker brightening). She also explained that true Botox resistance is rare, with fading results usually due to dosing or technique, and discussed the causes and treatment of forehead acne, why cellulite can’t be cured but can be reduced with in-office treatments, and how to use polyglutamic acid safely with a patch test.
Microneedling Vs. Chemical Peels: Which Is Better For Glowing, Youthful Looking Skin?: Dec 2025
In this Women’s Health article, Dr. Michele Green explains that microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries that stimulate collagen and elastin production in the deeper layers of the skin, making it especially effective for acne scars, enlarged pores, and overall texture improvement. Chemical peels, however, work more superficially by exfoliating the top layer of dead or pigmented cells, offering quicker brightening and smoothing but generally providing less collagen-building benefit than microneedling.
She also emphasizes that choosing between the two depends heavily on skin type and tone, since deeper peels or aggressive treatments can trigger hyperpigmentation in darker skin. Regardless of the option, Dr. Green stresses that results aren’t permanent—maintenance treatments plus consistent sunscreen, retinoids, and vitamin C are key to keeping improvements long-term.

Women’s Health Talks With Dr. Green About Botox Tolerance: Dec 2025
In this week’s article “Can You Build Up A “Tolerance” To Botox? Dermatologists Reveal The Surprising Answer,” Women’s Health explains that true “resistance” to Botox — meaning the body develops neutralizing antibodies so injections no longer have effect — is possible but very uncommon. For example, they cite a review (Neutralizing Antibody Formation with OnabotulinumtoxinA (BOTOX®) Treatment from Global Registration Studies across Multiple Indications: A Meta-Analysis) of 5,800 patients in which just a small fraction lost responsiveness over time. Most experts quoted in the article stress that in cosmetic use, cases of true immunity are “extremely rare.”
Instead, the article argues the more common reasons for Botox seeming to stop working are factors like incorrect dosing (too few units), improper dilution, or suboptimal injection technique. Facial-muscle strength and anatomy can also change over time — meaning what once was an effective dose might become insufficient later. Thus, fading results often reflect changes in how the treatment is administered or how the body responds, rather than genuine resistance.

Undereye Skin Treatment & Eyelash Growth: Aug 2025
The under eye area can be tricky to treat, with Dr. Green quoted today in Women’s Health Mag in various parts of the article. She noted that “the skin under and around the eyes is more delicate than the skin on the rest of the face,” and studies back this up, noting that the lower eyelid skin is one of the thinnest parts in the body at only about 0.5 millimeters (mm) thick. For context, that is about a quarter of the facial skin overall and an eighth of the skin on the thickest area of the body—the heels— which can be up to 4 mm thick.
Under-eye skin is also less elastic, and more susceptible to issues like dehydration, sensitivity, and even accelerated aging. “Some of the best ingredients to improve and treat the under-eye skin include caffeine, retinol, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin C,” says Dr. Green. Vitamin C works especially well for dark circles while, Retinol is the gold standard for crows feet.
She also talks about Eye Creams and Serums, mentioning that “serums are also great for the morning routine.” Find out more in “The Ultimate Guide To Taking Care Of The Skin Under Your Eyes, According To Dermatologists” at Women’s Health Mag.
Women’s Health Discusses Forehead Acne With Dr. Green: June 2023
Women’s Health investigates forehead acne in their recent article “What Causes Forehead Acne And How to Get Rid of It, According To Dermatologists”. Forehead acne, being quite visible can become a source of annoyance. Dr. Green explains that acne forms when oil glands are blocked with excess sebum. She states “When too much oil is produced combined with an excess of bacteria or dead skin cell build-up, the pores become clogged and prevent the oil from leaving the pore properly”.
Genetics can be a cause of forehead acne, as well as changes in hormones. When fungus and bacteria get into the forehead pores, this can cause an unwanted breakout. When it comes to treating forehead acne, there is one rule to follow which is no picking. Exfoliating, retinols, benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid and retinoids can all help with forehead acne. However if it’s persistent, make sure to schedule an appointment with a dermatologist, such as Dr. Green, who will be able to tailor your acne treatment.

17 Best Cellulite Treatments For Smooth Skin, According To Dermatologists: Jan 2024
Dr. Green notes there is no cure for cellulite, but discusses what is cellulite—and what causes this common skin condition that’s readily recognized by texture that is lumpy, dimpled, or rippled in appearance. The cause of cellulite is based on an accumulation of bulging fat cells and the fibrous bands that connect the skin’s surface to the underlying muscle, says Dr. Michele Green, in the article and talks about options overall such as how “it is possible to reduce the appearance of cellulite through non-invasive cosmetic procedures, like Thermage and VelaShape.”.
“Most cellulite creams contain active ingredients like caffeine or retinol, and work by thickening the outer layer of skin or decreasing the water content of fat cells, resulting in an overall smoother texture,” she explains. “The efficacy of cellulite creams largely depends on the severity of the cellulite” but in-office treatments such as Thermage are always a better option overall.

What is Polyglutamic Acid & How Can I Use Polyglutamic Acid?: June 2022
Polyglutamic Acid or PGA as its known to some was discussed in Women’s Health Magazine and featured Dr. Green who notes that “PGA can be incorporated into anyone’s skincare routine and can be combined with numerous other products like niacinamide, vitamin C, and retinol to further rejuvenate the face and improve the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.”
But its not for everyone, and you should test before you try to fully use it, via a patch test. “An allergic reaction might take a few days to develop, and it’s important to be thorough, especially when it comes to rosacea or sensitive skin,” Dr. Green adds. “If you experience any irritation, wash the product off as soon as possible and discontinue all further use.”
