Queen City Skin: Recent Episodes
Dr. Elizabeth Rostan
I’m Dr. Elizabeth Rostan, board-certified by the American Board of Dermatology. I have practiced dermatology and cosmetic and laser surgery in Charlotte NC for the last 20 years. I have developed expertise in non-surgical and minimally invasive rejuvenation procedures, skincare, and the use of injectables to correct signs of aging, enhance beauty and maintain a youthful appearance – and I LOVE MY JOB! The reason for my podcast is to share my enthusiasm for this wonderful field and educate about the opportunities for better and more youthful skin, hair, and body. I also aim to dispel the often bad information that is spread via non-expert influencers and myth spreaders.
Stress can show up on your skin before you fully recognize its effects anywhere else. Dr. Elizabeth Rostan explains why poor sleep, emotional strain, travel, work pressure, and other demanding seasons can trigger acne, eczema, seborrheic dermatitis, and psoriasis. She breaks down the roles of cortisol, inflammation, and skin-barrier disruption, then shares how consistent maintenance, early treatment, and the right medical support can keep a small change from becoming a difficult flare.

3 Ways to Keep Stress From Taking Over Your Skin:
- Stay consistent when your skin looks clear, because a quiet period does not always mean the underlying condition is gone. Continuing your acne or eczema routine, using a gentle cleanser, and moisturizing regularly can help keep the skin barrier steady before the next trigger arrives.
- Treat early changes before they reach a tipping point. Once skin becomes inflamed and the barrier is compromised, it may flare more easily again. Contact your dermatology team when redness, itching, flaking, or breakouts begin to increase. Early treatment can help shorten the flare and make it easier to control.
- Look at sleep and your overall stress load. Sleep supports barrier repair and helps regulate inflammation. Travel, dry weather, demanding work seasons, grief, and emotional strain can all lower your skin’s threshold for a flare. A visible change in your skin may be a sign that your body needs more support.

Skin changes in your 30s and 40s can feel sudden, but they usually start beneath the surface years before they become visible. In this episode of Queen City Skin, Dr. Elizabeth Rostan explains how collagen loss, elastin decline, sun damage, stress, sleep changes, and shifting hormones affect the skin through perimenopause and menopause. She walks through why the skin may feel thinner, drier, duller, less resilient, or more breakout-prone, and how Charlotte Skin & Laser helps patients build long-term plans with skincare, medical skin exams, lasers, microneedling, radiofrequency, fillers, and other collagen-stimulating treatments.

3 Skin Changes to Watch Before and During Perimenopause:
- Collagen slows down earlier than most women expect. In the 30s, fibroblasts begin making less collagen, elastin, and supportive matrix, even when the skin still looks fairly healthy on the surface. Over time, that shift shows up as fine lines, thinner skin, dullness, dryness, and less bounce.
- Estrogen affects skin, volume, hair, and healing. As estrogen declines, skin can feel drier, wounds may take longer to heal, and facial volume can change more quickly. Many women also notice jowling, neck changes, thinning hair, unwanted facial hair, or hormonal acne during this transition.
- A smart plan protects skin now and keeps it stronger for later. Daily sunscreen, antioxidants, retinol, gentle cleansing, better moisturizers, peptides, and collagen-stimulating treatments all have a place. Lasers, microneedling, radiofrequency, and biostimulatory fillers can help support structure, texture, tone, and long-term skin health.

Adult acne can feel especially frustrating because it often looks and behaves differently than the acne many people remember from their teenage years. In this episode of Queen City Skin, Dr. Elizabeth Rostan explains why adult acne often shows up as painful cysts along the chin, jawline, or nose, how hormones, stress, birth control, IUDs, fertility treatments, pregnancy, and postpartum shifts can play a role, and when it may be time to move beyond over-the-counter products. She also walks through how the team at Charlotte Skin & Laser approaches treatment, from cyst injections and topical options to oral medications, follow-up care, and treatments for the red or brown marks acne can leave behind.

3 Key Takeaways for Managing Hormonal Breakouts:
- Adult acne is different from teenage acne – it presents as deep cystic lesions on the chin and jawline, often triggered by hormonal fluctuations, stress, and life changes
- Over-the-counter treatments aren't enough. Professional intervention with in-clinic procedures, topical treatments, and oral medications is often necessary
- Prevention of scarring and aggressive follow-up care are critical! Avoid picking, use proper wound care, and schedule frequent follow-ups to adjust treatment as needed

Lasers can feel confusing, but the right treatment plan can make them one of the most powerful tools for healthier, more refreshed skin. We’re bringing back this helpful Queen City Skin conversation all about lasers, originally released as Episode 17. In this episode, Dr. Elizabeth Rostan sits down with Alexxa Forte, cosmetic consultant at Charlotte Skin & Laser, to demystify lasers and energy-based devices. From redness, brown spots, and scars to overall rejuvenation, they explain how different technologies are chosen, what downtime can look like, and why results come from personalized plans rather than one-off treatments.
Alexxa Forte, cosmetic consultant at Charlotte Skin & Laser, brings years of experience helping patients navigate treatment options and personalize their laser and skincare plans. She bridges the science of dermatology with the everyday concerns of patients, making treatments feel approachable and results attainable.
Some key takeaways from this episode include:
- Every laser has a purpose. The wavelength, pulse duration, and cooling system decide whether a device tackles redness, brown spots, scars, or texture. Matching the right device to your skin is both science and artistry, and that’s where the best results happen.
- Downtime looks different for everyone. Ablative lasers dive deeper and need more recovery, while non-ablative options are gentler with little to no downtime. Both have a place, depending on your goals.
- Beautiful results build over time. Lasers aren’t magic zaps - they’re renewal tools. Most patients see the best improvements after a series of three treatments, followed by simple maintenance to keep skin healthy and glowing.

Dr. Elizabeth Rostan is pulling back the curtain on her own in-office skin routine, from the laser treatments she relies on to the regenerative technologies she uses to keep her skin healthy, resilient, and refreshed. In this conversation, she shares the treatments she recently chose for herself at Charlotte Skin & Laser’s new Huntersville office, why she selected them, and how her personal approach reflects the same philosophy she brings to patient care every day.

More men are walking into Charlotte Skin & Laser with the same goal: to look rested, healthy, and confident without looking like they had “work done.” In this episode of Queen City Skin, Dr. Elizabeth Rostan and cosmetic consultant Alexxa Forte talk through the treatments men are asking about most, from Botox and fillers to lasers, facials, body contouring, hair restoration, and skin cancer prevention. They explain how masculine rejuvenation is approached differently, why subtlety matters, and how the right treatment plan can support both appearance and long-term skin health. Whether men are noticing tired eyes, thinning hair, sun damage, acne scars, or a jawline that feels less defined, this conversation offers a practical, reassuring look at what is possible.

Men may start with simple treatments like facials, relaxers, or laser rejuvenation, then explore options for volume restoration, hair growth, acne scars, eyelids, body sculpting, or advanced procedures when appropriate.

Do you ever wonder why your dermatologist keeps asking about antioxidants? In this episode, Dr. Elizabeth Rostan walks through the role of topical vitamin C in an anti-aging routine and why it shows up in so many of our recommendations at Charlotte Skin and Laser. She explains how daily sun exposure, pollution, and even normal metabolism create oxidative stress that breaks down collagen and accelerates visible aging. You’ll hear what makes a vitamin C actually effective, how to use it in your routine, and why consistency over time is what protects your skin and keeps it looking healthy for years to come.
Products mentioned:
- SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic
- SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF
- SkinCeuticals Silymarin CF
- SkinBetter Science antioxidant products
- Charlotte Skin & Laser Triple Defense Antioxidant Cream
- Charlotte Skin & Laser Triple Defense Antioxidant Serum
In this episode you’ll learn:
- Vitamin C is prevention, not a quick fix. Its biggest impact happens over time by protecting collagen, elastin, and DNA from daily damage.
- Not all vitamin C is created equal. Look for L-ascorbic acid at 10–20% in a stable, clinically tested formulation for real results.
- Consistency and correct use matter. Apply in the morning before sunscreen and avoid pairing with benzoyl peroxide at the same time.

You can feel the difference the moment you walk into a space that was designed with intention. In this episode, Dr. Elizabeth Rostan sits down with Debbie Ouvier, Practice Administrator at Charlotte Skin & Laser, to introduce the Huntersville office location and the vision behind it. Debbie brings years of experience in practice management and walks through how this space was built from the ground up to support a better patient experience, from the way you move through your visit to the details that create a sense of calm, privacy, and ease. She also shares what most patients never see, the planning, problem-solving, and countless decisions that shape how a visit actually feels. This is a behind-the-scenes look at a major step forward for the practice, and how this new space was designed not just to look beautiful, but to deliver the same seamless, personal, and elevated standard of care you’ve come to know and expect at Charlotte Skin and Laser.
Debbie Ouvier is the Practice Administrator at Charlotte Skin & Laser, bringing over a decade of experience in practice management and operations. She specializes in building efficient, patient-centered systems that support both exceptional care and a seamless patient experience.

- Consistency in patient experience does not happen by chance. Through intentional training, ongoing education, and close physician oversight, the team ensures every patient receives the same thoughtful, high-quality care regardless of who they see.

Redness is not always acne, and treating it like acne could be making things worse. In this Rosacea Awareness Month replay, Dr. Elizabeth Rostan breaks down what rosacea really is, why it shows up, and how to finally get it under control with the right approach. She walks through the different subtypes, common triggers, and the combination of skincare, prescriptions, and in-office treatments that truly make a difference.
You will also hear from Nurse Robyn Allen, who shares her personal experience managing rosacea over time, and Derek, a Charlotte Skin & Laser patient who found real relief after Vbeam laser treatments. Their stories bring the science to life and offer a clear, honest look at what works and what to expect.
Robyn Allen, RN, is a registered nurse at Charlotte Skin & Laser with over 16 years of experience in cosmetic dermatology.

In this episode, you’ll learn…
- Rosacea is not one-size-fits-all. It includes multiple subtypes, and many patients experience a combination, which is why personalized treatment matters.
- Your daily habits play a major role. Sun exposure, heat, skincare products, and even workouts can trigger flares, so identifying patterns is key.
- Real results come from a layered approach. Gentle skincare, targeted prescriptions, and treatments like Vbeam laser work together to reduce redness and restore confidence.

If you’ve ever Googled Accutane and felt overwhelmed, you’re not alone. What you find online can feel confusing, even intimidating, but the reality of treatment is often very different. In this episode of Queen City Skin, Dr. Emily O. McLean is joined by medical assistant Jane Lewis to break down what isotretinoin, commonly known as Accutane, is really like from both a clinical and patient perspective. Together, they walk through what treatment looks like month to month, how side effects are managed, and why this medication can be life-changing for patients with acne. Jane shares her personal experience taking Accutane as a teenager and now guiding patients through the process in clinic. Her dual perspective offers reassurance, practical tips, and a clear understanding of what to expect every step of the way.
Jane Lewis graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2023 with a B.S. in Psychology. She has spent the past two years working as a medical assistant at Charlotte Skin and Laser, where she has gained hands-on clinical experience in dermatology. Jane plans to attend physician assistant school and hopes to build a career centered on compassionate, patient-centered care.

3 Things to Know Before Starting Accutane
- Accutane is highly effective for the right patients. For moderate to severe acne or acne that risks scarring, isotretinoin can dramatically improve skin and help prevent long-term damage.
- Side effects are expected but manageable. Dryness is common, but with the right support, routine check-ins, and simple strategies, most patients tolerate treatment very well.
- Clear skin is just the beginning.Accutane is a powerful reset, but long-term skin health depends on maintenance with sunscreen, gentle skincare, and often a topical retinoid.

What if the best way to learn medicine is to jump in and start doing it? In this episode of Queen City Skin, Dr. Emily McLean sits down with two of Charlotte Skin and Laser’s medical assistants, Samantha and Mansi, to talk about what it’s really like to train inside a busy dermatology practice. Both recent graduates preparing for PA school, they share how the program gives them hands-on clinical experience from the very beginning.

From assisting in procedures to counseling patients and navigating insurance approvals, this episode offers a candid look at how the MA program helps shape the next generation of healthcare providers.
Mansi Pitalia and Samantha Mitchell are medical assistants at Charlotte Skin and Laser who joined the program after graduating from Clemson University and NC State. Both plan to pursue careers as physician assistants and share how their clinical experience in dermatology is preparing them for the future.
Resources mentioned:

The eyes are the windows to the soul and often the first canvas upon which time leaves its mark. If you find yourself bothered by dark circles, puffiness, fine lines, or sagging skin around the eyes, you are not alone. In this episode, Dr. Elizabeth Rostan reveals why dark circles, puffiness, fine lines, and loss of definition around the eyes demand a sophisticated, multi-modal approach. If your eyes are communicating fatigue rather than vitality, this conversation illuminates what's truly happening, and what genuinely works to refresh and sustain results over time.

- Microneedling at Charlotte Skin & Laser
3 Truths About Aging Eyes:
- Dark circles are not one problem. They can come from pigment, visible blood vessels beneath thin skin, or volume loss that creates shadowing. Identifying the true cause matters, because each one requires a different approach.
- The eye area is structural, not just surface-level. What looks like a tired under-eye often begins in the cheek, the brow, or shifts in facial contour over time. Restoring balance thoughtfully creates more natural results than simply filling a hollow.
- Maintenance makes the magic happen. The eyelid skin is thin and constantly in motion, which means it responds well to treatment but also needs consistency. The right eye cream and strategic in-office treatments help preserve brightness over time.

Clean. Natural. Non-toxic. Those words sound comforting, but in skincare, they often mean more about marketing than medicine. In this episode, Dr. Elizabeth Rostan and Dr. Emily O. McLean unpack what labels like “clean,” “natural,” “organic,” and even “medical grade” really mean. They explore why these terms are largely unregulated, how trusted brands test products for safety and efficacy, and why natural does not automatically equal safe. From parabens and essential oils to natural deodorants and DIY scrubs, they address the myths driving today’s skincare fears and offer science-based clarity you can trust.
If you’ve ever wondered whether your “clean beauty” routine is helping or harming your skin, this conversation will help you think critically, choose wisely, and feel confident in your decisions.
Resources mentioned:
- Charlotte Skin and Laser Skin Store
3 Ways to Think Smarter About “Natural” Skincare:
- Stop assuming “natural” means safer. Poison ivy is natural. Arsenic is natural. In skincare, those words are marketing terms, not medical standards. Safety comes from testing, not trendiness.
- Remember that dose and exposure matter. Ingredients like parabens and aluminum have decades of safety data when used topically in small amounts. Fear often spreads faster than science, and removing well-studied ingredients can actually increase irritation.
- Protect your barrier first. Essential oils, heavily fragranced deodorants, and DIY scrubs are common triggers for dermatitis. When in doubt, patch test on the inner arm for a few days before applying something new to your face or underarms.

Growth factors, peptides, and exosomes sound futuristic, but they are already reshaping how we heal, rejuvenate, and maintain skin. In this episode, Dr. Elizabeth Rostan walks through what these regenerative tools actually are, how they function in the skin, and where the science ends and the hype begins. She explains how they are used before and after laser treatments, how they support recovery and long-term maintenance, and why professional guidance matters as this category continues to evolve. If you are interested in skin renewal that works with your body’s natural processes, this conversation will provide you clarity and perspective.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Growth factors, peptides, and exosomes are signaling tools that stimulate the skin’s own renewal rather than replacing it.
- Layering peptides before, after, and between laser treatments can improve healing, reduce downtime, and extend results.
- Exosomes represent a powerful regenerative frontier, but quality, sourcing, and professional oversight matter.

Few things spark anxiety like noticing more hair in the shower drain. But surprisingly, not all hair loss is the same, and not all of it is permanent. Dr. Elizabeth Rostan and Robyn Allen, RN, walk through the most common types of hair loss, why they happen, and how dermatologists evaluate what’s actually going on beneath the surface. From stress-related shedding and hormone-driven thinning to scarring conditions that require early intervention, they clarify what’s normal, what deserves attention, and why modern, personalized treatment plans can make a meaningful difference for many patients.
Robyn Allen, RN, is a registered nurse at Charlotte Skin & Laser with over 16 years of experience in cosmetic dermatology. She works closely with Dr. Rostan in hair loss evaluation and treatment, including PRP and laser-based therapies, and assists with a wide range of aesthetic and surgical dermatology procedures.

- DefenAge® Pro 150K Hair Follicle Serum
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Not all hair loss means permanent thinning. Sudden shedding after stress, illness, hormonal changes, or weight loss is often reversible once the trigger is addressed and the growth cycle resets.
- Pattern matters more than the hair you see in the drain. Thinning at the front or crown, widening parts, or a receding hairline signal different causes than diffuse shedding, and require different treatments.
- Successful hair regrowth is usually multifactorial. The best results come from combining medical therapy, targeted topicals, in-office treatments, and lifestyle support rather than relying on a single solution.

If you’ve ever looked in the mirror after a bad night’s sleep and thought, “I look exhausted,” you weren’t imagining it. In this episode of Queen City Skin, Dr. Elizabeth Rostan is joined by Robyn Allen, RN, to unpack why sleep may be one of the most powerful (and most overlooked) tools for healthy, resilient skin. From overnight barrier repair and inflammation control to acne flares, rosacea, dark circles, and accelerated aging, this conversation connects the dots between how well you sleep and what you see in the mirror. They also discuss an FDA-approved technology the team recently studied that may help improve sleep quality, and why better sleep doesn’t just feel good, it shows.
Robyn Allen, RN, is a registered nurse at Charlotte Skin & Laser with over 16 years of experience in cosmetic dermatology, assisting with advanced procedures including lasers, liposuction, blepharoplasty, and skin cancer surgery.

- Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker PhD
In this episode you’ll learn:
- Sleep is when your skin repairs and resets. Overnight rest strengthens the skin barrier, improves hydration and circulation, and supports healing. Poor sleep drives inflammation, dullness, breakouts, and under-eye darkness.
- Chronic sleep loss accelerates visible aging. Elevated cortisol from poor sleep worsens acne, rosacea, and eczema and speeds collagen breakdown, making stress and fatigue show up faster on your face.
- Your results depend on your rest. Skincare products, lasers, injectables, and other treatments work best when your body is well-rested. Sleep creates the foundation for better outcomes and longer-lasting results.

When dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and aesthetic leaders from around the world gather in one place, patterns start to emerge. In this episode, Dr. Elizabeth Rostan is joined by Clinical Manager and Nurse Injector, Kristin Brunson, RN, to share the clearest signals they brought home from the Global Aesthetics Conference 2025 in Miami. They break down what consistently rose to the top, including regenerative skincare, biostimulatory fillers, and the growing understanding that internal health directly influences aesthetic outcomes. The conversation also explores the impact of GLP-1 medications on skin aging and why the future of aesthetics is grounded in healthier skin biology, individualized beauty, and natural results that still make a meaningful difference.

Viral skincare hacks can look like magic. Quick, flawless, and too good to be true. But beneath the good lighting and trending audio, is there any real skin science at work? In this episode, Dr. Elizabeth Rostan and Dr. Emily McLean put the biggest TikTok and Instagram trends under the microscope, from salmon sperm facials to scalp spas, sharing what’s safe, what’s pure hype, and what might actually help your skin. If you’ve ever wondered which viral trends deserve a thumbs up, or a gentle dermatology-approved “please don’t,” this episode is for you.

- Revian Red Light Cap
- EltaMD Intense Moisturizer

- Photonic Health / Photobiomodulation Pads
3 Derm-Approved Lessons From This Episode:
- Not all viral trends are created equal. Some, like slugging or red-light therapy, have strong science behind them. Others, like salmon sperm facials or compression-bandage “snatching”, are more smoke than science.
- Simple care usually wins. The “caveman” no-wash movement and no-poo scalp trends can actually backfire, leading to buildup, irritation, and even hair loss. Clean, consistent routines beat extremes every time.
- Choose trends that fit your lifestyle. Even evidence-backed treatments, like red-light therapy, only work with consistency. If you can't commit to using a device daily, investing in an in-office treatment may be a better use of your skincare budget.

What if you could strengthen, sculpt, and support your muscles, all without breaking a sweat? In this episode, Dr. Rostan explores the science and artistry behind AccuFit, an FDA-cleared technology that rebuilds and retrains your muscle through precise electrical stimulation.
Whether you’re recovering from surgery, rebuilding after weight loss, or simply wanting to feel stronger and more stable as you move through life, AccuFit offers a smarter, safer way to enhance muscle health. Dr. Rostan shares how she integrates AccuFit into her own fitness routine, real patient success stories, and why maintaining muscle is the unsung key to longevity, balance, and confidence, inside and out.
Resources mentioned:
- Accufit Body Contouring at Charlotte Skin & Laser
- Venus Bliss at Charlotte Skin & Laser
- Coolsculpting® Elite at Charlotte Skin & Laser

In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Muscle health is the foundation of aging well. Strong, active muscles support balance, protect the spine, and enhance posture, helping prevent pain and injury while maintaining mobility as we age.
- AccuFit strengthens from the inside out. Using targeted electrical stimulation, AccuFit retrains your muscle fibers to rebuild tone, improve performance, and accelerate recovery after surgery or injury.
- Efficient, elegant strength is possible. A 30-minute AccuFit session activates core muscles and boosts workout results, while ongoing maintenance supports long-term tone. It pairs beautifully with body contouring treatments like CoolSculpting® or Venus Bliss for results that look as strong as they feel.

For over two decades, estrogen replacement therapy carried a shadow: a black box warning that left countless women fearing a treatment once considered essential for health and vitality. But this week, the FDA officially removed that warning, rewriting one of the biggest stories in women’s medicine.
In this episode, Dr. Elizabeth Rostan sits down with Dr. Christopher Morris, board-certified OBGYN and certified menopause provider, to unpack what this decision means for women at every stage of menopause. Together, they separate myths from medicine, revisiting the history of estrogen therapy, the truth about breast cancer risk, and the far-reaching benefits for bone, brain, heart, skin, and sexual health. Whether you’re navigating hot flashes or sleep difficulties, or simply wondering if hormone replacement therapy is right for you, this episode is a masterclass in evidence-based, compassionate care for women’s health.
Dr. Christopher Morris is a board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist and certified menopause provider through The Menopause Society, specializing in women’s hormonal and sexual health, including the care of cancer survivors. He practices in Charlotte, North Carolina, and welcomes patients seeking comprehensive menopause and hormone therapy care.
Resources mentioned:
- Estrogen Matters by Avrum Bluming
- “Women Have Been Misled About Menopause” Article from the New York Times
- CostPlus Drugs
In this episode you’ll learn:
- The science has evolved, and so has the FDA. The black box warning on estrogen therapy has been removed, acknowledging decades of research showing estrogen’s safety and wide-ranging benefits when used appropriately.
- Estrogen supports whole-body health. Beyond easing hot flashes, it protects bone density, heart health, cognitive function, and even skin integrity - helping women age stronger and more vibrantly.
- Every woman deserves the conversation. Thoughtful, individualized hormone therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. Shared decision-making with a knowledgeable clinician is key to finding what’s right for you.

What’s scarier than a haunted house? Realizing that the “freckle” on your leg is actually a tick, or that your at-home filler kit was a terrible idea. In this Halloween edition of Queen City Skin, Dr. Elizabeth Rostan and Dr. Emily O. McLean share real dermatology stories from the clinic -- from creepy crawlies and mysterious lumps to DIY disasters -- and how they helped patients turn fear into relief.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- DIY treatments can go terrifyingly wrong. At-home filler kits, “miracle” black pastes, and homemade skincare mixes can cause infections, abscesses, and even permanent damage.
- There really are creepy crawlies dermatologists see. From mites that trigger rosacea to ticks mistaken for moles and hidden scabies infestations, Dr. Rostan and Dr. McLean reveal how they diagnose and treat these itchy mysteries.
- Even the “scariest” skin problems can have simple solutions. Not every bump, bruise, or lump is a horror story, but some neglected skin cancers or foreign bodies can surprise even the pros. Learn the signs that mean it’s time to see a dermatologist.

Your laser results don’t just happen in the treatment chair -- the real magic continues at home.

From soothing spring water sprays to advanced peptides, they explain which products are worth the investment, how to avoid setbacks, and when it’s safe to reintroduce retinol into your routine.

- You don’t have to pause your retinol forever. Most patients can restart within a few days, depending on skin type and healing progress.
- Pairing procedures with smart daily skincare ensures your investment lasts longer and keeps your skin at its healthiest and most radiant.

Lasers aren’t magic wands, but in the right hands, they can transform skin. In this episode, Dr. Elizabeth Rostan teams up with Alexxa Forte, cosmetic consultant at Charlotte Skin & Laser, to break down the often confusing world of lasers and energy-based devices. From redness, brown spots, and scars to overall rejuvenation, they explain how different wavelengths and technologies are chosen, what downtime really looks like, and why results come from personalized plans, not one-off treatments.
Alexxa Forte, cosmetic consultant at Charlotte Skin & Laser, brings years of experience helping patients navigate treatment options and personalize their laser and skincare plans. She bridges the science of dermatology with the everyday concerns of patients, making treatments feel approachable and results attainable.
Some key takeaways from this episode include:
- Every laser has a purpose. The wavelength, pulse duration, and cooling system decide whether a device tackles redness, brown spots, scars, or texture. Matching the right device to your skin is both science and artistry, and that’s where the best results happen.
- Downtime looks different for everyone. Ablative lasers dive deeper and need more recovery, while non-ablative options are gentler with little to no downtime. Both have a place, depending on your goals.
- Beautiful results build over time. Lasers aren’t magic zaps - they’re renewal tools. Most patients see the best improvements after a series of three treatments, followed by simple maintenance to keep skin healthy and glowing.

Is sunscreen actually safe? Or are we actually slathering on chemicals we should fear? In this episode, board‑certified dermatologists Dr. Elizabeth Rostan and Dr. Emily O. McLean unpack the viral claims about sunscreen safety, mineral vs. chemical sunscreens, vitamin D, and the myth of “healthy tans.” They share practical sun protection methods and products to enjoy the outdoors without sacrificing skin health.
Resources mentioned:
- eltaMD® UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46
- eltaMD® Skin Recovery Red Color Correcting Green Tint Broad Spectrum SPF 50
- eltaMD® UV Daily Broad-Spectrum SPF 40
- eltaMD® UV Sheer Broad-Spectrum SPF 50+ (1.7 oz)
- Heliocare Skin Care Dietary Supplement: 240mg Polypodium Leucotomos Extract Pills
- Sol Defense Gummies
- eltaMD® UV Sport Broad-Spectrum SPF 50 - 3oz
Some key takeaways from this episode include:
- Sun exposure is a proven carcinogen; sunscreen isn’t. Decades of data link UV exposure to skin cancer and photoaging. There is no evidence that approved sunscreen filters cause cancer or hormone disruption at real‑world use levels.
- The best sunscreen is the one you’ll use… correctly! Apply generously 30 minutes before you go outside. Take your time putting it on. Reapply every ~90 minutes. You can also lean on UPF clothing and hats to make protection effortless.
- Worried you’re not getting enough vitamin D? Supplement it. Most people won’t make enough from day-to-day sunlight. Oral vitamin D is safe, inexpensive, and reliable.

Drowning in a sea of “anti-aging” products? You’re not alone. In this episode, board-certified dermatologists Dr. Elizabeth Rostan and Dr. Emily McLean throw you a lifeline: the Skin Care Pyramid – a simple, science-backed framework Dr. Rostan developed to help patients focus on what really works. Learn the three essentials every routine needs, how to layer antioxidants and retinoids, and what to skip so you can age with intention, not fear.
Resources mentioned:
- Epionce Daily Shield Tinted SPF
- SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF®
- SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic®
- SkinBetter Science® Alto Defense Serum™
- Avène RétrinAL 0.1 Intensive Cream
- Differin Gel
In this episode you’ll learn:
- The Skin Care Pyramid is your foundation. Just like a strong house starts with a base, healthy skin begins with the essentials (sunscreen, antioxidants, and a retinoid) before adding extras (like growth factors, peptides, or eye creams).
- Not all products are created equal. Stability, concentration, and science-backed testing matter more than marketing claims or luxury packaging. A $20 vitamin C serum isn’t the same as one designed to actually penetrate and protect your skin.
- Consistency is the real secret. You don’t need the strongest retinoid or the fanciest serum. Success comes from finding products you can tolerate and use throughout your life.

When most people hear "dermatologist," they think acne, Botox, or maybe that mole they’ve been meaning to get checked. But dermatology is far more than skin deep. In this episode, Dr. Elizabeth Rostan and Dr. Emily O. McLean pull back the curtain on what dermatologists actually do: everything from catching life-threatening skin cancers to helping patients feel like themselves again with cosmetic treatments.
You’ll hear how Dr. Rostan, a fellowship-trained cosmetic dermatologist, and Dr. McLean, a medical dermatologist who loves problem-solving, took very different paths into the same specialty. Those journeys shaped the way they practice today, combining science, art, and teamwork to give patients the best possible care.
They’ll also explain why the line between medical and cosmetic care isn’t as clear as you might think - and why your next dermatology visit could make a bigger impact than you expect. Whether you’re coming in for a skin check, a rash, or just a refresh, this episode will give you a new appreciation for the strategy and artistry behind truly healthy skin.
In this episode you’ll learn:
- Dermatology is more than skin deep. Your dermatologist is also trained to recognize internal conditions that show up on the skin, hair, and nails.
- Medical and cosmetic often overlap. Many conditions like acne, rosacea, and sun damage require a combination approach, using prescriptions, lasers, and skincare to improve skin health and appearance together.
- Dermatology blends science, art, and teamwork! Lifelong learning, advanced training, and a collaborative team (physicians, PAs, estheticians, and laser specialists) ensure patients receive safe, comprehensive care.
