In this special bonus Ask An Expert episode I’m joined by Dr Belinda Welsh. A Fellow of the Australasian College of Dermatologists and winner of the Australasian College of Dermatologists Travelling Fellowship, Dr Welsh opened her solo dermatology practice in 2002. In 2010 she was joined by friend of the podcast Dr Cara McDonald and the two founded Complete Skin Specialists. Having served as the Chair of the Victorian Faculty of Dermatologists and currently holding the position of Vice President of Australasian Society of Cosmetic Dermatologists, Dr Welsh was who I felt was the ideal doctor to answer YOUR questions on all things skin rejuvenation. 

Away from our regular brand founder conversations, I am asked so many highly specific questions about the skin. Given that I am an educated consumer and by no means an expert, it would be extremely unethical for me to even attempt to address your skin concerns which is why I insist on taking those questions to a medical doctor. This Ask An Expert series is giving you, the Glow Journal audience, unprecedented access to medical doctors, professors and dermatologists and, while the series is sponsored by Candela Medical, doctors legally and ethically have to remain completely objective in interviews like this. For this reason, this series is giving you, the listeners, completely unbiased expert answers to your most specific skin questions- questions that I cannot answer myself. 

In this episode, we’ve taken the questions YOU submitted on overall skin rejuvenation to Dr Welsh - from whether or not over the counter products can actually help with pigmentation and if gentle skin resurfacing is at all possible from home, through to the link between sensitive skin and redness and if clinical skin treatments really are a permanent solution to our skin woes.
