Since the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis, we’ve experienced a tidal wave of new information. While we all work to overcome this new challenge it can be difficult to quickly identify and separate out false information like the misleading treatments the FTC has warned of in their recent announcement.
With that mind, New Beauty set out and asked several Dermatologists for their feedback on how patients can properly vet advertised treatments including our own Dr. Tami Cassis who provided the quote featured below:
“Make sure your doctor is board certified,” says Prospect, KY dermatologist Tami Buss Cassis, MD. “Doctors certified by the American Board of Medical Specialties go through significant training and ‘Do No Harm’ is rule number one when you take the Hippocratic oath.”
This issue is unlikely to resolve itself easily and we recommend that all patients stay vigilant during these difficult times. If you see any mention of potential treatments on the internet, please contact our team before engaging in those potentially harmful activities.

In their new article, New Beauty recommends cleaning your makeup brushes to prevent introducing new bacteria on your skin.
“It has always been important to clean your brushes to protect your face from germs, which includes bacteria, virus and fungus,” she says. “But, of course, it’s now important that we reflect on the fundamentals of life and make sure we are measuring up.”
Cleaning your make up brushes will help you avoid bacterial infections, viral infections and fungal infections. Call to schedule an appointment if you have any concerns.
New Beauty shared a list of reasons you may be experiencing dandruff for the first time during COVID-19. One of the main reasons is stress, as pointed out by our own Dr. Cassis.
“Just about every diagnosis in dermatology can be linked to flare when the body is under stress,” says dermatologist Tami Buss Cassis, MD, who offers encouraging words of wisdom: “Back at the ranch, it’s ideal to stay home and help manage your stress—but, if you have an issue, your board-certified dermatologist has your back. Reach out to your local dermatology office for a telederm appointment and they will walk you through specific tips that can help you.”
