I recently had a conversation with Entrepreneur Dr. Estefania Lang CO founder of two startups. In skincare the app Dermanostic. and continued education for physicians Medi login. Dermanostic helps patients to get a fast diagnostic for problems with the skin. This idea came about because it takes a long time to get an appointment for a dermatologist .
I asked can you talk a bit about Dermanostic?
I cofounded Dermanostic in 2019 .The idea is to give access to people in the world to dermatologists because I saw a big problem that they had to wait a long time to see a dermatologists .Now with Dermanostic you don't have to wait a long time to see a doctor.
2.- We have so much advice right now that exists on skincare in social media that people can get very confused . What are the best ingredients for their skin and what is your recommendation to start a skincare regiment for beginners?
The most important is to understand that it doesn't matter what kind of skin you have. There are basic ingredients you can use in your skin care routine such as hyaluronic acid . It is also important to clean your face and take your makeup off. For example if you have oily skin you are going to need a a serum and moisturizer that could give a more matte effect to the skin and if you have dry skin a serum and cream that can hydrate the skin but I always recommended the use of hyaluronic acid.
3-. Lets talk about botox and filler and what is the difference?
The Botulinum toxin is a medicine that is applied on the skin at the Dr's office The botox is being used to relax some muscles of the face like in the forehead that can help you not to get wrinkles in the area. With the fillers we use hyaluronic acid to fill for example in the jawline to create lifting .As we know as we get older we loose volume in our faces.
4-. Skincare and wellness of the skin is connected to your overall health .Your skin is the biggest organ in your body . What are the most common problems you see?
First I think we do a lot. There are certain Asian trends that use to many products on the skin and what happens is that we can create a Perioral Dermatitis which is not good for your skin because this could create more problems . Second we see people who have spending to much time over the years in the sun .With this I see problems with Melasma, discolouration and hyperpigmentation on their skin.
5.- As we are moving more in to digital experiences and Artificial intelligence is in our life , what do you think is the future of skincare medicine?
The future of skincare I believe is going to be hybrid. We are going to consult online but also of course we probably will still visit the dermatologist office and will use apps such as Dermanostic.
You could download the app dermanostic on the appstore.
