What Dr Anthony Brissett has said

• “Menopause can bring noticeable changes to the skin and face, and patients are increasingly making that connection when they come in for a consultation. What we are seeing is a greater willingness to talk openly about those effects and to ask what is happening, what is normal, and what options may exist. Our goal is to empower women with knowledge and help them navigate this life stage with confidence.”

• “There are things that actors and actresses will share with me that bother them about their appearances. I have a hard time seeing it. Then I'll watch them on television and yeah, sure enough, there it is. They're under a high level of scrutiny and feeling this desire to look the same continuously.”
