I've been a dermatologist for 19 years. Last year, a 72-year-old French esthetician taught me more about crepey arms in 30 minutes than I learned in two decades of practice. My name is Cheryl Bennett. Board-certified dermatologist. Nineteen years treating post-menopausal skin conditions. Published in the Journal of Dermatologic Surgery. Over 2,400 patients.

There are two types of crepey arms. One type responds to retinol, microneedling, and everything your dermatologist prescribes. The other type — the one that happened fast, in a few months — doesn't respond to any of it. And there's a biological reason nobody in American dermatology is talking about. I know because I spent 19 years treating both types with the same protocol. And I only found out th

I lost 82 pounds on Mounjaro. I was SO excited to finally wear shorts and sleeveless tops again. I bought three sundresses before I even hit my goal weight. I've worn none of them. My dermatologist never mentioned this would happen. She was celebrating with me while my skin was collapsing. I'm 55. I started Mounjaro in January last year. By August I was down 82 pounds and I felt like I'd gotten my

I have a LOT of sleeveless stuff because I always had nice arms and last summer suddenly... nope. My dermatologist said it was "just aging." Turns out she was dead wrong. I'm 61. I've always had nice arms. Not gym-perfect. Not airbrushed. Just... normal nice arms. The kind you don't think about. The kind you wear sleeveless dresses with and feel good. I have fourteen sleeveless dresses in my close

I lost 40 pounds on Mounjaro. I'm 52. I traded one insecurity for another — same face, wrong skin, wrong texture everywhere else. Everyone tells me how amazing I look — nobody's seen what I see at night. My dermatologist said "just give your skin time." She was wrong. Every month it's worse. I'm 52. I have been heavy my entire adult life. Not fluctuating. Not yo-yoing. Consistently, stubbornly, hu

The truth after losing 80 pounds on mounjaro is that I went from being the fat girl to being the saggy girl. At least when I was fat, my skin was full. My reward is a body I'm still too ashamed to show anyone. No sleeveless dress no shorts. My dermatologist said nothing works turns out she was dead wrong I want to talk about that sentence. The one in the middle. At least when I was fat, my skin wa
