More about me as a Cosmetic Dermatologist:
Hi my name is Dr. Stefani Kappel and I’m a board certified Dermatologist! I’ve been practicing dermatology for 15 years and have been obsessed with skin my entire life.
Authenticity and honesty is my priority. Unlike many dermatologists on CZcams I do not accept any paid partnerships. I never have and I never will. Everything I post from skincare to in office procedures are ones that I truly believe in.
After obtaining my medical degree I completed a residency in a dermatology at UCLA. I took my first job as full time faculty at UCLA as professor of Dermatology.
It was then my love for teaching expanded and I began to educate thru social media. I post educational videos for my patients and for “skin nerds” like me who want to take their understanding of skin care to the next level.
Thank you for joining my CZcams Derm family 💙
I am also the creator and formulator of MDAiRE Skincare

So about time someone's calling out these 2020 covid push through it's unreal and god for bid someone has critical thinking. Smh 🤦♂️
I feel bad calling them out. But I feel worse watching it happen and not doing anything about it :/
Please do not feel bad. I was being told by everyone that "i just have bad luck" and being gaslighted into thinking I was the problem but both these clinics and my friends when I would tell them about all the shady things I've seen going on in these clinics. And with some of the results I got. Lots of people are not meeting up to their social media and google review hype. In fact a lot of them aren't just misrepresenting their skills, but even misrepresenting what their offices look like. @@DrStefaniKappel
I’ve found the right provider. It’s you! Just need to make an appointment 🎉
Awww thank you! I look forward to seeing you. But it doesn't have to be me. Just someone with equal qualifications. They are out there, just harder to fine now that our specialty is infiltrated with so many underqualified providers with misleading credentials :(
Seriously! I wish I lived closer or she was in the DFW area. My dermatologist isn't the greatest, she didn't address my skin and wrote me off to a laser tech. She couldn't answer my questions accordingly, and I felt cattled. Which happens to be known one of the best in the area.
After checking credentials, it’s important to me that my doctor matches the aesthetic I believe in. Depends on the look you are going for but in my case, if the doctor looks overdone - I run the other way! Very lucky to have Dr Kappel as my doctor for almost 4 years now!!!!!
@isabelg8788 You are SO lucky! I’ve just discovered her videos and she is a precious resource. I’d make an appointment with her in a nano second if I lived in the US!
I know exactly what you mean. I went to a doctor just for a facial and his lips and cheeks were so over done that is scared me off of having anything more done. .
It really is the Wild West out there, so many “medi-spas” with people who do not have adequate training. Thankful for ethical and well trained providers like you to give people this important information. shared with family &friends. 👍🏼🙌🏼 thank you Stefani
Thank you for listing the ASDS ASLMS and AAD instead of just saying to check credentials. This video is so helpful!
When I first started getting botox 4 years ago, the nurse I saw was still in training. She wasn't quick but she perfected her technique for my face. After moving across the country 2 years ago I still haven't found a doctor that is even close to being as good as she was. Proper training does go a long way.
Exactly. That is why I said not to get hung up on if the provider is an MD or a nurse. Also, a nurse that’s been injecting since day one will be a lot better than a nurse from a different specialty is crossing over into aesthetics. I see that a lot too. Just because you were an ICU nurse for 10 years does not mean you’re going to be good with lasers.
Wonderful video Dr. Stefani - I'm not looking for procedures right now, but still watched to the end. Valuable information xx
Thank you !!
I love Hydra facials so much. Relaxation and you get a fantastic glow. So glad to have this information. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Thank you, thank you again and again. The information is like a treasure. Love ❤️
You're so welcome!!!
You are so correct. It is scary, I am not in the aesthetic field, actually I am in the veterinary field, but because I do my research I have so many ads for injector training.
Dr. K's hair looks amazing like that. She's my new hero. 🙏🏼 I would love to work for her or run an office for her in the suburb DFW area. That clinic would be booked.
Thank you so much for all of the information you share with us.
You are so welcome!
thank you for this priceless information!
Glad it was helpful! My pleasure 😊
i followed ur advice completely and think i found one! hes a DNP APRN FNP-C and Dermatology certified nurse injector with about 15 years of aesthetic dermatology experience in injectables only.
Again, another fantastic informative video. Thank you so much for sharing your wealth of information. This is very helpful when looking for a provider.!!
You are so welcome!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!
You're so welcome!!!
Thank you so so much Dr. Kappel for this extremely eye opening informative very helpful video!!! I’m getting ready to have my first procedure done at 60.. yes 60. I know I’m a little late to the game but I live in the Midwest 😊 where these procedures aren’t that readily available. Here comes the scary part. After watching your great videos & using your skincare I want to have Sculptra injected but I’m terrified. I have an appointment this week. I’m taking notes during this video so I can ask the right questions. Plus, my husband doesn’t want me to have this done so I have to do this behind his back. He’s afraid it’s going to mess up my beautiful face. I don’t think it’s beautiful but I’m glad he does.😊 Maybe I’ll regret it. Hopefully not if I find the right person. Hopefully I will thanks to you. Thanks again. Have a great week.🙌🙌🙌🙌
Thank you for sharing and nooo it is never too late ;). It is hard enuf dealing with the apprehension of doing a procedure and trusting a provider. Having a spouse or significant other who doesn't support it (I have that problem too :/) adds an extra layer of stress on top of it. You know what to do and what questions to ask and if you do not feel comfortable with the provider then don't be afraid to walk away. Its you face. Best of luck and let us know what happens. ps I love Sculptra and the results it gives ;) Good luck babe!!
Thank you
Thanks for the video! Would the same recommendations go for Ellacor?
Could you please do a video on your opinion of at-home red light therapy devices?
Huge thank you. Please, if I can't get on your calendar...I'm in Houston, TX. Can you recommend one or two providers in Houston texas for botox and/or lasers to treat post-surgery scars?
Is Thermage FLX better than Thermage? And I have only found one that has the only the ASLMS and her assistant is an LPN that has ASCMS and has attended their national conference. She has completed Palomar training courses in the use of multiple lasers, including IPL, 1064 Nd-Yag, 1540 Fractional Erbium, and Q-switched Yag. She has also attended numerous workshops and training sessions by Thermage. I am interested in Thermage. Do they sound good to treat me with thermage?
Ok you look fantastic! What did you do? Eyes? Thanks for all of your insight. It has been invaluable!
I just had my brows microbladed - Thanks!!!
Thank you so much for this information! Would you know of someone you could recommend in Paris or elsewhere in France?
How long does it take to get an appointment with you?
Could you please recommend a doc in Houston, Texas? So many are not good. Thank you!
You’ve taught me..I Google dermatologist double fellowship etc closest to me and voila they come up; and it’s worth a consult. I’ll pay for education. I’m in Houston, Tx close to renown med center and Memorial Villages; and I’ve seen catastrophic catastrophes in a mentor and friends. So, I’m couscous. So, I follow you
PERFECT!!! It doesn't have to be double fellowship trained provider. Just one fellowship will even put you in the BEST hands! It is an extra year of intense aesthetic training for doctors that have already completed their residency. Look in their list of credentials. Hope this helps!!
What lasers, fillers etc have you done this year, you’re looking extra snatched in a great way! :)
I had Thermage done on my lower faceabout 6 months ago and am finally seeing the results now. That was my fourth time having it done (I do it every 5 years)
@@DrStefaniKappelan you do thermage twice a year?
@@janicesmith8946she does thermage every five years
Do you like Venus viva for the face?
You look gorgeous as always, lips especially. Did you do a lip flip?
I've had a cosmetic derm and a plastic surgeon recommend Sculptra. I keep hearing don't do fillers. So confusing. I have a short neck to chin ratio and now my face is getting droopy. I've changed so much, especially since my total hysterectomy last year.
In my country you can not do procedures if not an md. My injector is a maxillofacial surgeon. She’s on point with my asymmetry and my post braces face:). In my residency every treatment plan I did ( Radiation Oncology ) my attending double checked and I still consoult my plans 15 years later.
That is how it should be
What country?
What happens when you use hydrocortisone on your face? It damaged my skin. I had an allergic reaction to sunscreen and my whole face had bumps with pus all over. The emergency room doctor told me to use it and after that my skin was ruined. I never had oily skin until I used that hydrocortisone on my face and I also noticed my pores look larger and I had hyperpigmentation all over my face.
in my area what ive noticed the most is that most med spas really do push Morpheus RF and they require you to buy 3 sessions prior to the procedure. i feel like because there is not an MD at most of these offices, they cannot offer lasers and so they really push the microneedling/fillers, etc when in reality those may not be the best option. I really dislike the idea of being forced to pay for 3 sessions of something that if you absolutely hate the first one, there is no refund and you are just out the money for the other 2 if you do not choose to keep doing it. i personally am saving up for laser treatments/thermafrax instead of fillers.
You pretty much summed it up in your comment. This is EXACTLY what is happening today.
Do you think it would okay if I got bottox on chin, jaw and for RBF all on the same day? or should I wait, and get them done separately.
It is fine to get all of those areas treated at the same time
A new HIV case has been linked to a “vampire facial” at an Albuquerque spa that closed in 2018, the New Mexico Department of Health said this week.
@@patmandolla1806 I had it done recently and they wiped my face with so much alcohol, I couldn't breath from the fumes. I wonder if alcohol kills hiv?
Hi dr do you do lip lifts at your office? I thought in your videos you said you did but I called the office and she said you didn’t. Can you let me know please?
I called for a consultation for Dr. Cohen and it’s $186. Is this normal? I’m new to all this. Thank you
Hi Dr I have an appointment with you in September I am curious what do you think of the at home device Nira?
I wouldn't waste your money. Sorry to say but its the truth :(
Unfortunately i bought one too....oh well thats life. Haven't used it but dont know if they will take it back it hasnt even been opened yet. Wish people wouldn't promote these things
@@annsumrall2593they have a 90 day return policy. I’ve been liking mine a lot but am paying close attention that the doctor doesn’t recommend it. I feel so lucky we’ve found her!
That is the reasons I did not do anything to my face yet for the reasons you are talking about and I don’t have time to do. Research and that could be tricky too … it’s my face and there no space for mistake here 😂😂😂 I am in Seattle so if anybody knows good esthetics doctors let me know
I don't know anyone in Seattle unfortunately. Thats a smart move.
I’m in Seattle too and I can’t find anyone. Looking in to Vancouver BC, seem to have a lot of places up there, still researching.
Do you know any good providers in Washington or Oregon?
As a nurse practitioner I think it should be a board reportable offense to introduce yourself as a doctor to a patient even if you have a DNP. A lot of patient's really don't understand what an NP even is. Often after I introduce myself as a NP patient's may still either call me a nurse or a doctor, it's a unclear to the lay person what you are, only a small amount of my patient's seem to understand the distinction between nurse, doctor and midlevel. Calling yourself a doctor even if you follow up with "I'm an NP" is too misleading for a patient and is unethical. This topic is debated about on NP forums and most NP's agree with my stance.
Stefani, can you please share what you know of training and certification through “Aesthetic Medical Educators” - is this reputable? and /or what it means for provides that state they are “physician-trained in the administration of Botox and dermal fillers”?
Certifications are kind of trash in my opinion. All that matters is if they finish the residency and fellowship. Anybody can certify anyone they’re not really regulated. A certificate that says that you were trained by a physician doesn’t mean crap either. Because the physician can be any specialty, they don’t had to have done a dermatology residency. Personally, I don’t want to hear you were trying to buy a physician. I want to hear if you are a physician yourself. That’s not to say that there aren’t good nurse, injectors, or PA injectors out there. But if you don’t do a residency or a fellowship as a dermatologist would then you’re not in anyway comparable nor as qualified
And I know you asked for Stephanie’s opinion, but that’s just my personal to sense lol
Hello! How do you professionally ask about if they water down their Botox?
You can ask how they reconstitute it. It should be 2cc of bacteriostatic water for a 100 unit vial. When they water it down to 10-20cc it not only doesn't last as long but it is hi risk for migrating out of the treatment area.
Could you recommend anyone in Miami? Thank you 😊
Or central Florida :) I'm in Tampa :)
Thank you for your great advice. Curious, do you know of anyone in Colorado?
Dr. Joel Cohen
Thank you 😊
Do you know anyone in Houston, Texas. I had a great doc but she’s retiring. Thanks so much.
Exactly don’t practice on your patients
I'm in Annapolis, Maryland if anyone knows someone who is good with lasers, please share!
Look for a provider in your area and check credentials for where they completed a derm residency and fellowship. That is the best advice I can give you. Dr. Terrence Keaney is in that area and an expert I'd trust
@YoungrbyStefaniKappelMD the trouble is, he has no reviews. It says he teaches at Georgetown so maybe he's not practicing as much.
I used to go to Belcara in Towson. I saw Dr. Mostovych for lip filler several times. Hope this helps :) now I live 1000 miles away and am searching again
at my derm office the Nurse Practitoners are way better than the cosmetic dermatologist. He trained in cosmetic fellowship but always makes brow drops. double fellowship trained doesnt always mean they are better!!
I disagree. Any physician who has completed and ACGME accredited fellowship in procedural dermatology has performed thousands and thousands of procedures under intense instruction. He/she is going to be a better provider. This is not true for all dermatologists in general. Some derms don’t get aesthetics training at all. But for fellowship trained dermatologists there is no comparison. Period.
Wow, you look great. You always do but something seems different. Please do make a video on what you've been doing to your face lately - you literally age backwards
Thank you!!!! I haven't done anything recently but in this video I had just had my eyebrows microbladed.
I had all my facial fat melted and permanent scaring from Morpheus. I wish I could sue.
It is so out of control what people are doing out there. All of these complications are occurring because there is no regulation out there in many states. Melting fat with devices, facial asymmetry from watered down botox, scarring from lasers, over filled faces with migrated filler that wasn't injected properly etc etc etc. A change must occur and I can't just turn my head and look away anymore. That is why I posted this video. I am sorry that happened to you.
@@DrStefaniKappel I’m happy I found your channel. So after my facial fat got melted, I was devistated because I can’t afford a face life (my face actually started drooping) so I had no choice but to get filler. I went somewhere, and the girl did the part of my cheeks that was the most needed. She did an amazing job I was happy so I booked to get under eyes and a bit more cheek (to honestly make my face look normal) and they switched me out with this other girl, who I had no idea was in training. She ended up doing my lips and I don’t like them. The filler isn’t terrible… but I shouldn’t of paid full price (almost 800 Canadian and I should of been informed) I’m in Canada and this applies here too. I will only be going to a plastic surgeon for any kind of procedure from now on. It’s way to risky. Your definitely making big changes to the cosmetic industry thank you.
