Dermatologist Busts Skincare Myths: Whitening, Botox & Dark Circles

In this episode of the Move to Dubai podcast, host Siddharth Paul (two decades in dermatology equipment, Spectronix Consultancy) asks her what really works, what's hype, and who you should see first: a dermatologist or an aesthetician.
