Gloss Angeles
Dr. Shah Talks Filler Complications, Bed Bugs, No Nuance and Other Frightening Skincare Trends
Season 1, Ep. 353
•
Today we have the most-followed dermatologist on social media as our guest, but don't let that title phase you — Dr. Muneeb Shah is a board-certified dermatologist that happens to have 21M+ followers on social media. Dr. Shah (@dermdoctor on TikTok or @doctorly on Instagram) rose to fame on social for democratizing skincare advice from a dermatologist for the masses.
He completed his undergraduate studies at Hofstra University, medical school at Nova Southeastern University, and dermatology residency at Campbell University. He recently joined friend-of-the-pod Dr. Bhanhusali at Hudson Derm and Laser Surgery in New York City, where he's a partner. Today we discuss how he got to this point in his career, how he feels about dermatologists leaving the medical field to become full-time content creators, why he loves clinical dermatology and will always continue to see patients, and he answers some rather spooky skincare questions just in time for Friday the 13th, like filler migration, improper use of viral skincare product A313, and the very relevant topic of bed bugs.
