Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Elizabeth Bahar Houshmand

Sourced directly from Dr. Elizabeth Bahar Houshmand's social posts and replies.

What is Dr. Houshmand's philosophy and recommendations for sun protection?
Dr. Houshmand emphasizes that a tan is not a sign of healthy skin, but rather the skin's response to UV damage. She highlights that repeated sun exposure and tanning beds accelerate photoaging and significantly increase the risk of skin cancer. To protect your skin, she recommends daily broad-spectrum SPF 30+ (or higher), reapplying regularly, wearing protective clothing, seeking shade, and avoiding intentional tanning. She firmly believes that prevention is always easier and more effective than treating skin damage afterward.

What is Dr. Houshmand's approach to diagnosing and treating hair loss?
Dr. Houshmand emphasizes that hair loss is not a single diagnosis and can have many different causes. She believes most people need the right diagnosis, not just another hair serum. It's crucial to determine the cause before investing in products, as effective treatment depends on identifying the correct underlying issue. She recommends seeing a board-certified dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis and a personalized treatment plan, as what works for one person may not work for another. If you notice increased shedding, thinning, or other changes, do not guess the cause.

What is Dr. Houshmand's philosophy on scalp treatment?
Dr. Houshmand believes that treating scalp flaking is only part of the solution for scalp issues. Her goal is not just fewer flakes, but a healthier, more comfortable scalp and a routine patients can maintain. As a dermatologist, she seeks treatments that balance effectiveness, tolerability, and consistency, recognizing that even the best treatment won't work if a patient dislikes its smell, texture, or how it affects their hair, leading them to stop using it.

What is Dr. Houshmand's philosophy on skincare product recommendations?
Dr. Houshmand believes that the most expensive product isn't always the best; rather, it's the one with the right, proven ingredients that makes the biggest difference and delivers real results. She recommends simple products that she consistently uses and repurchases herself. For specific needs, she keeps a barrier cream for dry, irritated skin and recommends a lip balm with shea butter and vitamin B5 for year-round use. She also advises applying body oil after moisturizer for a healthy, red-carpet glow.

Does Dr. Houshmand recommend UPF clothing for sun protection, and is it covered by HSA/FSA?
Dr. Houshmand highly recommends UPF clothing as a practical part of a comprehensive sun-protection plan, especially for individuals with a history of skin cancer, photosensitivity, pigment concerns, or frequent outdoor exposure. UPF clothing helps reduce cumulative UV exposure without relying solely on sunscreen. She notes that certain sun-protective clothing may qualify for HSA/FSA reimbursement, though eligibility and requirements can vary.
Source →
Does Dr. Houshmand recommend silk pillowcases?
Yes, Dr. Houshmand recommends silk pillowcases as they help reduce friction on the hair and may minimize hair breakage while sleeping.
Source →
What are Dr. Houshmand's favorite hair styling tools?
Dr. Houshmand's travel favorite for effortless volume is T3 Hot Rollers. She also considers the Dyson Airwrap one of her best hair investments for styling at home with less reliance on extreme heat.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2024)

$1,306

Payments

31

Compared to peers

Moderate

Dr. Elizabeth Bahar Houshmand received $1,306 across 31 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 71% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was ABBVIE INC..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
