Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Ellen Marmur

Sourced directly from Dr. Ellen Marmur's social posts and replies.

What conditions does MOXI laser treatment address?
MOXI laser treatment is indicated for addressing fine lines, sun damage, and pigmentation.
When is the ideal time to receive laser treatment for fine lines, sun damage, or pigmentation?
The current time (e.g., cooler months) is often ideal for receiving laser treatment for fine lines, sun damage, or pigmentation.
What are the key benefits of using a moisturizer?
Moisturizer shields skin from external stressors and environmental damage, helps keep conditions like acne and eczema in check, and fights signs of premature aging to keep skin healthy and youthful.
What product does Dr. Marmur recommend for lasting hydration?
The MMSkincare Rescue Cream is recommended for lasting hydration for the face, neck, and body.
What is the first step for postpartum skin reset?
Hydration should be prioritized first for postpartum skin reset.
Can neurotoxins be used for a 'glow' effect?
Yes, neurotoxin can be used to achieve a 'glow' effect.
How can melasma be prevented from returning?
Wearing hats and tinted sunscreen every day helps prevent melasma from returning.
What is Dr. Marmur's approach to skin diagnosis?
Dr. Marmur emphasizes that skin really needs to be seen in person for proper evaluation. Describing a 'weird little spot' or providing a blurry photo is insufficient for accurate diagnosis, and an in-person visit for skin evaluation will be worth the effort.
What is Epiduo and what does it treat?
Epiduo is a new over-the-counter (OTC) acne medication that combines adapalene (a retinoid) and benzoyl peroxide. It targets clogged pores, acne-causing bacteria, and inflammation, making it a great option for many acne-prone patients.
What are common side effects of retinoids and how should they be applied?
Retinoids can cause dryness, peeling, redness, and irritation, especially when first starting. It's recommended to start retinoid use 2-3 nights per week and gradually increase as tolerated. Use a pea-sized amount for the entire face, follow with a moisturizer, and don't forget daily SPF. Avoid piling on other irritating active ingredients at first. A little irritation can happen while your skin adjusts, but burning, significant redness, or persistent irritation is a sign to slow down and check in with your dermatologist.
How can patients find discounts on medication?
Patients can find discounts on medication by checking www.goodrx.com. If your copay is higher than a discount coupon, you can ask your pharmacist to re-process the prescription using the coupon code. Always ensure the medication name, formulation, and dosage match the coupon. This recommendation is not sponsored.
What skincare is recommended for patients in their 20s?
For patients in their 20s, gentle skincare, daily sunscreen, and acne products (if necessary) are recommended.
What skincare and treatments are recommended for patients in their 30s?
For patients in their 30s, starting Botox and mild laser facials are recommended. Mild laser facials can also be used for pre-wedding preparation.
What skincare and treatments are recommended for patients in their 40s?
For patients in their 40s, who may experience deeper wrinkles, slightly deeper laser treatments are recommended.
What skincare and treatments are recommended for patients in their 50s?
For patients in their 50s, serious hydration, Botox, and additional laser treatments are recommended.
What skincare and treatments are recommended for patients in their 60s?
For patients in their 60s, skin tightening and lifting treatments, heavy moisturizer, and deep laser treatments are recommended.
What skincare and treatments are recommended for patients in their 70s?
For patients in their 70s, all treatments recommended for previous decades are also applicable, and it may be time to talk to a plastic surgeon for further options.
What is Dr. Marmur's opinion on discounted injectables (Botox/filler)?
Dr. Marmur strongly advises against buying discounted injectables like Botox or filler, stating it's a 'recipe for disaster' and 'gambling with your face' rather than saving money.
What is Dr. Marmur's opinion on buying peptides from online sellers?
Dr. Marmur advises against buying peptides from online sellers because they are unregulated, meaning there's no way to know what is actually in the vial being injected.
What is Dr. Marmur's opinion on oral collagen supplements?
Dr. Marmur does not recommend oral collagen supplements, stating that the evidence for their efficacy is not yet sufficient.
What is Majocchi’s granuloma and how is it treated?
Majocchi’s granuloma is a deeper fungal infection of the hair follicles, often caused by dermatophytes like Trichophyton. It commonly occurs on the legs, arms, or other hair-bearing areas, especially after shaving, waxing, or minor skin trauma. Unlike a typical superficial fungal rash, it often needs prescription oral antifungal medication. If a 'fungal rash' isn’t improving with creams, it may be time to see a dermatologist.

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 (2025)

$17,535

Payments

20

Compared to peers

Above average

Dr. Ellen Marmur received $17,535 across 20 payments in 2025. That is higher than about 89% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as compensation for services other than consulting, including serving as faculty or as a speaker at a venue other than a continuing education program, and the largest single payer was Solta Medical, a division of Bausch Health US, LLC.

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?”
