Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Ivy DeRosa, DO
Sourced directly from Dr. Ivy DeRosa, DO's social posts and replies.
What is expected of patients during acne treatment?
Patient dedication, discipline, patience, and consistency are essential for achieving significant treatment results. The transformation can take time, with one patient's journey shown to take 2 years. Consistency, routine, and the correct products slowly transform the skin.
What is the best way to combat breakouts?
The best way to combat breakouts is to consult a professional or expert who can help you dissect your condition and offer solutions both topically and orally. Lifestyle and diet suggestions are also provided if necessary.
What should I know about dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning allows products to penetrate the skin more successfully. Rest assured, your hair will not grow back thicker or darker. There is a chance of a mild breakout, so it's ideal to avoid having a special event the day after the procedure, just in case.
What are Dr. DeRosa's recommendations for sun protection and why is it important?
Dr. DeRosa personally wears and recommends UPF gloves or sleeves (like @coolibar) to protect hands and arms, especially for those with a commute. She emphasizes that UVA rays are not filtered by glass or clouds and are at the same intensity year-round. Even short spurts of unprotected sun over time lead to molecular damage, creating genetic mutations that can cause skin cancer, premature aging, precancers, brown spots, and wrinkles. For instance, 10 minutes of daily unprotected UV exposure accumulates to 60 hours a year of damage, and one summer of sun damage can last years on your skin. Developing good skincare habits now can significantly reduce future effort.
Does using SPF prevent Vitamin D synthesis?
No, regular use of SPF does not impede your body's ability to synthesize Vitamin D. Numerous scientific studies confirm this, as SPF allows some UVB to pass through. Food, supplements, and incidental, protected sun exposure will provide all the Vitamin D you need without the risks of unprotected sun exposure. Dr. DeRosa personally supplements daily with a vegan form of D3 and K2. She advises against using Vitamin D synthesis as an excuse to skip sunscreen.
What are Dr. DeRosa's recommendations and advice for using retinoids?
Dr. DeRosa encourages every patient over the age of 20 to start on some kind of retinoid, which dermatologists consider the gold standard of skincare. Retinoids promote rejuvenation, even skin tone, reduce acne and blackheads, increase collagen production, and polish the complexion. Retinol is a milder retinoid than prescription-grade Retin-A, as it needs to be converted to retinoic acid, making it a great starting point. When using retinoids, it's crucial to go slow to avoid irritation, which can create pro-inflammatory and pro-aging reactive oxygen species. Retinoids are recommended for night use because UV radiation can break them down, and increased cell turnover makes skin more susceptible to UV. Therefore, SPF must be used every day. Significant anti-aging results won't appear in a week; consistency, commitment, and time are needed. Many over-the-counter retinol products are available for every skin type; patients should pay attention to their specific skin needs to find a suitable product. She encourages visiting a dermatologist for personalized guidance on the best skincare routine.

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)
$183
Payments
8
Compared to peers
Small
Dr. Ivy DeRosa, DO received $183 across 8 payments in 2024. That is in the lower half for physicians here — totals this size are typically meals at sponsored talks. Most of it was categorised as education, and the largest single payer was Janssen Biotech, 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?”
