Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Shari Topper

Sourced directly from Dr. Shari Topper's social posts and replies.

Does the practice offer personalized skincare plan consultations?
Yes, the practice offers consultations to create personalized skincare plans tailored to individual needs.
How does sleep impact skin health?
During sleep, the skin resets by supporting barrier repair, collagen production, circulation, and recovery from daily stressors. Conversely, disrupted sleep can disrupt this restorative process, potentially leading to dryness, sensitivity, dullness, or a more stressed-looking complexion. Dr. Topper considers rest to be as crucial for skin health as traditional skincare routines and treatments, emphasizing that sleep should be an integral part of one's skin health plan, not an afterthought.
What is Dr. Topper's comprehensive recommendation for sun protection?
Dr. Topper recommends wearing broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher, reapplying every two hours when outdoors, and pairing sunscreen with shade, hats, and UPF clothing for comprehensive sun protection. UPF-rated clothing is specifically designed to protect skin from UV radiation and serves as an additional layer of defense alongside daily SPF.
What is the importance of lip filler aftercare?
Patients should always follow the aftercare protocol recommended by their injector for lip filler. It is best to wait for provider approval before applying makeup after lip filler, as giving fresh injection sites time to heal can help minimize the risk of unnecessary irritation or infection.
When is a good time to perform a self-skin check and what should I look for?
August is an opportune time to perform a self-skin check. When performing a skin check, one should look for changes in tone, texture, pigmentation, or any new or changing spots.
When is an ideal time to plan for treatments like laser resurfacing?
Fall is an ideal time to start planning ahead for treatments like laser resurfacing to address the visible signs of summer sun damage.
Does seeing hair in my brush or shower always mean I'm experiencing hair loss?
No, seeing hair in your brush or shower does not always mean you are experiencing hair loss. It is completely normal to shed around 50–100 hairs every day as part of your hair’s natural growth cycle. What matters is when something changes from your normal shedding pattern or hair appearance.
When should I consult a dermatologist about hair loss?
It may be time to check in with a dermatologist if you are suddenly shedding more than usual, noticing a widening part, a thinner ponytail, patches of hair loss, or a more visible scalp. Individuals should pay attention to what is normal for their own hair. For hair loss concerns, it is recommended to consult a dermatologist rather than guessing the cause, as understanding why your hair is changing is the first step toward finding the right treatment.
What are common causes of hair loss and its treatment approach?
Hair loss can stem from various causes, including genetics, hormonal changes, stress, illness, medications, and scalp conditions, which is why there isn’t a single, universal solution. An estimated 80 million men and women in the U.S. are affected by pattern hair loss.
How does skin aging typically progress and what additional support might it need?
Skin changes gradually, which can make it seem like changes appeared overnight. As our skin changes with age, sun exposure, hormones, and lifestyle, it may benefit from additional support beyond a consistent routine.
What is the primary driver of skin aging and its visible effects?
Skin aging is primarily driven by UV exposure rather than chronological age. Every unprotected drive, beach day, patio lunch, and afternoon walk can add to cumulative sun damage, showing up over time as fine lines, uneven pigmentation, rough texture, and loss of elasticity.
How does stress impact skin health and when should a dermatologist be consulted?
Stress doesn't just affect how you feel, it can affect how your skin functions, too. When your body experiences stress, it releases cortisol, a hormone that's designed to help you respond to challenges. But when stress becomes chronic, elevated cortisol can contribute to increased inflammation, disrupt your skin barrier, and make certain skin concerns more noticeable, such as more breakouts, dryness or sensitivity, increased redness, flare-ups of eczema, psoriasis, or rosacea, and skin that takes longer to heal. Alongside healthy stress management, a board-certified dermatologist can help identify what's happening and create a treatment plan tailored to your skin.

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)

$8,004

Payments

173

Compared to peers

Above average

Dr. Shari Topper received $8,004 across 173 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 89% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as consulting fee, and the largest single payer was Dermavant Sciences, 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?”
