I don't know if it's because I work in the field, but I don't fall for advertising. If anything, I'm extra skeptical about anything and everything, and sometimes skip valuable products because of it. Are you the same way? What products/services do you usually get sucked into if the advertising is good?

I mean, it only makes sense. You’ve seen the tricks, so your guard is up by default. The things that still work on me are always products recommended by creators I trust, tools that clearly save time or money... and sometimes brands that care for a genuinely emotional or relatable story instead of just pushing features.

Every study I’ve seen on the subject actually suggests that advertising works more on people in the industry than it does on others.

I’m interested in pursuing cosmetic dermatology (possible Botox and laser treatment) for the first time. I’ve done a ton of research and the derm I’m most interested in going to charges a $150 consult fee but does NOT apply that cost to any treatments you get, whereas from my research it seems like derms in my city usually do apply the consult fee to the treatments. Would you pass on her due to that additional cost, or consider it worth it to see the derm you want to see?
