Today, in the era of social networks, there is a great demand from consumers for professional and factual information about dermo-cosmetic care products, mainly a desire to know about the ingredients, their effectiveness, and their correct use.

Today, she manages the skin department at the Rothschild Health Fund of Clalit Health Services and in addition, operates a chain of private aesthetic clinics that she owns.
