Perricone is an Adjunct Professor of Medicine at Michigan State University’s College of Human Medicine, from which he received his Doctor of Medicine. He has over 40 United States patents and appeared in two special programs on Public Broadcasting Service. Perricone sells his own line of skin care products. According to PEERtrainer, Perricone presents himself as a radical in the dermatological community, repeatedly encouraging his audience to challenge the status quo. He compares his work relating diet to skin care with Ignaz Semmelweis"s work on hand washing and the spread of disease in the 1800s.
Perricone takes a staunchly anti-Botox stance.
He argues that an anti-inflammatory diet plus nutritional supplements and topical anti aging products can produce a better result in fighting the aging process. In an interview with Marie Claire magazine, Perricone writes that "Botox is a neurotoxin that paralyzes the muscle.
After people use it, they start losing volume in their face, and that accelerates the appearance of aging.".
