When I first saw Dr. Rosemarie Ingleton appear on my TikTok timeline, I immediately stopped scrolling.
But that wasn’t always her goal.

Her two series, Fact vs. You’re a very successful doctor today.
When you were younger, what was your childhood dream job?
I thought I could do both, a professional dancer and a doctor.
Until college, I was actually on a dual road of seriously pursuing dance and medicine.
If you choose medicine, this is something that you might have for the long haul.
I like a glass ofwine.
Something about just having a glass.
Of course, my doctor tells me not to drink a glass every day.
That’s too much.
So I don’t drink every day, but there’s something about having a beautiful, well-made glass.
I first saw your content on TikTok.
How did you get into posting on the platform?
Do you find that people come in looking for that?
Black dermatologists are only 3% of all dermatologists, and they’re scattered around the country.
So they are definitely seeking me out.
You mentioned that if you weren’t a doctor, you would pursue sculpting.
How do you maintain your creativity in your medical practice?
Whenever I’m doingcosmetic dermatology, I’ve been called out on it a few times.
You went into your studio mode.
You were in your sculpting studio and you were gone.
You weren’t even with us.
You were so in tune.
So I know that when I’m doing fillers, I’m an artist.
I am a sculptor.
I know the outcome that I want.
I did an event there with Melanin Moi and my skincare line, Rose M.D.
It was so wonderful, and we took over that loft space as well.
I want to do something else like that again.
Whenever I connect with an audience, I’m thrilled because I can see the lights go on.
