In an industry constantly promoting the newest device or technology, why has microneedling remained a cornerstone of skin rejuvenation?In this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rady Rahban is joined by aesthetic nurse Charlene for part four of their five-part series examining today's most popular nonsurgical aesthetic treatments.Together, they explore the science behind microneedling, how controlled collagen stimulation can improve skin texture, tone, fine lines, acne scars, and overall skin quality, and why this relatively simple treatment continues to earn the confidence of experienced providers despite the constant introduction of newer technologies.Dr. Rahban and Charlene also discuss the differences between microneedling devices, why the quality of the equipment and technique matter, the role of PRP, PRF, hyaluronic acid, and other skin boosters, what to expect during recovery, and the importance of proper post-treatment care to maximize both safety and results.This episode isn't about chasing the latest trend or claiming that one treatment can solve every skin concern. It's about understanding why microneedling has remained a foundational treatment in aesthetic medicine—and why, for many patients, it represents one of the safest, most effective long-term investments in healthier, more resilient skin.✨ If you enjoyed this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored:✔️ Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.✔️ Rate & Review—your feedback helps more people find us.✔️ Follow Dr. Rady Rahban across all platforms for daily insights, behind-the-scenes, and patient education:Instagram: @drradyrahbanTikTok: @radyrahbanMDYouTube: @Rady RahbanFacebook: @Rady Rahban✔️ Share this episode with someone considering plastic surgery—the right knowledge can save a life.
Send us Fan MailIn this special episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Dr. Jean Carruthers MD, FRCSC, FRC(Ophth), the pioneer of cosmetic botox, world Renowned cosmetic surgeon & award winning researcher. What began as an unexpected patient interaction ultimately changed the way the world thinks about facial aging, leading to the development of cosmetic botulinum toxin treatments that continue to shape the field today.Dr. Carruthers reflects on the remarkable journey from treating patients with functional eye disorders to recognizing an entirely new application for botulinum toxin. At a time when cosmetic options for expression lines were limited, the idea of selectively relaxing muscles to soften wrinkles represented a completely new approach. Yet the path from observation to acceptance was far from easy. Early presentations were met with skepticism, and it was rigorous research, clinical evidence, and persistence that ultimately transformed a controversial idea into one of the most extensively studied treatments in aesthetic medicine.Throughout the conversation, Dr. Carruthers emphasizes the role of curiosity in scientific discovery. Many breakthroughs, she explains, emerge not from certainty but from paying attention to unexpected outcomes and asking better questions. That mindset continues to guide her perspective on the future of aesthetics, from preventative treatments and regenerative medicine to emerging technologies that may change how outcomes are measured and understood.More than a history lesson, this episode offers a rare glimpse into the mindset behind true innovation. Listen to the full episode to hear Dr. Jean Carruthers share the story behind the discovery that revolutionized aesthetics, her perspective on the future of regenerative medicine, and why the most important tool in science may be an open mind.Read about Dr. Jean CarruthersDon't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!Support the show

Send us Fan MailWrinkles, sagging, and pigment are easy targets because we can see them, measure them, and sell treatments for them. But I keep coming back to a more uncomfortable question: are we actually treating aging, or are we only managing the appearance of aging? In this conversation, I sit down with Dr. Suzan Obagi, a leader in cosmetic dermatology and cosmetic surgery and Associate Professor in Dermatology and Plastic Surgery from the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and former President of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, to follow the smoke back to the fire and talk about what really drives skin aging and recovery.We break down intrinsic aging versus extrinsic aging and why epigenetics, inflammation, and oxidative stress matter as much as lasers and injectables. Dr. Obagi explains what collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans do, why their production peaks early, and why menopause can accelerate collagen decline. We also get honest about hormone replacement therapy: how estrogen affects skin, mood, joints, vessels, brain health, and wound healing, where risks truly live, and why many women are still mismanaged with symptom-only fixes. If you care about healthspan, longevity, menopause skin changes, and better surgical outcomes, this part will shift your perspective.Then we turn practical. You'll hear the simplest high-yield skincare routine we both rely on: cleansing, well-formulated antioxidants morning and night, moisturizers that support barrier function, mineral sunscreen, and retinoids with realistic timelines for results. We also unpack why some medspa “annual” treatment advice keeps people on a treadmill, and we look ahead at where anti-aging medicine may go next, from rapamycin analogs to NMN to the promise and complexity of Yamanaka factors.If this made you rethink your approach to anti-aging skin care, hormone health, or aesthetic medicine, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find it.Dr. Suzan Obagi links:Instagram: @suzanobagimdWebsite:http://dermatology.pitt.edu/people/suzan-obagi-mdTweet me @realdrhamrahIG @drhamrah
In aesthetic practice, consent is rarely the issue; it is the quality of that consent that determines whether you are protected if something goes wrong. In this episode of The Aesthetic Shift, NP Kelly Beasy is joined by solicitor and former AHPRA investigator David Gardner to unpack where clinicians are most exposed and what defensible consent really looks like in practice. Why this matters for clinicians Aesthetic complaints rarely come down to technical error alone. More often, they stem from a mismatch between what the patient expected and what was actually documented. This conversation explores why signed consent forms often fall short, how treating patient desire (not disease) shifts your risk profile, and what “informed consent” really means from a regulatory perspective. Where clinicians get caught out Common pressure points include vague patient requests, incomplete documentation of expectations, and situations where the clinical outcome is sound but the patient is still dissatisfied. David also shares insights into what holds up when a patient says, “I did not know that could happen,” when to pause or decline treatment, and whether refunds truly reduce risk.

Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF) is rapidly becoming one of the most talked-about tools in regenerative aesthetics. But with the excitement comes an important question: is it truly safe? In this powerful Rohrich Knose Best conversation, regenerative medicine expert Dr. Charlie Hee breaks down the real science behind PDGF, separating hype from evidence. We dive into how PDGF stimulates healing, collagen production, and tissue regeneration—and directly address the concerns many physicians and patients have about possible cancer risks. Is PDGF the future of cosmetic medicine, or are we moving too fast without enough long-term data? This episode delivers the facts, the controversies, and the future of regenerative aesthetics.

In this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav is joined by Dr. Steven Dayan, Dr. Sabrina Fabi, and Dr. Nathan LeBrasseur—key advisory voices behind AMWC Americas—for an inside look at why this meeting has become one of the most influential platforms shaping modern aesthetic medicine.As an official media partner, Skin Anarchy and Dr. Ekta are part of the global conversations unfolding at AMWC Americas—conversations that go far beyond injectables to explore longevity science, systems-based care, and how real-world clinical insight travels across borders. What makes this meeting different, the guests explain, is its truly international lens. From early-career clinicians to seasoned experts, the meeting prioritizes anatomy, physiology, and safety—most notably through its standing-room-only live cadaver dissection sessions. For many providers, this hands-on anatomical education is both rare and transformative, refining technique and elevating patient outcomes.A central theme throughout the conversation is the convergence of aesthetics and longevity. Rather than focusing solely on correction, AMWC Americas increasingly addresses hormones, peptides, nutrition, inflammation, and metabolic health—recognizing that durable aesthetic results depend on biological resilience, not isolated procedures.Listen in to hear why AMWC Americas isn't just a conference—it's a benchmark for where the field is headed.Attend AMWC AmericasRegister for AMWC Americas: use code EKTA for 20% off registrationAt AMWC, make sure to join the incredible presentations scheduled by Dr. Nathan LeBrasseur, Dr. Steven Dayan, Dr. Sabrina Fabi, and Dr. Ekta Yadav!Dr. Nathan LeBrasseur:Welcome Keynote Address: Aging: Can We Intervene?

In this episode of the Business of Aesthetics Podcast, host Adeesha is joined by Dr. Gregory Buford, a nationally recognized board-certified plastic surgeon, author, and speaker known for his forward-thinking business strategy and entrepreneurial approach to practice management. The discussion, titled "The Entrepreneurial Edge in Aesthetic Medicine," tackles a critical vulnerability in the industry: the fact that most highly-trained medical professionals are never taught how to actually run a business. Dr. Buford warns that in a field changing at a "logarithmic" pace, a static, "business as usual" approach is a recipe for failure, and provides an essential blueprint for why cultivating an entrepreneurial mindset is the single most critical factor for success in the modern aesthetics market. Dr. Buford defines this essential mindset as a "constant strival for growth, change, and evolution" that "never accepts the word no". He outlines practical strategies for sharpening this skill, emphasizing "constant education" not just in medicine, but voraciously across disparate fields like philosophy, art, and business to develop the ability to "think out of the box". He explains that entrepreneurs must be receptive, know how to pivot, and actively create opportunities rather than waiting for them. This relentless drive for learning is captured in his core belief, which he once shared with a patient: "The day that in any profession that you think you know it all, hang up your hat because you don't". From a practice management perspective, Dr. Buford identifies professional relationships as one of the most "underappreciated aspects" of success, noting "it's not about always what you know, it's who you know". He shares his strategy for building this network by "paying it forward" and offers a key negotiation tactic from his time at Kellogg: always "leave a few crumbs behind for your opponent", as it's a small world and you will likely work with them again. Looking to the future, he demystifies AI, advising practitioners to use it as an "assistant" to augment their work, not a "crutch" that replaces critical thinking. Finally, Dr. Buford tackles the biggest hurdle for high-achievers: the fear of failure. He reframes failure not as an endpoint, but as a "call to action and... a pivot point", revealing that his own biggest early mistake was "the arrogance of thinking that I could do it all by myself". He makes a powerful case that true success comes from humility, the ability to "ask for help", and the wisdom to "put your ego on the shelf". His key takeaway is that in the rapidly evolving world of aesthetics, the greatest risk isn't failing, but becoming complacent.

Your beauty plan should be tailored to you—your goals, your timeline, and what you're comfortable with when it comes to recovery and results. Dr. Bass explains his idea of “right-sized beauty planning” and why having a personalized approach makes all the difference in plastic surgery.

Dr. Bass breaks it down into three types of beauty plans: one that focuses on a single area, one for short-term maintenance, and one that takes a long view over several years. Your plastic surgeon is key in guiding you through the process and making sure your plan fits your life and goals. About Dr. Lawrence Bass Innovator. Industry veteran.
