This podcast features Cameron Richards, LMT and Faiza Tahir of Somatic Massage Therapy and Spa. The central theme is a therapeutic and educational approach to skincare that extends beyond traditional spa facials.Faiza Tahir, an Esthetician with 13 years of experience, specializes in a holistic methodology, combining advanced in-office treatments with client education and at-home care. A core offering is the Face Reality "Acne Boot Camp," a 100-day program designed to clear acne through bi-weekly treatments and a dedicated product regimen.The spa's philosophy emphasizes treating the skin from both the inside and outside, using modern modalities like LED light therapy and providing clients with a deep understanding of product ingredients and proper skin maintenance. The overall client experience is designed to be efficient, with 50-minute sessions and no downtime, aiming to produce tangible results and a feeling of rejuvenation.Business and Contact InformationYou can connect with Somatic Massage Therapy and Spa through multiple channels for information or to book a free consultation.• Business Name: Somatic Massage Therapy and Spa• Location: 113 Jericho Turnpike, Floral Park, NY (on the border of western Queens and eastern Nassau County)• Website: somaticmassagepc.com• Phone (Call): 516-686-9557 ◦ Fisa's Direct Extension: 7• Phone (Text): 516-447-4373• Booking: Can be done online via somaticmassagepc.com/book-appointment or by calling in.• Remote Consultation: Prospective clients can text a picture of their skin concern for an initial assessment from Fisa.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Key Personnel and ExpertiseFaiza Tahir, Esthetician• Experience: 13 years in the aesthetics industry.• Education: Licensed through the New York Institute of Beauty (NYIB).• Certifications: Acne certified by Face Reality.• Dual Expertise: Holds experience working in both day spas and medical spas, giving her proficiency in both "relaxing facials" and "clinical graded facials."• Role: Serves as the Master Esthetician at Somatic Massage Therapy and Spa, performing all facials, peels, and skincare treatments. She is driven by a passion to "make a difference in the skins."Cameron Richards, Licensed Massage Therapist• Role: As a licensed massage therapist, Cameron highlights the critical need for skincare education, which he personally received from Faiza• Perspective: He emphasizes that the average consumer often lacks the knowledge to select appropriate skincare products, potentially causing more harm than good. He notes, "...if I don't know much imagine the average person out there who just walks into a Target Walgreens and just pick up anything off the shelf because they think it's going to work and they end up doing more harm."• Focus on Education: Cameron ensures that education is a key component of the client experience at the spa, particularly for men who may not be aware of proper skin cleansing and exfoliation techniques post-shaving.Core Skincare PhilosophyTherapeutic Treatments over Standard FacialsFaiza distinguishes the spa's services from conventional facials, framing them as targeted treatments.• Quote: "These are not only facials. These are therapeutical treatments we do. We do not use the word treatment at this spa, but these are the therapeutical... facial for them."• Day Spa vs. Med Spa: Fisa clarifies that while med spa products contain highly "active" ingredients used under a doctor's supervision, the spa's professional-grade products are highly effective and bring about significant changes in the skin.A Holistic "Inside and Out" ApproachThe treatment philosophy is comprehensive, addressing skin health from multiple angles.• External Healing: In-office treatments focus on healing the skin from the outside using professional products and modalities.• Internal Healing: Clients are provided with products, such as vitamins from the Face Reality line, to promote healing from within.• Hydration: The importance of hydration, both oral and topical, is stressed for all skin types, including acne-prone and mature skin.Specialized Acne Treatment Program: The Face Reality Boot CampA cornerstone of the spa's offerings is a structured, results-oriented program for acne clients.• Objective: To clear the client's skin within 100 days (approximately 3 months).• Process: 1. Free Consultation: The process begins with a skin analysis and a thorough review of the client's current home care products and their ingredients. 2. Bi-Weekly Treatments: Clients come in every two weeks for in-office procedures. 3. Dedicated Home Care: Clients are instructed to use Face Reality products at home, which Fisa describes as "amazing" and working "like a magic."• Results Timeline: Clients typically begin to see a noticeable difference in their skin after just three weeks of consistent in-office treatments and home care.The Client Journey and Treatment ExperienceConsultation and In-Office Procedure• Initial Step: The client journey starts with a free consultation to analyze the skin and educate the client about products that may be exacerbating their condition.• Treatment Duration: The in-office session is efficient, lasting approximately 50 minutes.• Treatment Steps: A standard session includes cleansing, exfoliation, extractions, and calming the acne.• Client Feedback: Following a treatment, clients report a distinct sensation of freshness. Fisa notes, "Most of my client... they tell me... we are feeling that our skin is breathing now." This is attributed to clearing clogged pores, allowing oxygen to penetrate the skin.Post-Treatment and Downtime• No Downtime: Clients can immediately return to their daily activities.• Minor Side Effects: There may be slight edema (swelling) or redness for 20 minutes to one hour following extractions, but this subsides quickly.Available Technologies and Targeted ConcernsSomatic Massage Therapy and Spa is equipped with modern modalities to address a variety of skin concerns.Technology / Treatment PurposeSaluma LED Light TherapyUtilizes different light wavelengths to treat skin.

This value is the heartbeat of Beyond Esthetics, and in this episode, you'll hear why.✨ We talk about: How comparison can sneak into your career (and what to do about it) The real growth that comes from collaboration and support Personal stories from all three of us about letting go of ego and choosing connection Why mentorship, community, and sisterhood change the game And how to start building that kind of support right nowIf you've ever felt like you're “behind,” like someone else's success takes away from yours, or like you're doing it all alone — this episode is a reminder that you don't have to be.

The Skin Real app is officially LIVE! Download it now. Shop my skincare favorites here. In this episode of The Skin Real Podcast, I break down the top 5 reasons why working with an esthetician might be the missing link in your skincare routine — even if you already have a dermatologist. If you're confused about what estheticians actually do (or whether you even need one), this episode is for you. I talk about how estheticians can support your skin between medical treatments, help you stay consistent with your plan, and bring a level of hands-on care that many people are missing, especially during seasons of skin change. Estheticians aren't here to replace medical care, but when you find a good one, they can really elevate your results. Because great skin doesn't happen from products alone. And it doesn't happen overnight. But it can happen — with the right guidance, the right support, and a routine that actually works for your skin. If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just not seeing the results you want, this episode is for you. Need an app? Click here to get $100 off at Vyten.

Looking for help with your skin but overwhelmed by too many products and not enough clarity? You're not alone. One of the most common questions I hear in my dermatology practice is: “How do I find a great esthetician?” Whether you're new to facials, trying to streamline your routine, or looking for someone to guide you through seasonal skin changes, partnering with the right skincare professional can make all the difference. That's where a qualified esthetician comes in. In this episode, I'm joined by Lindsey Holder, a licensed esthetician with over 15 years of experience, to talk about exactly what an esthetician can (and can't) do, how they can work hand-in-hand with your dermatologist, and what to look for before you book your first appointment. We also share the red flags to watch for and the questions you should always ask so you can feel confident about the person caring for your skin. Key Takeaways: The difference between estheticians and dermatologists—and why you might benefit from both. Services and guidance a qualified esthetician can provide (and where their scope ends). Red flags to avoid before booking your first appointment. The must-ask questions to find a pro who fits your needs. Why collaboration between medical and aesthetic care gives better results. Lindsey Holder is a Licensed Master Esthetician and Certified Thermographer with over 15 years of experience in the skincare and wellness industry.

This week we meet the Hollywood makeup artist Farah Bunch whose work has earned her multiple nominations in Daytime and Primetime TV Awards and Hollywood Makeup Artist and Hair Stylist Guild Awards. Her work over several seasons on the hugely successful TV Comedy Will & Grace proved a pivotal moment in her career. Other notable credits include Dancing with the Stars, The Oscars, Sunset Beach, Entourage, Fuller House, and Makeup Department Head on Frazier on Paramount +. Farah was born in 1975 in Toluca Lake, California where she and her brother Justin were raised in the long shadow of the Hollywood sign. Her parents; the producer and six-time Emmy nominated film and television composer Velton Ray Bunch, and three-time Emmy nominated makeup artist Patricia (Patty) Bunch who were once the Disco Band known as Strut, introduced Farah to a life on set from an early age. She was five years old when she made her set debut. She also has a couple of acting credits to her name. But it was always going to be makeup that would be the foundation of her career from the moment at 18 when she graduated from the Joe Blasco Makeup School. Her mother's status in the industry and guidance on set steered her into multi-camera shoots, which is the world she loves most of all, despite having early ambitions to be a pop-singer with encouragement from her father. She remains inspired by her music and is currently writing a musical with her father. Farah recently obtained a license from the International College of Beauty in Esthetician and Cosmetology. She lives in Toluca Lake, California with her two cats.

In this episode, Katarina sits down with friend and fellow aesthetician Melissa Rossi to dig into the world of skincare trends vs. results-driven treatments. With over 20 years in the aesthetics industry, Melissa shares her experience moving from day spas to medical aesthetics to finally launching her own studio in Ontario, Canada. Together, they unpack the rise of skincare influencers, TikTok trends, and social media hype — and how these can mislead clients away from true skin health. Topics Covered:Melissa's 20+ year skincare journey: from spas to surgery centers to solo studioWhy she finally went solo and the birth of In Skin StudioThe problem with comparing influencer advice vs. aesthetician expertiseWhy credentials and experience matter in skin healthThe truth about popular skincare trends:Face taping vs. Botox: does it actually work?The beef tallow craze: is it the new coconut oil for your face?At-home microneedling: what you need to know about safety and resultsThe power of personalization in skincare treatmentsClinical data, ingredient integrity, and real results vs. aesthetics and brandingHow estheticians build skin protocols from experience, not viral contentKey Takeaways:Not all skincare advice is created equal. Just because something worked for one influencer doesn't mean it works for your skin.Many trends, like face taping or beef tallow, may feel satisfying but lack long-term clinical support — and can do more harm than good.Professional treatments like microneedling, chemical peels, and customized skincare protocols offer proven results.A great esthetician doesn't just look at your skin — they consider your health, habits, and goals to build a plan just for you.
