In this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Giovanna McCarthy, founder of PDO Max, to uncover the history, science, and artistry behind one of modern aesthetics' most transformative tools — PDO threads. With over forty years of experience in medical aesthetics, Giovanna shares how her early exposure to European skincare and her mother's story of burn recovery shaped a lifelong mission to heal, restore, and innovate.What began with some of the first U.S. day spas in the 1990s evolved into a pioneering medical aesthetics brand leading the way in regenerative skin lifting. At PDO Max, Giovanna introduced dissolvable polydioxanone threads, designed to stimulate collagen and elastin production for natural structure and rejuvenation — not to replace surgery, but to support it. “Threads aren't about pulling,” she says. “They're about rebuilding.”Giovanna also dives into the cellular science behind this subtle transformation — how PDO threads ignite healing responses that restore turgor, elasticity, and dermal vitality. Her philosophy is one of balance: rebuild, don't overcorrect. “Too much trauma, too fast, can strip the skin of life,” she warns.Expanding into regenerative skincare, PDO Max now offers post-procedure formulas powered by PDRN, a DNA compound long used in burn medicine to accelerate repair and recovery.Tune in to hear how Giovanna McCarthy is bridging medicine, artistry, and innovation — redefining modern aesthetics through education, collaboration, and true cellular regeneration.Learn more about PDO Max on their website and social media!CHAPTERS:0:02 – Introduction & Guest Welcome0:44 – Giovanna's Early Inspiration & European Roots1:45 – The Birth of Medical Aesthetics in the U.S.3:47 – Evolution of Skin & Surgery Synergy7:15 – The Role of Estheticians in Surgical Outcomes7:20 – Understanding PDO Threads & Industry Misconceptions10:11 – The Art and Precision of Thread Technique14:27 – Structural Science: Ligaments, Fat Pads & Lift Mechanics17:23 – Cellular Regeneration & Collagen Stimulation18:58 – Advancing Skin Quality: PDO Glow, LúmEnvy & PDRN InnovationPlease fill out this survey to give us feedback on the show!Don'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!

Even though we're heading into fall, sunscreen is still a product we recommend daily — for every skin type, for every client. But if it's not performing the way it should, that's a major red flag for us as professionals. Recently, the FDA issued warnings to brands accused of “sunscreen doping” and to those producing sunscreen in foam formats. In this episode of ASCP Esty Talk, Maggie and Ella break down the reasoning behind the FDA's actions and why it matters.

Are we treating skin—or just selling solutions? This episode of ASCP Esty Talk challenges the symptom-based, brand-driven approach dominating esthetics today by introducing a deeper, more intentional framework: functional aesthetics, clinical reasoning, and “wholistic” client care. We explore how a pimple isn't always simple, and how real results require curiosity, conversation, and care that extends beyond the treatment room. With reflections on physiology, emotions, and even the surprising skin benefits of a certain “little pink pill,” this episode encourages estheticians to think bigger, dig deeper, and treat more meaningfully.

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.

This week, I'm joined by cosmetic chemist, author, and science communicator Perry Romanowski, a voice of reason in the ever-evolving world of beauty product claims. Co-host of The Beauty Brains podcast and author of several books on cosmetic formulation, Perry shares what every esthetician and beauty professional needs to understand about ingredients, formulation myths, and product marketing. Also joining us is Valerie George, cosmetic chemist, product formulator, and co-host of The Beauty Brains podcast. Valerie brings sharp scientific insight and refreshingly honest takes on the beauty industry—from formulation facts to fear-based marketing.

Beth brings over 20 years of experience in esthetics, business coaching, and industry education—and she's here to remind you that you don't have to figure it all out alone.
