Is microneedling the secret to youthful skin, or just another beauty trend? Join us as we dive deep into this cutting-edge skincare technique with our expert guest, Paige. We uncover how microneedling stimulates collagen and elastin production by creating micro wounds. Paige also shares crucial safety tips and why at-home microneedling might not be the best idea. We’ll navigate through the pain levels involved and the role of numbing creams, and even touch on the intriguing practice of incorporating PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) for enhanced results.
Ever wondered whether Botox or fillers are right for you? We break down the differences between these popular cosmetic procedures and what maintenance looks like for each. Discover how Botox freezes muscles to reduce movement and how fillers plump up the skin to create a youthful appearance. With personal experiences and ethical considerations in the mix, we provide a comprehensive look at the quest for noticeable results in skincare. Paige also offers insights into alternative treatments like microneedling and emphasizes the importance of choosing the right procedures for individual needs.
Finally, we uncover the therapeutic benefits of various facial treatments, from red light therapy to facial massages. Learn how these treatments improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and address discoloration. Paige discusses the dual benefits of devices with both red and blue lights for acne treatment and highlights how hydration and massages, such as buccal and scalp massages, can enhance overall skin health.

We speak about the impact menopause can have on our skin, the sudden onslaught of forgetfulness, and yes, those unexpected chin hairs. We also explore the external pressures like raising children, managing careers and households, which contribute to a prolonged parenting phase and can magnify the struggles of menopause.
But it’s not all doom and gloom. This episode also addresses the importance of support networks and professional medical advice in navigating these changes. We emphasize the need for open dialogue about the mental and physical toll of menopause, the challenges in finding appropriate care, and the financial strains. In shedding light on these experiences, we aim to foster understanding and encourage proactive steps towards better health during our midlife journey. So, join us as we navigate, laugh, and perhaps even shed a tear or two, about the rollercoaster ride that is menopause.
