653. Part 2: The Brutally Honest Beauty Episode - Facelifts, Neogen Laser Update and Fillers

August 4, 2026·31m

In this follow-up to my brutally honest beauty conversation, I'm sharing what happened after living with the Neogen plasma treatment for several more weeks and how my perspective has evolved now that I've had time to see the results. I’m sharing what actually changed in my skin, why I believe certain treatments deliver more meaningful improvements than others, and how I'm thinking about collagen stimulation, skin quality, and long-term aging differently than I did before. I also answer some of the questions that came in after Part 1 by talking openly about my facelift, under-eye procedures, fillers, fat transfer, and what I wish more people understood before making cosmetic decisions. What you’ll learn: Why my opinion of the Neogen plasma treatment changed after several more weeks of healing How collagen-building treatments compare to procedures that remove the skin's surface The role hydration and mitochondrial health may play in healthy-looking skin Why I believe choosing the right provider matters more than choosing the latest procedure My honest experience with facelifts, recovery, and managing expectations When fillers can enhance natural features—and when they can work against them Why fat transfer has become part of my long-term approach to facial aging The questions I think everyone should ask before committing to cosmetic treatments If you're considering aesthetic treatments or simply want a thoughtful conversation about aging, skincare, and cosmetic procedures, I hope you'll join me for this episode.
