Lasers, Lies & Lip Filler — What a Top Dermatologist Wants You to Know in the Self-Care Episode You Didn’t Know You Needed
What if your skincare routine is doing more harm than good? What if “just one laser” is the wrong one for your skin? What if the real secret to aging gracefully has nothing to do with products at all?
In this candid, laugh-out-loud conversation, Dr. Sonya Bhole sits down with world-traveling cosmetic dermatologist and mom-of-two Dr. Lana Kashlan — and nothing’s off-limits.
This isn’t influencer fluff or 10-step routines you’ll forget by next week. This is truth — about Botox, balance, and beauty pressure in the real world.
💡 You’ll Learn: – Why your friend’s skincare routine probably won’t work on you (and what to do instead) – The truth about laser treatments (and why the word “laser” is basically meaningless) – What 4 products you actually need — and what to toss – When to start Botox or filler (hint: it’s not about age) – Why you’re probably skipping the one checkup that could save your skin – The oral “sunscreen” supplement most people have never heard of – And yes… whether Aquaphor on your face is a sin or a skin savior
