Ever wonder who's really overseeing your Botox, your laser treatment, or that facial you booked online? What if the answer is... nobody?
Dr. Kate Dee shares a firsthand account from a master esthetician who left a successful, well-known med spa after just a few months.
What "Sarah" witnessed behind the scenes reveals troubling practices that put patients at risk every day: procedures performed without proper medical oversight, broken equipment passed off as fully functional, and clients charged premium prices for treatments they never actually received.
Discover how some med spas operate when there's no real medical director on site. You'll hear about substituted products, half-working lasers, and why some facilities will do anything to get you in the door, including something that may even shock you.
Dr. Dee, a board-certified physician and founder of GLOW Med Spa, breaks down the specific red flags that could save you from wasting money or worse, risking serious injury.
You’ll learn exactly what questions to ask before booking your next appointment. Dr. Dee provides a practical guide for identifying whether a med spa is operating legally and safely, starting with one critical question about the medical director that most patients never think to ask.
This is a must-listen if you care about your skin, your health, or your wallet.
If you're considering any aesthetic treatment, from facials to laser procedures, this could be the difference between a great result and a dangerous mistake.
