What happens when you ask a skincare expert to recommend treatments without giving them time to think? You get raw, unfiltered expertise that cuts through the marketing noise and reveals what really works.
In this energetic episode of Couture Conversations, we shake things up with Clara, a practice admin from Couture Med Spa, putting her on the spot with a rapid-fire session of skincare concerns and immediate treatment recommendations. From rough texture to stubborn melasma, enlarged pores to body contouring, Clara delivers her gut-reaction solutions before we dive deeper into the science and strategy behind each choice.
The conversation takes a particularly fascinating turn when discussing melasma, as both hosts share their personal struggles with this persistent condition. "Melasma always has to be controlled. It very rarely, if ever, completely goes away," they explain, offering hope through consistent management rather than false promises of permanent cures. Their candid discussion about treatments like Even and Correct, hydroquinone, and heat-free procedures provides a realistic roadmap for anyone battling this complex condition.
We also explore the transformative world of peptides for weight loss, sharing touching stories of clients who've lost over 100 pounds through comprehensive protocols. "We don't just bring clients in and give them some shots and say 'here you go, hopefully lose some weight.' We really give them the tools to be successful," Clara emphasizes, highlighting the importance of accountability and support in any wellness journey.
Whether you're curious about which lasers actually work for sun damage, how hydrofacials transform enlarged pores, or why Sculptra has become the gold standard for natural-looking volume replacement, this episode delivers honest answers from professionals who've seen it all. The unscripted format reveals not just what treatments work, but how combining different modalities creates truly transformative results.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
Sun damage, sun damage, ipl.
You're not fast enough on thisone, for real, I know I was like
wait.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
What kind of sun damage do I bring?
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Definitely, IPL, ipl.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
That's my final answer.
All right, you survived themall.
Okay, wow.
That's my final answer.
All right, you survived themall.
Okay, wow.
That is so much harder than Iwould ever imagine rapid-fire
questioning to be Wow.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
There's so many options out there, too, your
brain just goes to like rush,roll the dice, here's all this
information.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Just pick one.
Just pick one.
How do I spit the one out?
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Beautiful, I like it.
I was trying to think ofanother like more, but there
were so many things.
And some of my answers already.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
I'm like no, was that really the best answer?
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Now we're going to deep dive into this.
Okay, perfect, all right.
So rough skin texture.
You chose, fractional, I did.
Would that still be your choice?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Can I have multiple answers?
You chose fractional.
I did, but that's your choice.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Yeah, so you would still choose fractional.
Why would?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
you choose fractional .
I would choose fractionalbecause it's meant for
resurfacing, so texture, poresize, stimulating collagen
production.
But then I would also say,maybe tread, maybe skin pen,
microneedling, um, yeah, I wouldstick with those three.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
I think those are great yeah, yeah, okay, I would
choose the same.
So I would say microneedling.
I love my favorite to recommendthe clients, especially people
who are struggling with like rot, like acne scarring or the
pitted scarring, the rollingscarring, anything like that.
I love to alternate fractionalsand microneedling.
So you do a fractional, do apleater, you can do
(04:53):
microneedling.
They're kind of building on topof each other.
Those are great.
Love doing those Tread amazingLaser in a bottle, exactly yes,
Yep, just keep going.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
So I love those answers.
I think those are perfect and Ilove the treatments too, so
they're great.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Yeah, um all right Melasma.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
You chose even incorrect.
I did and I wanted to sayhydroquinone and even incorrect,
just flew out of my mouth.
So I would choose evenincorrect for year long, year
long.
You don't have to stop the useof it for the summertime.
You can use it in thesummertime.
You can also use it if you arepregnant or breastfeeding.
(05:34):
So I would choose evenincorrect.
It stops the melanocytes frombeing produced and then it also
helps to reverse the pigment.
So it's like a more gentle,hydroquinone-free pigment
inhibitor and then HQ for severecases.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Yeah, and those are good too.
Those are good because you canpair those together too.
So if you have someone who hasreally stubborn melasmaasma, you
can get them on hydroquinoneand you can also add, even and
correct that they can use twicea day with it to really kind of
bring both of those so and skinpen I will be getting on evening
or on hydroquinone very soon,because we were just talking
(06:17):
about my melasma um so yeah,taking melasma is such a it's
stubborn, melasma's hard andeducating clients on the
consistent.
so I'll tell you, because youand I just before we started we
were talking about my melasmacoming back on my forehead and I
(06:39):
get clients all the time whoare like your skin's perfect.
You've never had to do any ofthis, you have perfect skin.
I don't have perfect skin, noone has perfect skin but I've
struggled with melasma for along time.
It took me about five years ofconsistent skincare products, of
consistent.
Um, I did some fractionalmelasma before we had skin pen
(07:03):
um to try and lighten thatpigmentation.
But melasma always has to becontrolled.
Melasma very rarely, if ever,completely goes away.
Um, it is very hormonal basedfor a lot of people not for
everyone, but very hormonalbased for a lot of people and so
you constantly have to be usingsomething that is inhibiting
(07:27):
that melanocyte production soyour skin doesn't freak out and
start putting, you know,building more um melanin in that
area.
So it was just telling her, youknow, telling Claire, before we
, you know, started filming this.
Um, my melasma has been clearon my forehead for years now.
I've done a really good job.
Um, I went to the beach forthree days and I did everything
(07:51):
you're supposed to do.
I wore my sunscreen, I wore myhat, I stayed in the shade, um,
we were only out there for a fewhours each day, um, but my
melasma just flared right backup on my forehead and so, um, it
happens and it's normal and I Iwon't claim to know that that
it's something, that it is ajourney and it's something that
you're constantly going to haveto work with.
(08:12):
But, um, yeah, I love evenincorrect and hydroprimed
together for that reallystubborn pigmentation and then
being able to use even incorrectas a as a maintenance.
As you know, like Claire wassaying, you can use it morning
and night, you can use ityear-round.
You don't have to stop it, youdon't have to take breaks from
it.
It really is one of my go-toproducts.
We live in Florida.
(08:33):
How many people walk in andhave melasma or sunspots or
pigmentation that they're tryingto get rid of?
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Even Incorrect is an amazing product, a go-to to use
consistently to constantlycontrol those melanocytes we
also get a lot of clients thatcome in during their initial
consultation they'll do viziaand they have never heard of
melasma before and it's like,well, this is what it looks like
, you know, then you can educatethem.
(09:02):
We do have treatments that canhelp it.
Um, but yeah, people come inwith melasma all the time and
there are remedies for it.
Yeah, granted, may not go awaycompletely, but if you're
consistent with your skin care,incorporate some of those
treatments the fractionalmelasma, hydroquinquinone, even
(09:23):
incorrect.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Yeah, microneedling is one of my go-tos as well for
melasma, because it doesn't useany heat or anything.
So our fractional melasma, samething.
It bypasses that layer to whereyou're not getting that heat,
but it's safe for all skin types.
It can be done year-round.
So, again, pairing fractionalmelasma with micro-needling, we
(09:46):
can target, yeah, the skinresurfacing, but also target
that pigmentation.
And then I love to pair it withobviously they've got to wait,
you know their post-care, theircertain dates before they can
start using it.
But pre-treating andpost-treating with a pigment
inhibitor as well, such asunicorrector, hydropronone, um,
to really kind of give themthose that booster results,
(10:07):
really is a good, a good optionfor melasma.
You saw my brain go.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
I was like skin pen I need.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
I didn't say skin pen okay, we got a lot of options.
There's a lot to remember, Iknow.
All right, so next one forhyper ankles you chose botox I
did, and I Dysport girl and Ijust said Botox, but they're the
same thing neurotoxins.
Whichever toxin is yourfavorite go for it.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Yep, go for it.
Exactly, I am a Dysport girl.
I've done both Botox andDysport.
I like the way that Dysportworks with me.
I feel like my results are justa little bit different than
with Botox, but they're stilldoing the same thing.
But forehead wrinkles for sure.
Try some neurotoxin.
There are different levels offorehead wrinkles that I would
(10:59):
maybe then be like this inconjunction with skin pen
microneedling, rotate it in withsome fractionals really kind of
work from the ground up.
But if you're looking forsomething near immediate and you
want to try test the waterswith neurotoxins, definitely
(11:19):
just order Botox.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Yeah, I think you made a really good point about
we get a lot of clients who comein and they will get Botox or
disc for it and it's great.
They get, you know, goodresults of their muscles
relaxing, but they're like Istill have these lines.
Neurotoxins don't get rid ofresting lines.
They can help soften them alittle bit, for sure, and they
(11:41):
can help prevent you fromgetting more.
But if you have those restinglines, they can help prevent you
from getting more.
Um, but if you have thoseresting lines, you're going to
need to do more.
You're going to need to do somefractionals.
You're going to need to do somemicroneedling um using trit,
which you've talked about, withlike texture and resurfacing um,
trit is able to stimulate thatcollagen production which is
going to help to smooth those.
So, again, it really issomething that's not a one
(12:02):
treatment thing.
Now, if you're young and you'vegot you know this little 11s
that are starting but there'snothing set there Botox or
Dysport, take it away and makeit look smooth, you're good to
go.
But really pairing it with skincare, pairing it with
microneedling or the lasers, iswhat's really going to give you
that full circle of reallytreating everything together.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Exactly.
You can treat the wrinkles andyou can also help prevent the
wrinkles.
So it depends on what your maingoal and how deep.
How deep are we talking, realdeep?
Do the treatments and do someBotox.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
It's an investment you gotta work on both Exactly,
you gotta work on both, Allright.
So next one enlarged pores.
Enlarged pores.
What did I say?
Speaker 2 (12:52):
You said fractional.
I said fractional, okay,enlarged pores.
What I changed my obviously dofractionals.
It's going to help, you know,minimize the appearance of
enlarged pores.
Skincare, for sure, poretherapy, I would absolutely say
um, skin pen.
I would also say again, tread,um, what else would I say for
(13:24):
enlarged pores?
Um, I'm just going to stickwith those.
Simple, simple enough.
Um, I feel like I've repeated acouple of things, but the
treatments do work.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Um, I think that Hmm, hmm, what's circling in there?
Speaker 2 (13:39):
I would say IPL too, depending on like porphyrins and
what's going on on the surfaceof the skin.
If you've got, you know, a lotof porphyrin production, if you
don't have a good skincareroutine, if you have a lot of
bacteria on the surface of theskin, it can lodge into the
(14:01):
pores and create enlarged pores.
So the IPL helps kill bacteriaon the surface of the skin.
So I would also throw that inthere.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
So my little esthetician mind goes to
hydrafacials, hydrafacials goesto, and this is where it is.
It really does Like we were'retalking about, take a
combination of things because,um, hydrofacial can help to.
Again, if you have enlargedpores because of, you know,
(14:31):
bacteria in there or sebumbuildup or anything like that,
yes, facials in general, buthydrofacial is going to really
go in there, give you that deepclean that's able to like
suction all of that oil, all ofthat buildup out.
That's enlarging those pores.
And if we're doing thatconsistently and keeping those
clean with your hydro facials,with your pore therapy or good
skincare at home, we can then goin with these other treatments,
(14:53):
like fractional, likemicroneedling, um to then reduce
the appearance of those poresbecause you're building that
collagen back up around it.
So, um, anyone who's reallystruggling with enlarged pores
now you might have some clientswho, um have more enlarged pores
because, you know, as we getolder, this skin just kind of
starts to um lose its volume andso, as we lose its volume, that
(15:16):
elasticity, it then makes ourpores look larger.
So, you know, not saying thatit's not a one, you know one
thing fits all for every clientand that's why there are so many
different options, like yousaid.
You know, for me, if someone hasdrier skin and more mature skin
, it's not something that Ithink is a typical answer for
(15:38):
enlarged pores.
But sometimes I think fillercan help, because if we're
talking about, you know, thatloss of volume, if we give them
a little cheek filler, we kindof lift that back up a little
bit, we kind of give a littlebit more structure and support,
you're not going to have as muchof that, you know, loss of
elasticity.
So there are there's so manyoptions and there's so many
(15:58):
different things.
But for me personally, becauseit's what I do, microneemling is
my go-to for it.
But getting them on a goodregimen of some hydrofacials if
they need it to clean out thosepores, microneemling and
fractionals and kind of gettingon that good regimen, yes, along
with their skincare, theirtoilet foam.
So it does take more than onething to address these concerns.
(16:23):
But yeah, I love the, the hydrofacial for just cleaning out
those sores, my answer is justput hydro facial.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
That's what I meant to say.
It is, you heard me wrong and Ido I love hydro facial.
I love how good and healthy myskin feels afterwards.
I have you know, my skin is dry.
It is dry, but sometimes youknow, doing a hydrofacial,
getting that exfoliation and theextraction and then infusing it
(16:55):
with the serum, it just it'slike a major reset for the skin
and I do always enjoy howbeautiful my pores look and I do
always enjoy how beautiful mypores look.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Yeah, I know she's good.
I know she's good, all right,next one.
So weight loss, slash overallwellness.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
You said peptides.
I did, and I'm going to stickwith that answer.
I'm not going to changeanything about it.
I think that the peptides aresuch a major addition to society
for overall wellness and forweight loss One.
(17:35):
You're starting a regimen witheither semaglutide or
terzapatide, but it's also goingto help hold you accountable to
staying consistent with routineoutside of those peptides.
So whenever you are going tothe gym, we have an exercise
protocol, a diet protocol, wehave a protocol in place for
(17:57):
everything, but they're reallyprotocols meant to be tools to
help you advance your overallwellbeing, how you feel and if
you are having a really hardtime losing weight, the peptides
have been amazing, um, so I I'msticking with peptides for that
(18:18):
one I'm with you on it.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
I love my peptides.
They were amazing.
They are amazing.
If you were.
You have to put that work intoand that's where I do think,
like you said, with us having aprotocol line for all of these
different things.
We don't just bring clients inand give them some shots and say
, here you go, hopefully losesome weight.
Like we really give them thetools to be successful with it.
(18:46):
And you know, know, there's somany you can.
Peptides are huge now.
Glp ones are all over the placenow, which is great.
I love that, um, coming from aperson who has personally used
them and had success with it.
I love that they're out thereand I love that there's
accessible ways for people toget it.
One, not only because we'reoffers it at a price that is
(19:08):
extremely affordable, but we'realso not just getting a client's
information, sending you a vialand being like let us know when
you're done and you need arefill.
Um, you know we, we care aboutthem.
We come in, we take your weight, we see how your muscle mass is
doing.
We see what you're asking, howyou're eating.
If you're having plateaus, howcan we help you get through that
(19:29):
?
Um, yeah, our website is aplethora of information.
Um, when it comes to overallwellness, when it comes to you
know what you should be eating,you know, certainly gives you
some exercise.
Um, you know ideas if you'rehaving trouble thinking of what
to do, that I do think thatopening up this world of
(19:51):
peptides to everyone is amazing.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
I love it.
I do too.
I um someone in my family uhstarted doing peptides, I think
in South Florida, and they keptasking me like what do you think
about this?
Can you look at this?
And I'm like I can't even tellyou how many units or what this
is supposed to be, becauseeveryone does it differently.
(20:17):
But I was like what's your goalweight?
Like what did they recommendfor you?
Did they say you're going to beon this dose?
Did they say how long you'regonna be on it?
Did they talk about increasingyou eventually or give you like
a strategy to use this tool?
(20:37):
And I essentially ended up doinga consultation over the phone
with my cousin because she wasreally confused.
She was like I don't understandwhy I don't feel good, this
isn't working for me.
I just feel worse.
And like I literally told herthis is why I love everything
that we do with peptides,because it's almost like a buddy
(20:58):
system.
You have that buddy system.
You go in once a week.
We find out what is your goal.
We're going to track it everyweek for you and that kind of
helps.
You have accountability.
We're okay, am I gonna put thework in outside of this?
And then you know, are theygonna be impressed by you?
Know how good I did outside?
(21:19):
So I think that the way contourjust our protocol for the
weight loss peptides isabsolutely amazing in client
reactions to you know, feelinggreat about themselves.
That is.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Yeah, I'll never forget our first client that we
had Um.
He was actually one of thefirst ones who started with us
when we started offering it andhe actually had a prescription
from his doctor for the namebrand Um and his um from his
doctor for the name brand Um andhis um he could get it through
his insurance, but it was stillcheaper for him to come see us
(22:00):
for it.
Um, and I remember watching hisjourney and seeing him walk
through that door, um, about ayear later.
I mean, each time he walked inI'm like, oh my gosh, I can tell
like you look great, um, and hefelt great.
But when we we saw him hit thatmilestone of um losing a
hundred pounds and, um, he stillhad a little bit more to go,
but he was so happy and just soyou could tell how much it
changed his life and it wasreally awesome to see because it
(22:25):
, you know, there's there's somany, there's so many clients
that come in and out of our doorand we share every single one
of them on whatever their goalsare and whatever it may be.
Um, but yeah, to see, to seehis journey and to see how much
it impacted his life was amazingto see.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
It impacts us on a personal level.
It it's like we've been therewith you through this journey.
We want to cheer you on.
I will be your cheerleader.
Whatever you need me to do,I'll help you, hold yourself
accountable, and then I'll behere for you whenever you have
questions.
Um, if you just need thatpositive little sprinkle of
(23:07):
motivation throughout the day,whatever it is, and I've had
clients hug me once they reachtheir goal weight and I'm just
like I'm so happy for you, thisis so amazing.
But, it really is it.
You know, once again, not onlyis it helping the outside, it's
really helping the inside, andthat only magnifies how, how you
present yourself on the outside.
(23:28):
So I think that ties it's beena great addition.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Yeah, it's been good.
Yeah, all right, next one acnebreakouts.
What did I say for this one?
Uh, you said poor therapy poortherapy.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Okay, acne breakouts solid choice for therapy, poor
therapy.
But I would also say IPL.
Immediately my brain wants tosay scratch poor therapy, go.
Ipl, because it goes intomaking sure that the porphyrins
are minimized.
Bacteria is going to cause acneand then sometimes with acne
(24:03):
you do get a lot of redness.
So IPL for sure.
I would switch my answer to IPLyeah, IPL is a great answer.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
I love IPL for active breakouts.
Um, I'll never forget when I itwas when I very first started
at Couture I had a client shewas struggling with like severe
cystic acne, um, and it was newto her, so it was something like
hormonal that I'd buffed out,that she had just started and,
um, I was doing some chemicalpills on her which she was
(24:34):
having some you know successwith.
But, um, we got her on a on anIPL regimen as well, and
dramatic difference Like she'sone of our before and afters, um
, which is amazing, and to me itwas really cool.
Coming into a med spa, you know, in a session school you learn
about, you know this skincareproduct or do these chemical
(24:56):
peels or do this, which aregreat.
You need those things too butto learn that there was a laser
that could help was really coolto me and I loved having that
tool to be able to offer ourclients that we, you know, could
offer IPL.
Um, so I would definitely IPLis one of my go-to as well.
Um, and again, just being on asolid skincare routine, there's
(25:20):
so many things out there thatare for acne, yes, Um, but you
know, not knocking Sephora orUlta or anything like.
There's great products that youcan find, but so many times
you'll go into a store and it'slike, oh I'm, I have acne, and
so it's like here, buy this acneline.
(25:40):
Or they see every product thatjust says acne on it and you buy
all of them.
Um, but what you don't realizeis that all of these products
are drying the skin, strippingthe skin barrier.
Um, you know, we we have tohave a healthy barrier function
to be able to repair our skinand to to fight what's going on.
(26:01):
So, um, you know, being able tohave the guidance of um, our
providers, our estheticians, ourkind care coordinators, are
amazing for skincare products aswell.
But being able to really target, you know, one or two specific
skincare products to target andtreat that acne, but also a nice
(26:22):
gentle cleanser, a goodreparative moisturizer,
sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreenis a must.
You know, we don't want to juststrip that barrier and dry it
out and irritate the skin, andthen you still have the
breakouts, but now you also havedry skin and irritation.
Um, skincare, a good skincareroutine, plays a huge role, um,
(26:44):
in that as well.
So, don't take poor therapy outof it.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Yeah, and I'd get to it yeah and I would definitely
add on to that.
You know, having the medicalgrade skin care along with any
medical grade aesthetictreatment, those two together
are going to be a perfect recipeto help amplify results.
Um, but a gentle cleanser, forsure.
(27:08):
You don't want to strip theskin barrier.
It's not fun, it doesn't feelgood.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Yeah I've always said cleansers are cleansers are
just there to cleanse your skin.
Yes, there there's certain typeof like skin that you need,
either like a gentle cleanser orfoaming cleanser or something
that is going to be more fortheir skin type.
But cleansers don't need to belike an acne cleanser or even an
anti-aging cleanser.
It's not staying on the skinlong enough to like, penetrate
(27:34):
and give you anti-aging benefits.
Um, if you're using one forlike now, like there are certain
ones that are like benzoylperoxide and stuff, can be good
for more inflammatory ones.
But in general, having justlike a good gentle, reparative
cleanser and then use yourserums and use your other stuff
as your targeted treatment arereally going to be super
(27:56):
important.
And then again, using a lot ofpeople think, especially if
they're like oily they havestride with like oily break.
They think they don't needmoisturizer.
But we can get you alightweight moisturizer.
I mean that's not going to bethick or heavy or have those
butters and oils in it, but youstill have to lock in that
moisture to the skin or yourskin is going to think, oh no, I
(28:17):
need to hydrate myself.
I need to produce more oil totry and get you there.
So, having that solidfoundation of a good skin care
routine on top of doing some IPum, you know, facials once a
month to give that deepexfoliation, um, if we do need
to do any extractions, we canhelp extract.
Um, so those are always goingto be, um, some really good
(28:37):
things as well.
For for acne workouts,absolutely.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
And I always um oh hyacinth list oh hello.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Oh my gosh, our love, scratch it off Hydrin.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
I know Hydrin and the hyacinth methods, hypogloric
acid, that stuff.
I mean I have had some reallycrazy breakouts.
I've had some really crazybreakouts, but since I have
incorporated that mist into mylife, my skin has changed so so
much.
(29:09):
And then also making sure thatmy hands are clean anytime I
touch my face.
I feel like that has also keptbreakouts at bay makeup brushes,
makeup applicators, making suremy hands are clean I know
forgive us hydronity that it'sour go-to like we go through
that stuff like it's water inevery client.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Hydronity.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Everyone needs Hydronity Like come on.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
But going back to like cleaning your makeup
brushes and stuff HydronityHyacinth Mist is amazing for
that too.
Yes, deep clean those brushes,but in between each use because
I know you're not cleaning themevery single time you use them I
get it Like spray it, spray itbefore you use it, spray it
after you use it If you don'tknow what Hydro-90-Hyacin-Mist
is.
It is hypochlorous acid mist.
It kills 99.9% of all foreignbacteria on the skin.
(29:57):
It is as strong as bleach.
It adds disinfecting, but it'sgentle as water on the skin, so
you can use it on spray in youreyes, your nose, your mouth.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Spray it in the mouth if you have a sore throat.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
I have clients that swear by it, clients who get
acne like um on their back, orlike women who get it like um in
between, like their chest areaafter, like workouts and stuff
like that, from like thesweating, your you know tight
clothes.
Spray it on there.
It helps it go away.
It is chef's kiss, perfect,amazing.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
I stubborn fat, stubborn fat, and I said weight
loss yeah um, okay, so I'm goingto maybe switch the answer.
Vanquish Red Light Cryo.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Emsculpt.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
All of it.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
All of it.
Body contouring is for stubbornfat.
Exactly, it is for those littlepockets of stubborn fat that
just won't go away.
Yeah, we love them all.
Yes, what's your favorite bodycontouring treatment?
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Emsculpt Shouldn't have said that so fast, emsculpt
.
Yes, shouldn't have said thatso fast, emsculpt, 100%.
But I think that Red Light andPrio are really kind of up there
too.
They're sneaking.
They are definitely sneaking upthere.
Emsculpt is just.
I forget who told me this.
(31:36):
It might have been Chantel fromback in the day, but whenever
she would do her tours she wouldgo so fast like rapid fire tour
um, and I would always listento what she said, but sometimes
I would lose it and I rememberher kind of drilling into me you
can go to the gym, you canexercise five days a week, but
(32:00):
on your own you're really onlyactivating your muscles to 70%.
M-sculpt helps with corestrength too, and it can
activate your muscles up to ahundred percent, and I was like
yeah, yeah, I don't know aboutthat.
And then actually started doingI'm sculpting.
I was like, wait, I believe her.
I really do believe her.
(32:21):
Um, you know the abdomen area,the lower abdomen, has always
been a struggle area for me, youknow hormonal endometriosis.
PCOS.
It's just my, my one spot.
But I'm sculpt really does.
Um, it helps tighten tone and Ifeel stronger whenever I'm
sculpt really does.
It helps tighten tone and Ifeel stronger whenever I'm, you
(32:41):
know, bed and I'm like going tosit up.
Sometimes I'm just like thatthat's really easy and then I'm
but, yeah, I'm sculpt red light.
You know one of the newesttreatments at Couture.
I probably talked to a clientfor about 20 minutes while she
(33:02):
was using red light and I waslike, get on the website If you
don't believe me.
This is absolutely amazing.
The different wavelengths that,the near and far you know,
infrared micro channels.
Just listen to me and then geton the website because it's
fascinating how it works.
So yeah, and then cryoapoptosis yeah, let's kill those
(33:26):
stubborn fat cells.
Now this science behind butlight is insane to me so we
learned about it in a physicianschool.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
You know we learned so we use it for like anti-aging
or public peace.
But it is.
It's one of those like when youlearn about it at first you're
like I don't believe, I don'ttruly believe it.
Right, and all this putting alight, it's gonna do something.
But when you do a deeper diveinto red light and it was
(33:55):
discovered by NASA and you knowgrowing food I always tell my
clients the easiest way for meto explain like red light and
how it kind of works is think oflike a greenhouse.
So you have plants.
They normally rely on sunshine.
They don't get the sunshine,they're inside.
They put lights on them andthose lights trigger cell
(34:17):
reactions and then thosecellular reactions allow those
plants to grow and to thrive.
Red light it's not the exactsame as that but it's a good way
to kind of visualize what it'sdoing.
Those you know infrared andnear infrared lights that she
was talking about.
They have different wavelengthsand those send energy down into
our cells and allow them toregenerate and it helps with um
(34:39):
wound healing, it helps withpain management.
Um, it gets to certain umenergies Cause I'm not going to
say heat cause, it doesn't likeheat up, but it gets to certain
energies that it actually startsto kind of create little holes
in those fat cells, um, thatallow those fat cells to then
kind of leak and excrete.
Um, so it's going to help withthose little, you know, the
(35:02):
circumference of your thighs,the circumference of the abdomen
area.
It's going to help to reducethat, Um, which is great, it's
really cool.
Um, cryo, yeah, helps with it,does the same sort of thing, um,
but using cold to help killthose fat cells.
But it's great too because itreduces inflammation.
So how you were talking about,like that lower abdomen area,
sometimes it's not necessarilylike fat in that area, it's
(35:26):
inflammation, and so thatcoolness from that cryo is going
to help to reduce thatinflammation, help to kind of
like smooth that out a littlebit and then, yeah, our Vanquish
, that helps with radiofrequency.
And of like, smooth that out alittle bit and then, um, yeah,
our vanquish, that helps withradio frequency.
Um, and then msculpt everyoneloves msculpt.
It's amazing.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
I just started trying to do it.
Yes, you did I have it.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
So I was I don't want to say I was skeptical, because
I I know msculpt works.
I've seen, I've seen clientshave results from it.
Um, I was skeptical if it wasgoing to work for me because
I've lost a good amount ofweight and I still have a good
amount of weight in my stomacharea, in my abdomen area, and I
knew that was going to happen,being bigger, being a woman who
(36:08):
attended the whole weight in theabdomen area, and I was like
Clara how can I just get rid ofthis?
like I don't want to get rid ofit, I just want to like flatten
it, just make it look a littlebit more even.
She's like like girl, do it onend sculpt, end sculpt, get on
end sculpt.
So yeah, so I started doing endsculpt and I've done probably
six or seven treatments now andfor the first time the other day
I looked in the mirror and Iwas like, oh my gosh, I mean
(36:31):
it's still there, but it'sfarther's water.
So they work.
Bodycon horn works.
It's amazing.
All right, we got off on atangent, so next one um,
hollowing of the face.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
Hollowing of the face .
I said sculpture 100.
So, okay, gonna give you alittle bit of backstory.
Um, I tried sculpture for thefirst time in January of this
year and, um, there was gosh.
When I was in Winter Park, usedto see Mary do sculpture all the
(37:04):
time.
I actually think it was thefirst injectable treatment that
I was kind of thrown intowhenever I started as a client
care it was for sculpture andI'm just standing there with
Mary and I'm like I don't knowwhat to do and she's just do
this.
Just just, you know, help mehold the skin taut.
And I just remember watching itand I was like whatever this
(37:27):
woman is doing is fascinating.
And then, over time, quicklylearned Mary's favorite
treatment was Sculptra and thepassion behind hearing her talk
about it was like talk to memore about this, why is it so
fascinating?
And I learned that it wascreated for oncology and AIDS
(37:56):
patients to replace lost volumeand liquid sutures whole back
story about how it was created.
But just seeing how much sheloved it and how passionate she
was about telling people aboutit and then actually seeing
someone start a treatment and doa series of treatments and
(38:19):
looking at before and afterpictures and I was like this is
amazing, this actually works.
This gives you really beautifulnatural results.
It is just it's stunning.
Sculptra is amazing.
So for Halloween, 100% Sculptra.
I would also say for certainareas, dermal filler and we're
(38:40):
on a gastric dermal filler butsculptras become one of my
favorite injectable treatments.
Stimulate that collagenproduction.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
I've never done it but I I recommend it to so many
clients.
It's great and it's great forpeople who want that very
natural enhancement.
It's great.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
Sculptra's amazing and one vital stimulates
collagen for up to six monthsafter post-treatment.
So it's like I want tostimulate my collagen all the
time.
So do sculpture, alright.
Cellulite, cellulite and I saidbody contouring again, yeah,
for cellulite, body contouring,definitely Vanquish, red Light,
(39:34):
cryo Emsculpt.
You can't go wrong with thosetreatments.
Vanquish is really going to bemore for killing those stubborn
fat cells, creating apoptosisthrough radiofrequency in the
body's natural hydration.
Flush those fat cells out.
Red Light, cryo Emsculpt, Iwould say Titan Tone helps
(39:57):
smooth the area.
So body contouring, 100% dullcomplexion.
I said vitamin C okay, I likethat answer I am gonna stick
with that um vitamin C, having agood skincare routine.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
Facials I'm actually skincare routine facials.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
I'm actually going to throw in facials because most
of the time I do talk to peopleabout our esthetician services
but I'm so used to just laser orskin pen microneedling but dull
complexion, hydrafacialchemical peels signature couture
(40:39):
facial.
What else am I forgetting?
Dermaplaninganing, dermaplaning, a good dermaplane can really
just yeah that radiance,immediate yeah dermaplaning
would probably be my like go-to.
Speaker 1 (40:49):
All the facials with like fire mice that's great
because it resurfaces withenzymes.
Hydrophilic is great because ithydrates on your surfaces.
But we use our vitamin C in thedermal plane facial, so give a
good dome landing with.
Do it top off with our vitaminC.
They do a good, nice, likehydrating mess.
So good, yeah, and the vitaminC.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
I have gotten both of my arms.
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (41:12):
Oh, it's gonna always ask out for it.
My other one I would throw inthere would just be skin your
product.
I'll hop on the concert.
Oh it's gonna matter, guy,because it gives a little bit of
physical exfoliation.
Always ask for it.
My other one I would throw inthere would just be Skincare
product the Ahabaha cleanser,skinmatic Out, because it gives
a little bit of physicalexfoliation, so something you
can do at home to constantlykind of be shedding those dead
skin cells.
Speaker 2 (41:29):
Alright, two more Nasal labial folds, nasal labial
folds are said dermal filler,because dermal filler, you know,
sometimes the shadowing isreally caused by loss of volume
there so if you replace the lostvolume, it's gonna help the
area project a little bit more.
Speaker 1 (41:48):
You won't notice the shadowing as much and you're
replacing volume, so it's reallydifficult yeah, there's some of
those things that skin care isnot going to help, that,
especially if they're deep.
If they're very fine, we canstart some microneedling and
start in some skincare.
But if there really is a lot ofthat loss of volume and they're
(42:09):
really kind of getting a littlebit deeper there, some filler
Whether it's pulling the cheeksback or wherever it might be
that the provider thinks is bestthere's some things that you
just need a little bit moreintervention for.
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (42:23):
And I'm so happy you said that, because when we think
about nasolabial fold I don'tknow why my brain just did that,
but immediately I'm like oh,dermal filler, start in the
cheeks because you want to helplift, and by lifting that's
going to help smooth that area.
And then absolutely skin penmicroneedling because it's
really going to help stimulatecollagen and elastin which you
(42:46):
need for skin, you know, to justlook plump and youthful and
yeah, but then filler for lastline for sure, all right, sun
damage Sun damage.
Speaker 1 (42:57):
So, like freckles.
Speaker 2 (42:58):
Hold on.
You said IPL.
I said IPL, which is yes, yeah,To go to IPL, 100%.
So IPL because it's going todraw unwanted hyperpigmentation
out to the surface of the skinand eventually fall out of the
skin.
Why is my skin going to go?
(43:23):
Or my brain?
Speaker 1 (43:23):
going blank the photo facial laser.
Speaker 2 (43:25):
If you think about overall skin clarity.
Yeah, sun damage, I mean sundamage, ipl, for sure, ipl is a
go-to.
I mean skin pen too.
Speaker 1 (43:38):
I'm going to say skin pen.
Speaker 2 (43:40):
Facial services as well, and then certain Even
incorrect.
Yeah, ipl, ipl's your yeah.
Speaker 1 (43:53):
Alright.
Speaker 2 (43:54):
You survived.
That was terrifying.
I'm like second guessing, I'mlike is that a good answer?
Is that your final?
Is that your final answer?
Speaker 1 (44:03):
That's what I wanted to say.
You did so good, thank you, andit is.
It's a good way to learn.
We do.
We offer so many differentservices.
There's so many differentoptions for you know, someone's
coming in.
Maybe they're not ready tostart doing lasers yet hey,
let's start you on some facials.
(44:24):
Or maybe they're not ready todo filler yet, let's start you
on some lasers.
So there's there's differentoptions for everyone, um, and
you know, we really can kind ofcustomize that routine for them
depending on what they'rewanting to work on, what their
budget is, um, what they'rewanting or not wanting as far as
, like, downtime goes.
So there are so many differentoptions and things that work.
Combining modalities andservices is really going to be
your best bet for that fasttrack of what you're really
(44:46):
looking for.
But yeah, there's so manydifferent options.
It's fun.
It's a fun world to live in.
So many things.
Speaker 2 (44:54):
All of the things just started going really well.
What's the level of sun damage?

All right, you survived themall.
Okay, wow.
That's my final answer.
All right, you survived themall.
Okay, wow.
That is so much harder than Iwould ever imagine rapid-fire
questioning to be Wow.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
There's so many options out there, too, your
brain just goes to like rush,roll the dice, here's all this
information.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Just pick one.
Just pick one.
How do I spit the one out?
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Beautiful, I like it.
I was trying to think ofanother like more, but there
were so many things.
And some of my answers already.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
I'm like no, was that really the best answer?
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Now we're going to deep dive into this.
Okay, perfect, all right.
So rough skin texture.
You chose, fractional, I did.
Would that still be your choice?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Can I have multiple answers?
You chose fractional.
I did, but that's your choice.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Yeah, so you would still choose fractional.
Why would?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
you choose fractional .
I would choose fractionalbecause it's meant for
resurfacing, so texture, poresize, stimulating collagen
production.
But then I would also say,maybe tread, maybe skin pen,
microneedling, um, yeah, I wouldstick with those three.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
I think those are great yeah, yeah, okay, I would
choose the same.
So I would say microneedling.
I love my favorite to recommendthe clients, especially people
who are struggling with like rot, like acne scarring or the
pitted scarring, the rollingscarring, anything like that.
I love to alternate fractionalsand microneedling.
So you do a fractional, do apleater, you can do
(04:53):
microneedling.
They're kind of building on topof each other.
Those are great.
Love doing those Tread amazingLaser in a bottle, exactly yes,
Yep, just keep going.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
So I love those answers.
I think those are perfect and Ilove the treatments too, so
they're great.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Yeah, um all right Melasma.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
You chose even incorrect.
I did and I wanted to sayhydroquinone and even incorrect,
just flew out of my mouth.
So I would choose evenincorrect for year long, year
long.
You don't have to stop the useof it for the summertime.
You can use it in thesummertime.
You can also use it if you arepregnant or breastfeeding.
(05:34):
So I would choose evenincorrect.
It stops the melanocytes frombeing produced and then it also
helps to reverse the pigment.
So it's like a more gentle,hydroquinone-free pigment
inhibitor and then HQ for severecases.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Yeah, and those are good too.
Those are good because you canpair those together too.
So if you have someone who hasreally stubborn melasmaasma, you
can get them on hydroquinoneand you can also add, even and
correct that they can use twicea day with it to really kind of
bring both of those so and skinpen I will be getting on evening
or on hydroquinone very soon,because we were just talking
(06:17):
about my melasma um so yeah,taking melasma is such a it's
stubborn, melasma's hard andeducating clients on the
consistent.
so I'll tell you, because youand I just before we started we
were talking about my melasmacoming back on my forehead and I
(06:39):
get clients all the time whoare like your skin's perfect.
You've never had to do any ofthis, you have perfect skin.
I don't have perfect skin, noone has perfect skin but I've
struggled with melasma for along time.
It took me about five years ofconsistent skincare products, of
consistent.
Um, I did some fractionalmelasma before we had skin pen
(07:03):
um to try and lighten thatpigmentation.
But melasma always has to becontrolled.
Melasma very rarely, if ever,completely goes away.
Um, it is very hormonal basedfor a lot of people not for
everyone, but very hormonalbased for a lot of people and so
you constantly have to be usingsomething that is inhibiting
(07:27):
that melanocyte production soyour skin doesn't freak out and
start putting, you know,building more um melanin in that
area.
So it was just telling her, youknow, telling Claire, before we
, you know, started filming this.
Um, my melasma has been clearon my forehead for years now.
I've done a really good job.
Um, I went to the beach forthree days and I did everything
(07:51):
you're supposed to do.
I wore my sunscreen, I wore myhat, I stayed in the shade, um,
we were only out there for a fewhours each day, um, but my
melasma just flared right backup on my forehead and so, um, it
happens and it's normal and I Iwon't claim to know that that
it's something, that it is ajourney and it's something that
you're constantly going to haveto work with.
(08:12):
But, um, yeah, I love evenincorrect and hydroprimed
together for that reallystubborn pigmentation and then
being able to use even incorrectas a as a maintenance.
As you know, like Claire wassaying, you can use it morning
and night, you can use ityear-round.
You don't have to stop it, youdon't have to take breaks from
it.
It really is one of my go-toproducts.
We live in Florida.
(08:33):
How many people walk in andhave melasma or sunspots or
pigmentation that they're tryingto get rid of?
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Even Incorrect is an amazing product, a go-to to use
consistently to constantlycontrol those melanocytes we
also get a lot of clients thatcome in during their initial
consultation they'll do viziaand they have never heard of
melasma before and it's like,well, this is what it looks like
, you know, then you can educatethem.
(09:02):
We do have treatments that canhelp it.
Um, but yeah, people come inwith melasma all the time and
there are remedies for it.
Yeah, granted, may not go awaycompletely, but if you're
consistent with your skin care,incorporate some of those
treatments the fractionalmelasma, hydroquinquinone, even
(09:23):
incorrect.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Yeah, microneedling is one of my go-tos as well for
melasma, because it doesn't useany heat or anything.
So our fractional melasma, samething.
It bypasses that layer to whereyou're not getting that heat,
but it's safe for all skin types.
It can be done year-round.
So, again, pairing fractionalmelasma with micro-needling, we
(09:46):
can target, yeah, the skinresurfacing, but also target
that pigmentation.
And then I love to pair it withobviously they've got to wait,
you know their post-care, theircertain dates before they can
start using it.
But pre-treating andpost-treating with a pigment
inhibitor as well, such asunicorrector, hydropronone, um,
to really kind of give themthose that booster results,
(10:07):
really is a good, a good optionfor melasma.
You saw my brain go.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
I was like skin pen I need.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
I didn't say skin pen okay, we got a lot of options.
There's a lot to remember, Iknow.
All right, so next one forhyper ankles you chose botox I
did, and I Dysport girl and Ijust said Botox, but they're the
same thing neurotoxins.
Whichever toxin is yourfavorite go for it.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Yep, go for it.
Exactly, I am a Dysport girl.
I've done both Botox andDysport.
I like the way that Dysportworks with me.
I feel like my results are justa little bit different than
with Botox, but they're stilldoing the same thing.
But forehead wrinkles for sure.
Try some neurotoxin.
There are different levels offorehead wrinkles that I would
(10:59):
maybe then be like this inconjunction with skin pen
microneedling, rotate it in withsome fractionals really kind of
work from the ground up.
But if you're looking forsomething near immediate and you
want to try test the waterswith neurotoxins, definitely
(11:19):
just order Botox.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Yeah, I think you made a really good point about
we get a lot of clients who comein and they will get Botox or
disc for it and it's great.
They get, you know, goodresults of their muscles
relaxing, but they're like Istill have these lines.
Neurotoxins don't get rid ofresting lines.
They can help soften them alittle bit, for sure, and they
(11:41):
can help prevent you fromgetting more.
But if you have those restinglines, they can help prevent you
from getting more.
Um, but if you have thoseresting lines, you're going to
need to do more.
You're going to need to do somefractionals.
You're going to need to do somemicroneedling um using trit,
which you've talked about, withlike texture and resurfacing um,
trit is able to stimulate thatcollagen production which is
going to help to smooth those.
So, again, it really issomething that's not a one
(12:02):
treatment thing.
Now, if you're young and you'vegot you know this little 11s
that are starting but there'snothing set there Botox or
Dysport, take it away and makeit look smooth, you're good to
go.
But really pairing it with skincare, pairing it with
microneedling or the lasers, iswhat's really going to give you
that full circle of reallytreating everything together.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Exactly.
You can treat the wrinkles andyou can also help prevent the
wrinkles.
So it depends on what your maingoal and how deep.
How deep are we talking, realdeep?
Do the treatments and do someBotox.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
It's an investment you gotta work on both Exactly,
you gotta work on both, Allright.
So next one enlarged pores.
Enlarged pores.
What did I say?
Speaker 2 (12:52):
You said fractional.
I said fractional, okay,enlarged pores.
What I changed my obviously dofractionals.
It's going to help, you know,minimize the appearance of
enlarged pores.
Skincare, for sure, poretherapy, I would absolutely say
um, skin pen.
I would also say again, tread,um, what else would I say for
(13:24):
enlarged pores?
Um, I'm just going to stickwith those.
Simple, simple enough.
Um, I feel like I've repeated acouple of things, but the
treatments do work.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Um, I think that Hmm, hmm, what's circling in there?
Speaker 2 (13:39):
I would say IPL too, depending on like porphyrins and
what's going on on the surfaceof the skin.
If you've got, you know, a lotof porphyrin production, if you
don't have a good skincareroutine, if you have a lot of
bacteria on the surface of theskin, it can lodge into the
(14:01):
pores and create enlarged pores.
So the IPL helps kill bacteriaon the surface of the skin.
So I would also throw that inthere.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
So my little esthetician mind goes to
hydrafacials, hydrafacials goesto, and this is where it is.
It really does Like we were'retalking about, take a
combination of things because,um, hydrofacial can help to.
Again, if you have enlargedpores because of, you know,
(14:31):
bacteria in there or sebumbuildup or anything like that,
yes, facials in general, buthydrofacial is going to really
go in there, give you that deepclean that's able to like
suction all of that oil, all ofthat buildup out.
That's enlarging those pores.
And if we're doing thatconsistently and keeping those
clean with your hydro facials,with your pore therapy or good
skincare at home, we can then goin with these other treatments,
(14:53):
like fractional, likemicroneedling, um to then reduce
the appearance of those poresbecause you're building that
collagen back up around it.
So, um, anyone who's reallystruggling with enlarged pores
now you might have some clientswho, um have more enlarged pores
because, you know, as we getolder, this skin just kind of
starts to um lose its volume andso, as we lose its volume, that
(15:16):
elasticity, it then makes ourpores look larger.
So, you know, not saying thatit's not a one, you know one
thing fits all for every clientand that's why there are so many
different options, like yousaid.
You know, for me, if someone hasdrier skin and more mature skin
, it's not something that Ithink is a typical answer for
(15:38):
enlarged pores.
But sometimes I think fillercan help, because if we're
talking about, you know, thatloss of volume, if we give them
a little cheek filler, we kindof lift that back up a little
bit, we kind of give a littlebit more structure and support,
you're not going to have as muchof that, you know, loss of
elasticity.
So there are there's so manyoptions and there's so many
(15:58):
different things.
But for me personally, becauseit's what I do, microneemling is
my go-to for it.
But getting them on a goodregimen of some hydrofacials if
they need it to clean out thosepores, microneemling and
fractionals and kind of gettingon that good regimen, yes, along
with their skincare, theirtoilet foam.
So it does take more than onething to address these concerns.
(16:23):
But yeah, I love the, the hydrofacial for just cleaning out
those sores, my answer is justput hydro facial.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
That's what I meant to say.
It is, you heard me wrong and Ido I love hydro facial.
I love how good and healthy myskin feels afterwards.
I have you know, my skin is dry.
It is dry, but sometimes youknow, doing a hydrofacial,
getting that exfoliation and theextraction and then infusing it
(16:55):
with the serum, it just it'slike a major reset for the skin
and I do always enjoy howbeautiful my pores look and I do
always enjoy how beautiful mypores look.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Yeah, I know she's good.
I know she's good, all right,next one.
So weight loss, slash overallwellness.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
You said peptides.
I did, and I'm going to stickwith that answer.
I'm not going to changeanything about it.
I think that the peptides aresuch a major addition to society
for overall wellness and forweight loss One.
(17:35):
You're starting a regimen witheither semaglutide or
terzapatide, but it's also goingto help hold you accountable to
staying consistent with routineoutside of those peptides.
So whenever you are going tothe gym, we have an exercise
protocol, a diet protocol, wehave a protocol in place for
(17:57):
everything, but they're reallyprotocols meant to be tools to
help you advance your overallwellbeing, how you feel and if
you are having a really hardtime losing weight, the peptides
have been amazing, um, so I I'msticking with peptides for that
(18:18):
one I'm with you on it.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
I love my peptides.
They were amazing.
They are amazing.
If you were.
You have to put that work intoand that's where I do think,
like you said, with us having aprotocol line for all of these
different things.
We don't just bring clients inand give them some shots and say
, here you go, hopefully losesome weight.
Like we really give them thetools to be successful with it.
(18:46):
And you know, know, there's somany you can.
Peptides are huge now.
Glp ones are all over the placenow, which is great.
I love that, um, coming from aperson who has personally used
them and had success with it.
I love that they're out thereand I love that there's
accessible ways for people toget it.
One, not only because we'reoffers it at a price that is
(19:08):
extremely affordable, but we'realso not just getting a client's
information, sending you a vialand being like let us know when
you're done and you need arefill.
Um, you know we, we care aboutthem.
We come in, we take your weight, we see how your muscle mass is
doing.
We see what you're asking, howyou're eating.
If you're having plateaus, howcan we help you get through that
(19:29):
?
Um, yeah, our website is aplethora of information.
Um, when it comes to overallwellness, when it comes to you
know what you should be eating,you know, certainly gives you
some exercise.
Um, you know ideas if you'rehaving trouble thinking of what
to do, that I do think thatopening up this world of
(19:51):
peptides to everyone is amazing.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
I love it.
I do too.
I um someone in my family uhstarted doing peptides, I think
in South Florida, and they keptasking me like what do you think
about this?
Can you look at this?
And I'm like I can't even tellyou how many units or what this
is supposed to be, becauseeveryone does it differently.
(20:17):
But I was like what's your goalweight?
Like what did they recommendfor you?
Did they say you're going to beon this dose?
Did they say how long you'regonna be on it?
Did they talk about increasingyou eventually or give you like
a strategy to use this tool?
(20:37):
And I essentially ended up doinga consultation over the phone
with my cousin because she wasreally confused.
She was like I don't understandwhy I don't feel good, this
isn't working for me.
I just feel worse.
And like I literally told herthis is why I love everything
that we do with peptides,because it's almost like a buddy
(20:58):
system.
You have that buddy system.
You go in once a week.
We find out what is your goal.
We're going to track it everyweek for you and that kind of
helps.
You have accountability.
We're okay, am I gonna put thework in outside of this?
And then you know, are theygonna be impressed by you?
Know how good I did outside?
(21:19):
So I think that the way contourjust our protocol for the
weight loss peptides isabsolutely amazing in client
reactions to you know, feelinggreat about themselves.
That is.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Yeah, I'll never forget our first client that we
had Um.
He was actually one of thefirst ones who started with us
when we started offering it andhe actually had a prescription
from his doctor for the namebrand Um and his um from his
doctor for the name brand Um andhis um he could get it through
his insurance, but it was stillcheaper for him to come see us
(22:00):
for it.
Um, and I remember watching hisjourney and seeing him walk
through that door, um, about ayear later.
I mean, each time he walked inI'm like, oh my gosh, I can tell
like you look great, um, and hefelt great.
But when we we saw him hit thatmilestone of um losing a
hundred pounds and, um, he stillhad a little bit more to go,
but he was so happy and just soyou could tell how much it
changed his life and it wasreally awesome to see because it
(22:25):
, you know, there's there's somany, there's so many clients
that come in and out of our doorand we share every single one
of them on whatever their goalsare and whatever it may be.
Um, but yeah, to see, to seehis journey and to see how much
it impacted his life was amazingto see.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
It impacts us on a personal level.
It it's like we've been therewith you through this journey.
We want to cheer you on.
I will be your cheerleader.
Whatever you need me to do,I'll help you, hold yourself
accountable, and then I'll behere for you whenever you have
questions.
Um, if you just need thatpositive little sprinkle of
(23:07):
motivation throughout the day,whatever it is, and I've had
clients hug me once they reachtheir goal weight and I'm just
like I'm so happy for you, thisis so amazing.
But, it really is it.
You know, once again, not onlyis it helping the outside, it's
really helping the inside, andthat only magnifies how, how you
present yourself on the outside.
(23:28):
So I think that ties it's beena great addition.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Yeah, it's been good.
Yeah, all right, next one acnebreakouts.
What did I say for this one?
Uh, you said poor therapy poortherapy.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Okay, acne breakouts solid choice for therapy, poor
therapy.
But I would also say IPL.
Immediately my brain wants tosay scratch poor therapy, go.
Ipl, because it goes intomaking sure that the porphyrins
are minimized.
Bacteria is going to cause acneand then sometimes with acne
(24:03):
you do get a lot of redness.
So IPL for sure.
I would switch my answer to IPLyeah, IPL is a great answer.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
I love IPL for active breakouts.
Um, I'll never forget when I itwas when I very first started
at Couture I had a client shewas struggling with like severe
cystic acne, um, and it was newto her, so it was something like
hormonal that I'd buffed out,that she had just started and,
um, I was doing some chemicalpills on her which she was
(24:34):
having some you know successwith.
But, um, we got her on a on anIPL regimen as well, and
dramatic difference Like she'sone of our before and afters, um
, which is amazing, and to me itwas really cool.
Coming into a med spa, you know, in a session school you learn
about, you know this skincareproduct or do these chemical
(24:56):
peels or do this, which aregreat.
You need those things too butto learn that there was a laser
that could help was really coolto me and I loved having that
tool to be able to offer ourclients that we, you know, could
offer IPL.
Um, so I would definitely IPLis one of my go-to as well.
Um, and again, just being on asolid skincare routine, there's
(25:20):
so many things out there thatare for acne, yes, Um, but you
know, not knocking Sephora orUlta or anything like.
There's great products that youcan find, but so many times
you'll go into a store and it'slike, oh I'm, I have acne, and
so it's like here, buy this acneline.
(25:40):
Or they see every product thatjust says acne on it and you buy
all of them.
Um, but what you don't realizeis that all of these products
are drying the skin, strippingthe skin barrier.
Um, you know, we we have tohave a healthy barrier function
to be able to repair our skinand to to fight what's going on.
(26:01):
So, um, you know, being able tohave the guidance of um, our
providers, our estheticians, ourkind care coordinators, are
amazing for skincare products aswell.
But being able to really target, you know, one or two specific
skincare products to target andtreat that acne, but also a nice
(26:22):
gentle cleanser, a goodreparative moisturizer,
sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreenis a must.
You know, we don't want to juststrip that barrier and dry it
out and irritate the skin, andthen you still have the
breakouts, but now you also havedry skin and irritation.
Um, skincare, a good skincareroutine, plays a huge role, um,
(26:44):
in that as well.
So, don't take poor therapy outof it.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Yeah, and I'd get to it yeah and I would definitely
add on to that.
You know, having the medicalgrade skin care along with any
medical grade aesthetictreatment, those two together
are going to be a perfect recipeto help amplify results.
Um, but a gentle cleanser, forsure.
(27:08):
You don't want to strip theskin barrier.
It's not fun, it doesn't feelgood.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Yeah I've always said cleansers are cleansers are
just there to cleanse your skin.
Yes, there there's certain typeof like skin that you need,
either like a gentle cleanser orfoaming cleanser or something
that is going to be more fortheir skin type.
But cleansers don't need to belike an acne cleanser or even an
anti-aging cleanser.
It's not staying on the skinlong enough to like, penetrate
(27:34):
and give you anti-aging benefits.
Um, if you're using one forlike now, like there are certain
ones that are like benzoylperoxide and stuff, can be good
for more inflammatory ones.
But in general, having justlike a good gentle, reparative
cleanser and then use yourserums and use your other stuff
as your targeted treatment arereally going to be super
(27:56):
important.
And then again, using a lot ofpeople think, especially if
they're like oily they havestride with like oily break.
They think they don't needmoisturizer.
But we can get you alightweight moisturizer.
I mean that's not going to bethick or heavy or have those
butters and oils in it, but youstill have to lock in that
moisture to the skin or yourskin is going to think, oh no, I
(28:17):
need to hydrate myself.
I need to produce more oil totry and get you there.
So, having that solidfoundation of a good skin care
routine on top of doing some IPum, you know, facials once a
month to give that deepexfoliation, um, if we do need
to do any extractions, we canhelp extract.
Um, so those are always goingto be, um, some really good
(28:37):
things as well.
For for acne workouts,absolutely.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
And I always um oh hyacinth list oh hello.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Oh my gosh, our love, scratch it off Hydrin.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
I know Hydrin and the hyacinth methods, hypogloric
acid, that stuff.
I mean I have had some reallycrazy breakouts.
I've had some really crazybreakouts, but since I have
incorporated that mist into mylife, my skin has changed so so
much.
(29:09):
And then also making sure thatmy hands are clean anytime I
touch my face.
I feel like that has also keptbreakouts at bay makeup brushes,
makeup applicators, making suremy hands are clean I know
forgive us hydronity that it'sour go-to like we go through
that stuff like it's water inevery client.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Hydronity.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Everyone needs Hydronity Like come on.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
But going back to like cleaning your makeup
brushes and stuff HydronityHyacinth Mist is amazing for
that too.
Yes, deep clean those brushes,but in between each use because
I know you're not cleaning themevery single time you use them I
get it Like spray it, spray itbefore you use it, spray it
after you use it If you don'tknow what Hydro-90-Hyacin-Mist
is.
It is hypochlorous acid mist.
It kills 99.9% of all foreignbacteria on the skin.
(29:57):
It is as strong as bleach.
It adds disinfecting, but it'sgentle as water on the skin, so
you can use it on spray in youreyes, your nose, your mouth.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Spray it in the mouth if you have a sore throat.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
I have clients that swear by it, clients who get
acne like um on their back, orlike women who get it like um in
between, like their chest areaafter, like workouts and stuff
like that, from like thesweating, your you know tight
clothes.
Spray it on there.
It helps it go away.
It is chef's kiss, perfect,amazing.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
I stubborn fat, stubborn fat, and I said weight
loss yeah um, okay, so I'm goingto maybe switch the answer.
Vanquish Red Light Cryo.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Emsculpt.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
All of it.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
All of it.
Body contouring is for stubbornfat.
Exactly, it is for those littlepockets of stubborn fat that
just won't go away.
Yeah, we love them all.
Yes, what's your favorite bodycontouring treatment?
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Emsculpt Shouldn't have said that so fast, emsculpt
.
Yes, shouldn't have said thatso fast, emsculpt, 100%.
But I think that Red Light andPrio are really kind of up there
too.
They're sneaking.
They are definitely sneaking upthere.
Emsculpt is just.
I forget who told me this.
(31:36):
It might have been Chantel fromback in the day, but whenever
she would do her tours she wouldgo so fast like rapid fire tour
um, and I would always listento what she said, but sometimes
I would lose it and I rememberher kind of drilling into me you
can go to the gym, you canexercise five days a week, but
(32:00):
on your own you're really onlyactivating your muscles to 70%.
M-sculpt helps with corestrength too, and it can
activate your muscles up to ahundred percent, and I was like
yeah, yeah, I don't know aboutthat.
And then actually started doingI'm sculpting.
I was like, wait, I believe her.
I really do believe her.
(32:21):
Um, you know the abdomen area,the lower abdomen, has always
been a struggle area for me, youknow hormonal endometriosis.
PCOS.
It's just my, my one spot.
But I'm sculpt really does.
Um, it helps tighten tone and Ifeel stronger whenever I'm
sculpt really does.
It helps tighten tone and Ifeel stronger whenever I'm, you
(32:41):
know, bed and I'm like going tosit up.
Sometimes I'm just like thatthat's really easy and then I'm
but, yeah, I'm sculpt red light.
You know one of the newesttreatments at Couture.
I probably talked to a clientfor about 20 minutes while she
(33:02):
was using red light and I waslike, get on the website If you
don't believe me.
This is absolutely amazing.
The different wavelengths that,the near and far you know,
infrared micro channels.
Just listen to me and then geton the website because it's
fascinating how it works.
So yeah, and then cryoapoptosis yeah, let's kill those
(33:26):
stubborn fat cells.
Now this science behind butlight is insane to me so we
learned about it in a physicianschool.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
You know we learned so we use it for like anti-aging
or public peace.
But it is.
It's one of those like when youlearn about it at first you're
like I don't believe, I don'ttruly believe it.
Right, and all this putting alight, it's gonna do something.
But when you do a deeper diveinto red light and it was
(33:55):
discovered by NASA and you knowgrowing food I always tell my
clients the easiest way for meto explain like red light and
how it kind of works is think oflike a greenhouse.
So you have plants.
They normally rely on sunshine.
They don't get the sunshine,they're inside.
They put lights on them andthose lights trigger cell
(34:17):
reactions and then thosecellular reactions allow those
plants to grow and to thrive.
Red light it's not the exactsame as that but it's a good way
to kind of visualize what it'sdoing.
Those you know infrared andnear infrared lights that she
was talking about.
They have different wavelengthsand those send energy down into
our cells and allow them toregenerate and it helps with um
(34:39):
wound healing, it helps withpain management.
Um, it gets to certain umenergies Cause I'm not going to
say heat cause, it doesn't likeheat up, but it gets to certain
energies that it actually startsto kind of create little holes
in those fat cells, um, thatallow those fat cells to then
kind of leak and excrete.
Um, so it's going to help withthose little, you know, the
(35:02):
circumference of your thighs,the circumference of the abdomen
area.
It's going to help to reducethat, Um, which is great, it's
really cool.
Um, cryo, yeah, helps with it,does the same sort of thing, um,
but using cold to help killthose fat cells.
But it's great too because itreduces inflammation.
So how you were talking about,like that lower abdomen area,
sometimes it's not necessarilylike fat in that area, it's
(35:26):
inflammation, and so thatcoolness from that cryo is going
to help to reduce thatinflammation, help to kind of
like smooth that out a littlebit and then, yeah, our Vanquish
, that helps with radiofrequency.
And of like, smooth that out alittle bit and then, um, yeah,
our vanquish, that helps withradio frequency.
Um, and then msculpt everyoneloves msculpt.
It's amazing.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
I just started trying to do it.
Yes, you did I have it.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
So I was I don't want to say I was skeptical, because
I I know msculpt works.
I've seen, I've seen clientshave results from it.
Um, I was skeptical if it wasgoing to work for me because
I've lost a good amount ofweight and I still have a good
amount of weight in my stomacharea, in my abdomen area, and I
knew that was going to happen,being bigger, being a woman who
(36:08):
attended the whole weight in theabdomen area, and I was like
Clara how can I just get rid ofthis?
like I don't want to get rid ofit, I just want to like flatten
it, just make it look a littlebit more even.
She's like like girl, do it onend sculpt, end sculpt, get on
end sculpt.
So yeah, so I started doing endsculpt and I've done probably
six or seven treatments now andfor the first time the other day
I looked in the mirror and Iwas like, oh my gosh, I mean
(36:31):
it's still there, but it'sfarther's water.
So they work.
Bodycon horn works.
It's amazing.
All right, we got off on atangent, so next one um,
hollowing of the face.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
Hollowing of the face .
I said sculpture 100.
So, okay, gonna give you alittle bit of backstory.
Um, I tried sculpture for thefirst time in January of this
year and, um, there was gosh.
When I was in Winter Park, usedto see Mary do sculpture all the
(37:04):
time.
I actually think it was thefirst injectable treatment that
I was kind of thrown intowhenever I started as a client
care it was for sculpture andI'm just standing there with
Mary and I'm like I don't knowwhat to do and she's just do
this.
Just just, you know, help mehold the skin taut.
And I just remember watching itand I was like whatever this
(37:27):
woman is doing is fascinating.
And then, over time, quicklylearned Mary's favorite
treatment was Sculptra and thepassion behind hearing her talk
about it was like talk to memore about this, why is it so
fascinating?
And I learned that it wascreated for oncology and AIDS
(37:56):
patients to replace lost volumeand liquid sutures whole back
story about how it was created.
But just seeing how much sheloved it and how passionate she
was about telling people aboutit and then actually seeing
someone start a treatment and doa series of treatments and
(38:19):
looking at before and afterpictures and I was like this is
amazing, this actually works.
This gives you really beautifulnatural results.
It is just it's stunning.
Sculptra is amazing.
So for Halloween, 100% Sculptra.
I would also say for certainareas, dermal filler and we're
(38:40):
on a gastric dermal filler butsculptras become one of my
favorite injectable treatments.
Stimulate that collagenproduction.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
I've never done it but I I recommend it to so many
clients.
It's great and it's great forpeople who want that very
natural enhancement.
It's great.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
Sculptra's amazing and one vital stimulates
collagen for up to six monthsafter post-treatment.
So it's like I want tostimulate my collagen all the
time.
So do sculpture, alright.
Cellulite, cellulite and I saidbody contouring again, yeah,
for cellulite, body contouring,definitely Vanquish, red Light,
(39:34):
cryo Emsculpt.
You can't go wrong with thosetreatments.
Vanquish is really going to bemore for killing those stubborn
fat cells, creating apoptosisthrough radiofrequency in the
body's natural hydration.
Flush those fat cells out.
Red Light, cryo Emsculpt, Iwould say Titan Tone helps
(39:57):
smooth the area.
So body contouring, 100% dullcomplexion.
I said vitamin C okay, I likethat answer I am gonna stick
with that um vitamin C, having agood skincare routine.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
Facials I'm actually skincare routine facials.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
I'm actually going to throw in facials because most
of the time I do talk to peopleabout our esthetician services
but I'm so used to just laser orskin pen microneedling but dull
complexion, hydrafacialchemical peels signature couture
(40:39):
facial.
What else am I forgetting?
Dermaplaninganing, dermaplaning, a good dermaplane can really
just yeah that radiance,immediate yeah dermaplaning
would probably be my like go-to.
Speaker 1 (40:49):
All the facials with like fire mice that's great
because it resurfaces withenzymes.
Hydrophilic is great because ithydrates on your surfaces.
But we use our vitamin C in thedermal plane facial, so give a
good dome landing with.
Do it top off with our vitaminC.
They do a good, nice, likehydrating mess.
So good, yeah, and the vitaminC.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
I have gotten both of my arms.
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (41:12):
Oh, it's gonna always ask out for it.
My other one I would throw inthere would just be skin your
product.
I'll hop on the concert.
Oh it's gonna matter, guy,because it gives a little bit of
physical exfoliation.
Always ask for it.
My other one I would throw inthere would just be Skincare
product the Ahabaha cleanser,skinmatic Out, because it gives
a little bit of physicalexfoliation, so something you
can do at home to constantlykind of be shedding those dead
skin cells.
Speaker 2 (41:29):
Alright, two more Nasal labial folds, nasal labial
folds are said dermal filler,because dermal filler, you know,
sometimes the shadowing isreally caused by loss of volume
there so if you replace the lostvolume, it's gonna help the
area project a little bit more.
Speaker 1 (41:48):
You won't notice the shadowing as much and you're
replacing volume, so it's reallydifficult yeah, there's some of
those things that skin care isnot going to help, that,
especially if they're deep.
If they're very fine, we canstart some microneedling and
start in some skincare.
But if there really is a lot ofthat loss of volume and they're
(42:09):
really kind of getting a littlebit deeper there, some filler
Whether it's pulling the cheeksback or wherever it might be
that the provider thinks is bestthere's some things that you
just need a little bit moreintervention for.
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (42:23):
And I'm so happy you said that, because when we think
about nasolabial fold I don'tknow why my brain just did that,
but immediately I'm like oh,dermal filler, start in the
cheeks because you want to helplift, and by lifting that's
going to help smooth that area.
And then absolutely skin penmicroneedling because it's
really going to help stimulatecollagen and elastin which you
(42:46):
need for skin, you know, to justlook plump and youthful and
yeah, but then filler for lastline for sure, all right, sun
damage Sun damage.
Speaker 1 (42:57):
So, like freckles.
Speaker 2 (42:58):
Hold on.
You said IPL.
I said IPL, which is yes, yeah,To go to IPL, 100%.
So IPL because it's going todraw unwanted hyperpigmentation
out to the surface of the skinand eventually fall out of the
skin.
Why is my skin going to go?
(43:23):
Or my brain?
Speaker 1 (43:23):
going blank the photo facial laser.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
