In this episode of The Wellthy Healthy Life, Nicole Johnson sits down with board-certified dermatologist Dr. Alexandra Bowles for an honest, easy-to-understand conversation about skincare, Botox, and today’s most popular non-invasive aesthetic treatments. They break down what actually works, what’s worth the investment, and how to approach beauty and aging without pressure to look “done.”
Dr. Bowles shares her dermatologist-approved skincare foundations, explains the truth about preventative Botox, and walks through newer treatments designed to support collagen, improve skin texture, and create natural-looking results—especially for women navigating midlife changes.
This episode is perfect if you’re curious about injectables, overwhelmed by options, or simply want expert guidance without the hype.
In this episode we cover:
The four essential skincare pillars: growth factors, antioxidants, retinoids, and sunscreen
Preventative Botox, natural results, and how Botox needs change as we age
Jawline, neck, and lower-face Botox for subtle lift and definition
PRP, microneedling, and alternatives to under-eye filler
Non-invasive tightening, laser treatments, and realistic expectations for aging skin
