Aging, Perception and the Desire to Feel Like Yourself with Dr. Lynne Haven

SilverDisobedience® Perception Dynamics™ host Dian Griesel interviews renowned dermatologist Dr. Lynne Haven about how aesthetic treatments relate to identity, confidence, aging, and also the desire to look like yourself rather than chase perfection. Dr. Haven explains that most patients seek to feel more vital and aligned. She emphasizes listening, personalization, restraint, and choosing practitioners with not only the best knowledge and expertise, but also essentials such as skill, artistry, and integrity. Together, they discuss social media filters and unrealistic expectations; motivations, such as life events; menopause and related collagen loss; and increased concerns with GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, such as loss of facial volume and hair shedding. Dr. Haven shared ways to mitigate these side effects with nutrition, slowing weight loss, and devices that tighten skin and build muscle. The conversation covers differences in aging by sex; the mind-body impact of Botox; noninvasive dermatology vs. surgery; risks of unqualified injectors; sun protection; evidence-based skincare, including vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and retinoids; acne treatments; skin-cancer warning signs; lasers for sun damage; and considerations for different skin tones.
