Go behind the scenes with the OG crew of Elevate Medical Spa. In this episode of Needles & Nonsense, the providers take it all the way back to the early days of Elevate—when the practice was small, construction was everywhere, and the team was building more than just a medspa.They talk about the friendships and shared history that shaped Elevate’s culture, why staying close as a team matters in an industry known for burnout, and what they’ve learned along the way about aesthetics, patients, and the business.From what they’d tell their younger selves about sun protection to how they’d spend $1,000 on aesthetic treatments, the conversation gets honest about what’s actually worth your money—and what isn’t. Lindsay also opens up about her personal rosacea journey, sharing her experience with the condition and what she’s learned about caring for her skin.The team weighs in on preventative Botox, skin-tightening treatments, staying in your lane as a provider, and some of the higher-risk trends making their way around the aesthetics industry.And, of course, no episode would be complete without a little Love It or Leave It—where the OG crew gives their unfiltered takes on glass skin, buttock sculpting injections, AI-influenced beauty trends, and more.
