Thinking About Botox, Fillers or an Intimate Procedure? What to Know First with Dr. Tali Arviv

In this episode, Dr. Tali Arviv, board-certified in internal medicine and practicing cosmetic dermatologist, breaks down the world of aesthetics through a grounded, honest lens. She and Spencer Moore talk about why women seek aesthetic procedures, how confidence shapes our choices, and how to navigate the overwhelming amount of information surrounding aging, injectables, and cosmetic surgery. Dr. Arviv explains what women should know before getting Botox or fillers, the rising demand for labiaplasty, and how media impacts how we see ourselves. She also sheds light on the role hormone therapy can play during menopause and why internal health matters just as much as what we do on the surface. This conversation is all about clarity, helping women make informed, empowered decisions about their bodies, their health, and their confidence. KEY TAKEAWAYS Women pursue aesthetic procedures for many reasons, often tied to confidence and self-image. Confidence can change how we move through the world—and how others respond to us. Expectation management is essential in any cosmetic treatment. Botox is now widely used as a preventative tool against wrinkles. Aesthetic procedures can offer both physical and emotional benefits. Labiaplasty is becoming more common as women seek comfort and confidence. Social media deeply influences body image and beauty standards. Thorough research and choosing a qualified provider are non-negotiable. Hormone therapy can support women through perimenopause and menopause. Prioritizing self-care strengthens both confidence and overall well-being.
