Skincare Secrets: Beyond Botox

Our guest, Nilu Rustomji, brings a unique perspective to the conversation of Botox, wrinkle relaxers and all things skincare, having studied psychology before entering the medical field. This background illuminates her holistic approach to facial aesthetics—treating not just the physical appearance but understanding the emotional journey of each patient. Through candid discussion, we unpack common misconceptions about injectables and reveal surprising medical applications most people don't know about. From treating migraines to helping with excessive sweating, these treatments have therapeutic benefits far beyond cosmetic enhancement.The episode takes a turn when we examine the ethics of aesthetic medicine. Nilu shares her process for screening patients, including watching for body dysmorphic disorder signs, and Carmen contrasts her nurturing approach,  with some practitioners who may make clients feel "broken" to sell more services. We also explore important considerations for special populations, such as those who are immunocompromised, and practical advice for listeners of all backgrounds—from simple skincare routines to understanding what questions to ask before getting treatments.Whether you're curious about trying cosmetic treatments or simply want to improve your skincare knowledge, this conversation offers valuable insights free from judgment.
