He joins host Amy Sherman for a warm, honest conversation about what works.He shares the exact wellness and beauty hacks he uses himself, including what sits next to his toothbrush every morning. He explains why microneedling only works if you layer the right ingredients underneath it, what exosomes do, and why some popular under-eye treatments deliver far less than the marketing suggests.For anyone curious about surgery down the line, he explains the real difference between a mini facelift and a true deep plane facelift, why some surgeons perform the procedure on patients in their thirties, and why chasing natural facelift results too early may not deliver the outcome you expect.
