Orange County Beauty Secrets with Dr. Zenovia Gabriel | Fillers, Acne & Aging Gracefully (Part 2)

Описание: Welcome back to the AMYPLUSPodcast. In this Part 2 episode, Amy sits down again with Orange County dermatologist Dr. Zenovia Gabriel to get very real about modern beauty culture from oversized lips and overdone faces in Newport Beach to acne, Accutane, hair loss, lasers, and TikTok skincare trends.

They talk about why so many women in Orange County feel pressure to “keep up,” how social media and filters are affecting teen girls, the truth about fillers and migration, low-dose Accutane, adult acne, yeast acne, collagen stimulation, laser hair removal, female hair loss, peptides, and what’s actually worth your money versus snake oil.

If you’ve ever wondered:

Are fillers bad for your face or just badly done?

Is low-dose Accutane really as scary as people say?

Why is adult acne and “yeast acne” suddenly everywhere?

What actually helps with women’s hair loss?

Do TikTok trends like slugging, salmon sperm, and beef tallow do anything?
…this episode is going to be your new skincare bible.
