Well, hello, hello, guys.

You're listening to Beauty Bites with Dr. K., Secrets of a Plastic Surgeon.

And today on the podcast, I am so excited to introduce you guys to a CEO,

Maria Carell, CEO of Revision Skin Care. Welcome to the podcast. Thank you so much. Very excited

being here. Well, everybody wants to know a little bit about you. So tell us something, your

personal background. what put you

where you are today? I may start with a funny accent because everybody listening would figure

that out where she's coming from. So I speak Swinglish, which is a combination of Swedish and English,

and born and raised in Sweden, but have lived abroad in multiple countries, France, Spain, US.

And now I've been in Dallas for the last six years.

Amazing. And you've worked in pharma and a few different companies.

Do you feel like you've found your home at revision now?

I really do.

And if I go back to my entire

career, I spent more than 20 years in pharmaceutical industry and a lot of dermatology, but more

on the medical derm side. But I've always been fascinated by the skin. It's our biggest organ.

It's the armor, you know, we have to protect us from everything.

And I always felt that it's still a little bit underloved and underserved. So it's been a common theme,

but my first entrance to aesthetics was in 2010. And then I was a CEO of QMAD, which is Rest Elaine.

And at the time, there was a public company in Europe.

And then eventually we sold the company to Galderma.

So that's become the foundation of the aesthetic business at Galderma.
