Summary

In this episode of unPAUSED, Dr. Mary Claire Haver continues her conversation with Dr. Tony Youn, board certified plastic surgeon, bestselling author of Younger for Life, and the most followed plastic surgeon on social media. In part two of this conversation, Dr. Youn moves from skincare into devices, lifestyle, and the bigger picture of how women can think about aging and anti-aging without getting swept up in the extremes. Dr. Youn walks through the most commonly asked about in-office treatments, explaining what each one actually does and where the limitations are. He covers IPL for hyperpigmentation and sun damage, fractional CO2 lasers and how they differ from older more aggressive approaches, chemical peels and how depth determines results, and radiofrequency microneedling including what it can realistically achieve and where it falls short. He also addresses at-home devices, covering red light therapy and what the studies actually show about collagen and elastin, and what to look for in a dermal stamper.

0:06.1	no, it's time, you know, chasing a result. When does she know? When is it time? Okay, so one thing
0:11.5	that we cannot treat non-surgically is really just excess loose skin. Okay, skin is a little bit loose.
0:20.2	A little bit loose.

0:24.3	Yes, lasers can help and stuff like that.
0:26.1	But when there's truly a lot of excess skin, unfortunately, there's nothing you can do about it

1:43.2	CO2 lasers to microneedling and red light therapy,
