Summary

This week, we’re sharing a primer on the latest uses in neuromodulators like Botox (and its new K-Beauty competitor!), injectable fillers like Restalyne and Juvederm, micro infusions like Aquagold and more with Ject founder and CEO Gabby Garritano. The Board Certified Physician Assistant shares the best before-and-after procedure care to achieve the best results, how to know when it’s time for your next treatment and the red flags that could signal that it’s time to find a new provider. Thanks to Ject for being the VIP partner of this week’s episode!

Gabby’s insights on the brand new neuromodulator out of South Korea, Letybo, said to be 30% cheaper than brands like Botox, promising results that last even longer

What if the secret to glass skin wasn’t at the bottom of a skincare jar, but within hundreds of microinjections from gold plated needles? What we now know about Aquagold
Which at-home and professional procedures the board-certified physician assistant would never do herself
