Struggling with Adult Acne? Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi Thinks It Might Be Hormonal
Today we’re speaking with Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi, one of the most well-known OBGYNs in the country, to talk about everything I see overlap between her world and mine. We get into adult acne and how often it's undiagnosed PMOS (the updated term for PCOS), the labs she runs that most doctors skip, and why insulin resistance is often the root cause. We also cover her honest take on GLP-1s and birth control–and she lets us know when it's time to talk to your doctor about perimenopause and HRT. We close on something close to her heart: her own breast cancer diagnosis and why knowing your lifetime risk matters more than family history alone.

Vanessa Lee on What Korea Gets Right and Wrong About Aesthetics
Today I'm joined by Vanessa Lee of The Things We Do–this conversation is one I've wanted to have since we first DMed each other back in 2019! Vanessa coined the term "facial balancing" in 2017 and today we get into what that actually means and how to vet a med spa or injector. We also dig into "perception drift," what AI beauty plans are missing, and how to think about augmentation versus honoring your own heritage and features. Then we go all in on Korean aesthetics: what's actually worth flying to Seoul for, what to skip (salmon sperm PDRN, we're looking at you), and the wellness pharmacy trend taking over. We close out talking regenerative aesthetics, her BioGlow protocol combining Sculptra and PRFM, and why the slow biostimulator crawl is quietly the future of this industry. Want more from Vanessa?

Today Botched star and board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Terry Dubrow joins me for a conversation every skincare and facelift patient needs to hear. We break down the exact dermatologic roadmap to prep your skin before a facelift, why Dr. Dubrow tells patients to delay surgery as long as possible, and the biggest red flags to look for when choosing a plastic surgeon.

Your Questions Answered: Filler Migration, Lasers, and The Truth About Sofwave
We're halfway through season two, so it's time for a Q&A! I brought in some Dear Media employees to ask their most pressing derm questions, plus answered what you sent me on Instagram. We cover a lot: whether Sofwave is actually worth the money, how I approach dissolving and refilling old or migrated filler, my go-to protocol for baby Botox and why less is more, how to prep your skin in your late 20s and early 30s, and whether Sculptra or radiofrequency will mess with a future facelift. I also break down what vibration plates are and if they’re worth it, where to start if you've never tried a laser, and some of my favorite affordable exfoliators and red light devices. We’re taking the next two weeks off! We’ll be back on August 19th. // MORE FROM DR. SHEILA FARHANG // Follow on Instagram @dr.sheila_derm, @avantdermatology, @dermapproved.

The Truth About Peptides, NAD Injections, and GLP-1s with Dr. Taz Bhatia
Peptides, NAD injections, GLP-1s—everyone's talking about them, but what actually works? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Taz Bhatia—a triple board-certified physician, integrative medicine expert, and one of the leading voices in longevity—to break down the real connection between gut health, hormones, and skin. Dr. Taz shares her own health journey, from being dismissed by specialists for over a year to discovering integrative medicine. She then walks through the four root causes she sees behind most skin issues: gut health, inflammation, hormones, and cortisol. After that, she reveals what's actually worth trying in the world of peptides, and I break down what "Ozempic face" is. We wrap up by discussing the supplements she thinks are overrated vs. underrated. Learn more about Dr. Taz Bhatia and book an appointment at holplus.co and doctortaz.com.
