Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner Chelsea Michaels: Botox, Peptides, Anti-Aging & What Actually Works

Chelsea Michaels, trained family nurse practitioner and aesthetic medicine specialist, joins Hidden Florida & Beyond for a candid conversation about beauty, aging, wellness, and the science behind some of today's most talked-about treatments. With a background spanning pediatrics, plastic surgery, and aesthetic medicine, Chelsea shares her journey from studying business and considering law school to building a career in one of the fastest-growing areas of healthcare. Along the way, she explains how aesthetic medicine has evolved from simply chasing a certain look to focusing on overall wellness, longevity, and helping people feel more confident in their own skin. The conversation dives into everything from Botox, fillers, and collagen loss to strength training, nutrition, skincare, and why what’s happening inside the body eventually shows on the outside. Chelsea breaks down common misconceptions about anti-aging treatments, why social media filters have created unrealistic expectations, and how she approaches creating natural-looking results that enhance rather than change a person's appearance.  She also tackles some of the biggest trends dominating the wellness world right now, including peptides, GLP-1 medications, red light therapy, celebrity skincare brands, and the growing influence of TikTok health advice. Chelsea explains what’s worth paying attention to, what’s mostly hype, and why consumers need to be careful when buying treatments and supplements from unverified sources online.  Hidden Florida & Beyond…where the real stories live beneath the surface.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
