Episode Description from the Publisher

If you've ever felt overwhelmed by all the advice around Botox, fillers, skincare treatments, and hair growth, you are not alone. I've had so many of these questions myself, which is why I'm so excited to sit down with my good friend and trusted dermatologist, Dr. Jo Lynne Herzog, for this conversation. We're cutting through the noise and talking honestly about what actually works (and what's not worth your time or money). From injectables like Botox, Dysport, and Daxify, to how we can maintain facial volume as we age, to achieving glowy skin and improving texture—we cover it all. My hope is that you walk away feeling more informed, more confident, and less pressured to chase every new trend!   WHAT TO EXPECT IN THIS EPISODE What we think every woman needs to know before getting fillers The only filler Dr. Jo feels confident using on her patients' temples How we lose facial volume over time (and why a facelift isn't the full solution) Why you shouldn't chase trending treatments or "fad" injectables How Dr. Jo thinks about achieving glowy, "glass" skin in midlife Tips for maintaining smooth, healthy skin texture How Dr. Jo and I met—and why I trust her approach The differences between Botox, Dysport, Daxify, and other neuromodulators Why Botox is safe (even though it's technically a toxin) Whether microneedling with PRP is worth the extra cost What to do about crepey skin Dr. Jo's honest thoughts on peptides Why too much biotin is not a good thing Hair growth solutions, including oral minoxidil Whether permanent hair removal actually exists   LINKS & RESOURCES MENTIONED: Connect with Dr. Jo Lynne Herzog at Elite Skin Nutrafol Women's Hair Growth Supplements - Vegan Sunbetter SHEER SPF 56 Mineral Sunscreen Stick   WHERE TO LISTEN The SavvyCast is available on all podcasting platforms and YouTube.
