“When we are doing aesthetic treatments that are increasing collagen and elastin production, you have to consider, ‘What do cells need to make collagen and elastin?’ They need great forms of nutrients, proteins, and building blocks,” says internal medicine physician Glenicia Nosworthy M.D., who specializes in aesthetic and integrative medicine. “I can inject you with anything that's going to stimulate the cell. But if the cell is not getting the nourishment or the nutrients that it needs to function properly, then your response is going to be very minimal. And you're going to be paying for multiple treatments and you're not going to get maximum results.” In this episode of Clean Beauty School, mindbodygreen beauty director and host Alexandra Engler chats with Nosworthy about platelet rich fibrin treatments, how to boost collagen production, and what nutrients to focus on for skin health.

152: Essential oils, aging & your skin barrier | Athena Hewett, esthetician

“We have a saying in plastic surgery, ‘The person who has the least experience is the one who tends to do the most.’ For anybody who's thinking about doing something cosmetic, do not try to alter anything more than 85 percent of what you think is ideal. If you abide by that, you will stay out of trouble,” says holistic plastic surgeon & aesthetic rejuvenation specialist Julius Few, M.D. In this episode of Clean Beauty School, mindbodygreen beauty director and host Alexandra Engler chats with Few about his concept of “four dimensional beauty,” his skin care principles, and why less is more.

151: The best treatments for mature skin | Julius Few, M.D., holistic plastic surgeon

“The first signs of aging often show up in your mouth. Remember, it's one of the most used parts of the body. You know, your skin loses collagen and volume, but so do the teeth. The bones in your face change, the musculature changes, and the teeth can experience things like chipping and discoloration,” says celebrity cosmetic dentist Victoria Veytsman, DDS. In this episode of Clean Beauty School, host and mindbodygreen beauty director Alexandra Engler chats with Veytsman about how the smile changes with age, oral health’s impact on overall health, and the oral microbiome.
