Couples are waiting longer and longer to get married.  However, planning a wedding in your 30's, 40's and beyond means vastly different considerations than when you're in your 20s – from budgeting (should I take time off work?) to beauty (should you botox?). Our guest Erica, the managing editor for Travel Leaders Group, (https://www.travelleadersgroup.com/) share her experience and advice for more mature brides.

Celebrities will put their names on everything from cars to coffee.  But when a celebrity comes out with their own beauty line, how involved are they really?  We tapped Doreen Bloch, the founder and CEO of Poshly (https://poshly.com/), a beauty-focused data analytics company to shed some light on the growing trends of celeb beauty lines.  She'll dish on the best and worst of celebrity beauty, and then shares some great facts on lipstick.

Sun exposure can result in premature aging of the skin, which can often reveal itself as brown pigmented spots that we lovingly refer to as age spots and sun spots.  These brown lesions often appear on the face, chest and back, as well as the back of the hands and legs.  But luckily, in a cosmetic sense, we can undo some of the damage using a combination of at-home and in-office treatments.  Our guest, Dr. Robyn Gmyrek (https://www.unionderm.com/about/dr-robyn-gmyrek/), spent over 20 years on the faculty of Columbia University Medical Center where she was Division Chief of Cosmetic Dermatology and founded Columbia University’s Cosmetic Skin and Laser Center.  Now a practicing dermatologist, she shares her vast knowledge of the treatments that work, and when they are safe to use.  From Hydroquinone to Fraxel, she'll share her favorite ways to remove pigmented lesions from your skin.

Eyelid lift surgery, or blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure with the goal of improving the appearance of the eyelids. Patients seeking an eyelid lift surgery do so either for cosmetic improvement and rejuvenation, or to repair a functional problem when eyelids heaviness interferes with their peripheral vision. We talk to Dr. Maryam Nazemzadeh (https://sanctuarycosmeticcenter.com/about/our-doctors/dr-maryam-nazemzadeh/), a top oculo-facial plastic surgeon, about when an eyelid surgery is recommended, and why you might not want to hold out for insurance to cover it.

Close to 80 million men and women suffer from hereditary hair loss. For many years, the only treatment options supported by research were Minoxidil and Propecia. More recent research is showing that Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is also successful at stimulating hair growth. Studies prove that PRP stimulates a faster transition to the anagen phase of hair cycling back from the resting and transitional phases, as well as an increase in the number and thickness of newly formed follicles.

Our guest, Dr. Jennifer Chwalek, (https://www.unionderm.com/about/dr-jennifer-chwalek/) researched hair loss at the University of California, San Francisco. Since entering private practice, she has helped thousands of patients of all ages and genders who struggle with hair loss and thinning. She weighs in on some of the treatments available to stimulate follicular hair growth, and debunks some common hair-growth myths.
