It's no secret that the key to looking younger is to appear well-rested. We sit down with one of the best and brightest oculo-facial and reconstructive surgeons in the country to talk about what you need to know before getting filler under the eyes. Dr. Maryam Nazemzadeh (https://sanctuarycosmeticcenter.com/about/our-doctors/dr-maryam-nazemzadeh/) of Sanctuary Cosmetic Center, talks about which common filler areas can cause blindness (it's not the tear trough but it is somewhere you wouldn't expect), and takes us through exactly what happens in this non-surgical procedure. This is a must-listen for anyone who wants to tackle dark circles and under-eye bags.

If you've ever thought about giving up your monthly in-office facial to buy a trendy at-home device (laser, pen or other such thing) you NEED to hear this before spending your money. Raechel Lowe, (https://www.instagram.com/laserrae/?hl=en) a licensed aesthetician, clinical educator and laser specialist, on the efficacy of at-home lasers, microneedling devices and hair removal tools, and what you absolutely need to do in order to operate these in a safe manner.

Here's a little secret: if you've ever iced a pulled muscle, you've already done cryotherapy, which literally means “cold therapy." Put simply, cryotherapy is a technique where the body is exposed to extremely cold temperatures for several minutes. The treatment can be delivered to just one area (localized), or you can opt for whole-body cryotherapy. Similar to the ice bath that professional athletes utilize after an extreme workout, cryotherapy reduces inflammation, resulting in quicker muscle recovery and decreased muscle soreness. It can also offer relief for people suffering from chronic pain, inflammation-related diseases and skin disorders like fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and eczema and has been used to promote quicker healing post injury or surgery. Recently, cryotherapy has been popularized by athletes and fitness enthusiasts, the stressed-out and overworked, those looking to get their bodies back on track from injury and chronic pain, and those seeking general health and wellness. Amber and Ryan hit Capital Cryo (https://capitalcryo.com/) to see if this extreme cold could cure Amber's summer sickness, and to talk to a cryo therapist about what to expect from your first cryo session.

If you've been looking for a way to instantly reveal smoother, brighter, celeb-worthy skin, it's time to try dermaplaning. This procedure is an exfoliating treatment in which a licensed medical aesthetician gently scrapes the surface of your skin with a surgical scalpel to remove dead skin and vellus hair (the peach fuzz). While once only available in MediSpas, you can now go fuzz-free and maintain your flawless foundation affordably, at home. We sit down with Dermaflash (https://www.dermaflash.com/) founder (and original #bossbabe) Dara Levy to talk about the benefits of dermaplaning and how she built a beauty empire from a simple ah-ha moment. She also let us in on her latest invention to tackle stubborn blackheads – and all of the pore squeezers out there won't be disappointed!

If you are thinking of a nose job, you are not alone. The process of reshaping the nose, referred to as rhinoplasty, is one of the most popular facial plastic surgery procedures today, with around half a million people each year seeking consultation regarding having one. However, if you're considering this procedure it's essential to speak with a qualified surgeon to learn the details about what to expect and how to set realistic goals. We talk with guest, Dr. Yael Halaas, (https://www.drhalaas.com/) about how patients can achieve a natural look that is fit for them, rather than using a “cookie cutter” approach that many others use.  She even shares her "try before you buy" technique that will let you test drive a nose before you commit to full surgery.

Summer is a breading time for foot fungus. Dr. Emily Splichal (https://www.dremilysplichal.com/) talks about foot fungus and how to it at the gym, nail salons, and why you'll never walk barefoot in a hotel room again.  And, before you get your next wax, you'll definitely want to listen to this!

Wearing the right pair of shoes can make or break your day – nothing is worse than being far from home, with shoes that blister and hurt.  And let's be honest: We all have that pair of shoes (sitting in the back of our closets) that look fabulous but are just a bit too tight, or don't provide enough support.
