Hi beauties! 

On this week's Five Minute Friday, I talk to you about tanning beds and the risk that comes with them! As a facial plastic surgeon, I know a thing or two about the negative effects tanning can have on your skin. More than a million cases of skin cancer will be diagnosed this year and 90 % of those cases can be brought on by sun exposure and tanning beds. With prom season rapidly approaching and many brides getting ready to tie the knot, a "base tan" is more often than not on their checklist. I cover some of the different types of skin cancer, why tanning beds are your skin's worst enemy, and some of the ways you can shield yourself from the sun!

On this week's episode of Beauty Bytes with Dr. Kay: Secrets of a Plastic Surgeon, Callie and Thomas from my fabulous team join me! Today is Callie's last day with me as she gears up for med-school and what lies ahead. I am so happy to be surrounded by a team of young, motivated individuals that have a genuine interest in the medical field. I value having the opportunity to mentor my staff and guide them in the right direction when it comes to things like applying for med-school! Thomas joined my team at the beginning of this year and will be applying to med-school before we know it! We talk about what it takes to get into med-school, how to survive it, and I offer some wisdom to both Callie and Thomas. I will miss Callie and am so appreciative of her help with my Radiesse Beach Butt Study. Stay tuned for progress photos and video content as I conduct this research study from my Pasadena, California practice!

Happy Friday, beauties! On this week's Five Minute Friday, I chat with Miss California USA, Erica Dann! This gorgeous gal is truly the full package.

This past weekend while I was in Monte-Carlo, I had a chance to catch up with the glamorous health and fitness guru, Ingrid De La Mare! For those of you that listen to follow The Skinny Confidential, you may have heard of Ingrid before. In this episode, we chat all about Simply Inulin, the fiber and pre-biotic supplement that influencers and fitness fans are absolutely raving about! Ingrid is an amazing storyteller and I get a chance to ask her about her time in New York working in fashion and entertainment, moving to Monaco, and what lead her to start her own Pilates studio, THE METHOD®! Ingrid tells us about how she ended up in Federal prison and how she coped with her son's disability as a 20-year-old new mom. I had so much fun recording this episode and Ingrid was one of the most fabulous guests on the podcasts to date! Moms, fitness junkies, and girl bosses will love this episode.

On this week's episode of Beauty Bytes with Dr. Kay: Secrets of a Plastic Surgeon, Billie Lee from Vanderpump Rules joins me! This boss girl is best known for battling mean girls and resisting gender norms on Bravo! reality series, Vanderpump Rules. Billie is an advocate for transgender rights and proudly transitioned from male to female in her early twenties. As a facial plastic surgeon, I know a thing or two about facial feminization. This process is so personal and as a surgeon, you feel a great deal of responsibility taking someone's personal identity into your hands. Billie chats with us about some of her upcoming projects including an appearance on Dr. Drew Pinsky's widely known podcast, The Dr. Drew Podcast and collaboration with Regneix Hair Care! We talk about the transition process, makeup tricks, injectables, and more during the podcast. I'm so happy to have met Billie and hope you all enjoy this very special interview!

Women can spend time and money on feeling and looking beautiful on the outside, but we need to make sure the same amount of energy and effort is made to feel confident on the inside by having all their legal ducks in a row. In this weeks Five Minute Friday, I talk to Armine Bazikyan, Esq. about planning for the unexpected!

She is also the Founder of Bazikyan Law Group, APC, a boutique law firm focusing exclusively on educating the general public about the California laws that control incapacity and inheritance.  She helps beautiful women make sure their assets are protected and pass on to their loved ones. So many women are left with financial hardships life throws them a curveball and it doesn't have to be like that. As a mother of teenage girls, one of the most important lessons I can teach them is planning for your future.

On this week’s podcast, I talk to you all about Sculptra! Sculptra, also known as poly-L-lactic acid is made from the same material that stitches come from! I love this injectable because of how effective it is at helping your body produce its own collagen! I love educating all of my Beauty Byters about products like Sculptra. It is so important to know that there is more to injectables than just Botox or filler! In this episode, I tell you all of the reasons why I love Sculptra, some of my favorite areas to treat, and why patients see such gorgeous results with this product! You may have heard a thing or two about Sculptra from watching my videos of the Sculptra Butt Augmentation. This injectable was originally designed to help HIV patients that lost facial volume. One of the greatest things about medicine is finding new, innovative ways to use products beyond what they were originally meant for. If you’re looking to turn back the clock, come see me for some Sculptra! Everyone can use a little pick me up.
