What if we don’t age in a linear pattern, and instead, experience pronounced “bursts” at ages 44 and 60? The latest study out Stanford Medicine published in the scientific journal, Nature, has given the skincare community a lot to mull over. Today, we’re welcoming double-board certified dermatologist, cosmetic surgeon and host of the Derm Approved podcast, Dr. Sheila Farhang, to help us break it all down. 

Listen in as Dr. Sheila explains the best way to prepare for an aging “spike” and tune in until the end to hear her predictions for what we’ll all be talking about in 2025.

You’ll hear about:

• “Prejuvenation” secrets: The treatments to invest in before your next spike, and what she’s *personally* stopped doing this year (buh-bye masseter Botox!)
• Where to click to find your best dermatologist provider, for cosmetic or medical purposes, without any spon-con
• Is there a “secret” menu at your dermatologist’s office that we should know about?? The cocktailing injection fads that are and aren’t worth trying, according to the derm
• Dr. Sheila’s response to filler fatigue, “perception drift” and where some injectors have gone way overboard
• Getting filler dissolved? Listen to what Dr. Sheila has to say first 
• The surprising ingredient that she predicts will be big in 2025, beyond its gimmicky reputation
• The peer-reviewed injectors seal of approval list we mention is Castle Connolly and esthetic concierge services like Persana

Pssst! We were guests over on Dr. Sheila’s podcast, Derm Approved, discussing how to manage tough-to-treat areas like eye bags and jowls. Tune in here to listen!
