Erin Alonso, MSN, FNP—owner of DermFx Medical Spas in Southern California—sits down with her bestie Amber Johnson, founder of Facial Lounge, for a cheeky dive into the ever-growing world of AI: which celebs look practically unrecognizable online, and is AI-generated content on platforms like OnlyFans helping or hurting the adult industry?

They then unpack Ricki Lake’s headline-grabbing transformation—Ozempic and a facelift she’s openly discussed—and what it means for the rest of us. With GLP-1 weight loss on the rise, Erin explains how facial fat loss can age you fast (“like taking the flesh out of a grape”) and how biostimulators like Sculptra can help rebuild structure and bounce.

Finally, Erin and Amber rate viral TikTok trends—from beef tallow skincare to old-wives’ tricks that might actually work—and separate the keepers from the cringe. Press play for candid takes, pro tips, and plenty of laughs.
