In this episode of Skin Anarchy, host Ekta is joined by internationally renowned aesthetic physician Dr. Ivona Igerc—also known as Dr. Ivy—for a thought-provoking conversation on the future of regenerative skincare and the role of cultural intelligence in aesthetic medicine. With a background in oral surgery and a PhD in bone regeneration, Dr. Ivy shares her journey from clinical research in Europe to pioneering facial harmony techniques in Asia and the Middle East.

Dr. Ivy offers her unique perspective on beauty—one that merges anatomical expertise, sculptural artistry, and a deep respect for cultural differences. She explains why global ideals of beauty cannot be standardized, and why subtle, undetectable enhancement is the new gold standard. Her “Face Design” method prioritizes identity preservation while elevating natural balance and character.

The conversation also dives into the science behind her latest innovation: Europe’s first exosome-based skincare line. Unlike stem cells, exosomes offer potent regenerative benefits in a more accessible form, delivering molecular messengers that boost collagen, reduce inflammation, and restore skin vitality. Paired with a newly developed at-home device that incorporates LED, radiofrequency, and EMS, Dr. Ivy is redefining what it means to care for skin from the inside out.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in regenerative beauty, global aesthetics, and the evolution of skincare. Dr. Ivy’s fusion of science, soul, and cultural insight is ushering in a smarter, more human approach to modern beauty.
