Forget everything you thought you knew about your ageing journey: from your mid-twenties, your collagen levels are on a downward trajectory! And if you want to hold onto the bounce of your baby cheeks, you need to understand the science of stimulation.

To get the real facts, Kelly's talking to cosmetic doctor Dr. Yalda for a straight-up, science-based discussion about collagen stimulators (one of the most buzzed-about treatments in aesthetics)! We cover everything from setting realistic expectations (results can take months!) to the critical role of your lifestyle (yes, you need to be eating enough protein!). Plus, Dr. Yalda reveals the biggest red flags to watch out for when choosing a practitioner and chats the two bizarre TikTok beauty trends that she thinks should be banned forever.
