The Late Late Aesthetics Show with Vanessa Lana Brown

Next on the Late Late Aesthetics Show, we're having the conversation the industry keeps tiptoeing around. 🍷

Dr. Angela Tewari award-winning Consultant Dermatologist and one of the most respected evidence-based voices in skin health is here to tell you what your skin has been trying to say for years.

We get into the truth:

➤ What alcohol is actually doing to your skin at a cellular level
➤ Why inflammation is the silent ager nobody wants to blame their lifestyle for
➤ Pigmentation, stress & the internal triggers ageing your face faster than the sun
➤ Why no supplement, serum or treatment can outrun a bad lifestyle
➤ What evidence-based longevity actually looks like for your skin

This isn't about being perfect.
This isn't about never having a drink again.
This is about understanding what's really happening beneath the surface and making informed choices with your eyes open.

Because healthy skin isn't a look.

It's how your skin responds to everything you put it through.
And some of what you're putting it through… it's time to talk about it.

Proudly supported by W Wellness UK 🤍

Next on the Late Late Aesthetics Show, this one is different.

Emma Wedgwood, Advanced Nurse Practitioner, Clinical Director, and 20 years deep in healthcare is doing something the industry rarely talks about.

Through her pro bono initiative Restore, Reclaim & Renew, she's using aesthetics to help people in recovery rebuild more than their skin. She's giving back confidence, dignity, and the feeling of being yourself again.

}We get into the truth:

➤ Why aesthetics isn't just about looking good it's about feeling human again
➤ The raw reality of working with people in recovery
➤ What "Restore, Reclaim & Renew" is and why it matters
➤ The role our industry could and should be playing in people's lives
➤ What 20 years in healthcare teaches you about resilience

This one is raw. Powerful. And deeply, unapologetically human.

Because confidence isn't a luxury. For some people, it's the first step back to life.

If this industry can do that… imagine what it's capable of.

Next on the Late Late Aesthetics Show, we're going transatlantic. 🇺🇸

Dr. Heather Levites of Levity Lifts board-certified plastic surgeon, straight talker, and someone who genuinely doesn't have time for the misinformation flooding your feed.

We get into the truth:

➤ What surgery actually looks like vs. what you see online
➤ Post-baby bodies, mommy makeovers & what patients really want
➤ BBLs, fat transfer & the danger of chasing trends under the knife
➤ The safety conversations most surgeons aren't having
➤ What informed consent actually means and why it changes everything

No judgement. No filters. No Instagram illusions. Just an open, honest conversation about one of the most misunderstood industries in the world.

If you're thinking about surgery, curious about surgery, or just tired of being lied to about it… this one's for you.

Next on the Late Late Aesthetics Show it’s Debbie Thomas 🤍

The woman behind that skin, trusted by names like Dua Lipa.

Celebrity facialist. Founder of Cellis.
20+ years. 40,000+ hours. Zero time for skincare nonsense.

We get into the truth:

➤ The biggest lies about skin that keep people stuck
➤ Why quick fixes don’t work (and what actually does)
➤ The habits that quietly ruin your skin over time
➤ How to build a routine that makes sense for your skin, not trends
➤ Why great skin isn’t created, it’s maintained

No secrets. No magic. No shortcuts.
Just consistency, discipline, and actually understanding your skin.

If you’re still chasing quick fixes… this one will reset you.

This week I’m joined by Dr Yasmin Tayeb, founder of Wellface®️, to talk facial harmony, dentistry and the future of aesthetics.

We explore:

➤ Can you take 10 years off your face without looking “done”?
 ➤ Why your bite, jaw position, and smile affect your whole face
 ➤ The link between dentistry, facial balance, and ageing
 ➤ What “facial harmony” actually means in real life
 ➤ The safest, most natural-looking route to a fresher face

If you’ve ever looked at photos and thought something feels off, this episode will change how you see your face.

Because great aesthetics isn’t just skin deep, it’s structure.

Next on The Late Late Aesthetics Show I’m sitting down with Dr Maryam Zamani who is an oculoplastic surgeon, founder of MZ Skin, mother and one of the most respected minds in global aesthetics.

She operates on the most delicate area of the human face... the eyes.

And what she’s learned about ageing from that vantage point might completely change how you think about beauty.

Because this isn’t about “anti-ageing.”

It’s about longevity.

In a world chasing youth, injectables and instant results, Dr Zamani has built her name and her brand on restraint, precision and playing the long game. Skin health over skin trends. Identity over insecurity. Legacy over likes.

In this conversation, we explore:

– Why the eye is the first place we see ageing and the first place we see identity
 – The dangerous obsession with looking younger at any cost
 – The difference between maintaining skin and manipulating it
 – Building a global brand from surgical credibility
 – Motherhood, ambition and redefining what success actually looks like
 – What beauty will mean in 2026 and why the future is more intelligent, not more artificial

If you care about ageing well, not just ageing slower, this conversation will stay with you.

Next on The Late Late Aesthetics Show is Dr Elizabeth Hawkes, Consultant Ophthalmic & Oculoplastic Surgeon, aesthetic practitioner, and one of Tatler’s Top Doctors, to break down what really works around the eyes and what’s just hype.

We explore:

➤ Why the eye area ages differently to the rest of the face
 ➤ Surgical vs non-surgical eye rejuvenation and who each option is for
 ➤ The skincare steps that actually make a difference (and what’s a waste of money)
 ➤ Safety, anatomy, and the red flags to watch for before any treatment
 ➤ How to keep results balanced so you still look like you
 ➤ The cultural obsession with looking 35 and why it’s messing with confidence

If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and thought I just look tired, this episode will change how you see the eye area.

Because the eyes don’t just show age. They show experience.

It’s a W Wellness UK takeover again and this one’s all about self-care, confidence and keeping things natural.

Joining me is Dr Pamela Benito, founder of Clinic Shiro, to break down why taking care of yourself isn’t a luxury… it’s maintenance.

We explore:

➤ Why women feel guilty for investing in themselves
➤ The difference between subtle enhancement and chasing trends
➤ How to keep your individuality while still looking fresher
➤ What science-backed skin rejuvenation actually means
➤ How to create balance and harmony in the face without the done look
➤ What a caring, honest consult should feel like (and the red flags to avoid)

If you want to look like you, just healthier, calmer, and more confident, this episode is the reset.

Because self-care isn’t vanity. It’s wellbeing.

It’s a W Wellness UK takeover and this one’s all about sleep and longevity.

Joining me is Anna Lancaster hypnotherapist, subconscious specialist and founder of Anna Lancaster Therapy to break down the real connection between how we sleep… and how long we live.

We explore:

 ➤ Why poor sleep speeds up ageing
 ➤ How to build a rhythm that protects your future health
 ➤ The Subconscious Reset Method™ for better rest
➤ Breathwork, bedtime triggers & rewiring habits
➤ The myth of ‘catching up’ on sleep

If you want better energy, clearer skin, and to stay sharp as you age it all starts with what you do before bed.

Because longevity isn’t about luck. It’s about lifestyle.
