The tables are turned today as Dr. Judith Borger interviews Dr. Kate Dee, owner of Glow Med Spa in Seattle and author of the newly released book 'Med Spa Mayhem'. They discuss Dr. Dee's accidental yet fulfilling journey into the aesthetics industry, the impetus behind writing her book, and the critical need for consumer education in an unregulated market. Highlighting the good, bad, and ugly facets of the industry, the book aims to arm consumers with the knowledge they need to make safe, informed decisions. Alongside discussing personal anecdotes and notable industry malpractice cases, the episode underscores the risks involved with illegal and unlicensed cosmetic procedures, emphasizing the importance of asking the right questions to ensure safety. Both practitioners aim to shine a light on these issues with hopes for future industry regulation.
