Episode Transcript
As we step into November 20th, it’s the perfect time to prepare for the festive glow we all desire during the holiday season. Considering Botox or fillers? Now’s your chance to plan those sessions well in advance. Nurse practitioner Kara Babaz shares that maintaining our appearance often gets tucked away behind other pressing responsibilities. Our faces, much like a canvas, need thoughtful enhancement to revitalize the beautiful essence we naturally possess.
Babaz notes how aging can sneak up on us, starting with bone loss in the mid-face, leading to volume loss. However, there’s no need to jump straight to surgery. A variety of non-invasive options, like lunchtime Botox or Morpheus8, can rejuvenate your look without the downtime. These treatments can help tighten skin and restore volume, offering just a hint of a brow lift or softening those crow’s feet around your eyes.
Amidst new advancements in weight loss, Babaz addresses the concern of wanting to maintain not just a slimmer waist but also a vibrant face. Dermal fillers and bio-stimulants are here to help replenish and support your body’s collagen production, crafting that signature holiday glow. However, if injectables aren’t your thing, robust skincare routines with exfoliating polishes and retinol can work wonders too.
Today, as Babaz points out, about 30 to 40 percent of her clientele are men, highlighting a growing acceptance and understanding of self-care’s importance across the board. Whether through injectables or skincare, the option to enhance our natural beauty is not just about aesthetics—it’s about building confidence and embracing who we are, especially in a season that’s all about celebration and connection.
