Dr. Kay Durairaj: All Things Aesthetic and Keeping It Natural: Botox, Filler, PRP, and More

Alex Dry Season 1 Episode 17

This week's entry is with someone I deeply admire — not just as a doctor, but as a businesswoman and total boss — Dr. Kay Durairaj. She’s the only person I trust with my face. More than an aesthetics expert, Dr. Kay is a double-boarded powerhouse: a head and neck surgeon and a facial plastic surgeon. Her surgical background means she doesn’t just know how to enhance your features naturally — she understands the anatomy, structure, and function behind every decision she makes.

In this episode, Dr. Kay opens up about her path to medicine, what inspired her to enter the world of aesthetics, and how she built her thriving private practice in Pasadena, CA. We dive into everything from Botox and filler to non-invasive options like PRP, and when surgical procedures — like eyelid lifts — might actually be the better choice. She shares real advice on aging gracefully, starting preventative treatments, and choosing beauty that feels aligned with who you are, notwhat’s trending.

This entry is a deep dive into her diary — the story of becoming one of the top doctors in the aesthetics industry. We love a boss woman, and Dr. Kay is exactly that. She opens up about what confidence really looks like, how she built her practice from the ground up, and why true beauty starts from within.

If you’ve ever been curious, hesitant, or just wanted someone to break it all down honestly — this episode is for you. You can follow Doctor Kay on her socials, book an appointment, or listen to her podcast.
