Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Welcome back to the A+ Podcast. In this Part 2 episode, Amy sits down again with Orange County dermatologist Dr. Zenovia Gabriel to get very real about modern beauty culture from oversized lips and overdone faces in Newport Beach to acne, Accutane, hair loss, lasers, and TikTok skincare trends.
They talk about why so many women in Orange County feel pressure to “keep up,” how social media and filters are affecting teen girls, the truth about fillers and migration, low-dose Accutane, adult acne, yeast acne, collagen stimulation, laser hair removal, female hair loss, peptides, and what’s actually worth your money versus snake oil.
