The line between aesthetic enhancement and unnatural transformation has never been more blurred. In this candid conversation with Couture Med Spa's nurse practitioner and corporate trainer Mary Brooks, we dive deep into the treatments worth your investment and the concerning trends dominating social media feeds.
Mary reveals why the Nefertiti lift creates such dramatic improvements for clients with early jowling, and why Sculptra remains her personal holy grail treatment that she'll "do every year for the rest of my life." We also explore the underappreciated magic of SkinVeve, which Mary describes as "a glow product, not a show product" that delivers subtle but powerful results that generate consistent compliments.
The conversation takes a critical turn as Mary addresses the alarming trend of overfilled jawlines that masculinize feminine faces. "We're making all these people look like blockheads," she observes, emphasizing how providers must prioritize natural enhancement over drastic alteration. We also unpack the "trap tox" phenomenon, weighing its legitimate benefits for muscle tension against potential overuse.
From her perspective as a trainer, Mary shares valuable insights about common mistakes new injectors make, particularly the pressure to please clients by following social media trends rather than applying their professional expertise. "You're the expert, you're the one who is trained, not the client," she emphasizes.
Looking toward the future, we discuss how Couture Med Spa continues evolving beyond traditional aesthetics into holistic wellness with NAD+ injections, peptide therapies, and body contouring – creating new pathways for clients to experience comprehensive care under one roof.
Whether you're a seasoned skincare enthusiast or just beginning your aesthetic journey, this episode offers honest, expert guidance to help you navigate the increasingly complex world of med spa treatments.

Meet Mary Brooks: Expert Injector
Speaker 1Welcome back to another episode of Couture Conversations, the podcast where we go behind the scenes of the med spa world and dive into the treatments, trends and experts shaping the future of aesthetics. I'm your host, Lindsay, and today I'm so excited to be sitting down with none other than Mary Brooks, our very own nurse practitioner and corporate trainer here at Couture Med Spa. Mary is not only an expert injector and educator, but she's also seen it all when it comes to the med spa trends the good, the bad and the ones in between. In today's episode, we're chatting about the best and the worst trends over the decades, what it really takes to become a standout aesthetic provider, and Mary's personal favorite treatments that she swears by. So, whether you're a seasoned skincare lover or just starting your med spa journey, you are in for a treat. So, Mary, thanks for joining me, Thank you for having me. So we're going to start off with some of the fun stuff. So what are some med spa trends that you absolutely love and will think that they'll stay around for all time?
Speaker 2Let's see. So one of my favorites is the Nefertiti lift, which kind of came out of nowhere. I think it makes a huge difference in clients. You maybe wouldn't think that it would, but treating the jawline and those platysmal bands is making a huge difference for people before having to go into filler. I love that. One Sculptra you know is my favorite so that I will stick to forever. It's a collagen booster. We treat temples, cheeks and jawline for a little liquid facelift with that one. Love that. And then my third that I've been obsessed with lately is the Skin Veve by Jupiter. I don't think it gets enough attention. It's a glow product, not a show product. So it's kind of hard to show before and afters of that one. You know everybody's obsessed with before and afters. They want to see it Like, they want to know what results they're going to get. That one's a little bit more difficult to kind of show that in photos, um, so I don't think that's getting enough traction. But that's another one of my favorites.
Speaker 1Yeah, I can say I've had, um, when I had skin weave done, it was one of those that, um, I just got so many compliments on my skin after and it wasn't like, uh, oh, you got this done, or whatever it was. It was just like, oh, your skin looks really good right now. And one thing for me that I noticed is I felt like it helped a lot with my redness. And I know when we did our training we did a training with a dinner of one of the allergen reps and they were talking about it and how redness wasn't necessarily something that was like tested, but they did notice it in some of their like before and after photos with clients that it helped with the redness. And for me I felt like it helped with my redness a ton. I don't know if it was more of just like my skin was more hydrated or what it was, but my redness definitely went away.
Speaker 2And that's a lot coming from you, because your skin always looks freaking amazing Like. I know you guys can't see her or whatever, but Lindsay has perfect skin. Any photo she takes, any video she makes, all I do is stare at her amazing, glowing, amazing, perfect skin. So it's great that you love SkinV, because I feel like your skin always looks great and like I didn't even think it could get better.
Speaker 1Thanks, yeah, it is hard and this is a better Thanks. Yeah, it is hard and this is a I don't know how to say it, but it's. It's a good problem to have that. Yeah, I'll try some things out and I can't really tell if I can tell a huge difference or not, because I do have good skin and I do do a lot of things to like treat it and maintain it. Um, so there's a lot of these things that are great out there, but I can't be like, oh my gosh, I saw this huge difference with it and it was a nice thing with SkinVeve, because at first I didn't really notice it. I just again felt like, oh, my skin looked really good, but when I started getting more compliments on it I was like hmm, and I went back and I took pictures and I was like, oh, my redness is a lot better.
Speaker 1So when my redness wasn't shining through as much, I felt like you could see more of the glow of the skin so yeah, that was a huge one for me. I love SkinVeve and I would pair it with when a lot of my clients we would do microneedling with them and then I would tell them like, hey, go get SkinVeve after, because it's just gonna help totally enhance that glow that they're gonna be getting from their. Yeah, it's definitely one of those more subtle like where someone's just like oh, your skin looks really good.
Speaker 2It looks different, Um, I completely agree. After I got skin beef, a lot of clients were saying, like what are you doing? Like your skin just looks glowy. Like it just looks different. Um, and I have good skin. I don't have great skin like you, Um. But for clients to actually notice and it would probably be like a month after I got my skin bead that I would start getting a lot of compliments and I would start to notice my makeup was sitting better, Like my little fine lines that bother me around my eyes. They weren't so bad. The lines around my nose weren't so bad and I just felt really dewy and my pores were tiny and like I just love it, Like I can tell right at the six week mark, it's time to get another one. Give me more.
Speaker 1Yes. For anyone who doesn't know what's the nephrotini neck lift. So nephrotini.
Speaker 2Neck lift is toxin. You can use any type of toxin. We treat right along the jawline down all the platysmals. We'll typically do DAOs and chin with it. So it's paralyzing all those depressor muscles. So we have the depressor muscles that cause jowling, so those are kind of pulling where our platysmals are pulling from the depressor muscles in the chin just along the jawline. When we're knocking those depressors out, the other muscles kind of counteract and kind of pull everything up. So it looks very natural. You get that snatched jawline without having to add filler, especially if you only have like a little bit of jowling, something you're not quite ready for filler for. This is just a really good treatment and it kind of smooths out the chin and everybody just looks really good.
Speaker 1So on the flip side of that, are there any trends that you wish we could erase from the industry?
Speaker 2So what I have been seeing a lot of now and I hate to like put anybody down, but tons of injectors now are posting their before and afters or videos of their jawline treatments. I'm sorry, some of these jawlines are just out of control. We're making all these people look like blockheads. We're taking these beautiful feminine faces and completely masculinizing them and then they're posting everyone's like wow, amazing, good job, snatched jawline. But when you look from the front, when you look at different angles, it looks completely unnatural, like their chin is three inches past their nose when you line it up, like that's not a good look, that's not what we're going for. Um, so I just think that's getting a little out of control and people need to kind of tone it down and remember what a natural face looks like. You're beautifying, you're not completely changing, and all this extra volume is just too much.
Speaker 1I would agree with you. I've seen definitely going back to like the jawline area where it's like, yes, there's that fine line between like, yeah, you still want to have like a snatched jawline and like it looks good, but not making it masculine, like not having that squared off jawline, like that's not not the look usually that we're going for yeah.
Speaker 2And a lot of people are doing it, and especially when these girls are coming in with perfect jawlines already you know, and they're like oh, I saw on TikTok this jawline treatment and it's like you don't need it. But I see a lot of providers not couture. I mean, our girls are really good at knowing that line when, um, when it too much is too much, um. But I definitely see online and social media and they're just taking these perfect outlines that they already have and adding all this volume to it. And now it's like is it a? I don't know, is that a man, Is it a woman? Are we overdoing it? Like, why do they look so unnatural?
Speaker 1I feel like there was one that went around. Is it during I think during the Barbie movie, when like trap that went around. Is it during, I think during the Barbie movie, when like trap talks went around.
Speaker 2I was trying to get.
Speaker 1What are your thoughts on that? I did it once, so I yeah.
Speaker 2I think if you're doing it I mean obviously you you're using your arms. Your shoulders are sore. At the end of the day, you're constantly hunched over doing like your facials and stuff I think if you're doing it for tension and it helps great, if you're doing it for that Barbie look, be super careful because you can overdo it. You know, and I did see online, people have like bobbleheads. Now they can't really lift up their head, like if it's being placed in the wrong area. Just make sure you go to someone who knows what they're doing. Don't overdo it. If you're getting like a hundred units per side, like I don't know, how are you moving your head properly?
Speaker 1Yeah, I always wonder too, like how obtainable is that to like continuously do that Like it's a lot of units to for something that, yeah, it is If it's not necessary.
Speaker 2Right, yeah, and if they're doing so many units like you're probably going to build up a tolerance and then sorry for your forehead.
Speaker 1It's not going to work anymore. Which would you rather have? Yes, right, I'd rather have my forehead.
Speaker 2Exactly so. I'm not saying don't do it, don't follow the trend or anything, but just don't overdo it. Go to someone who knows what they're doing.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, I liked mine when I did it and, like you said, it was because of, with doing facials all day, I constantly am like hunched over arms up everything like that, and I was like I do get a lot of like tension in that area and they are always really tight. Um, I did notice a difference with it, for sure. I definitely felt like it helped. Um, but, yeah, it wasn't something that I kept up with, um, that I felt like, oh, I have to do this, but I will say if, yeah, if you're someone that constantly has that tension and pulling at it, it was something that that helped. I did see a difference with it.
Speaker 2How long would you say yours lasted in that area Um? Maybe two-ish three months, okay, yeah, so you feel like you'd have to kind of come back and get it with your facial Botox, probably yeah.
Speaker 1Gotcha, which seemed like a lot. Yeah right For like, yeah, to be realistic with it, something to do all the time. I could see if you're like I don't know if I want to call it like in a flare up, but you're like man, I've been feeling really tense lately and like go have it done, but to have it as something that's done consistently. I think would be really hard.
Mistakes New Injectors Make
Speaker 2No, yeah, I agree it's a lot of units. Especially if you're going for the Barbie, look like that's even more units because you're literally trying to shrink that muscle. Yeah, so I mean me, it's not something I recommend all the time. How do you feel about lip flips? Lip flips it's good for some people, some people like me who already has lip filler I have a little bit of migration those people I don't recommend. It literally looked like I smelled a fart for like a couple of weeks after I got it, like my lip was flipped up, my filler was showing, like it was just a lot. Those girls with small lips or even the younger girls who just want a little something. Great for them. They love it. It gives them a little bit more of a lip show. They can do their lip liner and they're overdrawn and it looks good. So I think, on the proper client, the person who actually needs it, who know it'll look good on it's amazing for but it doesn't last long. So they come back a lot for touch-ups.
Speaker 1Yeah, it's always a good kind of introduction into someone who's not really ready for a lip filler yet. Or, like you said, maybe someone who's young and still has a lot of volume and they don't need it. They just don't have as much of that top lip. I top lip, I know when I did mine.
Speaker 2I've done mine maybe three times now and I get really good results. Like yeah.
Speaker 1I was going to say yours looks good Like before and afters, but I hate it.
Speaker 2You hate getting it or the feeling of it.
Speaker 1I hate the feeling of it. It looks so good, like if you need it for like pictures or something like that, and you're like, yeah, my top lip is looking good. Oh my gosh, trying to like eat soup or like drink or do anything I was just going to say.
Speaker 2I always tell clients don't get soup on a date, don't try to eat super cereal and be cute, cause it's not happening.
Speaker 1It's not, and. I felt like talking was exhausting Cause it's like your mouth doesn't want to make certain movements.
Speaker 2Right Drinking through a straw, which we shouldn't be doing anyway but that's a little difficult but hey, it looks great.
Speaker 1So yeah, you know, go get it, um, as a corporate trainer, um, so I know you've you've worked with a lot of different providers. What are some of the I don't know if I want to call them biggest mistakes that you see as new injectors? Um, trying to follow trends Like what are some things that you see working with newer providers? That?
Speaker 2um. So a lot of times, providers will want to please the client, especially if they're new. Maybe they don't feel comfortable, they don't feel like they know exactly what they're talking about. Um, so clients will bring in their TikTok videos and their Instagram reels or their before and afters and show them something that's either like completely unattainable, unrealistic, or, you know, the photos are altered and they'll try to do that for the client because they're asking for it. So it might even be something they don't even know much about. Like, oh, can you put filler? Like here, like in between my you know cheekbone and jawline, just because I saw it done and the pictures look good.
Speaker 2Don't fall into that. Do what you know. Like. You're the expert, you're the one who is trained, not the client. So they're going to come to you with some crazy things and just knowing when to say no is going to be really important, like throughout your career. I know it's really hard because you have those pushy clients who just do it, I don't care. Like, even if it doesn't look good, just try it Like I want it. Don't fall into that. Like, even if it doesn't look good, just try it Like I want it. Don't fall into that.
Speaker 1You need no one to say no basically, have you ever had any weird requests?
Speaker 2I have. I've had somebody ask me to put filler in their forehead, which I know is done. Sometimes we don't do that Filler in their upper arm because they had volume loss there. Filler anywhere, like. I've had crazy requests for filler places. So just know, filler only goes in certain areas. If they're asking for you for some crazy thing, just say no.
Speaker 1I would never think filler in the arms. But hey, I mean, yeah, I'm like, where did you even see that? Where did that idea come from? Right, why? Um, when you said not putting filler in like forehead, what would be the reasons for that?
Speaker 2So the skin is very thin. The muscle's very thin there. You can see it sometimes like it can look wormy up under the skin if it's not properly placed. There's also arteries and vessels and you can go blind if the person doesn't know what they're doing. So it's a pretty risky area and I don't think the risk is worth the reward.
Speaker 1I think most people too when they think of, like, if they see a line there or something that they want filled, it's something that can be corrected with, whether it's neurotoxins or skincare or laser or microneedling, it's something else that can be done besides just putting filler there. Usually, yeah.
Speaker 2Yeah, cause there's like the filler obsessed people who are like fill this, fill that, fill this, fill that, and it's like no, there's other options, like if you have a line in your forehead, let's do some toxin. You know, like you said, microneedling um really good. Skincare laser, that kind of thing. Filler is not the answer to everything. Um, so clients kind of thing. Filler is not the answer to everything, so clients should kind of understand that. But we have to educate them for them to really realize that, because they think you could just fill anything.
Speaker 1And I think, too a lot of times they think exactly where they see the line is where the filler needs to go. So, like what I see the most when talking with clients, especially when you talk about like nasal labial folds, and they'll be like, oh, I want filler here and they'll point to like their nasal labial folds and want it, which sometimes you can do filler there and certain things. But a lot of times I'll hear the providers be like, oh, we should actually like do cheeks and kind of help pull that back to kind of soften those lines. Um, so again, I think it just goes with with educating the clients on why.
Speaker 2Um, but a lot of times, yeah, the thing we you see align anywhere and it's like, oh, put a little bit of filler in there, just fill that in, or you have the opposite, where they'll have the nasolabials and they'll be like put some Botox here and it's like Botox doesn't do that, it doesn't fill, it, just paralyzes your muscle. So clients need a lot of education with that too, because they want to Botox everything too. Botox my job Bot, you know, botox my job. Botox my temples. I'm like no, it doesn't work like that.
Speaker 1We can put Botox in a lot of places, but, yes, sometimes.
Speaker 2Right, and it's not going to fill you in, it's just going to stop that line.
Essential Annual Treatments Worth Investing In
Speaker 1So if you could pick one treatment to invest in every year for yourself, what would you recommend? I already know this answer.
Speaker 2I already know my answer. I'm like anyone who knows me as an injector knows my answer. It's going to be Sculptra. I cannot live without that product. I will do it every year for the rest of my life. That's a good one. Yes, and for those of you who don't know what Sculptra is, it's a biostimulator. It's a polylactic acid. It's not a filler, it's very natural. We inject temples, cheeks and jawline. It builds volume. We call it liquid facelift and it'll kind of pull you up and back.
Speaker 1Very natural, long lasting I think mine would have to be microneedling which is I would say the esthetician version of sculptra, not injecting anything.
Speaker 1but again, it also stimulates your natural collagen and elastin production and I do I recommend a lot of my clients who do microneedling to also do Sculptra. Um, I think they pair really well together. Um, that I think you know. Just the more collagen, the more we can help our body with building collagen, the better off we're going to be, because it slows down as we get older. So the more we can give it, then Right.
Speaker 2We're always losing it, right, so we want to do anything we can give it then, right, we're always losing it, right, so we want to do anything we can to gain it. And I know we talked about skin view before and I wanted to mention micro needling with skin.
Speaker 1weave is like one of my all-time pairs, like I love that when I get them done together it makes such a huge difference and I would recommend that to anyone I think it and this is not speaking on what was studied with it, but in my head thinking to like I almost feel like it helps the skin, just like, heal a little bit better too, because the more hydrated that our skin is, the healthier our skin is. It's going to heal a lot faster too. That was just kind of my take on it. Like I said, it wasn't studied for that, that's nothing that's out there, but I felt like my clients that did it um, they just had a lot faster results I felt like, yeah, and like the textural issues, that, like we're doing skin pen on that, paired with skin weave, is like night and day.
Speaker 1Yeah, it just looks so good after, like the glow that they have is just amazing, yeah it's a good, good little combination like yeah and I think that goes to show too a lot of it's not always just one treatment that's going to give you your results, like it can and a lot of times does take a combination of treatments to really kind of correct the skin and give us the results that we're looking for.
Speaker 2Um, as far as like maintaining too, yeah, no, I agree, because a lot of clients get set on like, just give me a treatment, like what's the one thing I need. And most people I mean we're younger too, like us included we're young, we're young, I'm going to be young forever. But, like, most people need a plan, like they need more than one thing. You know, it's not like just come in and get your one time microneedling and you're good for a year, like no, you're going to need a couple different things. If you have redness, you need this. If it's texture, you need this. If it's volume loss, you need that. So don't be offended as a client when you come in and we have like eight things that we recommend. That's totally normal. We're kind of working from the ground up, like we talked about in the last one there's really not something that's one and done.
Speaker 1I mean, even surgery isn't a one and done. No, yeah, people have had multiple facelifts.
Speaker 2Right. And then they need scar therapy, and then they need all these other things and still need Botox. So yeah. Yeah, nothing is one and done in aesthetics and we're always like learning new things and finding new treatments.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, it's always evolving, there's always something new out there, and that's why I do think talking about some of the trends and stuff because there are trends that come and it's like, oh yeah, this one's great. And then maybe after a couple of years not that it was a bad option, but maybe didn't live up to the hype that you know it was supposed to or that people thought that it would but then there are definitely those tried and true things that are like like Botox People are always going to come in, they're going to want their Botox. It's going to do what it's supposed to do. It's a tried and true. Yeah, be around forever. Yeah, people will not give up their Botox, which is fine, you don't have to.
Speaker 1Yes, I don't want to either. So, being a part of the corporate training team with Kator Med Spa, how would you say that Kator has stayed ahead of the curve when it comes to training and technology?
Speaker 2So we as providers, we go to a lot of conferences, like every year we'll do a few. At the conferences we learn like what's new, what's out there. All these girls also love social media, so they're constantly on there finding new trends and our owners and corporate team are really good about letting us come back with these ideas and these new things and letting us demo them, doing some research, getting proper training on them. So the door's always open. I love that about Couture Anytime you find something new that you want to try conference, we come back, we train everybody on. So we're always trying to stay ahead of it. Devices we're constantly getting emails and information and demos to stay ahead of it. Um. Devices we're constantly getting emails and information and demos Um, so we're always staying at the forefront, trying to do everything that's new and, you know, keeping up with all the the good trends that we like not all the trends.
Speaker 1And I think it's important, like you said, about how, when you find different things, you guys come back and we do. We demo it on our staff and you guys do on each other, on your different providers, because we do want to make sure that it's something that is a good fit to stay in couture and not just a fad that in six months it's going to be like, oh, that probably wasn't the best thing that you know. We tested out for a while and make sure that it is something that we truly believe is going to be impactful for our clients. Agreed.
The Future of Aesthetics at Couture
Speaker 2Just off the top of my head, thinking of one. I remember, do you remember, when we started Microtox? So our first areas of Microtox were not just neck and chest, we actually started in the face as well.
Speaker 1I do remember that you know, I did think about that, I was like we don't really do face much.
Speaker 2No, apparently, the first few people that were done, some people had a little it like kind of seeped into the muscles so it kind of affected their smile. It made them look a little asymmetrical. So we like stopped that right away and we just continued microtoxin that can test, which we had no issues with, but the face was a little learning curve.
Speaker 1But I think that is a true testament to go and show that we test these things out first before we just go and start injecting all of our clients with it. Oh hey, let's use you as a guinea pig. We're the guinea pigs. We try it out first and see what those results are, so we can test that before we start offering it to clients, right?
Speaker 2But yeah, test it, tweak it or throw it away.
Speaker 1Yeah, I'm glad you said that because I actually I had a client the other day, oh, because she was talking about the micro talks before and after pictures that we had up there, and I was like, oh yeah, you can do like the nag, the test, and I was like I think I think I did say like Because I don't yeah one of those like, oh yeah, we haven't actually seen that in a while.
Speaker 2Yeah, good to know. And we were treating cheeks. So I'm like, if we're doing cheeks with Microtox and we're not getting the results we want, skinviva is just going to be better. Yeah, so like we just kind of went to that instead, I think that's a perfect alternative.
Speaker 1Yes, so where do you see the future of Keturah Med Spa treatments heading? Is there any trends out there that you've kind of looked into, that you're curious about or maybe kind of thinking, hey, maybe this could work, maybe not.
Speaker 2One new kind of wave that I see us going with is the health stuff. So we're kind of, you know, doing the NAD plus and we've done the weight loss peptides and so getting into peptides, I think more health conscious, um, body contouring, like we're not just working on faces anymore, we're not just laser and injectables. We're kind of moving towards like a health lifestyle brand, and I like that because I think a lot of med spas do that. We don't want to close our doors on certain treatments that other people are doing. So I like that. We're kind of branching out with that and, um, I mean, we're nurse practitioners, we're about like health, you know. So it kind of I think it's a good direction that we're moving in.
Speaker 1Yeah, I was excited.
Speaker 1Well, I was personally very excited when we started offering the weight loss peptides, for personal reasons.
Speaker 1But you know, I do agree with you that expanding our reach of people, um to where, yeah, the person who maybe would have never looked into getting a Botox or a filler treatment would have never known Couture Med Spa, but they came in because, yeah, we offer body contouring or we offer, um, you know, weight loss, um pept think is really cool to be able to expand.
Speaker 1Who we see, and you know, maybe that person who started on, you know, weight loss gets comfortable with us and they see what else we do and you know, just, you know mention certain things and it's like, oh yeah, we can help you with that too. So there's, you know, we can kind of be there for them for, like you said, all over wellness, whether it's not just skin health but also internal health. And I'm really excited about the NAD injections as well. I had looked into those for a while. I know a couple of people who have been taking them and said that they've seen great improvement in just like their mental clarity and their energy. So I think that's exciting that we are expanding on on that side of the spa as well.
Speaker 2Yeah, I mean, like you said, I agree. I think it's a great way to get people in the door who maybe would have never come in. And it's funny to see those people, even guys, like they'll come in, they'll start the weight loss peptides or NAD or body contouring, and then they're like oh you know, my wife told me I need a little Botox. Like do you guys do that here? And, like you said, they're comfortable with us, they're not embarrassed to ask for it. And then we have a new Botox client. So it really opens the doors to other treatments for clients who maybe would have never even asked about it before.
Speaker 1So I love that. Yeah, it's been good. I'm excited to see what else, what else we expand on.
Speaker 2I mean peptides are blowing up like crazy.
Speaker 1So I follow follow an account on TikTok and she. It's funny when I listen to her like talk about the different names of things and there's like I have, like my Wolverine stack and my CKU 5000. I don't it sounds like a robot that they're talking about, but it's all these different.
Speaker 2I know nothing what you're saying, but okay.
Speaker 1It's all these different peptides and it's, it's wild but it's turning into, but NAD was one of the first ones that I saw them talking about, um, and it's, you know, I think I think there's a lot to still learn in that in that world, and you know we take our time really kind of finding the ones that fit and finding which ones we think are, you know, truly beneficial, but I think, again, just incorporating it into the overall health and wellness of our clients, I think is really cool to see where that's going, I agree.
Speaker 2Yeah, because we're not strictly aesthetics, we're kind of like a lifestyle, like you know our membership, like we have something for everything. So I really do like that.
