Happy Friday, beauties! I often get questions about lip filler, the side effects, and what to do when it goes wrong. On this week's Five Minute Friday, I'm joined by celebrity makeup artist, Bryan Mendez, and influencers, Alex Dry, and Sophia Cerrito. These three beauties happen to be friends and bumped into each other at my office! One of my favorite things about social media is the way that it can bring people together. We talk about lip filler and I answer some questions about this popular procedure. Lip filler can be scary for someone that hasn't tried injectables or has had a bad experience and we're here to clear up the negative stigma around it!

Happy Friday, beauties! On this week’s Five Minute Friday, I talk to you all about the jowls. One of the first signs of aging can be credited to the jowls. This is an area of fat on both side of the chin that can begin to droop or sag as we begin to age. In my practice, I’ve come up with some fabulous, innovative ways to minimize the appearance of aging that is caused by jowling. On this episode, I talk to you about some of the interesting ways that we can tackle jowling but non-surgically and surgically. Jowls can begin to appear at almost any age, and I love helping patients understand signs of aging early on to help prevent it. If you’re looking for a way to combat signs of aging, diminish your jowls, or sharpen that jawline, come see me! I’d love to help you look and feel your absolute best!  Find me on Instagram here!

Happy Friday, Beauty Byters! On this week's Five Minute Friday, I tell you everything you need to know about Accutane and acne skincare. Accutane has become an increasingly popular treatment for acne recently. But it is a strong prescription drug medication that has many side effects and risks. While it is effective at targeting acne, it's worthwhile to explore other, less extreme options first. In this podcast, I talk about the top 3 things you should try before starting Accutane. First, make sure you're using an acne wash with effective ingredients. Next, use Vitamin C to improve your skin's texture and tone. Lastly, make sure your skin is well hydrated with a noncomedogenic moisturizer. If you do decide to take Accutane, good skincare is still important. One of the side effects of Accutane is very dry, flaky skin so be sure to still follow these 3 steps in conjunction with your treatment. Find me on Instagram here! Shop the KD Acne Kit here!
