Look in the mirror right now. Are your dark circles Blue or Brown? 🧐
Most people treat "genetic" dark circles with brightening creams designed for brown pigment (melanin).
But if your circles are actually BLUE or PURPLE (vascular), those creams are useless. You are trying to bleach a vein. It’s physically impossible.
In this week’s video, I’m breaking down the specific laser protocol for Genetic Blue Veins (hint: it’s not the same laser used for sun spots).

You spent thousands on surgery. Don't ruin it with mascara. 🛑
One of the hardest parts of recovering from an upper blepharoplasty isn't the pain—it's the patience.
I see so many patients try to rush back into their makeup routine, but applying product over a fresh incision line is a recipe for infection and bad scarring.
In this week's video, I’m laying down the law on the "1-Month Rule."
Protect your investment and watch the full recovery timeline here.

I dissolved my under-eye filler at 48. Here is why. 👇
For a long time, I thought filler was the answer to my "tired" eyes. And honestly? It looked great... for the first year.
But then, the "Water Balloon Effect" started happening. My eyes looked smaller. They looked puffy in the morning. I didn't look like me anymore.
So, I made the decision to dissolve it all.
If you’ve been feeling "puffy" or "overfilled," you need to watch this.

STOP 🛑 Before you book a Pico Laser treatment for your under-eyes, you need to read this.
Marketing will tell you it’s the "holy grail" for dark circles. Anatomy tells a different story.
In my latest video, I explain:
❌ Why I rarely use Pico for the under-eyes.
✅ The difference between Vascular (Blue) vs. Pigment (Brown) circles.
🏆 The "Desert Island" laser I used to fix my own eyes in my 30s.
Watch now the full, non-sponsored breakdown. 🔗

You guys know I start my day at 5 AM in the gym. 🏋️♀️ Not just for my body, but because building muscle is one of the best things you can do for anti-aging and keeping cortisol (stress) down!

It is officially LASER SEASON! ❄️⚡️
Since the sun is less intense, this is the perfect time for heavy-hitting resurfacing treatments like CO2 or Fraxel.
If you are planning a big treatment this winter, what is your biggest fear holding you back?

Let’s be honest about "Filler Fatigue." 💉
I recently shared my story about dissolving my under-eye filler because it started to look puffy and unnatural over time. It was the best decision I made!
Have you ever dissolved filler? Or are you scared to take the plunge?
