She Dissolved Her Filler and It Collapsed Half Her Face. Now She Won't Touch Them

About this episode

Iman Hasan interviews Rebecca Treston about her innovative layered laser treatments and the implications of fillers on skin health.

We get into how the layering method works and why a single laser can never fully address what is happening in your skin, the Stanford BBL study that showed a laser can actually reverse gene expression in aging skin, why she avoids fillers and what happened when a dissolving treatment collapsed one side of her own face, why she stopped doing HIFU and what the long term consequences are of overdoing it, how hormones like testosterone and estrogen show up directly on your skin, what she thinks about the Korea laser trend and why it has no real strategy behind it, the difference between melasma and hyperpigmentation and how to treat each, why she starts patients on collagen banking in their mid 20s, and why she fasted for two weeks straight…
