In this episode of More Than A Pretty Face, Dr. Azi and Nurse Lacie reflect on the biggest beauty, skincare, and wellness trends of 2025 and decide which ones should be left behind. From wellness becoming the new status symbol to the rise (and risks) of injectable peptides, skin boosters, and longevity treatments, they break down what's exciting, what's overhyped, and what truly works.
The conversation also dives into intentional skincare, regenerative treatments like PRP, exosomes, and PDRN (salmon DNA), and why proper cosmetic evaluation matters more than ever. The episode wraps with a candid discussion on extreme aesthetics, filler fear, and embracing individuality in 2026.
