We're checking in after our first few months of Dewstate and sharing all the exciting things we've been working on! From our grand opening celebration and recent trainings to summer treatment favorites, birthday debates, and a very exciting fall announcement, we're catching you up on everything happening behind the scenes. Thank you to everyone who's supported us, cheered us on, and trusted us along the way. We couldn't do this without you. Follow along for updates, upcoming events, and all the fun things coming next at Dewstate!

In this episode, we tackle the hard truths nobody wants to hear about aesthetics. From why injectables won't fix bad skin and why more filler isn't always the answer, to the dangers of price shopping and the importance of finding an injector who knows when to say "no," they're serving up some tough love. 

We dive into common misconceptions, social media beauty standards, treatment timing, and how consistency, not quick fixes, creates the best results. If you're ready for some honest aesthetic advice (and maybe a few hurt feelings), this episode is for you.

Filler or biostimulator: which one should you choose? In this episode, we unpack the pros, cons, myths, and misconceptions surrounding today’s most popular injectable treatments. We discuss hyaluronic acid fillers, Sculptra, Radiesse, reversibility, collagen stimulation, facelift myths, and why great injectables should enhance your features without looking obvious.

From patient fears to injector education, this conversation is an honest look at what actually matters when it comes to aesthetic treatments. If you’ve ever been confused by online opinions about filler or wondered whether biostimulators are truly more “natural,” this episode is for you.

In this episode, we’re getting into the skincare habits that actually matter during the summer months. From debunking retinoid myths to discussing SPF makeup, hydration, and protecting your skin barrier, this is your guide to glowing skin without overcomplicating your routine.

Expect practical skincare advice, honest conversations, and plenty of tips for balancing beauty, sun exposure, and summer fun.

In this episode, we break down the morning routines that keep us grounded, even in chaotic seasons. From workouts and wellness habits to mindset and discipline, we share what’s actually working for us (and what’s not).
We also get real about the balance between consistency and
flexibility, and how to build habits that stick without being overly rigid. If you’re looking to create a routine that helps you show up better every day, this one’s for you.

In this episode, we break down the future of aesthetics: treatment stacking. You'll learn how combining treatments like Botox, microneedling, lasers, and injectables can deliver faster, more effective, and longer-lasting results all from one single session.
If you’re looking to maximize your time and your glow, this episode is a must-listen.

In this episode, we’re chatting with our dear friend, Logan Redding, who is the owner and founder of The Society, a boutique fitness studio here in Tallahassee 
We get into how she built her business from the ground up (literally starting with pop-ups), what it really looks like behind the scenes of running a busy fitness studio, and why community always comes before anything else. From balancing life as a mom of two little girls to creating a space that feels welcoming instead of intimidating.
We also talk about confidence, social media, boundaries, and why sometimes you just have to figure it out as you go.

After six months of waiting, zero income since January (yep), and a whole lot of hustle, we’re finally back! We’re spilling everything: quitting our jobs, navigating legal drama, and building the aesthetics clinic we’ve dreamed about for years.

In this episode, we finally share more about what we are building and how we are redefining medical aesthetics in Tallahassee. We share the vision behind Dewstate Medical Aesthetics and why education and personalized care are at the core of everything we do. We’re creating a space that feels as good as your results will look, and we can’t wait to see you there!

We talk Botox timelines, skincare priorities, lasers, collagen stimulators, filler, and how to build a long-term plan that actually makes sense, without getting overwhelmed by TikTok trends and “latest-and-greatest” treatments.

Whether you’re just starting out or you feel like you’re playing catch-up, this episode is your guide to what’s worth prioritizing at every stage of life. Aging is inevitable, but doing it confidently is a choice.

In this episode, we break down what’s in and out in aesthetics, skincare, injectables, and lifestyle habits for the year ahead.
