Kristine Ricks the "Natural Injector" goes over Tox, PRP, Exosomes, Sculptra and more26 Mar 202500:27:50

Melissa & Katarina go over 2025 Skincare Trends19 Mar 202500:35:50

1. **Skin Boosters**: These treatments are ideal for individuals with dehydrated skin or those needing a boost, especially as we age or experience hormonal changes like menopause. Skin boosters work on superficial layers of the skin, providing hydration and refreshing the skin without permanent effects.

2. **Collagen Stimulation**: Treatments like **Sculptra** and **Radiesse** are emphasized for their ability to stimulate collagen, which helps with skin rejuvenation. Melissa explains that while topicals can assist, they aren't as effective as treatments that reach deeper layers of the skin. Collagen-building injectables and devices (e.g., radiofrequency microneedling) are highlighted as long-term solutions.

3. **Radiofrequency Devices**: Devices using radiofrequency (RF) are gaining traction for their skin-tightening and fat-remodeling effects, with minimal downtime. These treatments work by delivering energy to different skin layers to stimulate collagen production and promote tighter, firmer skin.

4. **Exosomes**: Melissa explains how exosomes, derived from stem cells, can accelerate skin healing, reduce inflammation, and stimulate collagen production. These are used in professional treatments like microneedling for enhanced rejuvenation. Exosomes function as a director, orchestrating cellular activities for regeneration.

5. **Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF)**: A favorite among professionals, PRF (including the "Plated" version Melissa recommends) works by harnessing the body's own stem cells and growth factors to rejuvenate the skin. It’s applied topically or used in treatments like microneedling for a robust anti-aging effect.

6. **Growth Factors**: While similar to exosomes, growth factors are naturally occurring proteins that support cell growth and tissue repair. They’re used to improve skin healing and collagen production and are included in various skincare products and professional treatments.

7. **Aesthetic Education and Safety**: The conversation wraps with Melissa emphasizing the importance of education in the aesthetic space.

Hydrate & Nourish: The Inside-Out Guide to Radiant Skin09 Apr 202500:16:03

Key Takeaways:

✔️ Hydration is essential – Your skin barrier needs moisture to protect against bacteria, UV damage, and stressors.
✔️ Water intake guideline – Aim for half your body weight in ounces daily.
✔️ Dehydration effects – Dryness, fine lines, irritation, and increased sensitivity.
✔️ Hydrating foods – Cucumbers, watermelon, celery, and oranges boost hydration.

Nutrition for Skin Health:

✔️ Gut health impacts skin health – A strong microbiome helps nutrient absorption and detoxification.
✔️ Probiotics matter – My go-to is Seed (linked below).
✔️ Eating order tip for better digestion:

  1. Fruits & veggies 🍓🥦 (digest in 1-2 hours)
  2. Protein 🍗 (digest in 2-3 hours)
  3. Fats 🥑 & carbs 🍞 (take 4+ hours)

Key Vitamins & Foods for Glowing Skin:

✔️ Vitamin C – Great for collagen but wait until acne is clear before using topically.
✔️ Colorful foods = better skin health:

  • Red (cherries, tomatoes) – Antioxidants & anti-aging
  • Green (spinach, broccoli) – Detox & hydration
  • Orange/yellow (sweet potatoes, carrots) – Natural glow & skin protection

Lifestyle Habits for Optimal Hydration & Skin:

✔️ Limit caffeine & alcohol – Both dehydrate the skin.
✔️ Use a humidifier – Helps maintain skin moisture.
✔️ Prioritize quality sleep (7-9 hours) – Crucial for skin repair.
✔️ Manage stress & cortisol levels – Chronic stress = breakouts & dehydration.

Final Thought:

💡 Your skin is a reflection of your internal health! Small daily habits, like drinking enough water, eating the right foods, and supporting gut health, lead to long-term skin transformation.

Hydration Hype: The Truth About Water & Your Skin07 May 202500:19:48

Episode Description:
We’ve all heard it — “Drink more water for better skin!” But is it really that simple? In today’s episode, Katarina Forster, your Master Aesthetician and host of Unwritten Beauty Talks, dives deep into the hydration hype and debunks one of skincare’s most widespread myths: that drinking tons of water alone can fix dehydrated skin.

  • 🧴 Why topical hydration (like humectants + barrier support) matters more than your water bottle
  • 🧠 What causes dehydrated skin — and it’s not always dehydration from lack of water
  • 🍵 How gut health, cortisol levels, and your skin barrier all tie into true hydration
  • 🚰 How much water does matter — and what really changes your skin for the better

Inside the Treatment Room: Microneedling, Exosomes, Lasers & Peels Explained with Kelsey Spector aka myskindealer18 Jun 202500:51:09

Episode Summary:
In this raw and empowering episode of Unwritten Beauty Talks, I sit down with Kelsey, the founder of My Skin Dealer, to demystify some of the most in-demand advanced skincare treatments: RF microneedling, lasers, and chemical peels.

Kelsey is not just a provider—she’s a leader and educator in the aesthetic industry, known for her client-centered approach, passion for education, and commitment to building a community of empowered providers. Together, we discuss the science behind combination therapies, how to build deeper trust with clients, and why consultations and aftercare can make or break a treatment’s success.

We also dive into the emotional side of aesthetics: from grief and healing to self-care and redefining beauty. In one of the most honest conversations yet, I share how losing my mom six months ago has shaped the way I lead, treat, and teach. It’s a conversation about technique—but also about heart, energy, and showing up for yourself and others in all seasons.

What We Cover:
💉 What is RF microneedling really doing—and how customizable is it?
📋 Why consultations are the foundation of every successful treatment
🔬 The science of combination therapy (and how to stack safely)
🧬 The role of exosomes in post-treatment healing
🤝 The importance of trust, emotional connection, and realistic timelines
📚 Kelsey’s approach to training her staff and building an online education platform
💬 Why client follow-ups matter more than you think
💫 Redefining beauty as aura—not appearance
💛 The emotional labor of being a provider—and why self-care is non-negotiable
👯‍♀️ Building a team and a community that uplifts, supports, and grows together

Key Takeaways:

  • Every treatment plan should be as unique as the client receiving it
  • RF microneedling is incredibly versatile and best when tailored
  • Proper aftercare is essential for healing and avoiding complications
  • Exosomes can enhance recovery and reduce downtime
  • Training your staff ensures consistency and longevity in your business
  • Educated clients get better results and stay loyal longer
  • Success in aesthetics isn’t just about outcomes—it’s about connection
  • Self-care is not a luxury for providers, it’s a requirement
  • Empathy is a superpower in this industry
  • Community over competition—always

Results-Driven or Just Trending? Cutting Through the Skincare Noise with Melissa Rossi Laser Specialist & Esthetician 11 Jun 202500:54:31

In this episode, Katarina sits down with friend and fellow aesthetician Melissa Rossi to dig into the world of skincare trends vs. results-driven treatments. With over 20 years in the aesthetics industry, Melissa shares her experience moving from day spas to medical aesthetics to finally launching her own studio in Ontario, Canada. Together, they unpack the rise of skincare influencers, TikTok trends, and social media hype — and how these can mislead clients away from true skin health.  Topics Covered:

  • Melissa’s 20+ year skincare journey: from spas to surgery centers to solo studio
  • Why she finally went solo and the birth of In Skin Studio
  • The problem with comparing influencer advice vs. aesthetician expertise
  • Why credentials and experience matter in skin health
  • The truth about popular skincare trends:
    • Face taping vs. Botox: does it actually work?
    • The beef tallow craze: is it the new coconut oil for your face?
    • At-home microneedling: what you need to know about safety and results
    • The power of personalization in skincare treatments
    • Clinical data, ingredient integrity, and real results vs. aesthetics and branding
    • How estheticians build skin protocols from experience, not viral content

Key Takeaways:

  • Not all skincare advice is created equal. Just because something worked for one influencer doesn't mean it works for your skin.
  • Many trends, like face taping or beef tallow, may feel satisfying but lack long-term clinical support — and can do more harm than good.
  • Professional treatments like microneedling, chemical peels, and customized skincare protocols offer proven results.
  • A great esthetician doesn’t just look at your skin — they consider your health, habits, and goals to build a plan just for you.
