In the digital age, how are social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok reshaping our perceptions of beauty? Are teens harming their skin by using anti-ageing products too early? What role do social media trends play in driving the demand for cosmetic enhancements?
In this episode, we explore the rapidly shifting landscape of cosmetic enhancements with Dr. Diana Ponsky, a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon. Dr. Ponsky shares her expertise on the importance of proper skincare for teenagers, the impact of rapid weight loss on skin health, and how the desire for natural-looking results is influencing modern plastic surgery.
Key Takeaways:
Teen Skincare Essentials: Teens should focus on basic skincare routines—cleaning, hydration, and sun protection. Overuse of advanced anti-ageing products can damage young skin.
Guiding Teen Skincare Choices: Parents play a crucial role in helping their teens make informed skincare decisions. Consulting with dermatologists or skincare experts is essential.
Social Media's Role: Platforms like Instagram and TikTok significantly influence beauty standards and cosmetic trends. While they can educate and inspire, they can also mislead and create unrealistic expectations.
Advancements in Aesthetic Medicine: The latest innovations in combining surgical and non-surgical treatments, such as exosomes and face tightening devices, are reducing downtime and enhancing natural-looking results.

Ever wonder how AI applies in Skincare?
Welcome to another episode of the Dermhealth.co Podcast! Today, Marni sits down with Isabella Loneragan, founder and owner of Isabella Loneragan Skin and Ragan Skin.
Isabella is a skincare industry expert with almost two decades of experience in dermatology and cosmeceuticals. She runs a private clinic in Bowral, NSW, and takes bookings in Sydney by demand. Isabella is known for her intuitive facial treatments, especially her trademarked master treatments, The Intrinsic Facial and The Intrinsic Illumination Infusion. She also founded the Ragan Skin product line and offers educational courses on facial massage mastery. Isabella regularly appears on Ch7 Sunrise and has been featured in Harper’s Bazaar, Body+Soul, and Vogue Australia.
In this episode, Isabella shares her journey into skincare, how AI connects with skincare, integrating psychological and mental health aspects into her treatments, and the importance of addressing clients' holistic well-being.
Key Takeaways:
AI’s Role in Skincare: AI technology is growing in both medical and cosmetic skincare. While useful for initial diagnostics and product recommendations, it cannot replace the expert care of a skilled dermatologist or therapist.
Holistic Approach: Integrating psychological and mental health aspects into skincare treatments is crucial. Isabella emphasises that how clients feel about their skin significantly affects their overall skin health.
Consumer Education: Better education around skincare products and treatments is needed. Many misconceptions, such as relying solely on AI diagnostics or using makeup with inadequate SPF, can lead to poor skin health decisions.
Social Media Influence: Social media profoundly impacts perceptions of skin health and beauty. Isabella discusses the negative effects of filters and unrealistic beauty standards and suggests ways to promote skin positivity and realistic expectations.
Ethical Skincare Practices: Ethical practices in skincare are vital, including avoiding harmful additives and promoting genuinely beneficial products. Isabella highlights the dangers of over-reliance on products marketed with active ingredients, especially for teenagers.
