  2. Perimenopause, Estrogen Decline & Skin Aging Explained with Nurse Niki

    Perimenopause, Estrogen Decline & Skin Aging Explained with Nurse Niki

    Most women don't connect what's happening to their skin with what's happening to their hormones but they should. In this episode of The Beauty Vault Podcast, host Marie Matteucci sits down with Nurse Niki Capobianco, a board-certified nurse practitioner specializing in hormone health, functional medicine, aesthetics, and women's wellness, for one of the most honest and clinically grounded conversations about perimenopause and aging that we've had on this show. Nurse Niki breaks down exactly why estrogen decline drives jowling, skin laxity and dryness and why waiting until your period stops to address it is too late. She explains the often-overlooked role of progesterone, why so many women in their 30s and 40s are suddenly experiencing jawline acne they never had as teenagers, and what the connection between oral birth control and hormonal chaos really looks like when women come off the pill. From bio-stimulant injectables like Radiesse and Sculptra, to laser treatments like HALO and Broadband Light (including a 10-year clinical study with results that are hard to believe), to medical-grade skincare, to mobile IV therapy. Nurse Niki walks through the full-spectrum approach she uses with her patients at The Look Med Spa in Las Vegas. She also shares the story of a patient who came in for a lip treatment and left six months later with reversed pre-diabetes markers, improved cholesterol and a visceral fat index cut nearly in half.

    She Became the Professional She Couldn't Find-Sarit Shoshani on Melasma

    Sarit Shoshani spent over two decades struggling with melasma before becoming the expert she could never find. As an advanced aesthetician and Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, Sarit's approach goes far beyond the surface — she investigates the internal triggers driving pigmentation including stress, toxicity overload, nutrient deficiencies, heat exposure, and synthetic fragrances that act as hormonal disruptors.
