“Ozempic face” is one of the most talked-about side effects of rapid weight loss from GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro—but what actually causes it, and can it be treated? In this episode of Medspa Confidential, Dr. Kate Dee breaks down the science behind facial volume loss, why it happens with significant weight loss, and the real solutions that work. From Sculptra and dermal fillers to RF microneedling and skin tightening, this guide covers what to expect, what’s worth your money, and how to restore a natural, refreshed appearance—without falling for myths or ineffective treatments.
Is Letybo, often dubbed “Korean Botox,” actually better than traditional neurotoxins—or is the hype mostly social media marketing? In this episode of Med Spa Confidential, we sit down with Dr. Judith Borger, a physician with more than a decade of experience in aesthetic medicine and one of the newest Med Spa Board–certified providers in North Carolina. Together we break down the science behind Letybo, how it compares to Botox-style neurotoxins, and why faster onset claims may be real—but longer-lasting results are still up for debate. We also explore the hidden industry factors that influence what injectables providers offer, including manufacturer loyalty programs and social media trends. If you’re considering injectables, this conversation will help you ask smarter questions, understand what’s actually in the syringe, and choose a provider who prioritizes science and safety over hype.
What if the person injecting you had no license, no training, and no idea what was in the syringe? Dr. Kate Dee breaks down a disturbing Florida arrest involving a woman running a cosmetic clinic from her home and charging thousands for so-called professional treatments.

To put a human face on the risk, Dr. Dee speaks with past guest Bea Amma, who survived a nearly identical experience in 2021. Five years later, Bea shares a raw update on her ongoing recovery — from months in the hospital to years of IV antibiotics and multiple surgeries. This isn’t just news. For Bea, it’s still deeply personal.
