Let’s try to get our heads around peptides. What exactly are they, why is everyone suddenly talking about them, which ones actually have legitimate science behind them, what are the safety concerns, and perhaps most importantly — how should people go about getting them safely?
To help us make sense of the peptide craze, Drew sits down with Lovely Laban, founder and medical director of Skin by Lovely. Lovely has spent more than 20 years in medical aesthetics and built Skin by Lovely into a multi-location practice known for its focus on education, safety and natural-looking results.
But Lovely’s story starts long before Botox, injectables and the world of aesthetic medicine. Raised in a progressive Pacific Northwest community centered around natural living, she grew up watching her mother care for others as the community nurse. That experience helped put her on the path toward nursing, gerontology and eventually founding Skin by Lovely in 2009.
So what is driving the huge push toward peptides, longevity and regenerative medicine? Are peptides the next big thing in healthy aging, or has the internet gotten way ahead of the science? And how can the average person separate legitimate medical treatment from the latest wellness trend?
Lovely helps us break it all down — what peptides are, what they may actually do, what questions you should be asking, and how to approach this rapidly evolving world safely.
It’s a fascinating conversation about aging, longevity, beauty, wellness and the science behind the latest health trend everyone seems to be talking about.
