Melissa & Katarina go over 2025 Skincare Trends
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.
