  • Yes to the MedSpa Board & safer regulations to protect patients

    Dr. Dee is clearly ruffling feathers that need to be exposed, hence some upset review trolls, likely illegal Medspa operators she’s exposed! Thankfully Dr. Dee covers these Groupon scammers and dangerous medispa operators! MedSpa certifications help, and we need tighter regulations to keep us (patients) safe from unlicensed, untrained and shady medspa practices that have cost lives! Thank you, Dr. Dee! 💪💯⚕️

  • Misinforming the public

    She criticized nurse practitioners and questioned their ability to practice to the full extent of their scope. Nurse practitioners are board certified and highly trained in anatomy, physiology, chemistry, and advanced medical didactic education. While their training pathway differs from that of physicians, that does not diminish their qualifications or their ability to provide safe, evidence-based, high-quality patient care.

    There also appears to be a misunderstanding about the term “doctor.” D... more

  • Spreads misinformation about health care providers

    Unfortunately Dr. Dee is spreading misinformation about the advanced practice nursing role. She should be doing her research before inaccurately discussing the curriculum an nurse practitioner completes as a part of their training, not to mention the upwards of 1,000 advanced practice clinical hours they complete on top of their years of training as an RN and at the bedside. Nurse practitioners are indeed board certified; they are unable to obtain an advanced practice nursing license without ear... more

  • Full practice authority nurse practitioner

    The owners public platform is quite discouraging for many healthcare professional. Dr Des’s podcast, Med Spa confidential, often feels less like a guide to “safety” and more like a targeted critique of nurse practitioners (NPs). She frequently suggests that NPs should not practice or perform med spa procedures independently, despite many states legally granting them full practice authority to do exactly that.

  • Dermatologist-recommended!

    As a physician, I really appreciate Dr. Dee’s focus on holistic wellness and prevention. Too often, educating and empowering patients is overlooked within the field of medicine; the frank and honest conversation conversations between Dr. Dee and her guests serve as a resource for individuals seeking evidence-based information.

Awake facelifts introduce risks from sedation levels and local anesthetic use; inadequate monitoring and dosing can lead to airway emergencies and even death, which is why proper anesthesia monitoring and dedicated surgical settings are essential.
Is Your Surgeon FAKING Deep Plane Facelift? (Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon Explains) - Dr. William Harris | EP 99
Q: Walk us through technically what separates your extended deep plane facelift from a standard deep plane, and then from the techniques that get marketed as deep plane, but really anatomically aren't.
Dr. Harris explains that extended deep plane involves releasing more tether points and elevating tissue farther to achieve a natural lift, whereas some marketed 'deep plane' procedures may only lift at the edge without releasing key ligaments, leading to less harmonious results.
