In this episode of Wellness Rewind, Amy Beard, MD, gets real about med spas and the booming world of aesthetic treatments, taking a deeper look beyond the surface. From fillers and injectables to laser therapies and microneedling, she dives into the potential hidden risks these popular treatments pose for your immune system and overall health.
