The Beauty Industry Doesn't Tell You This | Dr. Maya Shahsavari

Can aesthetic treatments really help you age better, or are we focusing on the wrong things?

In this episode of the WellSome Podcast, facial plastic surgeon and aesthetic doctor Dr. Maya Shahsavari shares an honest, evidence-based conversation about cosmetic treatments, healthy aging, and the biggest misconceptions surrounding the aesthetics industry. Rather than chasing perfection, she explains why the best aesthetic results start with understanding how you want to feel, not simply treating wrinkles.

Dr. Maya breaks down the truth about Botox, dermal fillers, collagen stimulation, skin aging, facial harmony, and cosmetic procedures, while also revealing which treatments are worth considering, which are often overused, and why choosing the right injector is one of the most important decisions you can make.

She also explains why nose fillers can be one of the riskiest aesthetic procedures and the safety measures every patient should know before undergoing treatment.

Beyond injectables, the conversation explores the foundations of healthy skin and longevity. From SPF, sleep, nutrition, water quality, and lifestyle habits to the role of prevention over correction, Dr. Maya explains why no cosmetic procedure can replace a healthy body and a well-functioning skin barrier.
