Back to EpisodesProvider Arrests | What’s Driving the Letybo ‘Korean Botox’ Trend – Dr. Judith Borger, Aesthetic Physician | EP 89
Description
What if the person about to inject your face isn't licensed to touch you at all?
It's not a worst-case scenario anymore. It's a pattern. Providers are getting arrested across the country, and the patients sitting in those chairs had no idea. The websites looked polished. The staff seemed professional. Nothing felt off until it was.
Dr. Kate Dee sits down with Dr. Judith Borger, a physician with over a decade in aesthetic medicine, to break down exactly what's driving this wave of arrests.
They also cut through the hype on the K-beauty version of Botox - Letybo. The Korean neurotoxin everyone's suddenly talking about. Is it worth it? Dr. Kate Dee goes straight to the science, and the answer might surprise you.
