277: Benefits of Red Light Therapy With Dr. Mike Belkowski
Hi Beauties!
On this week’s episode of Beauty Bytes with Dr. Kay: Secrets of a Plastic Surgeon, I am excited to be joined with Dr. Michael Belkowski, founder of Biolight, to discuss the benefits of red light therapy. Michael has his own physical therapy practice in Montana where he specializes in a variety of treatments. Similar to his specialty of Dry Needling, he came across Red Light Therapy which focuses on reducing inflammation and improving circulation. Most importantly, we discuss how it stimulates our mitochondria, which determines our overall health and longevity. He created Biolight because he wanted to make a product that was more affordable and still good quality compared to the other products that are already out there. Benefits of Red Light Therapy include hair health, skin health, athletic performance, brain/nerve health, anxiety and depression reduction, bone & joint pain & much more!

274: Five Minute Friday: Picking Lip Filler To Fit Your Aesthetic
Happy Friday, Beauty Byters!
In this week’s Five Minute Friday, I am joined by my patient Samantha who is the co-founder of Links Financial! We talk about starting small with filler because you want people to take you seriously, to pick lips that fit your branding- but to not get tied to a stereotype. Samantha believes that looking more powerful and attractive can make her feel even more confident in the boardroom, and at the end of the day who doesn't appreciate a pretty business woman. However, I believe is a fine line between sexy and porn star and lately I have been talking people down from getting too much lip filler. Listen in to hear our conversation about lip filler!
