TikTok Skincare Disasters: What's Safe & What Lands You in the ER with Dermatologist Dr. Angela Casey | EP 78

What if that viral beauty hack you saw on TikTok is actually damaging your face?

Dr. Kate Dee sits down with board-certified dermatologist Dr. Angela Casey to expose the truth about at-home aesthetic treatments that are flooding the market. They're seeing something alarming in their clinics, and it's getting worse.

Think you can spot the difference between a harmless beauty trend and a trip to the ER? Dr. Casey shares what happens when patients try to recreate professional procedures at home, and the results are not pretty.
