If you've ever sat in a consultation room wondering what the difference is between all those laser machines — this episode is for you. Dr. Judith Borger, board-certified physician and medical director of Concierge Medical Arts, breaks down energy-based devices by skin concern, so you can walk in informed and walk out glowing.

Pigmentation & Uneven Skin Tone Sun spots, age spots, melasma, and dullness — Dr. Borger explains how IPL targets melanin, what "peppering" means and why it's actually a good sign, and how the Light & Bright treatment handles pigmentation and redness in one session.

Vascular Concerns — Redness, Rosacea & Veins Not all redness is the same. Dr. Borger walks through the difference between treating diffuse rosacea versus visible facial and leg veins, and which devices reach which vessels.

Skin Resurfacing — Texture, Pores, Scars & Fine Lines If your goal is smoother, clearer skin, this is your segment. Dr. Borger covers fractional laser resurfacing, thermo-mechanical treatments, and why traditional microneedling still earns its place in a comprehensive treatment plan.

Skin Tightening & Lifting Loose skin, loss of firmness, jowling, crepey necks — Dr. Borger explains the difference between surface-level and deep-tissue tightening, including treatments that reach the same foundational layer targeted in surgical facelifts.

Laser Hair Removal The Lutronic Clarity II's dual-wavelength system makes it safe for all skin types — and why most patients call it virtually painless.

Yes, you read that right. Salmon sperm. And your face. In this episode, Dr. Judith Borger cuts through the viral buzz around PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide) — the regenerative treatment taking the aesthetic world by storm — and gives you the real science, the honest FDA truth, and the safety information that nobody else is talking about.

• PDRN is derived from purified salmon DNA — extensively processed, not raw salmon sperm
• It works by triggering cellular repair and supplying building blocks for collagen and elastin
• Results are gradual and cumulative — this is not a filler
• Topical PDRN = low risk in the US. Injectable PDRN = not FDA-approved for cosmetic use
• Anyone with a history of cancer should consult their oncologist before any PDRN treatment
• Ask about product sourcing, application method, provider training, and realistic timelines

What if creativity isn’t something you do, but something you live?

In this episode, Dr. Judith Borger and Dr. Lara Salyer explore creativity as a state of being rather than a talent or task. They discuss how creativity supports the nervous system, restores vitality, and acts as a powerful antidote to burnout—especially in high-achieving, high-responsibility lives.

Blending science, lived experience, and practical insight, this conversation reframes creativity as essential medicine. You’ll learn why small, everyday creative acts matter, how creativity reconnects us to meaning and joy, and simple ways to access creative energy in your daily life—no artistic identity required.

Dr. Lara Salyer, DO, IFMCP, is a functional medicine physician, author, and creativity catalyst who helps high-achieving women reconnect with their bodies, intuition, and creative power. After experiencing burnout in conventional medicine, she reimagined healing through the lens of flow neuroscience, nervous system regulation, and creative expression. She received additional training from the Flow Research Collective and is a student of core shamanism. She is the author of Right Brain Rescue, a memoir exploring how creativity and self-permission can transform burnout into vitality. Today, Dr. Lara runs a holistic membership practice, mentors women clinicians, and speaks internationally on creativity as a vital, teachable state of wellbeing. She is faculty at School of Applied Functional Medicine. Her work blends science, somatics, and soulful play—reminding people that regulation doesn’t have to be rigid, and healing doesn’t have to be heavy.
