In this episode of "Too Young To Be Old," Diane Gilman, the queen of jeans, welcomes Rachel Varga, a double board-certified Aesthetic Nurse Specialist. Rachel is known for her expertise in rejuvenation and biohacking, helping people become their best selves through advanced skincare and rejuvenation techniques.

Diane kicks off the conversation by asking Rachel about the foundational aspects of rejuvenation. Rachel explains that rejuvenation involves addressing common skin issues such as sun damage, fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of volume. She emphasizes the importance of a good customized skincare routine as the first step, including dermal rolling to stimulate collagen production.

The discussion moves to non-surgical rejuvenation options like lasers, neuromodulators, and fillers. Rachel explains the various uses of these treatments, such as using neuromodulators in the jawline and fillers in the temples to restore volume. Diane shares her experiences with Botox and laser treatments, highlighting the different approaches and benefits.

Rachel shares her insights on at-home red light therapy, a popular biohacking technique. She prefers larger panels over masks for more effective treatment and emphasizes the importance of using third-party tested products. Diane and Rachel discuss the benefits of red light therapy for skin health, including mitochondrial support.

The conversation turns to chemical peels and their role in skin rejuvenation. Rachel explains that while chemical peels can be effective, it's crucial to stabilize the skin barrier with a good at-home routine first. She also discusses the potential downsides of chemical peels and the importance of using them as part of a multifaceted approach to skincare.

Diane and Rachel delve into the importance of organic skincare and diet in maintaining healthy skin. Rachel advocates for using as many organic products as possible and highlights the role of nutrition in skin health. They discuss the impact of processed foods and the benefits of a diet rich in collagen and essential minerals.

The episode wraps up with a discussion on the price points of skincare products. Rachel explains that a higher price doesn't always mean better quality. Instead, it's essential to choose products with the right actives for individual skin needs. Diane shares her personal preferences and experiences with different skincare brands.
