Plastic Surgery Uncensored

In an industry constantly promoting the newest device or technology, why has microneedling remained a cornerstone of skin rejuvenation?
In this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rady Rahban is joined by aesthetic nurse Charlene for part four of their five-part series examining today's most popular nonsurgical aesthetic treatments.
Together, they explore the science behind microneedling, how controlled collagen stimulation can improve skin texture, tone, fine lines, acne scars, and overall skin quality, and why this relatively simple treatment continues to earn the confidence of experienced providers despite the constant introduction of newer technologies.
Dr. Rahban and Charlene also discuss the differences between microneedling devices, why the quality of the equipment and technique matter, the role of PRP, PRF, hyaluronic acid, and other skin boosters, what to expect during recovery, and the importance of proper post-treatment care to maximize both safety and results.
This episode isn't about chasing the latest trend or claiming that one treatment can solve every skin concern. It's about understanding why microneedling has remained a foundational treatment in aesthetic medicine—and why, for many patients, it represents one of the safest, most effective long-term investments in healthier, more resilient skin.

What does it actually mean when a med spa says it offers “laser treatments”? The answer is far more complicated than most patients realize.
In this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored, Dr. Rady Rahban is joined once again by Charlene, RN, for part three of their series examining the increasingly popular and often misunderstood world of nonsurgical aesthetic treatments. T
ogether, Dr. Rahban and Charlene break down technologies including BBL, IPL, erbium resurfacing, and HALO, while exploring one of the most important issues in laser medicine: treating darker skin tones safely. They also discuss the relationship between downtime and results, why more aggressive treatments are not always appropriate for every patient, and how improper settings or inadequate pre- and post-treatment skincare can lead to burns, worsening pigmentation, and disappointing outcomes.
This episode is not about promoting one laser or claiming that a single device can do it all. In fact, that is precisely the point. The right technology must be matched to the right problem, the right skin type, and the right patient.

Facial fillers have transformed aesthetic medicine—but they've also become one of its most controversial treatments. From "pillow face" to overfilled lips and viral celebrity reversals, it's no surprise that many patients are questioning whether fillers are still the right choice.
In this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rady Rahban is joined by Charlene, RN, for a comprehensive discussion on facial fillers. Together, they explain the different types of fillers available, why hyaluronic acid fillers remain the gold standard, and how the right product, technique, and injector can make all the difference.
The conversation explores where fillers can produce beautiful, natural results—including the cheeks and temples—as well as areas that require greater caution, such as the under-eyes, lips, jawline, chin, nose, and nasolabial folds. Dr. Rahban also discusses why so many patients have developed an unnatural appearance over the past decade, when filler should be dissolved, and how to recognize when surgery, not more filler, is the better solution.
Whether you're considering filler for the first time or trying to understand the growing backlash against it, this episode offers an honest, evidence-based guide to using fillers safely, conservatively, and appropriately.

With so many neuromodulators on the market, it's easy to assume the product is what determines the outcome. In reality, that's only part of the story.
In this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rady Rahban is joined by aesthetic nurse Charlene for a comprehensive discussion on Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Daxxify, and the growing world of neuromodulators. Together, they explain how these products work, what distinguishes them from one another, and why the skill and judgment of the injector often have a far greater impact than the name on the vial.
From forehead lines and crow's feet to masseters, gummy smiles, neck bands, and lip flips, this conversation explores the most common treatment areas while separating evidence-based medicine from today's aesthetic trends.
If you've ever considered Botox—or simply want to better understand what these treatments can and can't do—this episode is an honest, practical guide to achieving natural, balanced results through a conservative approach.
