Through Thick And Skin: The Podcast

Growth factors are having a MOMENT in medical aesthetics, and if you're not familiar with this one yet, our resident skin expert Erin Jensen, PA-C is about to change that.
In this episode, Erin breaks down the difference between PRP, PRFM, and PDGF (so many letters, we know 😂) and why it actually matters for your skin, your hair, and your results.
We're getting into: ✨ What PDGF actually is and why it's a game changer for microneedling 🩸 Why you might choose a blood draw over a stable, lab-made growth factor 💉 ALSO Megan's current Bridal Prep plan, because she is not PLAYING when it comes to preparing for her big day!
This one is packed. Erin makes it make sense so you don't have to Google it at 2am.

If you didn't hear by now, there has been a skanless talk about town here in the Inland Empire. A guy who calls himself the 'Lip King' has gotten called out for allegedly misleading his clients with what he is injecting in their lips.
What does Erin, the Injectable Kween (Yep, Megan said it) have to say about this? First of all, she doesn't call herself the Queen of anything, except for keeping it 100.
We also touch on the history of filler (she's been in the game since 2007), what actually goes into ethical injectable practice, Sculptra, SkinVive and Skin Tightening, Harmonicas, and Pay Piggies (OH MY!)

Honestly? We missed you. After 4 years away, your favorite skin sisters are back on the mic for Through Thick and Skin: The Podcast. Same real talk on skincare and injectables, but with VERY personal updates (relationship status changes and all). Same desire to make you learn while laughing. We're just getting started again!

We missed you… so just like Lil' Kim said, we're back with the jump off! Erin and Megan recorded this episode live at The Treatment Facial Bar in Claremont on July 17, 2025. We covered it all: salmon sperm facials, the downfall of QWO cellulite injections, the latest in laser treatments, and a sneak peek at SkinCeuticals’ not-yet-released A.G.E. Serum, aka “support hose for your face.” Our Esti Bestie, Nikko Alaniz, joined us for the ride. Tune in for laughs and skincare talk you didn’t know you needed.

If you weren't there, you missed out! So here is the audio from our live Podcast Recording to transport you to a special moment in time, recorded March 4th at Laemelle Theater in Claremont. We were able to record your question & answers and perhaps even a few tears were shed! The event was such a smashing success that we just may do it again....
