  • Ageless with Surgery: Noninvasive Solutions with Dr. Doris Day
    Jan 7 2026

    HAPPY NEW YEAR!

    We believe that women of any age deserve to feel beautiful, confident, and empowered in their skin. Aging is natural—and so are the many noninvasive skincare and anti-aging options available today.

    Feeling your best doesn’t have to mean Botox, fillers, or cosmetic surgery. So what are the best noninvasive treatments for aging skin, especially for women who want natural results?

    This week, we’re joined by Board-Certified Dermatologist Dr. Doris Day, a nationally recognized expert in skin health and anti-aging dermatology. Dr. Day shares a variety of science-backed skincare treatments and products that women over 50 should know about. From the critical role of daily sunscreen in preventing premature aging to innovative technologies like Sofwave for skin tightening and collagen stimulation, she explains how women can maintain healthy, youthful-looking skin without invasive procedures.

    Whether you’re curious about noninvasive skin rejuvenation, anti-aging skincare routines, or the latest dermatologist-recommended treatments, this episode offers practical, expert insights to help women feel beautiful—inside and out.
