I am a board certified facial plastic surgeon with a passion for BEAUTY in all forms, inside & out. I love human faces & my dogs tail. I was born & raised in Mississippi, spent my entire childhood trying to get to New York or LA & most of my adult life wishing I was HOME. I have a passion for truth- beauty parlor- bathroom type truth. I think we are at our BEST inspiring and sharing with other women.I believe real beauty is being brave, bold & having the courage to follow your heart. I value honesty most of all & cherish the trust so many give to me. I see every detail on every face, the shadows & the light & this is my gift. I can operate, inject or laser to redirect shadows, remove extra skin, or smooth skin texture- but the real MAGIC is seeing the light of HAPPINESS shine from inside when someone looks like they did 5 or 10 years ago. This is the feeling I wake up FOR. Language: en-us Genres: Arts, Fashion & Beauty, Health & Fitness, Medicine Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it |

The Only Way to Regenerate Skin After 20 Is to Damage It — BBL + Moxi, In My Own Words
Episode 1
Monday, 28 September, 2026
Four times over the past year I've laid down on my own table, live, no edits, and let Victoria run BBL and Moxi on my face. This episode is the best of all four, cut into one argument. The argument: BBL and Moxi are not a facial. A facial exfoliates. This damages — precisely, on purpose — and your cells regenerate. That's the whole difference between skin that's clean and skin that's younger. What you'll hear: • Why the only way to make skin regenerate after 20 is controlled damage, and why lasers are the most controlled version of that • The machine is only as good as the hands. Factory settings are fine. They are not Victoria. She's done this for 14 years, trained by Patrick Bitter, and she is the only reason I don't do it myself. • BBL vs. IPL: why selecting one wavelength at a time is safer, more tolerable, and works on darker skin • Filters for browns, reds, rosacea, broken capillaries, skin tightening, hair — set by skin type, not by a menu • BBL Heroic: ten times faster, more accurate, and the body is no longer a painful place to treat • Why BBL first primes the skin and makes Moxi work harder, with no added downtime • What Moxi actually feels like (a sandpaper wheel), what your face looks like the minute it's done, and what it looks like two days later when your makeup glides on • One rule: no sun two weeks before, two weeks after I'm not tough. This hurts less than Botox. Petro Facial Plastic Surgery · 903 Montgomery Highway, Vestavia Hills, AL · (205) 824-6334 · petromd.com
