Is that strange little bump on your forehead harmless, or is it quietly spreading beneath the surface while you wait?

Dr. Kate Dee sits down with Dr. Angela Casey, a board-certified dermatologist and fellowship-trained Mohs surgeon, to talk about the one cancer that outnumbers all others combined.

They break down who's really at risk, what warning signs you might be ignoring, and why catching things early isn't just about avoiding a scar, it's about protecting your actual face.

Dr. Casey treats skin cancers every single day and shares what she wishes more people knew before that "little bump" turns into a major problem.

You'll learn the simple monthly habit that could save you from a serious diagnosis, how to spot the difference between harmless and harmful, and why some people end up needing reconstructive surgery when early detection could have meant a tiny office procedure.

They also explain why your med spa can't help you with this and where you should actually go instead.

If you've been putting off getting something checked, or you just want to know how to protect yourself and the people you care about, this episode gives you a clear, no-fear roadmap. Dr. Casey's approach is reassuring, practical, and based on nearly 20 years of getting patients the best possible outcomes.

What happens when a board-certified dermatologist opens a med spa in a state where he has no license to practice?

A respected Seattle dermatologist who literally teaches other doctors how to inject Botox just got caught in a federal sting operation. An RN was led away in handcuffs and charged with three felonies.

The doctor?

He's now facing potential wire fraud charges and up to 20 years in prison. Dr. Kate Dee unpacks this jaw-dropping case that's unfolding right now.

The doctor interviewed an RN who turned down the job because she realized he had no Arizona license. Instead of fixing the problem, he just found someone else willing to do it anyway.

Dr. Kate Dee walks through the bizarre logistics of how you'd even pull this off. How do you get Botox shipped without a state license? How do you run a med spa when you can't legally be there?

And why would an established, well-respected physician risk everything for this?

This isn't just industry gossip. Your neighborhood med spa could be operating the same way, and you'd never know it. Dr. Kate Dee gives you the insider knowledge to spot the red flags before you're sitting in the chair.

She'll tell you exactly which licenses to look up, what questions will make sketchy providers squirm, and why that initial consultation reveals everything you need to know about whether a place is legit or not.

Listen and learn why this arrest might finally crack open the widespread problem of unlicensed practice happening in med spas across the country.

Why are RF microneedling lawsuits piling up against one specific device?

The FDA dropped several safety alerts recently. If you're getting Botox, fillers, or skin tightening treatments, you need to hear this. Dr. Dee was doing research for a potential podcast guest when something didn't add up.

Dr. Dee has performed thousands of RF microneedling treatments over 10 years without seeing the burns, scarring, and fat loss the FDA is warning about. But when she looked into the lawsuits, she found something that explains everything.

Chapters:
00:01:00 – RF microneedling injuries
00:08:06 – Counterfeit Botox
00:14:28 – Fake doctors and credential fraud

Close to a dozen people were hospitalized with botulism last year. The FDA just went after the websites selling fake injectables. Learn why some providers genuinely don't know they're breaking the law. Dr. Dee explains how this is possible and what it means for anyone walking into a med spa right now.

The fake doctor story ties it all together. When you hear how easy it was for this person to fool patients, you'll understand why asking the right questions matters more than trusting a fancy website or impressive-sounding title.

Listen and learn what Dr. Dee discovered that changes how you evaluate every med spa.
