The beauty industry loves a pendulum swing. From CoolSculpting and body contouring to the rise of “skinimalism” and self-acceptance, then on to GLP-1s and now compression creams—are we ever really satisfied? In this episode of ASCP Esty Talk, Maggie and Ella dive into the irony, science, and psychology behind the latest “instant tightening” trend. ASCP Esty Talk with hosts Ella Cressman and Maggie Staszcuk   Produced by Associated Skin Care Professionals (ASCP) for licensed estheticians, ASCP Esty Talk is a weekly podcast, hosted by licensed estheticians, Ella Cressman, ASCP Skin Deep Magazine contributor, and Maggie Staszcuk, ASCP Program Director.
