The Zoe Report highlights Dr. Devgan in their latest segment, "Trust Me, I Tried It"
Dr. Devgan was featured on The Zoe Report as part of the segment “Trust Me, I Tried It,” where Site Director Lauren Caruso came in to try facial micro-optimization. For those who do not know, The Zoe Report is the fastest-growing publisher in modern media which focuses on uncovering stories and issues through the lens of authenticity, inclusivity, and conversation. Upon her curiosity of injectables, Caruso made a visit to Dr. Devgan’s office to see first-hand what it is like getting injections.
As one can see from Lauren’s visit, she runs through her entire consultation appointment with Dr. Devgan from the numbing to the icing. After the face is numb, Dr. Devgan analyzed with Lauren where she wanted to get work done and then proceeds to mark the face precisely before injecting. After figuring this out, Dr. Devgan begins to inject the face in order to achieve facial optimization. Upon completion, Dr. Devgan discusses the post-treatment instructions: no alcohol or working out on the same day and ice to reduce bruising and swelling the first 2 days following.
Dr. Devgan is a board-certified plastic surgeon and is extensively educated and trained on the anatomy of the face. She makes it a point to explain the importance of knowing and understanding facial anatomy before giving any type of injections.
Overall, less is more when it comes to injections and what is important is finding a doctor who realizes that even subtle changes can help transform one’s face. If you are interested in seeking a consultation similar to Lauren’s, feel free to call or email 212-452-2400 and office@laradevganmd.com.
Dr. Devgan educates readers of the Wall Street Journal on the safety of drop-in injectable bars
Wall Street Journal turns to Dr. Devgan to give her medical expertise on the importance of seeking minimally-invasive treatments, such as Botox, from medical professionals. With a rise in “drop-in injectable bars,” it is easy for people to turn to lesser experienced people for work that should still be done by a professional. Offices decorated with neon signs, fluffy pillows, and selfie mirrors distract people from the fact that injectables are still a serious treatment.
Dr. Devgan explains how she is concerned on how “a lot of these places are marketed to younger millennials” by displaying Instagrammable decor and “making it seem like nothing bad could happen.” A majority of the clientele at these drop-in injectable bars are first-timers, therefore they are not completely aware of the side effects. Some of which include: dropped brows, frozen faces, abnormal speech, as well as much larger neurological or cardiovascular issues. What’s going unnoticed are all of the years of education and training that board-certified plastic surgeons go through in order to get to where they are today. Dr. Devgan explains to readers how “there are 43 muscles of facial expression and hundreds of thousands of neurovascular branches and patterns below the skin” and it takes a real professional to know the true anatomy of one’s face in order to properly give injectables.
Instagram has eased the stigma behind injectables, however, Dr. Devgan is here to remind everyone that while they might seem effortless, they do require much knowledge in order to be done correctly. Getting Botox or fillers is much more complex than getting a blowout, therefore it is important to be mindful of where you are getting them from. If you are interested in coming in to learn more about minimally-invasive injectables or want to schedule a consultation to see what Dr. Devgan recommends for you, feel free to call 212-452-2400 or email office@laradevganmd.com.

Everyday Health consults Dr. Devgan for her medical expertise on laser treatments
Dr. Devgan is highlighted in Everyday Health as a medical expert touching on the topic of laser resurfacing for better skin. Lasers are a great option for people who want to improve many areas of the skin such as: fine lines and wrinkles, sun spots, acne scarring, tattoos, and loose skin. What many people do not realize is how extensive laser treatments are and Dr. Devgan is here to help clarify.
According to Dr. Devgan, a laser is a “skin-resurfacing modality that harnesses the power of light and heat to improve skin tone, texture, and coloration.” Although it may seem like an easy treatment to perform on someone, what’s more important is “the person on the other end of the laser who’s programming the settings” because one wrong move could result in “a catastrophic burn or hyper- or hypopigmentation.” That being said, if you are interested in seeking a laser treatment, it is smart to see a board-certified plastic surgeon or a dermatologist with significant experience and expertise.
While laser treatments have great outcomes, it is important to keep in mind that since it is gentler than other treatments on the market, you will need several sessions in order to serious results. Dr. Devgan urges people to understand that it is less about the brands of the lasers and more about the healthcare professional who is performing the treatment. For anyone who is interested in laser but is not as knowledgeable, “the basic rule of thumb is that the more aggressive the treatment, the more downtime and the better result.” On the other hand, “the less aggressive the treatment, the less downtime and also the less dramatic the result and the more treatments you’ll need to get a nice outcome.” To read more about lasers, click here.
