We chop it up with renowned esthetician Sofie Pavitt, founder of Sofie Pavitt Face and owner of Sofie Pavitt Skincare Studio in Chinatown, to talk salmon sperm facials, microneedling, and PRP (platelet-rich plasma) treatments. Sofie breaks down the science behind salmon DNA for skin rejuvenation, its role in microneedling, and how FDA restrictions shape treatments in the U.S. compared to South Korea’s cutting-edge beauty scene.

Elsewhere in the episode, we unpack podcast criticism, New York Magazine’s take on adult allowances, the politics of men and backpacks, unwanted bar encounters, the lost art of flossing, silent sauna competitions, and the ultimate flex—disappearing from IG and re-emerging with a baby. All that, and much, much more.
