AI in Skincare: Balancing Technology and Holistic Care with Isabella Loneragan, founder and owner of Isabella Loneragan Skin and Ragan Skin

Dermhealth.co Podcast by Digital Health Co

Ever wonder how AI applies in Skincare?

Welcome to another episode of the Dermhealth.co Podcast! Today, Marni sits down with Isabella Loneragan, founder and owner of Isabella Loneragan Skin and Ragan Skin.

Isabella is a skincare industry expert with almost two decades of experience in dermatology and cosmeceuticals. She runs a private clinic in Bowral, NSW, and takes bookings in Sydney by demand. Isabella is known for her intuitive facial treatments, especially her trademarked master treatments, The Intrinsic Facial and The Intrinsic Illumination Infusion. She also founded the Ragan Skin product line and offers educational courses on facial massage mastery. Isabella regularly appears on Ch7 Sunrise and has been featured in Harper’s Bazaar, Body+Soul, and Vogue Australia.

In this episode, Isabella shares her journey into skincare, how AI connects with skincare, integrating psychological and mental health aspects into her treatments, and the importance of addressing clients' holistic well-being.

Key Takeaways:

• AI’s Role in Skincare: AI technology is growing in both medical and cosmetic skincare. While useful for initial diagnostics and product recommendations, it cannot replace the expert care of a skilled dermatologist or therapist.
• Holistic Approach: Integrating psychological and mental health aspects into skincare treatments is crucial. Isabella emphasises that how clients feel about their skin significantly affects their overall skin health.
• Consumer Education: Better education around skincare products and treatments is needed. Many misconceptions, such as relying solely on AI diagnostics or using makeup with inadequate SPF, can lead to poor skin health decisions.
• Social Media Influence: Social media profoundly impacts perceptions of skin health and beauty. Isabella discusses the negative effects of filters and unrealistic beauty standards and suggests ways to promote skin positivity and realistic expectations.
• Ethical Skincare Practices: Ethical practices in skincare are vital, including avoiding harmful additives and promoting genuinely beneficial products. Isabella highlights the dangers of over-reliance on products marketed with active ingredients, especially for teenagers.
