And also, we're two men who haven't gone through what women always go through when they get in their 40s, especially in their 50s, which is menopause. I have a good friend of mine, Dr. Mary Claire Haver, who has really brought a lot of discussion about menopause and the changes that it undergoes, that it creates in the female body.

You know, there's a lot of science coming out now about how menopause affects the skin as well. And a lot of people don't realize this, but in the first five years after menopause, women lose 30% of the collagen of their skin in literally just five years. And then they lose about 2% every year thereafter. And so, yes, it's easy.

I see influencers online who are poo-pooing cosmetic treatments and saying, oh, I'm gonna age gracefully. I don't need any of this stuff. And sometimes these are men who are in their 20s who are big muscle-bound guys. And it's like, you do not know what it's like to be, number one, a woman living in our society where once you're past your 20s,

A lot of women, they tell me they feel all of a sudden like once they're out of their 20s, they feel somewhat invisible. It's something that we don't as men really even understand, but this is endemic in our society. Women in their 30s or 40s or 50s don't feel like they're being seen anymore because they're not that 20-year-old. It's like you see with actresses in Hollywood.

Once they get past a certain age, you just don't see them anymore. However, you will see men in their 50s and 60s still doing action movies and all this type of stuff.

And so all of that is combined with, you know, society and how they treat women as they get older is combined with the challenges that women go through when they go through perimenopause and menopause, you know, where you're dealing with such huge changes in the body and you're also dealing with

a medical system, and even like a cosmetic system when we're looking at cosmetic medicine that hasn't fully addressed this. And the fact that we haven't even educated our patients that you're going to go through this. It's a normal process, but there's so many ways that you can fight it off if you truly want to. It's a fascinating discussion.

I'm glad it's finally coming to the forefront because I do think, yeah, you know, you and I being males, we are just because we're men, we're in a place of privilege when we talk about the aging process because, you know, it doesn't affect us in the same way, both societally as well as physically as it does to women.
