About this Event

Join Village Books in welcoming Dr. Kate Dee and Julie Trimingham to the Readings Gallery for Dr. Kate Dee's debut memoir and exposé, Med Spa Mayhem: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Secrets of the Aesthetic Industry.

Med Spa Mayhem is a compelling and must-read book that delves deep into the often unforeseen dangers lurking within the medical spa industry. Dr. Kate Dee brings her extensive expertise and experience to the forefront, offering a critical examination of the growing trend of med spa treatments and the potential risks they can pose. The book serves as both an exposé and a guide for anyone wishing to have med spa treatments. Dr. Dee begins by painting a vivid picture of the allure of medical spas, establishments that have become synonymous with luxury, relaxation, and the promise of enhanced beauty. However, as she peels back the layers, a different picture emerges―one of unregulated practices, inadequately trained practitioners, and a startling lack of oversight that can result in dangerous outcomes. Most importantly, Dr. Dee equips readers with practical advice on how to identify reputable med spas, understand the qualifications of practitioners, and make informed decisions about cosmetic treatments. She stresses the importance of consumer education in ensuring their own safety and satisfaction.

Dr. Kate Dee (drkatedee.com) is the author of the aesthetics industry exposé, Medspa Mayhem, and founder of Glow Medispa, where she performs all aspects of medical aesthetics, from injectables and skin care to lasers and body sculpting. A graduate of Yale, she earned a BS in biology in 1989 and her MD there in 1994. In addition to her medical practice, Dr. Dee has a special interest in business ethics and the medicolegal aspects of practicing aesthetic medicine.

Julie Trimingham's most recent book is Sa'le Q'ewet Netse-lh / Our Hearts Beat as One, a bilingual kid's book about the captive killer whale known as Lolita, Tokitae, and Sk'aliCh'elh-tenaut. She and Kate were college roommates at Yale, where she remembers Kate reciting organic chemistry equations a mile long. She's excited to see Kate's impeccable science, extensive experience, her compassion, and her humor, come together in Med Spa Mayhem.
