Description
In episode seventy of the Glow Journal podcast, host Gemma Watts talks to the founder of Dr Barbara Sturm Molecular Cosmetics, Dr Barbara Sturm.Barbara Sturm knew, from the age of four, that she would grow up to be a doctor. She’d watched her grandmother, a pharmacist, and her mother, a lab doctor, at work, and entered into the field of orthopaedics through what she describes as a love of helping people.Dr Sturm explains, however, that she’d always had an interest in beauty (and in beautiful things), so a move into aesthetics felt natural. It was then that she took her work in orthopaedics, specifically a treatment she helped pioneer in which the blood from a patient is re-injected into the joints to remove inflammation, and translated that science into the field of aesthetics- and so, what we now know as the Vampire Facial was born. Dr Barbara Sturm’s signature clinical treatments and prescription plasma-based creams developed what can only be described as a cult following, so to ensure that her work could reach a global audience (rather than exclusively those who could visit her clinic) she began to work on her own consumer brand. Dr Barbara Sturm’s line of molecular cosmetics was launched in 2014, taking the in-clinic experience and turning it into one of the most innovative, and celebrity-loved, brands of today. In this conversation, Barbara shares how the now-infamous “vampire facial” actually works, why she so strongly believes that inflammation is the root cause of almost every skin ailment, and how Kobe Bryant played a role in establishing Dr Sturm’s now-signature clinical treatment.
