We've been priviledged to have hosted both of our guests on the podcast previously (episodes 120 and 190) and these rank in the top five of our most listened to episodes ever.

These two legendary pioneers helped discover and evolve the science of botulinum toxin treatments and facial aesthetics as a speciality. Jean and Michael's experience is unparalleled having both worked on the advisory boards and research teams from every major pharma company over the past 40 years. So we go on a deep dive to learn where we've come from, where we're currently at and where we might be going in the world of aesthetics.

Episode 298 hosts Dr Jigna Patel (General Practitioner, London, UK). Jigna is a UK-based GP with a special interest in skin health, functional medicine and takes a very different approach with her aesthetic patients.

The conversation explores the integration of holistic health principles into aesthetic practice, touching on topics such as the brain-gut-skin axis, ethical issues in the aesthetics industry, and the need for a balanced approach to skin and overall health. Dr. Patel shares personal experiences that influenced her approach, emphasizing the importance of looking at patients' overall well-being rather than just treating aesthetic symptoms. The discussion also critiques overused treatments like RF needling, the ethical concerns of treating younger patients, and the far-reaching impacts of diet and lifestyle on skin health. The episode offers a thought-provoking perspective on the future of aesthetic medicine and the role of holistic practices in achieving better patient outcomes.

Episode 297 showcases our hosts Dr Jake Sloane & David Segal

With political issues and the economic climate changing almost every day, we're publishing this episode out of sync with our usual Friday podcast. What we recorded just 4 weeks ago dated quite a lot and so we decided to record a second part to this episode to also address the tariff situation, the stock market volatility and what these mean for aesthetic clinics.

• Part 1 (this episode) is free and available to listen to on your favourite podcast app
• Part 2 (also out now!) is exclusive for subscribers to our Patreon (CLICK HERE TO TRIAL OUR PATREON FOR FREE FOR 1 MONTH!)

In Chapter 11 (Part 1) of 'What's Trending in Aesthetics,' we reflect on the introduction of another new toxin into the Australian market. We first tackle how clinics will need to understand both the clinical but also financial implications of this. We discuss the challenges of introducing new products into your business, particularly focusing on toxins and fillers.

We highlight the vital importance of:

• Critical analysis when it comes to understanding clinical studies
• Transparent communication with patients if you change their usual product to something else
• Pricing strategies
• Understanding the nuances of different toxin and filler products.

We also touch on the importance of clinical photography, scheduling routine reviews of patients, the potential pitfalls of packaging treatments and the perception of 'top-ups.'

We conclude with practical advice on balancing margins and cash flow when making business decisions when it come to purchasing and pricing products.
