Inside Aesthetics

Episode 360 hosts Rachel Jarrell ('Ms Glowtox', Board-Certified Nurse Practitioner, co-founder of The Facial Refinery, USA)
Rachel joins us in the 34th chapter of our series called 'The Injector Diaries'. These episodes feature in depth conversations, stories and experiences from injectors around the globe.
Each injector brings their own unique take on things and we showcase every level of type of injector, from newbies to masters. We'll explore how and why they chose to inject, why they favour using certain products, look under the hoods of their clinics and aim to inspire our injector listeners.

Episode 359 showcases our hosts Dr Jake Sloane & David Segal.
In our 'What's trending in Aesthetics?' episodes we discuss popular topics doing the rounds on social media, issues being debated in injector forums or items showcased on the news. We'll cover controversies, big stories and themes that have got injectors and our industry talking.


In Chapter 18 we delve into four main topics:
A new Australian study putting data behind the value of a proper patient consultation.
The emerging research on GLP-1 agonists and their effect on facial fat and skin structure.
The rise of 'treatment regret' - from filler dissolving to BBL and breast implant reversals, as the industry swings back toward more natural results.
The practice of 'backfilling' or 'decanting' filler into smaller syringes, and the legal and safety risks injectors may not be considering.

Episode 358 hosts Dr Rob Weiss (GP from Melbourne, Australia)
In this episode we explore the trending but highly controversial topic of peptides. 
We discuss the background to these products, the growing demand from the general public and address the significant dangers of black-market peptides.
Our guest explains how he educated himself about this niche speciality and his thoughts about why no significant studies or evidence exists for most commonly used peptides. 
We learn about his approach to using peptides in patients with musculoskeletal injuries and his clear distinction between this approach vs people using peptides for self-prescribed 'looksmaxing' and  within the 'gym bro' culture.

Episode 357 showcases our hosts Dr Jake Sloane & David Segal
In our mini series 'The Tox Talks', we feature expert injectors who have significant experience in using botulinum toxins. These episodes explore our guests experiences using particular brands, the evolution of their injecting techniques and we get special insights into the subtle nuances of getting the best out of toxins.
In Chapter 13 we review where we're at in the toxin market and what the implications are of having more choice. In Australia we've quickly moved from only three traditional choices (Botox, Dysport,and Xeomin) to seven (adding Letybo, Nuceiva, Relfydess, and Daxxify). This has resulted in clinical and commercial complexity for clinics and we delve into this new problem. 
Patient demand, marketing pressures and questionable business choices have led some injectors to stock multiple brands - but maybe at the expense of reducing mastery, inconsistent results, poorer patient satisfaction and less profitability. We outline the common issues encountered when introducing new toxin brands whilst covering the business angles including inventory management, buying power, pricing, and communicating change with patients.

Episode 356 hosts Angela Winters (Registered Nurse from Mudgee, Australia)
In this podcast we learn how aesthetic clinics in Australia are partnering with Fresh Clinics to introduce new services for their patients - weight loss, menopause and hair loss consultations under the 'Fresh Health' model. This episode builds on what we learnt in episode 353 with Dr John Delaney (Co-Founder of Fresh Clinics) and why Fresh Health was launched.
Angela first shares her own weight-loss journey before we learn about how hybrid nurse & prescriber consultations work in practice. We discuss the typical in clinic approach for these services and cover some of the key steps including screening tools, blood testing, prescriptions, follow-ups and patient education.
