Episode 304 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 12 we discuss the decline of HA filler use around the world and the rise of biostimulators. We then predict a future potential serious problem as a result of this new trend.

We reflect on how these trends intersect with the continuing consolidation on the market and pressures on clinics, suppliers and the shifting role of pharma BDM's (reps).

We then explore the ramifications of the FDA's decision to compounded GLP 1 medications in the USA.

Finally we update our audience about our IA Competition draw (join us tonight on IG Live), new bonus content, and Dr Jake & David's upcoming travel plans.

This is the first chapter of a new mini-series of bonus episodes in collaboration with Fresh Clinics. After 300 episodes we've decided to try something different - recording in a new studio, getting back to real life and in person recordings and to work with Fresh Clinics and some of their brand partners.

Three episodes will be published on Wednesday's (today, June 18th & July 9th) and a new killer feature is that you'll be able to watch the entire video of these podcasts either on Spotify or our YouTube channel!

In chapter 1 we host both of the co-founders of Fresh Clinics, Dr John Delaney & Dr John Holbrook. In this episode we discuss the findings of their comprehensive survey of around 200 Australian clinics, highlighting trends and challenges in the industry.

Key topics include the impact of new regulations, the role of business skills in clinical practices, and the evolving landscape of marketing strategies within the aesthetics sector. Our conversation touches on the integration of wellness and regenerative health with aesthetics, the importance of product quality over price, and the future growth of the industry.

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.
