Inside Aesthetics Dr Jigna Patel - 'Holistic Perspectives in Aesthetic Medicine' #298
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.

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.
