Episode 151 hosts Dr Jake & David, your co-hosts and co-founders of the podcast.  We summarise 2021 that was yet again ravaged by COVID and lockdowns. Dr Jake & David share some insights into just how disruptive the effects of the lockdown have been for the podcast. They reflect back on their last episode together (Episode 141) where they made predictions about what the Australian injectable and aesthetics industry would look like post-lockdown. Specific discussion points include: - Some insights into why things have been so hectic behind the scenes recently 

- How David’s four injectable clinics been managing in the aftermath of the various state lockdowns?

- Whether his staffing issues have eased in the wake of the continuing lack of travellers to Australia?

- Have patients been spending well or are there any signs of financial stress?

- Whether the new COVID rules and vaccination mandates affected working life in his clinics?

- Dr Jake shed’s some insight into his role as an injectables trainer (and teases a new training opportunity for injectors in 2022!)

We then look forward to IA’s future plans including:

- a huge Christmas special planned for Dec 24th where we talk to the inventor of the world’s first hyaluronic acid filler, Restylane

- a look ahead at ‘The Injector Diaries’ & ‘Treatments & regions uncovered’ episodes and who we might talk to in the near future

- news about our YouTube channel (is it finally going to happen?!)
