Inside Aesthetics Dr Arthur Swift - 'Episode 200' #200
To celebrate our very special 200th episode, we were honoured to host Dr Arthur Swift (Plastic Surgeon) from Vancouver, Canada.
Arthur has been at the forefront of injectables from the very beginning, starting in the early 1990's when there were no mentors or guidelines. Originally trained as a plastic surgeon, Arthur very quickly identified how transformative non-surgical treatments would be and self-trained himself.
Over the past 30 years, Arthur has established himself as one of the most revered thought leaders in the injectable world. He has lectured in every continent, is a speaker for every injectable brand and has trained tens of thousands of injectors.
