Episode 172 hosts Dr Jake & David, your co-hosts of Inside Aesthetics. 

With Dr Jake being away in Europe for a few weeks, we thought we'd do something a bit different.

In this episode we first discuss some big news regarding our studio and David’s businesses. We then find out where Dr Jake is going and why.

We then take a break from our usual injecting topics to discuss a serious issue that seems be plaguing injectors, clinics and businesses all over the world - the weird world of Instagram hacking. 

Imagine this scenario - you're an injector who's painstakingly built up your Instagram account to several thousand followers. You have real, engaged and loyal patients who stay in touch with your business via your Instagram profile.

You're posting regularly, the likes are growing, you're making connections and networking with other similar businesses, your profits have grown post-COVID and life is good. 

Then one day, out of nowhere, you notice that you've been logged out of your Instagram account. When you try to re-log back in, you get an error message telling you that you've violated Instagrams terms and conditions. You have no idea what has happened, you're completely cut off from your business and there's absolutely nothing that you can do about it.

We cover:

- How & why injectors run their businesses predominantly via Instagram 

- The global problem of hacking and the various ways it might manifest 

- Two listeners real life stories who have been affected by Instagram hackers

- Dr Jake’s own experience of a malicious attack on his Instagram account 

- What the hackers want from your account

- The knock on effect to your followers after your Instagram account has been hacked

- The (lack of) customer service in a company as big as Meta

- Strategies to secure your Instagram account and prevent being hacked

- Simple ideas to future-proof your business
