Episode notes
Skip Unpredictable Biostimulators
- Avoid Sculptra because its collagen stimulation is unpredictable and can create long-lasting nodules.
- Prefer Radiesse which provides immediate volume plus biostimulation for more controllable results.
Devices Sell On Brand, Not Value
- Many device brands sell primarily on branding and lawsuits rather than clear clinical superiority.
- Practitioners often buy expensive branded devices hoping to recoup costs through marketing, not better outcomes.
Pick A Specialist Surgeon
- Choose surgeons who specialize in the exact procedure you need, not jack-of-all-trades surgeons.
- Prefer facial specialists who perform high volumes for better outcomes and experience.
