Episode 122 hosts Dr Steven Harris, a Cosmetic Physician based in London, UK. Steve has an international reputation for his approach to injecting. He strongly believes in treating the face holistically by respecting the anatomy and it's proportions. This is something that he has championed for many years and continues to advocate through his social media channels and to his patients. This episode's main theme discusses fillers and the growing phenomenon of the over-treatment of patients. We discuss how and why this is happening, who's fault it is and what the implications are. We debate how techniques like 'tenting' that he feels may lead to the issue of filler 'migration', the truth about filler longevity and Dr Harris' approach to dealing with poor filler results - including his 'Dissolving clinic' and how he uses hyalase. To balance the argument, we also explore what the role of the injector really is and dig deep into what their duties are - are they artists, free to express their patients choices or should they only treat people how they see fit and according to their own aesthetic principles? We also cover -the state of the UK injectable-market - how championing his views on tenting and lip fillers divided the injector community - what Dr Harris thinks of Russian lips     SUPPORT THE PODCAST: - If you enjoy listening to IA every week and would like to help support the podcast, we have two simple donation options: I Love IA! & Buy us a coffee!    IA PATREON: Did you know that we have an online injectable education and business mentoring service called IA Patreon?

Episode 121 hosts Dr Patrick Treacy based in Dublin, Ireland. Patrick is an multiple award-winning cosmetic physician who was one of the first in the world to offer facial aesthetics. We explore Dr Treacy's unusual start to his medical career and his experiences in the early years as a doctor. After suffering a potentially life-ending needle stick injury in hospital, he travelled the world, worked in several remote locations before moving back to Ireland where the facial aesthetic industry hadn't yet started. Dr Treacy quickly pioneered some the very first injectable treatments including using both biostimulator and polyacrylamide fillers for facial lipodystrophy in HIV-patients. He was also the first doctor known to try something that we now take for granted as injectors - the use of hyaluronidase to dissolve HA fillers. We get a fascinating perspective on how things have changed in facial aesthetics over 30 years before discussing Dr Treacy's most famous patient - The King of Pop, Michael Jackson.

Episode 120 hosts Dr Jean Carruthers based in Vancouver, Canada. In the late 1980's working as an opthalmologist, Dr Carruthers and her husband Dr Alistair Carruthers (a dermatologist) pioneered how botulinum toxin can be used specifically for cosmetic purposes - now the most common cosmetic procedure in the world. Dr Carruthers is globally-recognised for her expertise in research and has authored more than 300 peer reviewed scientific publications, 70 book chapters and 9 textbooks. She's given thousands of presentations on cosmetic treatments and continues to lecture on the world stage as a keynote speaker. We first discuss how she learnt to use botulinum toxin and the day she deliberately treated the first patient in the world for frown line treatment - her receptionist Cathy Swann. We learn how her peers initially dismissed the idea of injectable cosmetic treatments and yet over time, how Jean and Alistair designed the first trials and worked with Allergan to brand the treatment as 'Botox'. We explore how the current protocols (known as prescribing information) were designed and learn how Dr Carruthers still does things to this day. We also look into the future of toxins to discuss longer and shorter acting products, the issue of toxin resistance, which brands she favours and much, much more!
