Episode 115 hosts Dr Tapan Patel, a leading cosmetic physician and the owner of PHI clinic in London, UK. He specialises in all aspects of non-surgical aesthetic procedures and is a global KOL for Allergan Aesthetics. A year ago to the day of our recording, Dr Patel was diagnosed with COVID-19. The aftermath of this and his recovery led him on a personal journey to re-discover his health and wellness but also something even bigger. Not only did he get into the shape of his life but he then incorporated these new perspectives into aesthetic consultations with his patients. We ultimately pose some deeper questions about cosmetic medicine including: Have we only scratched the surface of our patients potential? Can wellness and aesthetics be combined into a new speciality known as lifestyle medicine?

Episode 114 sees the return of Ruanne Brell, a senior medico-legal solicitor at Avant (Australia's largest medical indemnity company). In her previous two podcasts (Episodes 51 and 66) we focused on the patient and the medical professionals perspectives. We covered how cosmetic consultations should be approached and more importantly, what to do when things don't go as planned. In today's episode we focus specifically on the legal implications of advertising cosmetic and injectable treatments in Australia. In an age where social media forms the bulk of many clinics marketing, we assess how this should be carried out in a compliant way and how to avoid being reported or penalised.

Episode 113 is the fourth chapter of our miniseries, 'The Beauty Of The World'. The Beauty Of The World hosts globally-renowned key opinion leaders to discuss their own regions beauty standards, aesthetic trends and the injectable market in their part of the world. We'll try to better understand what people find attractive, what influences this and celebrate the similarities and amazing differences between our faces and skin tones. In this episode we're joined by Dr Andre Braz, a globally-renowned dermatologist, injector and cosmetic educator. Dr Braz is a leading KOL for numerous aesthetic brands including Allergan, Galderma, Merz, Teoxane and SkinCeuticals. ⠀ We explore the beauty ideals of Brazil, world-famous for it's glamour and aesthetic confidence. But what's less commonly appreciated is that Brazil is also the world's most mixed race nation. So we go on a deep dive to understand what 500 years of fusing of cultures and races looks like. We discuss how injectors might approach multi-racial patients and get to the heart of one the core themes of the Beauty Of The World mini series - should we put less emphasis on race when we treat our patients and more people's cultural and environmental identity?

Kian is the son of Babak Moini, the founder of Laser Clinics Australia and follows in his fathers footsteps in aiming to modernise and improve the Australian injectable industry.  Kian went straight into the corporate world from high school, getting an invaluable grounding in the workings of private equity, mergers & acquisitions, business strategy and management consultancy. We get an insight into the current state of the business side of cosmetic clinics. We first discuss Kian's unique background and education in the cosmetic landscape and how it has evolved - starting with his father's own creation 'Laser Clinics Australia'. We look at the projected growth of the industry and break down some financial jargon to explain the trends and consequences for clinics to become acquired either through private equity or be listed publicly. Lastly we explore Kian's new start up company, 'Cosmetic Recruitment' that aims to solve the age old problem of clinics not having the right injector when they need them. Cosmetic Recruitment connects clinics with skilled injectors on a short or longer-term basis on an agreed commission structure.

In this role, Dr Walker heads and helps design the Teoxane educational programme in addition to mentoring injectors in several key markets. Dr Walker is best known for his easy to understand approach to cosmetic education and his knowledge of facial anatomy. We discuss a wide range of topics concerning the evidence (or lack of) for how we as injectors practice. We start with one of the key issues surrounding the specialty, namely who exactly should be allowed to inject and how should injectors train to demonstrate a level of competence? We then tackle some of the myths, dogma and assumptions of the injectable world including: - Was there really a global toxin-failure phenomenon post-lockdown? - One of the biggest controversies in injectables, the concept of 'aspiration'. Is it a useful test and if not, what should we be doing? - Are cannulas really safer than needles? What does 'safe' even mean? - Facial swelling post-COVID 19 vaccinations. Is this a new worrying concern or simply media-hype and a known issue? -Filler associated blindness and what should we do about it? - And much more!
