Inside Aesthetics

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!

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.

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.

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.

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?

He is a hugely respected global key opinion leader for Teoxane and has taught in over 30 countries. 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!
