Episode 257 showcases our hosts Dr Jake Sloane & David Segal. In our 'What's trending in Aesthetics?' mini-series of episodes we discuss topics that have been popular with injectors on social media or in the news. We'll cover controversies, big stories and themes that have got our industry talking. In Chapter 2 we cover an article published by The Sun newspaper in the UK. This reported that Laser Clinics UK (with 50 locations built in the last few years) had suddenly been forced to liquidate several of its clinics. This decision left staff jobless and patients angry, with many having paid for treatments in advance with no recourse or refunds offered. We discuss the global trends that have led to this, other issues that larger chain clinics often struggle with and make some predictions about how difficult the next 12-24 months might be.
