He has been using Ultherapy since 2017 and is a leading practitioner in how to best use it. We discuss what Ultherapy is, the technology involved and how this relates to treating specific signs of facial ageing. We specifically drill down into collagen loss, aging of the SMAS layer and how these structures impact on facial aesthetics. We learn from Stephen about what patients make the best candidates for Ultherapy, contrast it with alternative modalities and treatments, discuss what the treatment journey looks like, downtime and the rare risk of complications.

Episode 234 hosts Julie Bass Kaplan, a Nurse Practitioner from California, USA. Better known as Jubilant Julie, she has been injecting since 1999 and is one of the world's most experienced aesthetic injectors. This is the 3rd chapter in our mini-series called 'Disasters & Solutions'. Here we look at some of the unusual, difficult or outright disasterous outcomes for patients caused by injectables. We speak to the injectors who managed the case and go through what happened, step by step. We'll learn about what might have been done to prevent the problem and what injectors can do in their own practice to be safer practitioners. In Chapter 3 we discuss a case concerning a patient who was treated with chin filler. They immediately developed a significant and rare vascular occlusion that affected one side of their tongue. We hear about what was done to salvage the situation and drill down into some fundamental learning points for all injectors.

Episode 233 hosts Dr Alexander Rivkin, an ENT surgeon from California, USA. For years injectors have argued bitterly about the pros and cons of theoretical safety manoeuvres performed when injecting fillers. These techniques include aspiration, small or larger movements of the needle tip or even aspiration and moving combined. We explore the rationale proposed for these procedures and try to understand the merits and limitations of what they might offers us.

Episode 232 hosts Dr Pouria Moradi, a Plastic Surgeon & Reconstructive Surgeon from Sydney, Australia. Pouria recently published his first book entitled 'Normal - A Plastic Surgeon's letter to his daughter about body image'. He first got the idea for the book as he watched his seven year old daughter participating in a swimming carnival. She seemed so proud of herself and completely unaware of how she looked in her cute swimming costume. But it dawned on him juggling his role as a father and Plastic Surgeon - how long would this innocence would last? Might she soon start asking questions about her body? And if so, what should a father who offers cosmetic surgery every day to other women say? This is a deep conversation about body image, parenting, ethics and ultimately, we try to understand what is 'normal'? CHECK OUT OUR SPECIAL OFFERS: Click here to browse our latest partner offers!

Episode 227 hosts Dr Sunny Dhesi, a General Practitioner from Rutland, UK. In this episode we cover one of the most commonly asked questions amongst injectors - what clinical software system is 'best' for injectors? Having already covered this topic from a software developers perspective (episode 221), we go on a deep dive to better understand the injectors mindset when considering investing in aesthetic software. We discuss: Sunny's background What 'CRM' means Why clinics need a clinical software system Why choosing a system is so difficult How the marketing of software doesn't always equate to the reality of using it Why there isn't a perfect CRM software How and why injectors often ignore the business side running their clinic Why understanding a patients journey is so important Learning how to interpret the back end of your CRM data Trialling software before commiting to it SPECIAL OFFERS: Check out all of our current partnership offers here SUPPORT THE PODCAST: If you enjoy listening to IA every week and would like to help support the podcast Click here to support us PATREON: Join our Patreon for a wealth of injectable and business education in addition to global networking opportunities Also get access to: - Business mentoring opportunities with David (additional cost, limited slots) - Shadowing opportunities in clinic with Dr Jake (additional cost, limited slots) CONTACT INFORMATION: Contact IA and other important links Subscribe to IA on Apple Podcasts Subscribe to IA on Spotify Follow Dr Jake on Instagram Follow David on Instagram
