Inside Aesthetics - SoundSage

Episode 278 hosts Dr Steven Land, a Cosmetic Physician from Newcastle, UK.

In September 2024 a 33 year old patient named Alice Walker tragically died after a non-surgical liquid BBL procedure in the UK. The procedure was performed by an injector with no medical qualifications called Jordan James Parke. He and the clinic owner were arrested on charges of manslaughter but have since been released.

We discuss the circumstances surrounding this case and the wider implications due to the unique lack of regulations in UK aesthetics.

Steven joins us for Chapter 7 of our 'What's trending in Aesthetics?' mini-series. In these episodes we cover topics that have got injectors talking on social media or been in the news. We'll cover controversies, big stories and themes that affect our speciality.

Episode 257 showcases our hosts Dr Jake Sloane & David Segal.

In our mini-series, we discuss topics that have been trending on socia media or in the news. We'll cover controversies, news, big stories and themes that have got injectors and our industry talking.

In chapter two of these episodes 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.

Episode 252 hosts Dr Isabella (Izzy) Sillar, a Cosmetic Physician from Melbourne, Australia.

Izzy is a unique injector who describes herself as a 'translator'. Instead of only working on her patients superficial concerns, she works with patients who are open to a holistic and 360 degree approach. This means that in addition to facial aesthetics, she explores their mental health, nutrition, sleep, exercise, libido, hormonal status and other important parameters of wellbeing.

We explore Izzy's pathway into this way of working, her approach and the importance of working with other allied professionals to fully optimise our patients health.

Episode 251 hosts Pene Timberlake, a Nurse Practioner from Freshwater, Australia. Pene was one of our very first guests on IA (Episodes 3, 26 and 43) and is one of the country's most experienced nurse injectors.

We first learn about her progression from being a Registered Nurse to a Nurse Practitioner (NP). We get an understanding about what this qualification entails and why this was so challenging. We also learn about why the door for nurses wanting to become aesthetic NP's is now effectively closed.

In her first appearance on the podcast over five years ago, we re-visit the question of what makes a good cosmetic injector. With the landscape and regulations having changed so much in Australia, we explore the deeper issue of whether the bar has simply been set too low to become an injector? We ponder whether the changes that have been made were actually very necessary and what else needs to be done to create a recognised 'injecting' speciality.

Episode 250 showcases our hosts Dr Jake Sloane & David Segal.

Fresh from our Easter break, we first learn about Dr Jake's trips to New Zealand with Allergan, London for the ACE conference, France to visit the Allergan filler manufacturing plant and Moanco for the AMWC conference.

We then discuss our main topic and the fallout of the latest regulatory changes announced in Australia. With cosmetic clinics now banned from advertising their prices, their menu of services (that involve using medications) and before & afters photos, where exactly do injectors go from here?

Despite all the noise and pushback from the injector community, we ponder whether this is exactly what is needed. A redo, a rethink and a return to the medical model.

The regulations for injectors and cosmetic clinics are rapidly evolving in Australia - so fast in fact that some of the topics discussed in this episode have already been surpassed by new guidelines released on March 7th 2024. So we will tackle the changing regulations in two (or more!) parts.

In Part 1 we explaining the background to why these changes are happening. We get the views of two of the main colleges who represent the vast majority of injectors - registered nurses, nurse practitioners and cosmetic physicians.

Episode 238 hosts Maria Reid, a Registered Nurse based in Tasmania, Australia. Maria has a Masters in Clinical leadership and is the co-owner of Eden Clinic based in Hobart.

In this bonus and short podcast, we discuss the new and significant regulatory changes that have been implemented in the state of Tasmania for cosmetic clinics.

Back in 2021 Maria was invited to a forum held by the Tasmanian Department of Health. In this meeting the government announced that they would be implementing some voluntary but no less significant changes in how cosmetic clinics operate and how they are licensed. Clinics who do not have a prescribing doctor on site would instead need to apply to become a 'licensed facility' - similar to the licensing of a day surgery facility.

Maria shares the background to this story and how she completed the process for her own clinic. And she has a warning for the rest of Australia - change for the rest of the country is almost certainly coming.

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'?

Why choosing a system is so difficult
How the marketing of software doesn't always equate to the reality of using it

Episode 223 is a little bit different... instead of our usual episode style with one or two guests, we go big!

A fortnight ago Dr Jake & David appeared at one of Australia's biggest conferences, 'Aesthetics'. This annual meeting is convened by Dr Steven Liew, a renowned Plastic Surgeon and previous guest on IA on episodes 64, 126 &192. The goal of the Aesthetics conference is to disrupt the current way of doing things and to explore innovative ideas on how to improve safety and efficacy for both industry professionals and patients.

This year was no different and Dr Jake & David were invited to also do something totally new - a live podcast with a large selection of guests - in only 23 minutes! The brief from Steven was simple, 'Make people think'.

Our expert injector panel consisted of:

Dr Lee Walker
Dr Tapan Patel
Dr Rungsima Wanitphakdeedecha
Dr Dalvi Humzah
Dr Zunaid Alli
Dr Beatriz Molina

You can watch the entire panel discussion on our YouTube Channel here

Thank you to Steven for inviting us and to the guests for being part of our first ever live 'podcast'. We will be back next year at A24 with something bigger and better!

Episode 221 hosts Dr Askari Townshend, a Cosmetic Physician & an entrepreneur from London, UK.

Like all cosmetic injectors, Askari needed a clinical management software to run his practice and database. But he couldn't find anything suitable for his needs. And so he embarked on building his own CRM system called 'Collums'. This proved very successful and future developments were planned to take Collums to the USA and other markets.

But just three weeks ago out of nowhere, agreed funding for future investment in the software was pulled, leaving the future of Collums on a knife edge. We explore:

Askari's background
The challenges of creating clinical software
Why there will never be a perfect clinical management software for injectors
Why software is so expensive to develop
The mismatch between this cost and what injectors are willing to pay to run their practices
What happened with his investor
What the future holds for Collums

Episode 220 showcases our hosts Dr Jake Sloane, David Segal & a guest appearance from our new Marketing Manager Kendel Young. (This was a totally unplanned chat where we hit the record button in our studio after a team meeting!)

In an already congested social media world, Meta has launched a new app called 'Threads'. In just a few days it became the fastest downloaded app ever, even beating ChatGPT and boasting over 100 million users by week one.

But is an app that has seemingly been created to take on Twitter also relevant to aesthetic businesses?

We explore:

What Threads is exactly
What Twitter is traditionally used for and who was using it
How Threads is so similar to Twitter - but why it also has a massive advantage
What the basic functionality of Threads is
How a text-based app feels different compared to visual mediums like Instagram
Whether this can lead to more authenticity and a better connection with your followers
Why you shouldn't replicate your other social media content on Threads
How to sign up to Threads
