Episode 139 hosts Maria Enna-Cocciolone, Founder of INSKIN COSMEDICS and one of Australia’s most reputable beauty industry gurus. Maria shares her inspiring journey with us and we get a glimpse into just how much the beauty & aesthetics industry has evolved over the past 35 years. We begin by explaining why this weeks podcast was delayed before getting to know our guest. From humble beginnings, Maria has become one of Australia’s most successful beauty entrepreneurs and is the founder of several brands including INSKIN COSMEDICS, O COSMEDICS & Ginger & Me. This podcast takes the form of a free-flowing conversation to learn about Maria’s approach to business. We get some incredible insights into how her personal touch and philosophies have made her so successful. As we emerge from the lockdown and think of opening again, we learn how some of Maria's core principles can be adopted by injectors and other practitioners to stand out from the crowd. We also cover the current climate within the Australian aesthetic space including: - how this lockdown has been quite different to last years, with less government help, less optimism and potentially more long term consequences - the logical nightmare that COVID continues to have on every aspect of business including supplies chains, manufacturing, staffing, postage and delivery issues and of course, most of the clinics across the country being closed - how moving her skin products from in clinic to online threw up it's own unique problems - how mandatory vaccinations for clients and staff will be perceived when we open our doors again - the controversial topic of clinics operating in secret during the lockdown - clinics losing staff to makes ends meet - the value of making mistakes and how to learn and grow from them Support IA with on Patreon: Follow IA on Instagram: Visit the IA website: Subscribe to IA on Apple podcasts: Subscribe to IA on Spotify: Rate IA on Apple podcasts: Follow Maria on Instagram: @marieennacocciolone Visit the INSKIN website:

Inside Aesthetics - Episode 138
Episode 138 hosts Dr Nik Davies (GP & Medical Advisor for SILK Laser Clinics) and Dr Andreas Fox (Plastic Surgeon & Medical Director for Artisan Aesthetic Clinics) Since June of this year, the largest states of Australia (New South Wales & Victoria) have been in harsh lockdowns and no injectable treatments have been allowed. But as vaccination rates slowly rise, preparations are underway for re-opening - but what will that look like exactly? Injectors, clinic owners and practitioners may well be faced with some difficult decisions that have both financial and reputational implications. A minority of clinics have controversially decided to go it alone and open despite the lockdown restrictions whereas the majority are awaiting for clear guidance from the government. We'll be discussing: - our guests backgrounds and their roles within their clinics - what date clinics may get the green light to open again - what differences exist between the end of lockdown in 2020 vs 2021 - our patients mindsets: is there heightened anxiety or the opposite, COVID-apathy? - insights into what our guests clinics have been doing behind the scenes to prepare for living with COVID when we open up - how injectors have been upskilling and training in the extended lockdown - the pro's and con's of virtual teaching - the question of vaccination passports: will clinics be asked to refuse entry to unvaccinated patients and their own staff? - is there a role for rapid antigen testing in the aesthetic setting? - will we see the incredible demand and surge for treatment bookings again?

She co-founded SkinViva, a leading cosmetic clinic with her husband Dr Tim Pearce and is self-taught in aesthetic marketing. We open by discussing one of the most difficult conundrums that every injector encounters on their journey - how to price themselves within an incredibly saturated market? We'll drill down into what the value of a skilled injector is and how to feel confident charging appropriately for that. We then explore how to improve communication and the value from our patients including reducing no shows, handling last-minute cancellations, increasing word of mouth referrals and improving patient loyalty. Miranda shares her expertise on motivation and mindset when it comes to one of the most common barriers that injectors come up against- how to combat 'injecting anxiety', dealing with limiting beliefs and recovering their confidence after a complication.

Episode 127 hosts Dr Tom Van Eijk, a globally-renowned cosmetic doctor and Holland’s most famous injector. He left surgical training in 2003 to focus on injectables and by 2005, had begun teaching students. He is especially well known for his ‘ferning’ and lip ‘tenting’ techniques which he has presented all around the world. In many of our previous episodes we've speculated what a formal pathway in training in cosmetic injectables might look like - and so we found a country who's done just that. In 2019 in Holland, cosmetic injectables became recognised as a medical speciality and a training programme was created under governmental control. Dr Van Eijk gives his unfiltered opinion on this and tells us what led to these changes. We explore whether it was necessary and assess what Australian injectors could learn from the Dutch experience.

Erin and Megan showcase real, non-bs, safe and effective injectable treatments and tips on how to improve your skin. We discuss the birth of Inside Aesthetics and a little bit more about Dr Jake & David’s back stories. We then contrast the fascinating differences between the medical aesthetic landscapes of Australia vs USA.

He strongly believes in treating the face holistically by respecting the anatomy and it's proportions. This is something that he has championed for many years and continues to advocate through his social media channels and to his patients. This episode's main theme discusses fillers and the growing phenomenon of the over-treatment of patients. We discuss how and why this is happening, who's fault it is and what the implications are. We debate how techniques like 'tenting' may be linked to the issue of filler migration, the truth about filler longevity and Dr Harris' approach to dealing with poor filler results - including his 'Dissolving clinic' and how he uses hyalase. To balance the argument, we also explore what the role of the injector really is and dig deep into what their duties are - are they artists, free to express their patients choices or should they only treat people how they see fit and according to their own aesthetic principles? We also cover -the state of the UK injectable-market - how championing his views on tenting and lip fillers divided the injector community - what Dr Harris thinks of Russian lips Follow IA on Instagram: Visit the IA website: Subscribe to IA on Apple podcasts: Subscribe to IA on Spotify: Rate IA on Apple podcasts: Follow Dr Harris on Instagram: Visit his website: Thanks for your support!

We explore Dr Treacy's unusual start to his medical career and his experiences in the early years as a doctor. After suffering a potentially life-ending needle stick injury in hospital, he travelled the world, worked in several remote locations before moving back to Ireland where the facial aesthetic industry hadn't yet started. Dr Treacy quickly pioneered some the very first injectable treatments including using both biostimulator and polyacrylamide fillers for facial lipodystrophy in HIV-patients. He was also the first doctor known to try something that we now take for granted as injectors - the use of hyaluronidase to dissolve HA fillers. We get a fascinating perspective on how things have changed in facial aesthetics over 30 years before discussing Dr Treacy's most famous patient - The King of Pop, Michael Jackson.

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!

We also look at how this inter-plays with the dominant demographic group, ex-pats. As always in this series, we then look at the specific treatments available, pricing and contrast this to other global markets.

Inside Aesthetics - Episode 117
Episode 117 hosts Professor Shafi Ahmed, a multi-award winning colorectal surgeon, teacher, futurist and entrepreneur. Professor Ahmed primarily operates at The Royal London Hospital, UK as a bowel cancer specialist. But outside of his day job, Professor Ahmed has a much more extensive role in health care provision, being one of the top 20 global influencers in digital health and innovation. He advises the UK government on the ‘Long-Term Plan’ for health care and was awarded the Future NHS Award by members of Parliament. He is also the civilian advisor for the British Armed Forces in General Surgery. He has helped design and implement surgical education programmes in over 20 countries including conflict zones. Recently he was commissioned by the Abu Dhabi government to help digitalise and innovate their health care system for the future. Professor Ahmed has the unique accolade of being the world’s most watched surgeon, having streamed live operations using ‘Google Glass’, 'SnapChat Spectacles' and live on British national television. These events allowed tens of thousands of students to learn across the world live and simultaneously. He was also the first surgeon to operate using 'Microsoft Hololens', collaborating on a live case with the avatars of colleague surgeons who were actually based in different continents. If that wasn’t enough, Professor Ahmed co-founded Medical Realities, a virtual reality medical education company. Here he is pioneering ways of teaching the surgeons of the future including the use of haptic feedback gloves – with implications for how the practical skills of medical professionals are learnt including aesthetic doctors and injectors.

Inside Aesthetics - Episode 115
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?

Inside Aesthetics - Episode 114
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.

Inside Aesthetics - Episode 113
Episode 113 is the fourth part 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?

Episode 112 hosts Kian Moini, a new entrepreneur in the Australian aesthetic space and the founder of a start up business called ‘Cosmetic Recruitment’. 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.

Inside Aesthetics - Episode 111
Episode 111 hosts Dr Lee Walker, a world-renowned cosmetic injector from Liverpool in the UK. Dr Walker previously worked as a Dental Surgeon before dedicating his time to facial aesthetics. 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!
