Pene Timberlake - 'What makes a good injector & has the bar been set too low?' #251
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.

Dr Jake Sloane & David Segal - 'The latest Australian regulatory changes - where do injectors go from here?' #250
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.

Maria Reid - 'What the regulatory changes in Tasmania mean for the rest of Australia' #238
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. PATREON: SUPPORT THE PODCAST: CHECK OUT OUR SPECIAL OFFERS: CONTACT INFORMATION:

Better known as Jubilant Julie, she has been injecting since 1999 and is one of the world's most experienced aesthetic injectors.

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.

Pouria recently published his first book entitled 'Normal - A Plastic Surgeon's letter to his daughter about body image'.

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: SUPPORT THE PODCAST: PATREON: CONTACT INFORMATION:

We discuss how injectors in Asia might approach their patients and how local culture affects what is seen as beautiful. We also discuss a fundamental question posed by our Beauty Of The World mini series - are we as injectors guilty of stereotyping and assuming what beauty ideals would be suitable for our patients? We discuss: Defining of the description term ‘Asian’ Singaporean demographics and how this influences the patient mindset The main aesthetic differences between Asian & Caucasian patients What the term 'baby face' means Who influences Asian beauty ideals The Chinese market and influence Common treatment requests when using fillers including the midface, nose, forehead and lower face The implications of treating high risk areas frequently Asian toxin trends Lower facial slimming The reverence of good skin in Asian beauty standards Common injectable skin treatments including Rejuran Korea's unique beauty standards PATREON: SUPPORT THE PODCAST: CHECK OUT OUR SPECIAL OFFERS: CONTACT INFORMATION:

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'.
