| 07 Apr 2020 | Dr Vinny Singh (Integrative GP) - 'An introduction to integrative medicine' #56 | 01:06:42 | |
Episode 56 hosts Dr Vinny Singh, a UK-trained GP who has now shifted his focus to ‘integrative medicine’. The philosophy of an integrative approach is that many common health issues can be delayed or even prevented entirely if people made different lifestyle choices earlier. As an integrative doctor, Dr Singh focuses on chronic problems and achieves wellbeing by treating his patients as a whole. Nutrition, hormonal balancing and addressing external stressors like work & relationships are key.

| 24 Jun 2021 | Dr Tom Van Eijk – 'What happened when the government regulated cosmetic injectables in Holland?' - #127 | 01:15:04 | |
Episode 127 hosts Dr Tom Van Eijk based in Amsterdam, Holland. Dr Van Eijk is 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 the only country who has 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.

In this new mini-series called ‘Disasters & Solutions’, we’ll be looking at some of the unusual, difficult or outright disasterous outcomes for patients caused by injectables. We’ll speak to the injectors who managed a difficult 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 1, we discuss a case concerning a patient who was treated and injured by a non-medical injector with a likely imported and unregulated botulinum toxin. As the story unfolds, we learn she was one of at least nine similarly injured patients by the same injector.

| 20 May 2021 | Dr Steven Harris - 'Over-treatment, filler migration and the alienisation of faces' #122 | 01:42:20 | |
Episode 122 hosts Dr Steven Harris, a Cosmetic Physician based in London, UK. Steve has an international reputation for his approach to injecting. 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' that he feels may lead 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

At that time, the Australian injectable market was very immature. The chain clinics hadn't yet formed, social media was in it's infancy, hyalase wasn't a thing and in many ways, the aesthetic world was far simpler. In Chapter 7 of 'The Business of Injecting' episodes, we explore:

Episode 148 hosts Dr Danae Lim (Cosmetic Physician) & Nicky Lurie (Skin therapist) who both work at Shape Clinic, Sydney. During this episode, we discuss how the expertise of skin care intersects with injectables. Whilst some injectors have extensive knowledge in the field of skin anatomy and cosmetic ingredients, the majority aren't trained in this important speciality. We cover: - How skin care & injectables go hand in hand - How poor skin quality affects the outcomes of injectable - How practitioners might integrate skin care into their practice - What the limitations of injectables are and where can skin treatments can optimise patients overall aesthetic outcomes - Why traditionally has there been such a disconnect between skin therapists and injectors? - What are the most common skin concerns that are poorly treated with injectables? - Why patients find the skin such a mystery? How can we educate people better? - How to discuss sun protection with injectable patients - The art of working as a team to maximise your patients goals

| 18 Apr 2024 | Dr Jake Sloane & David Segal - 'The latest Australian regulatory changes - where do injectors go from here?' #250 | 01:12:13 | |
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.

Episode 212 hosts Dr Nichola Conlon a Molecular Biologist from Newcastle, UK. Nichola is an academic scientist with a particular interest in how and why we age. She's the founder of Nuchido, a company who's mission is to help bring affordable anti-aging strategies to the public domain. When we started the IA podcast back in 2019, some of our older episodes covered wellness topics that looked at the relationship between looking good & feeling good. But we didn't address aging itself or the evolving field of what many now refer to as 'regenerative medicine'. Research being conducted here is becoming more and more profound - with some scientists now confident that aging can not only be slowed but even reversed. What will come of this new emerging field we don't know yet, but it's likely to be especially relevant for aesthetic clinics who until now have only had the tools to 'camouflage' the external signs of aging. We discuss:

In this new series of episodes called 'Treatments & Regions Uncovered', we’ll be drilling down into how injectors approach specific areas of the face, what techniques they use and what they've changed over time as they mastered the technique. We’ll explore the patient perspective and get an understanding of their needs and complaints, as well as discussing any alternative treatment options that might be considered. We also discuss the anatomy and facial ageing signs of the area to better understand what’s happening before going on a deep dive to find out: - how our guest does it - what products and tools they prefer and why - what approaches they use and why - what we can learn from their experiences and the complications that they’ve encountered As an extra twist to these episodes, our co-hosts Dr Jake and David will take on different roles! David will act as our main host and give his own ‘patient’ perspectives whilst Dr Jake will join the week's guest as a second expert injector to share his own insights, tips and tricks. This week we’ll be exploring the ‘tear trough and peri-ocular region', the delicate zone below the eyes and an area commonly requested by patients - but notoriously difficult to treat well. We cover: -what exactly is the tear trough? -when do patients typically start noticing changes in the under eye region? - What are the factors that cause the tear trough region to age? - How do genetic factors influence the tear trough including skin colour, race etc - Are there preventative measures patients can take to slow down or prevent (to a degree) hollowness in this area? - What does a “bad” tear trough treatment look like? - Why is this area/treatment often misdiagnosed? - Needle vs cannula techniques In celebration of our 150th birthday and as a nod to our listeners and their feedback, we hope the introduction of this new series gives you a deeper dive into injecting and techniques. Our aim is to provide our listeners with as much value as possible whilst constantly evolving our content as our IA community grows.

| 21 Jan 2021 | Tim Boon (Director of Total Lifestyle Credit) - 'What patient finance is, how it works and why you might choose to utilise it to fund your medical procedure' #101 | 01:03:45 | |
Episode 101 hosts Tim Boon, the director of Total Lifestyle Credit (TLC). Tim has over 14 years of experience working in the patient finance world and has helped finance nearly a billion dollars worth of procedures. Patient finance in it's simplest form involves helping patients fund their medical procedures via loans. We find out just how affordable this can be, with payments typically broken down into weekly amounts to help people budget and manage their cash flow. This allows for people to have life changing surgeries (both cosmetic and medical) whereas in the past these may well have been cost prohibitive. We learn about what protections are in place for customers and how TLC acts as a middle man between the surgeon and the patient when it comes to the financial arrangements. We also discuss how clinics can access finance to refurbish or perhaps upgrade their lasers or devices, traditionally an extremely expensive and prohibitive barrier to most clinic owners.

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.

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'.

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!
