Hosts Jon LeSuer & Nicole Bauer sit down with the aesthetic industry veteran, Dr. Matthew Pinto (Vive Aesthetics), for a candid conversation about his nearly 20-year journey in medical aesthetics, from his accidental start in 2006 to building a thriving, multi-injector practice.

Dr. Pinto shares his unique perspective on the evolution of treatments—from old-school fillers and microdermabrasion to the latest techniques—and the impact of social media on patient education (and misinformation!). He opens up about his personal "why" for practicing aesthetics and the one patient quote that keeps him going.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

The Evolution of Aesthetics: Dr. Pinto's experience starting with CosmoDerm and the early days of Botox before HA fillers existed.

The Social Media Gripes: Why misinformation is rampant and the responsibility of injectors to educate and say "no."

The "Butthole Clincher" Moment: Dr. Pinto reveals his scariest injection area and his experience managing two vascular occlusions.

Building a Gold Standard Practice: The funny story behind his practice name, the value of cross-selling, and the critical role of aestheticians in his successful Med Spa, Vive Aesthetics and Wellness

Advice for New Injectors: The single most important thing to master to succeed in this industry.
