In a market where medical aesthetics has become increasingly crowded and commoditized, many practices are unknowingly competing in a race to the bottom.

In this episode, Audrey Neff sits down with global branding strategist and luxury business expert Adam Haroun to explore why premium positioning may be one of the most overlooked growth strategies in aesthetics today.

Together, they unpack the dangers of discount-driven marketing, the psychology behind premium pricing, and what separates truly exceptional brands from practices that struggle to stand out. Adam shares practical insights on building perceived value, creating signature treatment experiences, elevating the patient journey, and developing membership programs that drive loyalty without relying on discounts.
