Episode 165 hosts Anusha Dahan, a nurse practitioner from Los Angeles, USA. Anusha joins us in the 6th Chapter of our mini-series called 'The Injector Diaries'. These episodes feature in depth conversations, stories and experiences from injectors around the globe. Each injector brings their own unique take on things and we'll showcase every level of injector, from newbies to masters.

We'll explore how and why they chose to inject, why they favour using certain products, look under the hoods of their clinics and businesses and aim to learn from and inspire our injector listeners.

In this episode, we explore:

- How we came across Anusha's work

- Her your career before injecting

- How and why she became an injector

- To date she's never trained other injector, we explore why and get some info on why this might be changing for a one off event

- How COVID changed her business

- What Anusha's style of injecting and philosophy is

- The art of 'natural' looking results - how exactly do you go about designing this?

- The ethical dilemma that injectors face when their own children question their beauty and ask for treatment

- What Anusha think of injectables trends like Fox eyes & Russian lips

- Her business model and the highs and lows along the way

- What an average day looks like for Anusha and how she manages this

- The struggles of being a solo injector and trying to 'do it all'

- What she's learnt as a result of this and what she now outsources

- The scope of her treatments and what she doesn't do

- How Anusha approaches her consultations

- How she runs her social media and her Instagram account
