Episode 289 hosts Dr Dean Berman (Global Medical Director of Alma lasers) from Vienna, Austria.

Dean joins us in the 26th chapter of our 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 showcase every level of type 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 aim to inspire our injector listeners.

Dean discusses his background, his journey from Israel to Vienna, and milestones in his professional career including roles at Merz, Croma, Galderma and now Alma. He shares his expertise into the dynamics of being a teacher and Medical director, the importance of medical education and pharmacological compliance. He also highlights the importance of maintaining passion and ethical standards in aesthetic medicine.
