Episode 187 hosts Dr Jenny Kimmins, a GP and Cosmetic Physician based in Melbourne, Australia. Jenny is also the Chair of the Aesthetic Medicine course run by HealthCert.

Jenny joins us in the 10th 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'll 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 businesses and aim to learn from and inspire our injector listeners.

We discuss: 

• Jenny's background as a GP
• Her motivations for getting into the industry and the reality of burnout in the public health system 
• How she learnt to inject and the benefits of mentorship
• The difference between a medical & an aesthetic clinic 
• Continual Professional Development and her recent trip to Bangkok for Galderma's 'GAIN' event
• Her role as Chair of the Aesthetic Medicine course run by HealthCert
• What the Aesthetic medicine course offers 
• The difficulty in assessing competence of injectors & the challenges of training without a national consensus

We also ask every injector in these episodes: 

• What is your number one toxin and why? 
• What is your number one filler and why? 
• What is your go to cannula make/size and why?
• Aspiration - yes or no?! 
• What’s the biggest mistake that you’ve made and what did you learn from it? 
• What’s been the best book or course that has improved your practice the most?
