Episode 319 hosts Dr Ishaan Ramkisson (Dermatologist from Umhlanga, South Africa).

This is the second of seven episodes recorded at ICCE (International Cosmetic Congress and Exhibition) in Cairo, Egypt. Dr Jake and David were honoured to be invited to the event in September 2025 and in doing so, IA became the first podcast in the world to be resident at an aesthetic conference.

In Chapter 2 of these episodes we explore what a holistic approach to aesthetic treatments means in practice and emphasis the rile of individualised treatment planning. We discuss some of the aesthetic considerations for patients using GLP-1 medications, insights into gender-specific treatments, cultural considerations when talking to patients, and the importance of blending injectables with other treatments for the best results.
