Episode 335 showcases our hosts Dr Jake Sloane & David Segal.

In our 'What's trending in Aesthetics?' episodes we discuss popular topics doing the rounds on social media, issues being debated in injector forums or items showcased on the news. We'll cover controversies, big stories and themes that have got injectors and our industry talking.

In Chapter 16 we delve into the key overall trends that we predict will influence the year ahead. We discuss:

• The shift towards 'slow ageing' (long term planning and smaller but more frequent treatments)
• The rise of bio-stimulators vs traditional hyaluronic acid fillers - and whether this trend will balance itself out or not
• The rationalisation of devices in clinics - multiplatform devices vs multiple machines
• The professionalisation of aesthetics - getting serious about business and regulations
• The increasing sophistication of patients - how they are arming themselves with knowledge to pick and choose only the best injectors

We also share our HUGE news and the impending the launch of our new app called 'IA Community'. (Due out in March/April 2026) This new platform and app will bring together the entire aesthetics community including HCP's, business owners and brands for networking, support, advice, education, promotions, events and much, much more.
