Episode 318 hosts Dr Roya Zarmehr Zamin (Cosmetic Physician from Canada).

This is the first of several 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 1 of these episodes we re-visit the topic of aesthetic ultrasound. Roya is a world expert in both using ultrasound and teaching it's use to injectors. We assess where we are at with ultrasound, five years after it became mainstream in clinics.

Episode 317 hosts Jon Jacques (Social Media Expert & Founder of 'Viral Secrets' from Los Angeles, USA)

In this episode we do something a bit different by focusing on the poorly understood world of social media. Whilst injectors and aesthetic businesses all have profiles on the various social media channels, most people have absolutely no idea how to use them!

We learn from Jon about his early background as a professional magician and how he then changed course by working at a video advertising startup. It was in this role that he learnt how to leverage YouTube, Facebook and Instagram. He help grow the company to a $250 million valuation before being sold.

With this experience, he's helped numerous celebrities and companies as big as Disney to scale their online presence virally. Jon has an intricate knowledge of how the algorithms work, what strategies can be used and how to make content creation seamless.

Key topics we cover include what's important when making videos and reels, the value of authenticity vs chasing trends and the secret of batch content creation.

At the end of the podcast we announce an exciting competition where one lucky listener will win a $15,000 prize to participate in a viral marketing campaign:

Episode 315 hosts Dr Konstantin Frank (Aesthetic Doctor from Regensberg, Germany)

In 'The Tox Talks' episodes we feature expert injectors who have significant experience in using botulinum toxins. These episodes explore our guests experiences using particular brands, the evolution of their injecting techniques and we get special insights into the subtle nuances of getting the best out of toxins.

In Chapter 10 we talk about Letybo (made by Hugel, Korea) and how to get the best out of it. We discuss the unique properties of Letibotulinum toxin including its precision and reduced diffusion, which make it particularly effective for areas where precision can't be compromised.

The conversation also delves into the importance of combining treatments for comprehensive aesthetic outcomes and the business implications of using different toxins.
