Episode 311 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 14 our hosts Dr Jake and David explore:

• the global rise in the use of GLP-1 medications
• the impact of the 'Trump tariffs' with a huge price hike of Mounjaro (GLP-1/GIP medicine) in the UK - and the implications on the pricing of aesthetic products in the future
• Kris Jenner's recent facelift and whether not looking your age is the new 'normal'
• a new on label indication for Botox (platysmal bands of the neck) and why injectors can't afford to ignore this region

Episode 307 hosts Hayley Anderson (Registered Nurse from Perth, Australia)

This is the 4th chapter in our mini-series called ‘Disasters & Solutions’. Here we look at some of the unusual, difficult or outright disasterous outcomes for patients caused by injectables. We speak to the injectors who managed the case and go through what happened, step by step. We’ll learn about what might have been done to prevent the problem and what injectors can do in their own practice to be safer practitioners.    

In Chapter 4, we discuss Hayley's experience (on the other side of the needle as a patient) when she had a temple treatment with a hybrid blend of Radiesse, Belotero Revive and saline. She suffered a significant vascular occlusion and we hear about what happened, how it was managed and the lessons learned from the incident.
