Inside Aesthetics

Episode 127 hosts Dr Tom van Eijk based in Amsterdam, Holland.

Tom is a globally-renowned cosmetic doctor and Holland's most famous injector. He left surgical training in 2003 to focus on injectables and by 2005, had begun teaching students. He is especially well known for his 'ferning' and lip 'tenting' techniques which he has presented all around the world. 

In many of our previous episodes we've speculated what a formal pathway in training in cosmetic injectables might look like - and so we found the only country who has done just that.

In 2019 in Holland, cosmetic injectables became recognised as a medical speciality and a training programme was created under governmental control. Tom gives his unfiltered opinion on this and tells us what led to these changes. We explore whether it was necessary and assess what Australian injectors could learn from the Dutch experience.

- Teleconsulting and remote prescribing for nurse injectors

- The death of Jean Huang in 2017 in Sydney, what came of this and what, if anything, came of this?

Episode 122 hosts Dr Steven Harris (Cosmetic Physician based in London, UK)

Steven has an international reputation for his approach to injecting. He strongly believes in treating the face holistically by respecting the anatomy and it's proportions. This is something that he has championed for many years and continues to advocate through his social media channels and to his patients.

This episode's main theme discusses fillers and the growing phenomenon of the over-treatment of patients. We discuss how and why this is happening, who's fault it is and what the implications are.

We debate how techniques like 'tenting' that he feels may lead to the issue of filler 'migration', the truth about filler longevity and Dr Harris' approach to dealing with poor filler results - including his 'Dissolving clinic' and how he uses hyalase.

To balance the argument, we also explore what the role of the injector really is and dig deep into what their duties are - are they artists, free to express their patients choices or should they only treat people how they see fit and according to their own aesthetic principles?

00:00 Introduction 01:04 Meet Dr Steven Harris 05:59 Transition From GP to Full Time Aesthetic Practice 10:56 Training Standards and Regulation Concerns 18:27 Rise of Dissolving Clinics and Patient Demand 26:25 Risks and Emotional Impact of Poor Filler Results 33:29 Who Is Responsible for Complications in Aesthetics 41:37 Importance of Artistry and Natural Facial Proportions 48:53 Understanding Tenting Technique and Associated Risks 52:09 Why Filler Can Last Longer Than Expected 59:04 Filler Spread Versus Migration Explained 01:07:16 Educating Patients and Managing Expectations 01:14:29 Role of Social Media in Driving Aesthetic Trends 01:21:52 Knowing Limits of Non Surgical Treatments 01:28:35 Safety First Approach and Saying No to Patients 01:37:03 Final Thoughts on Technique, Ethics and Patient Care
