STOP GUESSING. START TESTING. START GROWING.
You're a great aesthetics practitioner. You've invested thousands in training, developed your clinical skills and worked hard to build your clinic.
So why isn't your business growing as consistently or profitably as you'd like?
Welcome to The Aesthetics Lab™, the podcast that does things differently.
Hosted by Dr Harry Singh, aesthetics clinician, educator and entrepreneur with over 20 years of industry experience, this isn't another podcast filled with generic marketing advice, business theories or motivational soundbites.
It's a real-world business laboratory for aesthetics practitioners.
Harry puts his own clinic, training academy and business strategies under the microscope, testing ideas, challenging conventional wisdom and measuring what actually happens.
From attracting more of the right patients and converting enquiries into consultations to improving retention, increasing profitability, using AI and building a business that doesn't consume your entire life.
Some experiments succeed. Some fail. You'll learn from both.
Each episode delivers practical insights, honest findings and actionable experiments you can implement in your own aesthetics clinic.
Expect three types of episodes:
🔬 THE HARRY EXPERIMENT™
Real business experiments conducted by Harry, with the methods, findings and lessons shared.
🧪 THE LISTENER LAB™
Experiments you can replicate in your own clinic, with opportunities to contribute your results.
📊 THE RESULTS ROOM™
What happened, what worked, what didn't and what the evidence suggests we should do next.
Whether you're a dentist, doctor, nurse, dental hygienist, dental therapist or another qualified aesthetics professional running your own clinic, this podcast is for you if you're ready to move beyond collecting information and start creating measurable improvements.
No fluff. No unrealistic promises. No theory without implementation.
Just real experiments, smarter decisions and practical business growth.
YOUR CLINIC IS THE LABORATORY.
YOUR BUSINESS IS THE EXPERIMENT.
YOUR RESULTS ARE THE EVIDENCE.
🎧 New episodes weekly, typically 5–20 minutes.
TEST IT. IMPLEMENT IT. MEASURE IT. IMPROVE IT.™
