  Ep 359 What's Trending in Aesthetics (Chapter 18) | Dr Jake Sloane & David Segal 02.08.2026 49Min.

  Episode 359 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 18 we delve into four main topics: A new Australian study putting data behind the value of a proper patient consultation. The emerging research on GLP-1 agonists and their effect on facial fat and skin structure. The rise of 'treatment regret' - from filler dissolving to BBL and breast implant reversals, as the industry swings back toward more natural results. The practice of 'backfilling' or 'decanting' filler into smaller syringes, and the legal and safety risks injectors may not be considering. 00:00 Introduction 01:34 Four Trending Topics 02:52 Consultation Study And Key Findings 08:40 What Makes An Effective Consultation 11:13 Patient Psychology And Rapport 16:21 Full Face Assessment 19:29 GLP-1 Face Study Explained 24:06 Managing GLP-1 Patients 27:33 Fillers Vs Biostimulators 30:32 The Rise Of Buyer's Regret 32:48 Natural Results And Filler Perception 36:05 Social Media And Treatment Risks 38:08 Decanting And Backfilling Debate 40:18 Sterility, Ethics And Insurance 48:29 Wrap Up & Outro LINKS FROM THIS EPISODE: Consultation study GLP 1 study David Segal website DOWNLOAD OUR NEW APP IA COMMUNITY: DOWNLOAD FOR APPLE DEVICES DOWNLOAD FOR ANDROID DEVICES THEN ACTIVATE A FREE 30 DAY SUBSCRIPTION (after you've downloaded the app and signed up for free): FOR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS FOR BUSINESS OWNERS/NON-CLINICAL PROFESSIONALS

  Episode 358 hosts Dr Rob Weiss (GP from Melbourne, Australia) In this episode we explore the trending but highly controversial topic of peptides.  We discuss the background to these products, the growing demand from the general public and address the significant dangers of black-market peptides. Our guest explains how he educated himself about this niche speciality and his thoughts about why no significant studies or evidence exists for most commonly used peptides.  We learn about his approach to using peptides in patients with musculoskeletal injuries and his clear distinction between this approach vs people using peptides for self-prescribed 'looksmaxing' and  within the 'gym bro' culture. 00:00 Introduction 00:41 Peptides Episode Overview 02:06 IA Community App Updates 03:47 Meet Our Special Guest, Dr Robert Weiss 05:41 What Peptides Are 10:50 Why Peptides Went Mainstream 17:46 Evidence and Prescribing 22:59 GLP-1 Breakthroughs 28:41 Clinical Uses and Protocols 33:06 Safety and Misuse 34:55 Retatrutide Explained 37:20 Safety vs Hype 38:59 Black Market Risks 40:58 Compounding and Quality Standards 44:58 Biohacking and Peptide Trends 47:04 Regulation and Oversight 52:11 GHK-Cu and Skin Rejuvenation 58:27 The Future of Peptides 01:02:05 Evidence vs Anecdotes 01:06:09 Learning Resources 01:07:07 Wrap Up and Outro DOWNLOAD OUR NEW APP IA COMMUNITY FOR FREE: DOWNLOAD FOR APPLE DEVICES DOWNLOAD FOR ANDROID DEVICES Our free content includes: Inside Aesthetics podcast - listen to or watch every episode inside the app Conference Diary - browse every major event and booking links Aesthetic News - keep up to date with the latest stories  Invites to our live stream events - RSVP for our 1st Unfiltered LIVE with Julie Bass-Kaplan here THEN GET A FREE 30 DAY SUBSCRIPTION: FOR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS FOR BUSINESS OWNERS/NON-CLINICAL PROFESSIONALS

  Ep 357 The Tox Talks (Chapter 13) | Dr Jake Sloane & David Segal 16.07.2026 52Min.

  Episode 357 showcases our hosts Dr Jake Sloane & David Segal In our mini series 'The Tox Talks', 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 13 we review where we're at in the toxin market and what the implications are of having more choice. In Australia we've quickly moved from only three traditional choices (Botox, Dysport,and Xeomin) to seven (adding Letybo, Nuceiva, Relfydess, and Daxxify). This has resulted in clinical and commercial complexity for clinics and we delve into this new problem.  Patient demand, marketing pressures and questionable business choices have led some injectors to stock multiple brands - but maybe at the expense of reducing mastery, inconsistent results, poorer patient satisfaction and less profitability. We outline the common issues encountered when introducing new toxin brands whilst covering the business angles including inventory management, buying power, pricing, and communicating change with patients. 00:00 Introduction 00:41 Seven Toxins Overview 01:58 IA Community App Update 03:30 The Evolution Of Neurotoxins 05:01 Patient Demand And Choice 07:12 Comparing Seven Toxin Brands 11:13 Regulation And Off Label Use 13:54 Do Brand Differences Matter? 18:57 Stocking One Vs Multiple Brands 23:58 Switching Between Toxins 26:15 Preparing Patients For A Switch 31:09 Pricing, Bias And Value 32:52 Dose And Dilution Basics 35:39 Hyper Concentrated Treatments 38:06 Injection Technique And Anatomy 39:10 Business And Stock Management 44:02 Inventory And Cashflow Tips 48:52 Key Takeaways And Wrap Up DOWNLOAD OUR NEW APP IA COMMUNITY FOR FREE: DOWNLOAD FOR APPLE DEVICES DOWNLOAD FOR ANDROID DEVICES Our free content includes: Inside Aesthetics podcast - listen to or watch every episode inside the app Conference Diary - browse every major event and booking links Aesthetic News - keep up to date with the latest stories  Invites to our live stream events - RSVP for our 1st Unfiltered LIVE with Julie Bass-Kaplan here THEN GET A FREE 30 DAY SUBSCRIPTION: FOR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS FOR BUSINESS OWNERS/NON-CLINICAL PROFESSIONALS

  Ep 352 Understanding Ingredients in Skincare | Dr Tania Romano 11.06.2026 52Min.

  Episode 352 hosts Dr Tania Romano (Head of Medical & Education for SkinCeuticals & skinbetter science ANZ) In this episode we go on a deep dive into what actually works when it comes to skincare - whilst debunking what might just be good marketing. Tania cuts through an oversaturated market to explain why ingredient quality, concentration and pH matter far more than what some labels usually advertise. She then makes the evidence-based case for the some of the active ingredients that patient should consider using daily: Vitamin C and retinoids Our conversation demystifies antioxidants and free radicals, the science behind both CE Ferulic Vitamin Serum (made by SkinCeuticals) & Alto Defense Serum (made by Skinbetter Science), and why using a combination of ingredients and antioxidants trumps using Vitamin C on its own. Tania then explains the retinoid ladder and how retinoids drive collagen synthesis at the cellular level. She sheds light on why Alpharet (made by Skinbetter Science) wasn't available for several years in Australia and how to best use this product. We reframe the patient consult to improve patient compliance with home skincare and finally - David admits he uses beef tallow! 00:00 Introduction 01:20 Meet our Special Guest: Tania Romano 04:27 Skincare Market Overload 06:10 Cosmeceutical Vs Cosmetic 08:00 Vitamin C Formulation Secrets 09:26 Kids And TikTok Skincare 10:31 Education Vs Marketing 16:58 Top Three Evidence Based Actives 20:23 The Role Of Antioxidants 27:11 How To Use Vitamin C Correctly 32:02 Sunscreen And Skin Aging 35:14 Alpharet Returns To Australia 38:35 Understanding Retinoids 42:09 How Retinoids Build Collagen 44:35 How To Use Alpharet 46:02 Skincare As A Long Term Routine 48:00 How To Tell If A Brand's Science Is Real 49:28 Choosing Science Backed Brands 50:52 Conference Wrap And Outro DOWNLOAD OUR NEW APP IA COMMUNITY: DOWNLOAD FOR APPLE DEVICES DOWNLOAD FOR ANDROID DEVICES THEN GET A FREE 30 DAY SUBSCRIPTION (after you've downloaded the app and signed up for free): FOR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS FOR BUSINESS OWNERS/NON-CLINICAL PROFESSIONALS
