Dr Jake Sloane & David Segal - What's trending in aesthetics (Chapter 12)' #304
Episode 304 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 12 we discuss the decline of HA filler use around the world and the rise of biostimulators. We then predict a future potential serious problem as a result of this new trend. We reflect on how these trends intersect with the continuing consolidation on the market and pressures on clinics, suppliers and the shifting role of pharma BDM's (reps). We then explore the ramifications of the FDA's decision to compounded GLP 1 medications in the USA. Finally we update our audience about our IA Competition draw (join us tonight on IG Live), new bonus content, and Dr Jake & David's upcoming travel plans. 00:00 Introduction 00:31 Exciting Announcements and Updates 01:28 Exploring Bonus Content and Collaborations 03:50 Trends in Aesthetic Treatments 05:36 Concerns with Overuse of Biostimulators 12:21 Regenerative Aesthetic Solutions 21:04 Counterfeit Devices in the Market 23:27 The Risks of Buying Aesthetic Products 23:55 Economic Pressures and Desperate Solutions 24:26 Counterfeit Products and Regulatory Support 27:25 The Role of Reps in the Changing Market 36:25 Compounded Drugs and FDA Regulations 43:10 Final Thoughts and Upcoming Content CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR PATREON FOR ON DEMAND EDUCATION & SUPPORT CLICK HERE TO BROWSE OUR IA OFFERS FOR DISCOUNTS & SPECIALS CLICK HERE IF YOU'RE A BRAND OR COMPANY & WANT TO WORK WITH US CLICK HERE TO APPLY TO BE A GUEST ON OUR PODCAST JOIN OUR LISTENER WHATSAPP GROUP & SEND US YOUR COMMENTS, SUGGESTIONS OR JUST SAY HI!
