Ep 123 Inside Aesthetics x Through Thick & Skin Swapcast! | Dr Jake Sloane & David Segal

Episode 123 is a swapcast! This week the roles are reversed as our hosts Dr Jake & David become the guests on the hugely popular US podcast 'Through Thick & Skin'. Hosted by Erin Jensen (Aesthetic Physicians Assistant) and her sister Megan Pattison (Experience Expert), the Through Thick and Skin podcast has similar synergy and goals to Inside Aesthetics. Erin and Megan showcase real, non-bs, safe and effective injectable treatments and tips on how to improve your skin. We discuss the birth of Inside Aesthetics and a little bit more about Dr Jake & David's back stories. We then contrast the fascinating differences between the medical aesthetic landscapes of Australia vs USA. We share our learnings and experiences on what COVID has taught us, how the industry has bounced back and where we are headed now - plus a few things that never change wherever you treat paying patients including high expectations, identifying red flag patients, how and when to say no and more! 00:00 Introduction 05:59 Starting the Inside Aesthetics Podcast Journey   10:56 Building the Podcast and Finding Early Guests   18:27 Partnership Dynamics and Complementary Skill Sets   26:25 Doctors Versus Business Owners in Clinic Success   33:29 Importance of Hiring the Right Team   41:37 Role of Social Media in Clinic Growth   48:53 What Defines a Med Spa Versus Cosmetic Clinic   52:09 Most Popular Treatments and Patient Demand   59:04 Post COVID Boom in Aesthetic Treatments   01:07:16 Why Patients Value Aesthetic Care Beyond Vanity   01:14:29 Global Trends and Differences in Aesthetic Practice   01:21:52 Managing Patient Expectations and Saying No   01:28:35 Training, Education and Industry Development   01:37:03 Future Podcast Ideas and Industry Topics ALL IA LINKS & CONTACT INFORMATION
