Ep 239 The Injector Diaries (Chapter 17) | Nicky McKellar

Episode 239 hosts Nicky McKellar (Nurse Practitioner based in Charleville in remote Queensland, Australia) Nicky joins us in the 17th Chapter of our series called 'The Injector Diaries'. These episodes feature in depth conversations, stories and experiences from injectors around the globe. Each injector brings their own unique take on things and we showcase every level of type of injector, from newbies to masters. We'll explore how and why they chose to inject, why they favour using certain products, look under the hoods of their clinics and aim to inspire our injector listeners. 00:00 Welcome to Inside Aesthetics 01:20 Patreon updates and webinars 02:32 Meet Nicky McKellar 03:14 Life and work in remote Queensland 05:25 Nurse practitioner journey 07:50 Why injectables in the outback 13:35 Training pitfalls and better pathways 17:09 Launching a lean clinic model 23:33 Who books treatments and what sells 25:03 Collagen stimulators and time limits 27:36 Finding education and community support 32:57 Advice for new injectors 35:35 New regulations and solo safety planning 37:18 Considering GP co-location and referrals 38:31 Ultrasound in an isolated setting 38:41 Ultrasound Costs Reality 39:34 First Consult Approach 40:56 Building Treatment Plans 43:47 Choosing Toxin Brands 44:43 Filler Preferences Feel 46:09 Quality Versus Cost 48:44 Rural Competition Marketing 52:13 Future Work Balance 55:21 Pricing Guilt Margins 01:01:13 Systems Websites Booking 01:03:01 Complications Close Calls 01:05:56 Listener Favorites Offers 01:07:40 Final Question Farewell ALL IA LINKS & CONTACT INFORMATION
