  • Absolutely brilliant

    I have been to good training schools but they only cover the aesthetics side of things. This podcast has provided all the business and communication information that I needed plus the confidence that I was struggling to find. Really glad I’ve come across this podcast. Thank you Emily for being so thorough

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

From GP to Aesthetics Clinic Founder with Dr. Magdalena Bejma
Q: What is your philosophy on training new injectors?
Trainings should be rigorous and hands-on; use a mix of formal courses and real-world practice with models, emphasize safety, and encourage adapting techniques rather than copying; ongoing support post-training is valuable.
From GP to Aesthetics Clinic Founder with Dr. Magdalena Bejma
Q: How important is marketing and PR in attracting new patients?
PR and magazine features can boost visibility but do not guarantee new patients; the strongest growth comes from word of mouth, referrals, and authentic in-house content.
From GP to Aesthetics Clinic Founder with Dr. Magdalena Bejma
Q: What were the biggest challenges in growing your clinic?
Building a team, managing growth, choosing the right premises, and balancing family life; she advocates hiring slowly, firing quickly, and creating a flexible, self-employed model for part of the staff to reduce risk.
How to Integrate Hormones, Lifestyle and Ageing into Your Aesthetics Treatment Plans with Dr. Hazel Parkinson
Q: What advice would you give to practitioners who want to adopt a more integrative, whole-person approach but aren't sure where to start?
Start with learning the basics of conditions like PCOS and menopause, then incorporate structured questions into consultations and consider building a network of specialists to refer to as needed.
How to Integrate Hormones, Lifestyle and Ageing into Your Aesthetics Treatment Plans with Dr. Hazel Parkinson
Q: How do you incorporate lifestyle factors into treatment plans, and are patients open to that guidance?
Patients are generally open when approached with a holistic mindset; you ask targeted questions about sleep, stress, cycles, contraception, and daily habits, and you gradually integrate lifestyle advice alongside medical treatments.
