Dr Ravi Jain & Dr Sophie Shotter - 'Profhilo Masterclass: How to get the best out of bio-remodelling treatments' #194

Episode 194 hosts Dr Ravi Jain & Dr Sophie Shotter, two leading aesthetic doctors from the UK. Ravi is an extremely experienced injector & cosmetic surgeon based in Harpenden. With over 20 years of experience, Ravi consulted as a KOL for IBSA (the manufacturers of Profhilo) for several years. He was part of the early advisory board meetings and has a wealth of experience teaching Profhilo.  Sophie is a multi-award winning cosmetic doctor based in both Kent & Central London. She is a KOL for Allergan Aesthetics and is a global expert in using their new biostimulator product, HarmonyCa. Sophie has a particular interest in treating and optimising her patient skin and has treated thousands of patients with Profhilo since 2016.  In this episode we re-visit the new bio-remodelling treatment, Profhilo. (Listen to episode 179 for the basic science & background to Profhilo) Having only been launched in Australia in August 2022, it's undeniably been incredibly successful so far. But as with all new products there is a learning curve  for injectors. We examine the hype and ask two experienced injectors for their views on how to best to use it. We explore: - Ravi's previous experience as a Profhilo KOL and how the early uses of Profhilo differed to the now on label technique - The core challenge of explaining to patients what bio-remodelling actually is (and why this new filler isn't a 'filler') - How to manage patient expectations with skin quality products - What patients report happens to their skin after using Profhilo  - The difference skin boosters, bio-stimulators and bio-remodellers - Whether there is an 'ideal' Profhilo patient or not - What patients experience after 1-5 years of having Profhilo and whether they continue to return for treatments  - Suggested protocols for optimal results  - Tweaks to the on label BAP technique and how to better tailor treatments  - Whether cannula has a role when injecting Profhilo  - Whether difficult areas like the under eyes and peri-oral lines can be treated with Profhilo    SUPPORT THE PODCAST: If you enjoy listening to IA every week and would like to help support the podcast in a small way, we have a simple donation option: Buy us a coffee   IA PATREON: Did you know that we have an online injectable education and business mentoring service called IA Patreon?
