One of the themes that came through strongly in our conversations ahead of CCR was the move away from treating one concern at a time.

Dr Gaby Prinsloo describes the shift as moving from “appointment-by-appointment correction to longer-term care.”

So what does that look like in practice?

Looking at skin quality, facial structure, biological ageing and the wider factors that can influence how a patient ages.

We explore the changing consultation in our latest article - link in bio.

Patients losing weight rapidly, particularly those on GLP-1 medicines, may be nutritionally depleted in ways that directly affect your outcomes.

Inadequate protein or micronutrient intake can affect healing, muscle mass, facial appearance and skin quality. And it sits alongside everything else going on systemically: insulin resistance and persistently high glucose increase glycation, which affects collagen and makes remodelling harder. Poor sleep, chronic stress and smoking all raise inflammatory and oxidative stress.

The value of asking is diagnostic, not advisory. A short review covering diet, sleep, stress, smoking, alcohol, weight change and weight-loss medication may explain poor healing, or a response to treatment that otherwise looks inexplicable.

It's common enough now to build into the consultation as standard.

Ahead of CCR 2026, we sat down with Dr Gaby Prinsloo of the iiaa and Dr Mayoni Gooneratne, former NHS surgeon and functional medicine doctor, to talk about what systemic health actually does to aesthetic results.

Are you asking about weight-loss medication at consultation yet? We'd be interested to hear how you're handling it.

What Longevity Really Means in Aesthetic Medicine What Longevity Really Means in Aesthetic Medicine Ahead of CCR 2026, we spoke to two clinicians shaping how the specialty thinks about ageing, evidence and the limits of good practice Skin longevity, regenerative medicine, biostimulation, preventative aesthetics and whole-person health are no longer...

Referral is rarely the thing that generates a complaint. Treating outside your competence frequently is.

A wider assessment does not mean a wider scope of practice. Recognising that the skin is an organ, and that its condition reflects more than what you apply or inject locally, doesn't turn an aesthetic consultation into a general medical clinic - and it doesn't require every practitioner to become a longevity doctor.

Where the expertise isn't there, the answer is referral, further training, or working as part of a multidisciplinary team.

Ahead of CCR 2026, we sat down with Dr Gaby Prinsloo, Medical Director at the iiaa, and Dr Mayoni Gooneratne, former NHS colorectal surgeon and a founder of the Society of Integrative Aesthetics. Dr Mayoni would like to see more candour across the specialty on exactly this point:
"Practitioners need to know their limits, refer appropriately, and collaborate when patients have concerns outside their expertise. This improves patient safety and outcomes, and helps build trust."

From where we sit, that's a risk management point as much as a clinical one. Read the full interview on our website - https://loom.ly/TAeCI5A

Ahead of CCR 2026, we sat down with two clinicians shaping how the specialty thinks about ageing, evidence, and the limits of good practice.

Dr Gaby Prinsloo, Medical Director at the iiaa, works where skincare science, clinical education and regulation meet - which gives her a clear view of the gap between what a product can be shown to do and what it's marketed to do.

Dr Mayoni Gooneratne came to the same conclusions by a different route: NHS colorectal surgeon, then functional medicine, now practising at the intersection of the two.

We asked them what skin longevity actually means once you strip the marketing language
away.

What came back covers:

✅ Why the consultation is getting longer
✅What "skin longevity" means clinically, and what it can't promise
✅ Why inflammation sits at the centre of it
✅ How to separate evidence for an ingredient from evidence for a product
✅Knowing where your expertise ends, and why that's a risk point as much as a clinical one
