Ethics has been an integral part of the SEASON and Global Aesthetics Alliance meetings since their start nearly nine years ago.

We’re glad to see other congresses now adopting this too.

In this year’s Ethics of Aesthetics sessions at SEASON 2023 Dubai we covered two very key topics - with perspectives that can only come from a non-commercialized, science-based meeting…

🔑 INJECTABLE SAFETY including the role of fake products, social media and industry-driven events in promoting unsafe practices.

🔑. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE aka - beyond the hype, hopes and promises to the truth of what this means for our present and future in aesthetics.

To all who’ve said this was our best SEASON meeting yet and the best conference they’ve ever attended - we also found it completely inspiring, and are so glad to have spent these three intense and wonderful days together. 🙏🏼

Until next time!

👉 SEASON Washington - April 27-29, 2024 including full-day Hands-On Cadaver Course at George Washington University.

👉 SEASON London - June 7-9, 2024 including 3D Anatomy Immersion with Live Demonstrations.

Is there an age limit on wanting to look as good as you feel - to look in the mirror and see the real you smiling back?

For this lovely 80-year-old, sudden weight loss had wreaked havoc on her face. She wanted a nonsurgical solution with no down time.

Fat grafting could have been a good option here, but she had very little body fat for harvesting due to the weight loss.

🔑 I've injected PLLA in two sessions to restore skin quality, redefine her jawline, smooth wrinkles and contour her cheeks.

🔑 Stimulation of new collagen gives pore tightening and a radiant skin glow.

🔑 Results get better and better with time.

We have more treatment sessions planned in this beautiful aesthetic journey!

Wow Wednesday!

By request, here are the side-view results of the lovely lady whose transformation we saw yesterday.

🌟 A double chin is often hereditary and becomes more pronounced with time.

🌟 Problem areas like this tend to be resistant to dieting and exercise.

🌟 The advantage of liposuction is that it permanently removes unwanted fat cells.

🔑 The tumescent liposuction technique was brought to the United States and refined by dermatologic surgeons. It has now been adopted by qualified specialists.

🔑 Tumescent technique enables chin lipo to be performed comfortably with just local numbing and an immediate return to normal daily activities.

🔑 Addition of laser lipo helps remove unwanted fat and tightens the skin.

🔑 Full face and neck neuromodulator aka Botox or Dysport includes Nefertiti neck lifting and pore tightening.

Nearly three years older, and aging in reverse!

A stunning glow-up for this timeless beauty with customized no-downtime treatments that stimulate new collagen and elastin, restore facial contours and rebalance overactive muscles...

🌟 Photofacials with IPL intense pulsed light and rediofrequency to reduce spider veins, control pigmentation and tighten pores.

🌟 Brush tip exfoliation with skin epi-infusion for skin polishing, pore tightening and even skin tone.

🌟 Layered fillers to the temples, cheeks, jawline, chin and lips to shape and sculpt the whole face, and improve under-eye circles.

🌟 Precision neuromodulator with my technique for shaping, eye opening, wrinkle smoothing, lip flip, Nefertiti neck lift, pore tightening and skin radiance.

🔑 All these treatments work together to produce collagen and elastin Results get better and better with time as the laser and fillers work together to stimulate new collagen and elastin!

Every day is Mother’s Day !

Another beautiful aesthetic journey with carefully combined, no-downtime treatments:

🌟 Precision-layered fillers to the forehead, temples and around the eyes to perfect facial contours, shape the brows and improve dark eye circles.

🌟 CO2 laser mini-peel to even the skin tone, smooth acne scars and tighten pores.

🔑 Results get better and better with time as the laser and fillers work together to stimulate new collagen and elastin!

Small changes can make a big difference...

For this lovely 45-year-old, the key to tackling her submental fullness aka double chin is to understand the cause - a delicate chin that's set back relative to her nose and forehead. Unless this is addressed, no amount of fat removal will be successful.

🔑 I've achieved this beautiful rebalancing of her profile with less than half a teaspoon of filler to support her chin and jawline.

🔑 Crucial, but often overlooked, is to put some of this filler over the part of the jaw bone (mandible) that runs up in front of the ears. By volumizing the lateral midface fat compartment, this slims and contours the entire cheeks and jawline.

🔑 I’ve added a touch of neuromodulator aka Botox to shape her brows.

She's happy enough with this result not to proceed with the liposuction or lasers we've discussed for further under-chin sculpting.

Friday Inspiration 💡

Three years older... and he's told he looks at least ten years younger!

This has been a carefully planned aesthetic journey that honors his wish for treatment that's effective with no down time:

🌟 Microfocused ultrasound to lift skin on his neck, lower face and cheeks.

🌟 Layered fillers to the chin, jawline, cheeks and temples to sculpt and slim his face.

🌟 Fillers to soften lines on the forehead, around the eyes and around the mouth.

🌟 Neuromodulator aka Botox to smooth the forehead, tighten pores, contour the chin and for Nefertiti neck lift.

🔑 All these treatments can stimulate new collagen and elastin and combining them gives a beautiful Aesthetic Synergy!

Thanks to for this candid memory, taken from the audience during one of the sessions I coordinated at the 2023 IMCAS International Master Course on Aging Science World Congress.

Audiovisual specialists like the assisting me here one are often the unsung heroes of our educational work. Without them, we couldn't do what we do!
