We first came across Maggie on our closed FB group and Maggie's had a massive weight loss journey and after her procedures with Dr Matthew Peters looks absolutely amazing. She talks to us about her 8 hour operation, her recovery, using her Super to pay for her surgery, and lots of other things. This is a must listen to for any MWL patients.

We are constantly getting asked what the best products are to deal with scarring, whether it's after plastic surgery procedures, cesarean scars or any other type of scarring. It's one of the most asked questions on our closed Facebook Groups and here at the Hub. I caught up with Lynne from Strapharma recently to talk about two of their most popular scar gels, Stratamed and Strataderm.

Baldness and hair thinning is an extremely common problem, for some more than others, and at different ages and stages of life. Finding a more permanent solution than wearing a wig or painting on hair has been hard to come by but the ARTAS Hair Transplantation system is changing everything. At the recent ASCD 2018 Symposium I was able to catch up with Dr Mark Bishara from Restoration Robotics who...

One of the most popular questions patients ask is what can they use to minimise scars, or help with stretch marks during pregnancy.

We chatted about why their products work so well.

My daughter loves the Healite LED light treatment and so many surgeons I know have one in their clinic for their patients. I caught up with Joanna from Advanced Cosmeceuticals to talk about the Healite and why everyone wants this treatment and practitioners are offering it to their patients not just as a stand alone treatment but before and after surgery to maximise procedure results.

The recent ASCD2018 Conference was jam packed with devices and non-aesthetic treatments but one I was really interested in was the new body contouring device by High Tech Laser, ONDA. ONDA is helping to treat cellulite, fat reduction and skin tightening all in the one device which is just incredible. Not only that, but you need less sessions than usually required for these type of treatments. This...

Dr Caroline talks about the HCG diet, how diets actually work and what happens to our body during th...

I absolutely love catching up with Dr Jayson Oates - we always have the most interesting discussions about some often tricky subjects and this one is no different. Frenuloplasty is a procedure to treat Frenulum Breve, where the patient has an abnormally short frenulum or stretch of skin underneath the penis which can cause all sorts of issues. Dr Oates explains further...

Everyone knows I love great skin care, but I'm also really particular with what I put on my skin. I'd heard about Mesoestetic by Advanced Cosmeceuticals and couldn't wait to catch up with Joanna at the recent Australasian Society of Cosmetic Dermatologists (ASCD) 2018 Symposium to ask her all about it.

I attended the Australasian Society of Cosmetic Dermatologists (ASCD) Symposium last weekend and one of my favourite things to do at these conferences is to catch up with some of my favourite industry peeps. Kerry Lynch from NorthCoast Medispa, actually down the road from me in Byron Bay, and I had a chat about Beauty Industry Guidelines, Before and Afters, Selfies, Ethics and Aesthetics.

We've already labelled dermaplaning as the hottest treatment of 2018, but has your practitioner had the right training?

Lasers treat a wide range of skin conditions and are also one of the best ways to give your skin a non-surgical rejuvenation.

Chelle lost a huge amount of weight but was left with about 7kgs of excess skin that she says had nowhere to go and was like an apron over her front. She had a lower body lift with Dr Mark Magnusson and is thrilled with her results. She looks absolutely amazing and she shares her before and after photos with us.

Amber Renae loves the sun and even though she's always taken great care of her skin one day she looked in the mirror and felt like she looked "weathered". So she decided to do something about it, and had several treatments including the Erbium Laser, Ultraformer and Aquapure. She looks absolutely AMAZING - you've got to check out her before and after pics. I chatted to her about the process.

Dr Robin Chok is one of my favourite cosmetic surgeons - his results are some of the best in the industry and I visit him whenever I'm in Adelaide. I chat to him about the enCurve, a body contouring device getting some amazing results.

The Vampire Facelift was made famous by Kim Kardashian when she posted a pic of her face covered in blood. Since then this procedure has truly taken the world by storm, and Dr Caroline Taylor Walker from Medical Skin Clinic in Torquay says it's one of their most popular treatments.

From hair removal to skin rejuvenation, vein treatment to tattoo removal, lasers can do a wide range of non-surgical treatments.

I absolutely love Dr Naomi who is considered one of Australia's Injectables Gurus and she was one of my favourite interviews at the recent Non-Surgical Symposium 2018. Dr Naomi chatted to me about all sorts of things relating to injectables including the increasing popularity of the O Shot (improving women's orgasms) and the P Shot (penis enlargement).
