Welcome back to Fill Me In: An Aesthetics Podcast! In this episode, hosts Jon LeSuer and Nicole Bauer welcome back 20-year aesthetic medicine veteran and Allergan National Trainer, Dr. Matt Pinto, owner of Vive Aesthetics and Wellness.

With decades of clinical experience, Dr. Pinto gives an unfiltered look at where the industry is heading as we look toward 2027. We break down the clinical pendulum swinging back toward multi-syringe dermal filler treatments, the game-changing arrival of the fast-acting Serotype E neurotoxin (Boey / EB-001), and advanced protocols for the hardest areas to treat on the face and neck (including Skinvive, hyperdilute Radiesse, and topical/injectable PDGF). Plus, the trio gets brutally honest about the business and financial hurdles of practice expansions, SBA loans, and standardized clinical photography.

In this episode, we dive into:

• Is Filler Back? Why the anti-filler pendulum is shifting back toward undetectable, multi-syringe full facial balancing.
• The New Toxin Era (Serotype E / Boey): What injectors need to know about rapid-onset, 28-day neurotoxins and handling toxin resistance.
• Mastering the Neck & Forehead: Managing high-risk forehead treatments, using PDGF for brow lifting/lines, and combining hyperdilute Radiesse with Skinvive.
• Dilution & Dosing Philosophy: The real math behind Botox vs. Dysport conversions and the dangers of 1:1 neurotoxin reconstitution.
• Clinical Photography & 3D Imaging: Breaking down the AURA 3D camera, RxPhoto, and iPad setups for consistent patient before-and-afters.
• The Reality of Practice Build-Outs: Construction delays, commercial bank loans, and the hidden costs of scaling an aesthetic practice.

Fill Me In: An Aesthetics Podcast | Episode 60

In this episode of Fill Me In, hosts Jon and Nicole sit down with InjectorBunny Erika Barry for an unfiltered look at clinical mastery, aesthetic entrepreneurship, and career longevity.

Erika breaks down what really goes into selling practices to Private Equity (PE), preparing a realistic 5-to-10-year exit strategy, and navigating the operational grind of Q4. We dig into high-level injection protocols and complication management, including treating the high-risk neck area, dissolving a stubborn Hyperdilute Radiesse nodule, periorbital rejuvenation with Redensity, and identifying lower-face filler migration. Plus, Erika shares raw advice on shutting down industry gossip, escaping device debt, and why keeping your ego in check is essential for protecting your patients and your license.

While Nicole and Jon are on a break, enjoy this Refill of Fill Me In: Episode #43.

Jon and Nicole dive deep into the world of aesthetics for clients 50 and older. We discuss the unique challenges and considerations when treating aged tissue, volume loss, and skin laxity that comes with environmental exposure and hormonal changes.

Whether you're an injector or a patient, we cover:

➡️Why the consultation is different for this demographic.

➡️The importance of honesty and empathy in setting realistic expectations.

➡️Why treating the skin integrity first is non-negotiable (lasers, biostimulators, microneedling).

➡️Avoiding common pitfalls, like injecting neurotoxins too low.

➡️Crucial health screenings: dental work and vaccines.

Plus, Jon's candid thoughts on new trends and misinformation in the industry!
