Many med spas spend heavily on attracting new patients while overlooking one of the biggest growth opportunities already inside the practice: the existing patient base. Sustainable esthetic practice growth doesn't come from acquiring more patients alone—it comes from creating an experience that keeps them coming back. In this episode, I sit down with Abby Honaker, President of Partner Success at Pink Sky, to discuss how practice owners can improve patient retention, strengthen provider accountability, and create systems that support long-term growth. We talk about everything from provider utilization and compensation structure to treatment plans, patient outreach, and building a service experience that drives loyalty. Every Patient Interaction Should Move the Journey Forward One thing I constantly see is that medical aesthetics is failing to maximize each patient interaction. Whether it's recommending skincare, discussing future treatments, or helping a patient understand their long-term goals, every touchpoint is an opportunity for education and deeper engagement. The strongest practices don't treat visits as one-time transactions. They create intentional patient journeys with clear next steps, personalized care plans, and a consistent service experience that encourages rebooking and patient loyalty. When patients understand where they're going next, retention and revenue improve. Retention Is Built Through Systems, Not Hope Patient retention isn't accidental. It comes from clear processes, team training, and data-driven decisions. • Train providers and front desk teams on every service offered • Use targeted marketing and patient outreach to reactivate inactive patients • Build treatment plans that extend three, six, or nine months into the future • Track rebooking rates and provider utilization regularly • Create membership programs that support long-term engagement • Standardize scripts to improve consistency across the patient journey The practices that maximize revenue are often the ones that create predictable systems around the client experience. Providers Should Be Advisors, Not Order Takers Patients don't come to your practice because they're experts in treatment planning. They come because you are. That means providers should confidently recommend the care they believe will produce the best outcome rather than allowing patients to "order off the menu." Whether it's upselling skincare, integrating wellness services, or recommending additional treatments, education is part of delivering high-quality care. Avoid making assumptions about what patients can or cannot afford. Present the best recommendation, explain the value, and allow the patient to decide what works for them. Data Creates Better Decisions—and Better Outcomes Successful med spa practices combine exceptional care with strong operational discipline. As your med spa scales, creating a profitable exit—or simply building a more sustainable business—depends on having systems that support both the patient experience and financial performance. The goal isn't simply to add more services. It's to build a practice where every touchpoint strengthens loyalty, improves outcomes, and supports long-term profitability.

Send us Fan MailIn this special episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Dr. Jean Carruthers MD, FRCSC, FRC(Ophth), the pioneer of cosmetic botox, world Renowned cosmetic surgeon & award winning researcher. What began as an unexpected patient interaction ultimately changed the way the world thinks about facial aging, leading to the development of cosmetic botulinum toxin treatments that continue to shape the field today.Dr. Carruthers reflects on the remarkable journey from treating patients with functional eye disorders to recognizing an entirely new application for botulinum toxin. At a time when cosmetic options for expression lines were limited, the idea of selectively relaxing muscles to soften wrinkles represented a completely new approach. Yet the path from observation to acceptance was far from easy. Early presentations were met with skepticism, and it was rigorous research, clinical evidence, and persistence that ultimately transformed a controversial idea into one of the most extensively studied treatments in aesthetic medicine.Throughout the conversation, Dr. Carruthers emphasizes the role of curiosity in scientific discovery. Many breakthroughs, she explains, emerge not from certainty but from paying attention to unexpected outcomes and asking better questions. That mindset continues to guide her perspective on the future of aesthetics, from preventative treatments and regenerative medicine to emerging technologies that may change how outcomes are measured and understood.More than a history lesson, this episode offers a rare glimpse into the mindset behind true innovation. Listen to the full episode to hear Dr. Jean Carruthers share the story behind the discovery that revolutionized aesthetics, her perspective on the future of regenerative medicine, and why the most important tool in science may be an open mind.Read about Dr. Jean CarruthersDon't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!Support the show

In this episode, we unpack why aesthetic branding alone is not enough, and what makes a truly strategic brand transformation so much more powerful. Because a brand that simply looks polished is very different from a brand world designed to strengthen trust, recognition, authority and sales.This conversation explores why the branding process behind meaningful transformation cannot begin with trends, random inspiration or surface-level aesthetics. Instead, it needs to be rooted in positioning, perception, emotional resonance and long-term brand equity.Tune in to hear:Why beautiful branding is not always strategic branding.How positioning, perception and client experience shape the entire creative direction.Why this process is designed to build a brand world, not just a visual identity.What strategic branding changes in the way your business is experienced and remembered.Find the Complete Show Notes Here → https://sigmawmn.com/podcastIn This Episode, You'll Learn:The difference between aesthetic branding and strategic brand transformation.Why surface-level visuals do not create the same trust and authority as strategic positioning.How a complete brand world supports stronger recognition, client experience and expansion.Why less decision-making can often lead to a better and more effective branding outcome.Themes & Time Stamps:0:03 - Introduction: What Makes This Branding System Different0:22 - Branding That Changes How Your Business Functions and Is Perceived0:56 - 7+ Years Supporting Women in Business: Why These Offers Exist1:39 - How the Strategic Brand System Was Born (Client + Personal Experience)2:26 - Why Most Brand Designers Don't Think About Your Business3:23 - Beautiful Branding vs. Strategic Branding4:14 - How to Connect With a Higher-Calibre, More Invested Client5:30 - The Rule: Only Pay for What You'll Actually Use Every Day5:54 - Why Mood Boards and Logo Pages Won't Move Your Business Forward7:05 - Website, Flodesk, Social Templates & Link-in-Bio: All in the Package7:59 - Why We Help You Find and Vet Your Brand Photographer8:13 - The Art Direction Guide No Other Brand Designer Includes9:44 - Why We Don't Do Zoom Calls (And What Happened When I Paid $9K for a Logo)10:59 - Production Scheduling Experience You Won't Find in Other Studios11:11 - Real-World Deadline Accountability — What It Actually Means for You13:32 - A Done-for-You Brand World, Not Just a Visual Identity13:47 - Go Live the Week After: TikTok, Instagram, Pinterest & Emails Ready14:18 - Been Burnt Before?

Episode 353 hosts Dr John Delaney (Co-founder of Fresh Clinics) In this episode we explore the introduction of a new model of services for Australian aesthetic clinics called 'Fresh Health' - and its potential to reshape the landscape of aesthetics and primary care medicine. Fresh Clinics already support injectors with technology to ensure compliance, training and higher standards. But Fresh Health is their next evolution that allows cosmetic clinics to offer additional medical services including for weight loss, menopause and hair loss consultations. This model is referred to as 'hybrid healthcare', blending in-person nurse-led consultations with telehealth specialists. We discuss why Fresh Health was launched and how it will help improve holistic patient care - whilst reinforcing the business success of existing clinics. 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 00:32 What Fresh Clinics Does 01:29 Disrupting the Industry 04:01 Aesthetics Market in 2026 06:43 Trends Tox Filler Biostims 08:39 Why Fresh Health Started 11:08 Business Support Beyond Clinical 13:19 Fresh Health Explained 14:17 Hybrid Care and Patient Trust 25:23 Medicine 3.0 Optimization 29:33 HRT History and Misconceptions 32:38 How Hybrid Care Works 33:29 Nurse Telehealth Workflow 35:25 Wellness Meets Aesthetics 36:39 Whole Body Consultation Shift 38:22 Hybrid Care vs Online Only 40:12 Criticism and Governance 43:01 Peptides and Black Market Risks 46:44 Pricing and Subscriptions 49:51 Clinic Economics and Retention 51:54 Access and Rural Impact 54:50 Future Services Roadmap 57:30 Joining Fresh Network 01:00:11 Fresh Summit Wrap Up Links: Fresh Clinics (Australia) Fresh Clinics (USA) DOWNLOAD OUR NEW APP IA COMMUNITY: DOWNLOAD FOR APPLE DEVICES DOWNLOAD FOR ANDROID DEVICES THEN GET A FREE 30 DAY SUBSCRIPTION (after you've downloaded the app and signed up for free): FOR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS FOR BUSINESS OWNERS/NON-CLINICAL PROFESSIONALS
Host Don Adeesha sits down with Kara Kelly, CEO of Clinical HR, to tackle the people problems that quietly derail aesthetic practices, from the moment a clinician becomes a reluctant manager to the chaos of a private equity acquisition. Kara brings fifteen-plus years of direct experience inside med spas and medical practices, and she pulls no punches on the compliance traps that cost owners real money before they ever see an audit coming. The conversation goes deep on the W2 versus 1099 misclassification issue, one of the most widespread and expensive mistakes in the aesthetic industry. Kara walks through a real-world case where a five-location practice was hit with a $142,000 IRS penalty for misclassifying just 13 providers, explains why signed contracts and S-Corps offer zero protection, and outlines the SS-8 filing process and the step-by-step path to correcting classification before the letter arrives. Kara closes with her HR ETA framework, clear Expectations, the right Tools and Training, and consistent Accountability, as the foundation every practice owner needs before they hire their next team member, restructure their compensation model, or close on an acquisition. Her central message: the practices that build great cultures do not do it by reacting to problems. They do it by writing the rules before the game starts.
JUSTIN GAETHJE TOOK THE UNDISPUTED LIGHTWEIGHT TITLE ON THE SOUTH LAWN OF THE WHITE HOUSE, AND HALF OF WASHINGTON CALLED IT THE END OF CIVILIZATION. We start on the South Lawn, where a fighter nobody believed in won a world title on the Army's birthday, and we get into why the managerial class fears an open gate. Then we cross to Starmer's Britain, where speech is policed and a teenager dies in handcuffs while police chase a slur instead of a killer. We close with two guests on the fights closer to home.
Great patient experiences start with strong, self-aware leadership. In the world of medical aesthetics, providers are highly trained clinically, but leadership and team development aren't always part of that foundation. The result? Miscommunication, staff friction, and missed opportunities to build a truly high-performing practice. In this episode, Robin Ntoh is joined by Cheryl Toth of ACG Practice Partners, live from the Medical Spa Show, to unpack how leadership coaching is helping practices transform the way their teams communicate, collaborate, and perform. From DISC assessments to real-world coaching strategies, Cheryl shares how practices can turn self-awareness into meaningful action. Inside the conversation, you'll discover how successful practices: Strengthen leadership by building self-awareness and understanding behavioral stylesAddress communication breakdowns and reduce day-to-day team frictionDevelop emotional intelligence to better navigate high-pressure patient environmentsCreate a more supportive, resilient culture that benefits both staff and patientsTurn insights into action through practical coaching, goal-setting, and accountabilityThey also explore the unique challenge of balancing patient expectations with the realities of a medical business, and how leaders can create consistency, clarity, and calm in fast-moving environments. Whether you're leading a team, managing a practice, or looking to improve how your staff works together, this episode highlights practical ways to elevate both culture and performance.

Patient financing has become increasingly popular in medical aesthetics, especially during economic slowdowns and seasonal dips in demand. The problem is that many practices treat financing as a solution to slow sales when it should be treated as a financial tool. In this episode, I talk about where financing fits into a healthy med spa growth strategy, when it makes sense to offer financing options, and how to avoid the margin erosion that often comes with poorly structured financing programs. Financing Should Support Value—Not Replace It One of the biggest misconceptions I see is the belief that financing creates demand. However, offering payment plans won't solve the underlying problem of a potential patient misunderstanding the value of or not seeing the value in a treatment. Financing works best when the value proposition is already clear and the patient simply needs more flexibility around affordability. When teams lead with financing too early, they often skip the more important conversation around outcomes, results, and treatment benefits. Over time, that can weaken pricing power and train patients to focus on monthly payments instead of value. The Right Way to Offer Financing in Your Med Spa Financing can be a useful tool when it's applied selectively and supported by clear policies. • Reserve financing options for high-ticket services with healthy margins • Set minimum spend thresholds before financing becomes available • Use financing for treatments like body contouring, laser packages, hair restoration, skin tightening, and surgery financing • Avoid financing low-ticket services or already discounted treatments • Understand financing fees and how they impact practice margins • Train staff to sell value first and financing second • Monitor financing usage as part of regular executive financial reviews The goal is to use financing to accelerate a demand that already exists—not to compensate for weak sales strategy or pricing issues. Protecting Margins While Improving Affordability Every financing option comes with a cost. Depending on the provider, financing fees can significantly reduce profitability, especially on treatments with tighter margins. Before implementing a financing policy, understand exactly how those fees affect cash flow, treatment profitability, and overall financial performance. If financing is reducing margins more than it's increasing revenue, it's working against the business. As Your Practice Grows, Financing Offers Require Clear Boundaries The most successful practices use financing selectively. They understand which services can support financing costs, train their teams consistently, and monitor financing usage as part of regular financial reviews. When financing is aligned with profitability goals, it can improve affordability and support growth. When it becomes the default answer to every price objection, it often creates more financial and operational challenges than it solves.

There's a reason a lean, sculpted chest can still carry a stubborn bit of fullness right behind the nipple — and it's the one spot a thousand reps will never flatten. Dr. Hector Salazar-Reyes explains why glandular breast tissue in men sits exactly where it's hardest to hide, and why building up the muscle around it can make it stand out even more.Across the conversation with hostess Monique Ramsey, Dr. Salazar walks through the “polo shirt test” that tells most men whether they're a candidate, how he separates true glandular tissue from fat during the exam, and why steroids, certain medications, and even marijuana can trigger the condition long before middle age. Dr. Salazar divides the fix into two worlds: liposuction — including the high-definition version that helps the skin shrink and tighten — and direct excision, where the tissue comes out through a small incision around the areola. For the most severe cases, he reveals the “secret weapon” that flattens the chest completely and rebuilds the nipple from scratch.Hear what recovery really looks like, from compression garments to when weightlifters can pick the bar back up, and why nearly every man who finally does this says the same thing afterward: he should have done it years ago.LinksMeet San Diego plastic surgeon Dr. Hector Salazar-ReyesLearn more about male breast reduction in San DiegoQuestions answered by this episodeWhat is gynecomastia, and what causes it?What's the difference between true gynecomastia and chest fat?Can working out get rid of man boobs?Why does my chest look worse after I lose weight or build muscle?What is the “polo shirt test” for gynecomastia?Can steroids, marijuana, or medications cause gynecomastia?What's the difference between liposuction and excision for male breast reduction?How much does male breast reduction cost in San Diego?How long does it take to recover from gynecomastia surgery?When can I lift weights again after male breast reduction?About this podcastLearn from the talented plastic surgeons inside La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre, the 12x winner of the San Diego's Best Union-Tribune Readers Poll, global winner of the 2020 MyFaceMyBody Best Cosmetic/Plastic Surgery Practice, and the 2025 winner of Best Cosmetic Surgery Group in San Diego Magazine's Best of San Diego Awards.Join hostess Monique Ramsey as she takes you inside LJCSC, where dreams become real.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Beverly Hills plastic surgeon and Dr. 90210 physician Dr. Michelle Lee for a thoughtful conversation about beauty, body image, and the future of aesthetic medicine. Moving beyond social media trends and quick-fix procedures, Dr. Lee offers an evidence-based perspective on how patients can make more informed decisions in an increasingly complex cosmetic landscape.Drawing from her background in plastic surgery and her lifelong appreciation for art and aesthetics, Dr. Lee challenges the idea that beauty is synonymous with perfection. Instead, she argues that the most compelling results come from harmony, balance, and preserving what makes each individual unique. In an era of increasingly aggressive treatments and ever-changing trends, that perspective feels more relevant than ever.The conversation also tackles one of the most important issues facing modern aesthetics: knowing when not to treat. Dr. Lee shares her perspective on body dysmorphic tendencies, unrealistic expectations, and the responsibility practitioners have to recognize when a procedure may not be the right answer. As cosmetic interventions become more accessible, thoughtful patient selection and ethical decision-making have become just as important as technical skill.Dr. Lee also discusses the treatments she continues to trust after years in practice, why skin quality often matters more than people realize, and how regenerative approaches such as fat grafting may help shape the future of aesthetic medicine. Rather than focusing solely on immediate results, she encourages patients to ask a different question: how will this decision look ten years from now?Listen to the full episode to hear Dr. Michelle Lee discuss longevity aesthetics, regenerative medicine, body image, and how to make smarter, more informed decisions in a rapidly evolving aesthetic landscape.Learn more about Dr. Lee and PERK Plastic SurgeryDon't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!Support the showSupport the show

With the rise of social media, many of us have forgotten the true foundation of success in esthetics. Here at Beyond Esthetics, we aim to refocus on the most important aspects that truly create success now and in the long term - and social media will never be at the top of our list. Among many skills like touch, product knowledge and retail sales, there remains a skill beneath it all that is the most important skill to learn and master - CONNECTION. Without connection, there is no relationship and without relationship, there is no career. But most of us are not taught how to create connection or communicate. Today, we do a deep dive and we make it tangible. Many of the things we discuss today will be new, and many will be a reminder that we always need to hear. Connection is a skill that can be learned and we can't wait to share this episode and insight that will propel you forward on a long, joyful and fulfilling career as a beauty professional. Let's rise together!

An exploration of the concept of cultivation, as conducted on both the land and the body, which expands our understanding of it as practice, aesthetic, and ideology. In Cultivated: Plants, Hair, and the Aesthetic of Control (Yale University Press, 2026), Jeffrey Hoelle traces the imprint of cultivation across the naturally growing covers of the land and body—plants and hair. The book builds from research in the agricultural fields and cattle pastures at the edge of the Amazon rainforest to domestic landscapes and hair salons and shops in the frontier cities of Brazil and beyond. In spaces where the tangled forest once stood, clean pastures and ordered rows of crops now sit on properties with geometric edges. From rural spaces to immaculate lawns and cemeteries in the city, the imprint leads to the body, where hair, like plant growth, is cut, trimmed, and otherwise managed. Seemingly separate domains of agriculture, landscaping, and personal grooming are governed by a similar aesthetic of control. This unique pairing of land and body expands our understanding of cultivation as a practice and as an ideology that operates in frontier Amazonia—but also closer to home, influencing how we conceptualize and interpret the covers that grow on and around us, and our imagined relations with nature in the future. Hoelle argues that we must understand this system of thought and the overlooked role it plays in environmental destruction and social inequality. Jeffrey Hoelle is Professor of Anthropology at the University of California, Santa Barbara. His research explores the social, cultural, and political-economic dimensions of environmental transformation and deforestation in frontier Amazonia. He is the author of Rainforest Cowboys: The Rise of Ranching and Cattle Culture in Western Amazonia (UT Press, 2015) Yadong Li is an anthropologist-in-training.

In this episode of the Podcast for Social Research Anna Kornbluh and Kate Wagner consider the aesthetics of contemporary American fascism in a conversation moderated by BISR's Audrey Nicolaides. The fascism of the moment merges violent delight in destruction with nouveau riche vulgarity, middle class mediocrity, and internet meme culture. Despite incessant callbacks to the 1930s and continued deployment of classic fascist themes, contemporary fascism distinguishes itself from its historical predecessors by its speed, virulence, sites of production, and mode of distribution: the big, beautiful slop machine, hyper-capitalized, decentralized, and algorithmically determined. How does the aesthetic regime of contemporary fascism function? How is it rewiring the libidinal economy of the present, and stacking the deck for capital? What's specific to fascism in the age of polycrisis? What does it mean now to resist by "politicizing aesthetics," as Walter Benjamin once enjoined us to?

There are three big ways profit can distort reality: inaccurate revenue tracking, blended service margins, and poor cash flow visibility. Understanding these numbers helps you make better financial decisions as your practice grows. In my conversation with Jared Rohrer on his podcast The Patient Magnet, we get into why a positive net profit on your financial reports doesn't always mean your business is financially healthy—and why relying too heavily on that number can lead to costly decisions. Why Reported Profit Often Tells an Incomplete Story Profit only tells part of the story. If your revenue tracking is off or your liabilities aren't being accounted for properly, your financial reports can create a false sense of confidence. Track revenue based on when services are actually delivered—not simply when cash is collected. With beauty bank memberships, gift cards, and prepaid monthly subscriptions, upfront cash can look like strong recurring revenue when it's really future liability sitting on your balance sheet. This is how practices end up looking profitable on paper while carrying obligations that weaken cash flow and quietly reduce long-term business value. The Financial Metrics That Reveal What Profit Can't Looking beyond reported profit means tracking the operational metrics that show where profitability is actually being created. • Track accrual-based revenue separately from collected cash • Analyze service margins by category • Monitor provider utilization and revenue per hour • Measure revenue per square foot • Review membership redemption and liability exposure • Track cash flow independently from net profit These metrics make it easier to identify loss leaders, evaluate Botox margins against higher-margin laser treatments, and make stronger pricing decisions. Financial Visibility Requires Operational Ownership Financial reports should be operational tools—not numbers you avoid until there's a problem. Simple financial forecasting gives you visibility into cash flow, debt management, operating expenses, inventory needs, and upcoming obligations. That clarity helps you make decisions proactively instead of reactively. Financial Accuracy Becomes a Scaling Requirement As You Expand The larger your med spa becomes, the more expensive financial blind spots become. Misreading revenue, overlooking margin compression, or misunderstanding membership liabilities can quietly limit growth long before it becomes obvious on your financial reports. Med spas that scale well build financial discipline into their operations early. When you understand your numbers clearly, you create stronger systems for pricing, forecasting, membership strategy, and long-term growth.

A woman walks into the office holding her phone, points at a stranger's before-and-after, and says she doesn't want that result. Dr. Luke Swistun's answer is almost always the same: that isn't you. The photo shows someone with different tissue, different proportions, and usually a different surgery — none of which predicts where her own breasts will settle.Dr. Swistun is the explant expert at La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre, and women fly into San Diego from all over to see him. With hostess Monique Ramsey, he walks through a single real before-and-after — the same woman at two months, six months, and two years — and explains what's swelling, what's final shape, and where the nipple sits relative to the breast fold (the landmarks that drive every decision). He covers why some women need a lift, some need fat grafting, and some need nothing at all, plus a delayed lower-pole skin excision done under local in about an hour, and serial fat grafting that builds a full B with no implant at all. The conversation lands on the part most women aren't ready for: how different they feel once the implants are gone.His rule for anyone afraid of the scars: do less, because you can always do more. The woman in that progression took it — removed the implants, waited, then tightened a little skin under local — and told him afterward they look exactly like they did in high school.LinksListen to more breast implant removal episodes:Fat Transfer, What Could Go Wrong? with Dr. SwistunPlastic Surgeon Clears Up Capsulectomy Confusion with Dr. SwistunPatient Janelle: Why I Had My Implants Removed After 22 YearsMeet San Diego plastic surgeon Dr. Luke SwistunLearn more about breast implant removal (explant)Questions answered by this episode1.

Many aesthetic practices feel like they are constantly “doing marketing” without seeing consistent growth from it. Between social media, websites, patient communication, and in office promotions, it is easy to feel busy without knowing whether your efforts are actually converting into consultations, loyal patients, and long term practice growth. In this episode, Marketing and Advertising Manager Paige Hamilton and Partner and Director of Client Development Ana Suarez discuss the foundational marketing elements every aesthetic practice should have in place before investing in advanced campaigns or outside advertising. Together, they break down common missed opportunities practices face with websites, in office marketing, social media, patient communication, email follow up, and team training, while explaining how stronger systems and more intentional strategy can improve consistency, patient trust, and overall growth. ▶ Free Consult: Schedule your free 30-min consult with our expert, Jay Shorr, here: https://shorrsolutions.com/free-consult-new/
Hello voices from the bench community, John Wilson here and I wanted to share some news about the evolution of the Programill lineup. Most importantly, Ivoclar's new PrograMill 7. What stands out right away is the reduced air consumption this mill requires, but what you'll notice first is that impressive new touchscreen. For us, the biggest advantage has been increased spindle power. My laboratory's known for these larger cases with complex geometries, and I can tell you that extra power really makes a difference. Next time you see your Ivoclar representative, be sure to ask about the PrograMill 7 and tell them John Wilson sent you. Thank you. At exocad Insights in beautiful Mallorca, we finally caught up with Felix from Imagine USA—and the timing couldn't have been better. As an exocad dealer on the front lines of digital dentistry, Felix shared his excitement about the strong turnout, the familiar faces, and most importantly, the innovation coming from exocad. What stood out most? The new exocad Hub and its cloud-based capabilities, along with powerful AI-driven tools inside DentalDB designed for efficient batch processing. For Felix and the Imagine team, it's not just about seeing what's new—it's about putting it to the test. By running new features through their own production facility first, they ensure real-world performance before bringing solutions to their customers. Beyond the technology, Felix emphasized the value of being there in person—connecting face-to-face with partners, having meaningful conversations, and stepping back to see where the industry is headed. And of course, doing it all in Mallorca doesn't hurt either. This week Elvis and Barb are back at exocad Insights 2026 where the microphones captured two very different conversations that somehow landed on the exact same thing: passion still matters. First up, we sat down with longtime dental technicians and Oral Design International Foundation members Pinhas Adar and Javier Perez to talk about the legacy of the legendary Willi Geller and how one man helped elevate dental technicians from the shadows to respected members of the restorative team. From stories of learning under masters in Switzerland to building a worldwide family of 127 members across 34 countries, the conversation dives deep into friendship, mentorship, craftsmanship, and why face-to-face connection still matters in a digital world. They also share details about upcoming memorial and symposium events dedicated to carrying on Willi's philosophy of passion, respect, and sharing knowledge without ego. Then the crew caught up with returning guest Dora Rodrigues, who has gone from conversion queen to certified exocad trainer, full-arch educator, and lab owner running an increasingly digital workflow. Dora talks about finally bringing milling in-house, the terrifying learning curve that came with it, and how mastering workflows like split bars and partial CAD has completely changed the way she designs full-arch restorations. Between traveling internationally to lecture, teaching labs how to streamline their workflows, and still designing cases herself, Dora proves that digital dentistry still takes serious technical skill, problem-solving, and obsession with detail. It's an episode full of passion, legacy, technology, and the reminder that no matter how digital dentistry gets… the people behind it still make all the difference. Today's dental labs are under more pressure than ever — tighter turnaround times, staffing challenges, and nonstop production demands. That's why efficiency and reliability matter more than ever before. More laboratories continue turning to Roland DGA and the proven performance of the DGSHAPE DWX Series milling solutions to keep production moving smoothly. Reliable workflows help reduce downtime, minimize remakes, and allow technicians to focus on quality work instead of troubleshooting equipment. For labs exploring digital dentures, the Elevate Denture Solution offers a streamlined workflow with validated CAM strategies and Ivotion compatibility through hyperDENT software — helping labs adopt digital production without unnecessary complexity. Because labs don't need more stress. They need dependable systems that simply work.Special Guests: Dora Rodrigues, Javier Perez Lopez, and Pinhas Adar MDT, CDT.
Modern sports did not just change how people played; they fundamentally rewired how they lived, looked, and identified within a rapidly transforming world. The conversation with Murat Yildiz, an assosciate professor of history at Skidmore College, explores the high-stakes intersection of physical culture, social status, and the 19th-century quest for a new global aesthetic. Elite educational and military institutions utilized gymnastics and disciplined exercise to mold an upwardly mobile generation, using sports to reconfigure traditional social hierarchies. Meanwhile, the rise of photography helped normalize and spread a uniform corporal aesthetic, allowing young men from diverse backgrounds to adopt a standardized look of proper modern masculinity. Tracing a vibrant athletic awakening, the discussion follows how sporting culture rippled across urban centers, from Istanbul to Cairo, Beirut, and Jerusalem, signaling a deeper transformation in community, selfhood, and the shift from indigenous traditions to professionalized international play. 0:00 Introduction 1:39 Misconceptions of Athletics and Modernity 4:07 Professionalism vs. Amateurism in Regional Sporting Culture 8:41 Sports as a Tool for Capturing Urban Diversity 9:17 Educational Reformers and the Significance of Gymnastics 12:47 Sports as a New Modern Technology 18:53 Photography and the Global Corporal Aesthetic 21:56 Visual Normalization of Ethnic and Religious Identities 23:14 Sports and the Creation of New Militaries 26:13 Reconfiguring Class Hierarchies in Elite Schools 30:41 Spreading Western Sports: From Baseball to Soccer 32:21 Tension with Indigenous Traditions: The Case of Wrestling 36:40 Gendering the Ottoman World of Sports 41:04 Tracing the Regional Sports Nahda beyond the Capital 48:07 History as a Creative Conversation with the Past 52:02 Al Abtal Magazine and the Egyptian Physical Culture 56:53 Further Recommendations: Football, Books, and Film 1:01:56 Future Directions for Archival Research Murat C. Yildiz is Associate Professor of History at Skidmore College. He specializes in the cultural and social history of the modern Middle East. In particular, his research examines the intersections of sports, identity, the body, gender, and intercommunality in the late Ottoman Empire. His book, "The Ottoman World of Sports: Refashioning Bodies, Men, and Communities in Late Imperial Istanbul" (The University of Texas Press), examines how Istanbul's Muslim, Christian, and Jewish denizens created a shared sports culture during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He is an assistant editor for the Arab Studies Journal and serves as an editorial board member of the International Journal of the History of Sport. He received his Ph.D. in History from the University of California, Los Angeles and served as a Manoogian Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of History at the University of Michigan.

Recorded live at the Aesthetics Innovation Summit (AIS) 2026, Dr. Grant Stevens sits down with Audrey Neff of Aviva Aesthetics for a conversation about growth, disruption, and the evolving business models shaping the med spa industry.Audrey shares how Aviva is taking a different approach to consolidation through its entrepreneur-focused partnership model, allowing practice owners to maintain ownership while participating in the growth of a larger platform.

Hip programs are often used to create predictable cash flow, but recurring revenue alone does not guarantee profitability. Too often, practices focus on recurring revenue while overlooking the impact on margins, utilization, redemption behavior, and patient lifetime value. A strong membership program should increase profitability and patient value—not simply create discounts. Where Most Membership Models Start Losing Margin Many practices build memberships as a retention tool without fully understanding how they impact profitability. The biggest mistake is discounting services that already have thinner margins. While recurring revenue may look attractive on paper, profitability can suffer if patients are simply receiving discounts on services they already planned to purchase. Strong membership programs encourage patients to explore additional treatments, increase lifetime value, and create predictable utilization. The goal is not simply recurring revenue. The goal is profitable recurring revenue. The Membership Framework That Creates Better Financial Outcomes The strongest membership programs are built around intentional behavior design. Benefits should support your pricing strategy, encourage utilization of high-value services, and create opportunities for patients to engage more deeply with treatment plans over time. It's also important to track how members actually use the program. Are they trying new services? Are they increasing spend over time? Are they returning more consistently? In some practices, a loyalty or VIP program may create stronger financial outcomes than a traditional membership model. Exclusive access, preferred booking opportunities, and patient perks can increase retention without creating unnecessary discount pressure. Why Membership Data Matters More Than Membership Sales Selling memberships is only the beginning. The real value comes from understanding utilization rates, redemption behavior, patient retention, and lifetime value. Those metrics reveal whether your membership structure is strengthening profitability or quietly eroding it. When membership data is reviewed consistently, practice owners can refine benefits, improve patient experience, and create stronger financial outcomes without relying on additional discounting. As Your Med Spa Scales, Memberships Become a Financial System As practices grow, memberships become more than a marketing tool. They become part of the financial infrastructure of the business. Weak membership models can create hidden liabilities, capacity constraints, and margin pressure. Strong membership models create predictable revenue, support retention, and align patient behavior with the long-term goals of the practice. The most successful memberships are built as part of a broader financial strategy designed to support sustainable growth and enterprise value.

Photography Historian and Curator Audrey Sands joins PhotoWork with Sasha Wolf to discuss her book, Lisette Model: The Jazz Pictures (Eakins Press Foundation). Drawing on years of research, Sands presents Lisette Model's rarely seen archive of photographs of 1950s jazz legends, including Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington, Percy Heath, Miles Davis, and Dizzy Gillespie. Sands and Wolf discuss the rise of fine art photography as a collectible medium in the latter half of the 20th century, the role of museums and institutions in shaping the narrative of photographic history, and the role of the historian in editing and interpreting an artist's work posthumously. https://harvardartmuseums.org/about/press-media/audrey-sands-appointed-associate-curator-of-photography-at-the-harvard-art-museums https://www.instagram.com/audreyleesands/ Audrey Sands is a historian of photography and curator who specializes in twentieth-century American photography.. She holds a Ph.D. and M.Phil. in the History of Art from Yale University, an M.St. in the History of Art and Visual Culture from the University of Oxford, and a B.A. in Art History from Barnard College. Since February 2025, Sands has served as the Richard L. Menschel Associate Curator of Photography at the Harvard Art Museums, where she oversees a collection of approximately 75,000 photographs and time-based media ranging from the early 19th century to the present. Her appointment followed a postdoctoral fellowship as Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Curatorial Fellow in the Department of Photographs at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. (2022–25), during which she contributed to the exhibitions Gordon Parks: Camera Portraits from the Corcoran Collection (2024–25) and the multi-venue Photography and the Black Arts Movement, 1955–1985 (2025–26). Prior to the NGA, from 2019 to 2022, Sands held the Norton Family Assistant Curator of Photography position at the Center for Creative Photography (CCP), University of Arizona—a joint appointment with Phoenix Art Museum—where her exhibitions included Freedom Must Be Lived: Marion Palfi's America, 1940–1978 (2021–22) and Farewell Photography: The Hitachi Collection of Postwar Japanese Photographs, 1961–1989 (2022). Earlier curatorial positions include the Department of Photographs at The Museum of Modern Art, the National Gallery of Art, and the J. Paul Getty Museum. Sands has been the lead scholar on the work of photographer Lisette Model for over a decade, beginning with her Yale dissertation, “Lisette Model and the Inward Turn of Photographic Modernism.” Her most recent publication, Lisette Model: The Jazz Pictures (Eakins Press Foundation, 2025), realized a suppressed collaboration between Model and Langston Hughes that had been shelved during the McCarthy era, publishing for the first time nearly 200 of Model's approximately 1,500 jazz negatives alongside Hughes's original essay and new scholarship by Sands. Her ongoing research on flash photography—supported by a 2021 Curatorial Research Fellowship from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts—is developing toward a publication and exhibition titled The Shape of Light: History, Ethics, and Aesthetics of Flash Photography.
