Can a cap that emits specific light wavelengths truly reverse hair loss? In this episode of The Technology of Beauty, Dr. Grant Stevens sits down with John Oakley, CEO of REVIAN, to explore how their patented dual-wavelength LED therapy is transforming hair restoration. Unlike traditional laser devices, REVIAN's lightweight, cordless cap uses both 620nm and 660nm light to stimulate nitric oxide production, reduce inflammation, and block DHT—all essential to regrowing thicker, healthier hair.With over 60 patents and clinical data showing significantly greater efficacy than competing therapies, REVIAN is leading a new wave in non-invasive hair restoration. It's not just about technology—it's about results. Dr. Stevens and John both use the device personally, and over 55% of users are now women, thanks in part to its ease of use, cordless design, and drug-free, side-effect-free approach.John shares why this dual-wavelength, LED-powered system is more effective than traditional laser caps and how REVIAN's smart app brings real accountability to at-home treatment with a fully integrated therapeutic solution.In a powerful final segment, John opens up about his work in Guatemala with Unearth Hope, a nonprofit bringing basic healthcare to remote villages. His annual mission trips speak to a deeper commitment to healing—whether it's through light-based therapy or hands-on community care.

Can one device transform the future of fat grafting? Join Dr. Grant Stevens on this compelling episode of The Technology of Beauty as he welcomes Dr. David Kirn, the innovative mind behind the Orchid device—a cutting-edge, all-in-one system engineered to simplify and optimize the fat grafting process. Designed with both efficiency and predictability in mind, Orchid enables surgeons to harvest, purify, and re-inject fat using a completely mechanical, self-contained system that eliminates the need for centrifuges, decanting, or a complex setup.In this episode, David explains how his years in aesthetic surgery and a longstanding frustration with the inefficiencies of traditional fat grafting led to the development of this revolutionary tool. By using an FDA-approved absorbent material to remove oil and aqueous content, the Orchid device delivers a consistently high-quality fat graft with minimal waste and maximum viability. With each cycle taking only minutes, the system allows for fat grafting procedures to be performed in-office, significantly cutting down time and overhead for physicians while offering long-lasting, natural results for patients.David also shares insights into the FDA pathway, future product expansions, and how Orchid could position itself as a market disruptor—not just in facial fat grafting, but also in breast and body applications.

"60 million women in the US alone have cellulite. And even if we winnow that all the way down to who can afford it, who's so bothered to do something about it, we're still talking about 6 million women."For all of the many successes in the beauty business, efforts to address cellulite have most commonly resulted in failure. That doesn't alter the fact that women want a solution for beauty below the waist — and it looks like Revelle Aesthetics CEO Caro Van Hove has an answer in the Avéli cellulite reduction device.Revelle maintains that "Avéli delivers a long-term reduction in the appearance of cellulite in the buttocks and thighs for a wide variety of women, covering the full spectrum of cellulite complexity."In what amounts to an effective one-time treatment for cellulite, the procedure is minimally invasive and can be performed by mid-level providers as a standalone treatment or by surgical providers in combination with other procedures.Get a sneak peek at the "exciting ideas" Caro and her team of engineers are working on, and watch Dr. Grant Stevens demonstrate the Avéli device itself, all on the latest episode of The Technology of Beauty.» Apple Podcasts | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/technology-of-beauty/id1510898426» Spotify | https://open.spotify.com/show/0hEIiwccpZUUHuMhlyCOAm» Recent episodes | https://www.influxmarketing.com/technology-of-beauty/» Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/thetechnologyofbeauty/» LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-technology-of-beauty/The Technology of Beauty is produced by Influx Marketing, The Digital Agency for Aesthetic Practices. https://www.influxmarketing.com/Want more aesthetic insights?

"I think fat is the future. It's the largest source of adult stem cells in the body, and it's the lowest hanging fruit."Out of all the topics we've covered as we approach our 100th episode of The Technology of Beauty, regenerative aesthetics might be the most exciting of them all. Just imagine telling a patient, "We can remove excess fat from your thighs and use it to make you look younger and healthier."Once the stuff of dreams, regenerative aesthetics may soon become a scientific fact. And according to Dr. Derek Banyard, CEO of Sayenza Biosciences, it could be here in a meaningful way as early as Q1 2025.The power of regenerative medicine lies in using the patient's own cells for autologous, personalized healing. Fat, while an abundant source of stem cells, must first undergo time-consuming processing, making it clinically inefficient for regenerative purposes.That's where Sayenza enters in. The company has developed an automated device that they claim will allow practitioners to process fat in under 15 minutes — creating a potent, ready-to-use therapeutic in a fraction of the time previously required. Proposed aesthetic use cases include hair restoration, skin rejuvenation, and post-operative wound healing, in addition to a wide range of more general medical applications.Tune in for a forecasted view of what the future holds for Sayenza, and regenerative aesthetics at large, on the latest episode of The Technology of Beauty.» Apple Podcasts | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/technology-of-beauty/id1510898426» Spotify | https://open.spotify.com/show/0hEIiwccpZUUHuMhlyCOAm» Recent episodes | https://www.influxmarketing.com/technology-of-beauty/» Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/thetechnologyofbeauty/» LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-technology-of-beauty/The Technology of Beauty is produced by Influx Marketing, The Digital Agency for Aesthetic Practices. https://www.influxmarketing.com/Want more aesthetic insights?

Marketing to the patients already in an aesthetic practice represents a massive opportunity for brands and clinics alike — one that remains sorely underleveraged in a large majority of cases. The problem: How to cleanly and clearly promote the right offerings to the right patients at the right moment. There's no sense in advertising RF microneedling to a patient with an appointment for said service — but why not provide them with a physician-grade skincare option alongside a QR code for aftercare instructions? It's a pretty picture but, as most clinics quickly learn, seamless internal marketing programs are often a heavier lift than expected ... and we haven't even discussed the challenge involved in creating and curating all the necessary content to achieve high-quality patient education and cross-selling at scale.What if there was a way to simplify the process and deliver a customizable patient experience on a screen-by-screen basis? And what if this solution was completely free for aesthetic practices? In this episode of The Technology of Beauty, Dr. Grant Stevens welcomes Joe Schooler, Chief Product Officer at vrtly.ai, to discuss how his company is turning the world of in-practice advertising on its head by offering its AI-powered advertising platform at no cost to providers.Leveraging his experience at eBay, Amazon, Google, and Apple, Joe has helped transform FriendMedia into what vrtly is today, putting the idea into action that the screens in an aesthetic practice should be dedicated to showing only the content that is most relevant to each patient. Vrtly helps to improve patient retention by providing customizable, effective marketing profiles.Find out how vrtly seeks to build a harmonious relationship between practices and brands while "creating the world's best healthcare advertising network" on the latest episode of The Technology of Beauty.» Apple Podcasts | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/technology-of-beauty/id1510898426» Spotify | https://open.spotify.com/show/0hEIiwccpZUUHuMhlyCOAm» Recent episodes | https://www.influxmarketing.com/technology-of-beauty/» Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/thetechnologyofbeauty/» LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-technology-of-beauty/The Technology of Beauty is produced by Influx Marketing, The Digital Agency for Aesthetic Practices. https://www.influxmarketing.com/Want more aesthetic insights?
