In this episode, host Don Adeesha sits down with Amy Engel, owner of Sweet Spot Medispa and a top 50 Evolus partner, to dismantle the most expensive phrase in aesthetics: "we've always done it this way." Amy argues that practices five, eight, and ten years in are bleeding margin to legacy vendor contracts, unprofitable services, and W-2 hires their summers can't support. Amy walks through the math behind her pivot from the Allergan bundle to challenger brands like Jeuveau, RHA Revance, Xeomin, Dysport, and Daxxify, pricing Botox at $14/unit and Jeuveau at $12, running the "Jeuveau Day" volume play that has booked 70 clients in a single shift, and using GLP-1s as a recurring-revenue engine that underwrites capital purchases like in-house skin analysis. She also explains why charging for injector training and defaulting to 1099 contractors protects practices from the hidden costs of free education and idle payroll. Her final warning to practice owners going into 2026: subtract before you scale. Drop services that can't pay for an advanced provider, drop fillers and toxins where newer competitors have better research and better rebates, and rebuild your top-of-funnel around Google reviews, the channel that turned a solo room into a top 14 national Evolus partner.
