Episode description

Episode 138 hosts Dr Nik Davies (GP & Medical Advisor for SILK Laser Clinics) and Dr Andreas Fox (Plastic Surgeon & Medical Director for Artisan Aesthetic Clinics).

Since June of this year, the largest states of Australia (New South Wales & Victoria) have been in harsh lockdowns and no injectable treatments have been allowed. But as vaccination rates slowly rise, preparations are underway for re-opening - but what will that look like exactly?

Injectors, clinic owners and practitioners may well be faced with some difficult decisions that have both financial and reputational implications.

A minority of clinics have controversially decided to go it alone and open despite the lockdown restrictions whereas the majority are awaiting for clear guidance from the government.

We'll be discussing:
- our guests backgrounds and their roles within their clinics

- what date clinics may get the green light to open again

- what differences exist between the end of lockdown in 2020 vs 2021

- our patients mindsets: is there heightened anxiety or the opposite, COVID-apathy?

- insights into what our guests clinics have been doing behind the scenes to prepare for living with COVID when we open up

- how injectors have been upskilling and training in the extended lockdown

- the pro's and con's of virtual teaching

- the question of vaccination passports: will clinics be asked to refuse entry to unvaccinated patients and their own staff?

- is there a role for rapid antigen testing in the aesthetic setting?

- will we see the incredible demand and surge for treatment bookings again?
