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!

Welcome back to Fill Me In: An Aesthetics Podcast with Jon LeSuer and Nicole Bauer! In this episode, we are breaking down the seismic shifts happening in medical aesthetics as we transition from summer to fall.

Gone are the days of chasing viral TikTok filter trends, exaggerated lips, and isolated "one syringe" quick fixes. Today's patients are looking for undetectable, natural enhancements, full facial balancing, and honest, expert-driven guidance. Whether you are a newer injector trying to conquer imposter syndrome, or a seasoned provider looking to refine your product choices (from Voluma and RHA 4 to Radiesse and hyperdilute neck protocols), this episode is packed with clinical gold.

In this episode, we dive into:

Why "one syringe" treatments are officially out and full facial balancing assessments are in.

How to master the consultation: Moving past the fear of being "salesy" and stepping into your role as the expert.

Product choice breakdowns: When to pull for Voluma, RHA 4, and Radiesse for jawlines, cheeks, and marionettes.

The reality of lymphatic load and why recurrent HA filler in the cheeks can cause puffiness over time.

Advanced fall skin rejuvenation protocols: Combining BBL, Moxie, chemical peels, and topical PDGF for wound healing and hyperpigmentation.
