This recorded session captures a candid, discussion-led roundtable featuring a panel of senior Derma Medical trainers, focused on the realities of modern aesthetic practice. Rather than a structured lecture, the conversation is shaped around real questions submitted by practitioners, addressing the topics that are often left out of traditional teaching.

Throughout the session, the panel explores some of the most relevant and debated issues in aesthetics today, including whether patients are becoming more informed or simply more influenced by misinformation, which treatments are genuinely rising in demand, and whether the industry is shifting toward regenerative approaches over traditional fillers. The discussion also delves into complications that may be underreported, how to manage patient trust when outcomes don’t go to plan, and whether certain injectables or procedures are beginning to fall out of favour.

Drawing on years of clinical experience, the trainers share their perspectives on how their own techniques have evolved, the ongoing debate of cannula versus needle, and the challenge of achieving truly “natural” results in an increasingly commercialised landscape. Broader ethical and professional questions are also addressed, including appropriate patient age, decision-making in complex cases, and how the industry may develop over the next 5–10 years.

Expect honest insight, differing viewpoints, and reflective discussion grounded in real-world practice, offering a rare look at the kind of conversations that typically happen behind closed doors.
