Well, I am a cosmetic dermatologist, so medical doctor, specialised in dermatology, which is many years of training.
And then since practising in dermatology, I've subspecialised mostly in injectables, lasers and procedural dermatology.
There's Nuceva, there's Relfides, there's Daxify.
So we're getting more and more of them in Australia and launching more to come.
So it's a growing area.
Latibo is another one I missed.
That's an excellent question because it's a topic of conversation at the moment about whether switching between brands potentially increases your chance of becoming resistant to the drug.
And there's no real evidence that it is a problem.
but it potentially exposes your immune system to multiple different proteins which are on the molecule and theoretically could increase your chance, but resistance is extremely rare anyway.
So it's probably not a problem, but it's mostly better to stick to one brand rather than switching and changing every time you have it.
But it wouldn't hurt to switch, you know, once and switch to a new brand to try it on.
But it's just good to know what brand you're actually putting in your face.
Yeah, it is a good thing to know.
And to know why they chose that brand too, because they are different.
They all work differently.
