Chapter 2: What are biostimulators and how do they differ from fillers?
I'm like, no, I can fill them out when I get there.
That whole like, come in 10 minutes early to fill out a form. Yeah. That's what we want. Yeah, a paper form.
I don't need all these emails and notifications and say, you haven't filled out your form, you haven't done this. I fill out the fucking form when I get into the office. Yes.
It pisses me off. Yeah. And going on medical appointments, we used to go to our doctor and go, you might need a referral. And they would refer it to the doctor.
Chapter 3: How do biostimulators work to promote collagen and elastin production?
Yeah. And then the doctor will call you and go, hey, we've just got your referral. Let's book you an appointment. Now it's like, here's your referral. And then you've got to send it via an email to the specialist that you're seeing. And then you've got to call up. Yeah. There's another step in there now. Yes. It's like, oh.
It's just like the life. Can we just go back? To the good old days when there weren't apps and forms and all these BS for everything and we just need to simplify our lives. When we were building our house, the electrician was like, oh, do you want to put in, I think it was called Seabus or something.
We had that.
Something like home automation system and do you want to do this? And I'm like, why would I want that? Oh, because you can turn on your lights and your heating before you even arrive home and you can turn the pool on and get it warm and all these things to automate your life. And I thought, well, that's going to be a pain in the ass because...
there's going to be system updates, it's not going to work. And it was like $30,000, right? And then you know that with the advances in technology, that all that investment in five, 10 years, there'll be something else that's updated. Like now you can just do like a, hey, Alexa or whatever, and they can do it for you. But all of these extra things, I'm like, no, hear me out, electrician.
I want a plain old light switch, like the ones that we used to have in the 80s and 90s that you just go over and with your finger, you turn it off and off. That's all I want.
Yep, I'm the same.
He's like, oh, really? But you can... I'm like, no, I don't want all the connections. I don't want the apps. I don't want the headaches. I don't want the service guy having to come over and update the freaking software because, of course, we can't turn the lights on. We can't turn the heater on because the system's gone dead. No, give me a freaking light switch.
That's all I want.

Chapter 4: What potential risks and side effects should patients be aware of?
We had it all put through the system. We've still got it all through the building. And yeah, there's always issues. Always. And it costs so much money, right? And like we got it when it was like first started. So we paid top dollar for it. Yeah. I think it's all right now. I haven't heard Val complain about it. Maybe he swapped it over already. I don't know. But yeah. He's got Alexa now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I don't know. Yeah.
She's cheap. Yeah, she's cheap. Yes. No, I agree. I agree. Do you know what I miss?
What?
And I used to do it for my mum and mum said it and I wish this happened to me because I'm so bad because I forget my passwords for everything because I'm constantly changing passwords. So anyway, it comes with apps for school and emails, all of that stuff. And obviously having three kids, having a lot of kids, there's just so much life happening.
Like you said, I just miss the days where the kid used to write in the diary about Tuesday is pupil free day or like Friday is free dress day. Bring a dollar coin in for red nose. That's it. Just the kids to write it. It teaches them how to like schedule into their diary.

Chapter 5: How can patients manage expectations for aesthetic treatments?
Yeah. The diary comes home because we've got to sign it anyway. Yeah. Comes home, we look at it and go, oh, okay, tomorrow is this. Yeah. That's all you want.
You don't need the forms, the permission forms that come from the schools every day, the consent form to go to the incursion at school or the excursion or the whatever. It's like just tick the box, yes, my kids are allowed to go to everything for the whole year. Yeah, yeah. That's it. If you're listing schools, don't bother sending any more forms. The Judds are in. So is the Roberts. We're in.
In. Unless it's 5.30 in the morning, I have to get up and take you to Run Club Scarlet. That's not happening. And you know the funny thing is I didn't sign the fucking forms and I still take my kid. So I don't know why I'm signing the forms. Why do I need to sign the forms? She's going to go and do it anyway. How many times I've not signed the forms?
And then I've gone, shit, that excursion was on Thursday. Scarlett, did you go to the zoo on Thursday last week? She goes, yes, mum. So I had the sports because she makes my lunchbox. And I was like, oh, I've just seen the reminder. I never signed it. They still took it. So why do we have a fucking form? Sorry. They still take them.
So, guys, today we are having one of our really good friends on. He's the owner of Flawless in Hampton and Toorak. He's also one of the head emergency department physicians across Alfred Health. So, yes, when you're in big trouble and your life needs saving, this guy, he's the one. He is.
We do call him at 2am in the morning sometimes, like, our kids sick, what do we do?
Yeah. So, you know, like Alfred Health in Melbourne, if you're not from Victoria listening, is the major trauma hospital here. It's big. In the past, it's had its own TV show. And Sean, he's often the guy meeting the helicopter as it choppers in these people who are really, really unwell. And he's also on that show. Yeah, a lot of multi-traumas, big car accidents. Sean's out there at the helipad.
He's the first guy they see and he literally is saving lives and he's been doing this for so long. Plus, he's also, yeah, into aesthetics and has his flawless clinics. And we've been lucky enough. We actually met him through school. He's a school dad. Yeah. We go to his clinic. We are customers and clients there. And we have partaken in many a biostimulator in the last, what, 18 months?
Oh, yeah. Two years? Yeah. Four different ones on Friday.

Chapter 6: What factors influence the effectiveness of biostimulators?
Today, it's all about biostimulators. This is the buzz product. Everyone wants to know about it. It is confusing because there's so many different types, salmon, jizz, hyaluronic injections, you name it. So Sean's going to break it all down. Yeah, dumbify it for us.
Welcome to Vainish, Dr. Sean. Thank you, Jess. So good to have you in here. So let's talk about your qualifications.
Talk yourself up, mate.
Let the world know how fabulous you are.
Not quite that fabulous, but I am a full-time emergency physician at the State Trauma Centre and I work across the emergency department and the trauma unit. And then in my spare time, I am medical director for Flawless Rejuvenation, which is a full-service sort of skin clinic, one location in Hampton and one in Toorak.
In your spare time, you just run these aesthetic medical clinics. In your spare time. And you do heaps of training as well, right?
Yeah, I do a fair bit of training and run a couple of courses about safety in the cosmetic industry. And then, yeah, I try and attend as many conferences as I can a year to keep abreast of what's happening in this rapidly changing environment of cosmetics. So, yeah, it's a fun industry to be in.
It's really interesting because a few years ago, when you're talking about aesthetics and injectables, it was anti-wrinkle and filler. And that was pretty much it. And then in the last couple of years, all of a sudden, all the talk is biostimulators. Yeah. So we thought, Sean, that we wanted to get you on because you inject all of these. You're trained in it. You train people on how to do it.
Yeah. So we had Dr. Cara MacDonald in to talk about fillers and we thought let's get biostimulators covered and we thought you were just the perfect person to do so because you're across it all.
