• Grow Your Clinic While Maintaining Financial Sanity
    May 16 2023

    Let's face it, investing in laser and IPL equipment is not for the faint of heart.

    Equipment can often be more expensive than buying a couple of new cars, or half another home! So how do you grow your clinic and get quality equipment without lying awake at night worrying about how you're going to fund it?

    Join us to hear from Hiba Leondis, a qualified Beauty Therapist, Laser technician, Beauty educator and Post Graduate trainer.

    After a background in Applied Science and Health Management, Hiba found her passion for dermal therapies led her to the Beauty and Laser industry. She then became a qualified Trainer and Assessor with a desire to share her experiences and knowledge with others.

  • How to Create a Successful Laser Clinic With David Segal
    Feb 21 2023

    If you want to know how to run a successful laser clinic, the best thing you can do is learn from someone who's been there.

    Preferably someone who's the best in their field, and David is just that.

    David has been involved in the aesthetics industry since 2007 and now co-hosts the Inside Aesthetics podcast which is a leader in its niche.

    His first foray in the industry was to set up and run the hugely successful Cosmos clinic, now an institution for liposuction and the BBL treatment.

    David then co-founded another of Australia’s largest and fastest-growing cosmetic surgery clinics before turning his attention to the non-surgical world.

    He has owned four hugely successful injectable and laser clinics in both Sydney and Canberra, employing more than 70 therapists and injectors.

    Whilst non-medically trained, David is fiercely passionate about the aesthetics and its ever-expanding intersection with wellness.

    He authored “Skin - The Essential Australian Guide”, published by Fairfax Media.

    David is also an internationally-recognised Bonsai tree artist.

  • Key Considerations to Help You Decide What Laser to Buy with Cutera
    Nov 15 2022

    We get asked this question a lot. And the truth is that telling you what laser machine you should buy is like telling you what make and model of a car you need.

    There are literally thousands of devices available, and each meets a different need.

    The best machine for you depends on your needs. Do you need a basic model or do you need something with all the bells and whistles? (Heated seats and rear parking sensors if we are still going with the car example)

    What treatments are you planning to do both now and in the future? What are your customers asking for? The list of needs goes on…

    All of these questions come into play when searching for ‘what laser machine to buy’.

    That’s why we turned to Brett and Alanna from Cutera, who are sharing the key things to consider before making a purchase.
