Hamilton Fraser Cosmetic Podcast HFIS group

Dr Chadha is Director of Acquisition Aesthetics training academy, an award-winning educator and a top ranking plastic surgeon. She also co- founded AUCC, a non- profit, aesthetic charity conference, and is the medical director, founder and owner of a number of clinics in London specialising in non- surgical aesthetic injectable treatments.
We caught up with her behind the scenes at ABC 2023. Dr Chadha talks us through what inspired her to go into aesthetic practice, offers unique insights into finding a training provider that is the right fit for you, and shares tips on how she juggles being a busy mum and a plastic surgery doctor.

Having owned three dental practices and with over 21 years’ experience carrying out facial aesthetics, Dr Singh, Founder and CEO of the Botulinum Toxin Club, is a leading light in the aesthetics sector.
Dr Singh led the session on ‘the 8 As of the patient journey’ at ABC 2023. We caught up with him behind the scenes, where he shared his story and the mistakes he’s made along the way.
Listen in to find out how he made the transition into facial aesthetics and to hear his top tips for success – from patient retention to balancing the clinical and business aspects of aesthetics, avoiding common pitfalls, keeping motivated and avoiding burnout, and much more.

Award-winning cosmetic doctor, aesthetic injectables trainer and expert in advanced procedures, Time Clinic’s Medical Director, Dr Bawa, is a regular guest speaker on the international stage.
We caught up with him at ABC 2023, where he led the session on ‘how to start your business’. Tune in to hear his tips – from making the transition from the NHS into aesthetics, marketing advice and how to use photographs in consultations and manage patients’ expectations, to what he would have done differently, how to future-proof your business, and much more.

We caught up with Professor David Sines behind the scenes at ABC 2023. Chair of the JCCP and the leading national expert on the new regulations, David led the national review on education and training standards for the non-surgical sector in England. Listen in to find out all you need to know about the proposed regulations and licensing scheme - described as the ‘biggest shakeup in a generation’.
From top tips to stay informed and compliant, to when the new legislation will come into effect and how you can future proof yourself as the aesthetics sector becomes more regulated, David has the answers you are looking for.

Our annual Aesthetics Business Conference (ABC) – the UK’s premier dedicated business conference for aesthetic practitioners - returned for its sixth year on 19 September 2023.
ABC 2023 was the first opportunity for the sector to learn about the major legislative changes and licensing scheme coming to the sector, in our medicolegal sessions with the Joint Council for Medical Practitioners (JCCP). 
The carefully selected industry speakers never fail to deliver, and this year was no exception. From getting started in aesthetics to managing the patient journey, choosing the right training for you, marketing tips, insurance and how to prepare for the new regulations, ABC had it covered.

In this episode of Aesthetics Unlocked we wrap up 2022, taking you on a whistlestop tour of the highlights of Hamilton Fraser’s podcasts.
