Welcome back to Fill Me In: An Aesthetics Podcast! In this episode, hosts Jon LeSuer and Nicole Bauer welcome back 20-year aesthetic medicine veteran and Allergan National Trainer, Dr. Matt Pinto, owner of Vive Aesthetics and Wellness. With decades of clinical experience, Dr. Pinto gives an unfiltered look at where the industry is heading as we look toward 2027. We break down the clinical pendulum swinging back toward multi-syringe dermal filler treatments, the game-changing arrival of the fast-acting Serotype E neurotoxin (Boey / EB-001), and advanced protocols for the hardest areas to treat on the face and neck (including Skinvive, hyperdilute Radiesse, and topical/injectable PDGF). Plus, the trio gets brutally honest about the business and financial hurdles of practice expansions, SBA loans, and standardized clinical photography. In this episode, we dive into: Is Filler Back? Why the anti-filler pendulum is shifting back toward undetectable, multi-syringe full facial balancing.The New Toxin Era (Serotype E / Boey): What injectors need to know about rapid-onset, 28-day neurotoxins and handling toxin resistance.Mastering the Neck & Forehead: Managing high-risk forehead treatments, using PDGF for brow lifting/lines, and combining hyperdilute Radiesse with Skinvive.Dilution & Dosing Philosophy: The real math behind Botox vs. Dysport conversions and the dangers of 1:1 neurotoxin reconstitution.Clinical Photography & 3D Imaging: Breaking down the AURA 3D camera, RxPhoto, and iPad setups for consistent patient before-and-afters.The Reality of Practice Build-Outs: Construction delays, commercial bank loans, and the hidden costs of scaling an aesthetic practice.
