    030: Leslie Fletcher | The Psychology Every Injector Must Understand

    Dr. Amanda Holden sits down with Leslie Fletcher, NP, one of the most influential educators in aesthetic medicine, for a deep conversation on mastery, psychology, and responsibility. As the founder of InjectAbility Institute and inventor of multiple patented and trademarked techniques, Leslie has shaped how injectors around the world think about safety, artistry, and education. They explore why aesthetics is as much psychological as it is technical, why consultation and follow up matter more than speed, and how injectors evolve through different stages of clinical growth. Leslie shares hard truths about misbranding, social media influence, and why investing time in education that does not directly generate revenue is essential for long term success. This episode is a powerful reminder that faces are not commodities and that holding time back starts with understanding the human behind the anatomy.   FOLLOW DR.
