#unfiltered AESTHETIC TALK Live - With Lori & Gideon

Filler Fatigue, Migration, and the “Undo Trend” are taking aesthetics by storm… But is dissolving the solution—or just the start of a new problem?

Patients everywhere are hitting reset—erasing years of filler in pursuit of “natural beauty.” But behind the hype, injectors are asking the hard questions: Are we restoring harmony, or over-dissolving and creating new complications?

What You'll Learn:
  • Why “Filler Fatigue” Is Real – What’s driving patients (and celebrities) to dissolve in record numbers.
  • The Risks of Over-Dissolving – From hollowing to skin laxity, when correction creates new problems.
  • The Science of Hyaluronidase – What it really does to both injected and natural hyaluronic acid.
  • Natural vs. Neglected – How to balance patient demand for “undone” with your duty to preserve harmony.
  • Re-Filling After Dissolving – Best practices for rebuilding volume without repeating mistakes.
  • Case Studies – Real-world stories of filler dissolving gone right… and horribly wrong.
💡This episode will challenge your perspective, sharpen your decision-making, and prepare you for one of the hottest (and most controversial) conversations in aesthetics right now.

Every injector dreads it—the patient in your chair who suddenly goes pale… pain flares… mottling spreads… and you realize you’re in the middle of an aesthetic emergency.

What You'll Learn:
  • Anatomy is Key – Master the facial anatomy that can make the difference between prevention and a medical emergency—tissue layers, continuous facial planes, and high-risk vascular zones..
  • Neuromodulator Red Flags – Recognize and manage functional complications like dysphagia and peri-oral weakness, and learn how to minimize antibody resistance.
  • Filler Complications: Immediate vs. Delayed – From full-blown occlusions to late-onset inflammation, biofilm, and granulomas—know how to identify and respond in real time.
  • Delayed Onset Nodules & Reactions (DON/DOR) – Why they’re on the rise (viral triggers, vaccinations, dental work) and how to prevent & treat them fast with proven first-line therapies.
  • Vascular Occlusions: The Silent Stalker – Signs can appear up to 48 hours later. Learn new research on perforator artery vasospasms and the exact steps to take in the event of visual changes.
  • Other Modalities, Other Risks – Common pitfalls with threads, chemical peels, and energy devices—and how to avoid turning a routine treatment into a crisis.
  • Ultrasound for Emergencies – See how it can detect hidden filler, guide dissolving, and prevent repeat complications.
💡 This episode will give you the real-world skills, decision-making confidence, and “stay calm under pressure” mindset you need when seconds count.

Nitrous Oxide (“laughing gas”) is everywhere in aesthetics and anesthesia—known for its calming, euphoric effects. But behind the mask lies a hidden danger: for patients with silent genetic mutations, a routine procedure can spiral into a medical emergency.

What You'll Learn:
  • The B12 Breakdown – How Nitrous Oxide inactivates vitamin B12 and spikes homocysteine levels.
  • The MTHFR Mutation – Why up to 30% of patients carry variants that magnify risk.
  • High-Risk Populations – Who you need to identify before it’s too late.
  • The Non-Negotiable Safety Plan – Must-do steps for monitoring, oxygen backup, and patient protection.
  • Outpatient Screening Best Practices – What to ask, what to test, and how to integrate screening into your GFE.
  • MTHFR Contraindications – When Nitrous should never, ever be used.
💡 This episode will change the way you view “harmless” laughing gas, sharpen your screening protocols, and prepare you to protect your patients from the hidden risks of N2O.
