The PDGF Debate: Pressing Play on Growth Factors & Off-Label Innovation w/ Leslie Fletcher, NP-BC
Streams straight from the publisher. podnod never proxies or re-hosts episode audio.
Welcome back to another special live episode of the Fill Me In Podcast, recorded straight from the floor at Modern Beauty Con! In this episode, hosts Jon and Nicole sit down with 26-year aesthetics industry pioneer Leslie Fletcher, NP-BC—founder of the InjectAbility Clinic and the InjectAbility Institute.
Leslie pulls back the curtain on the most disruptive, trending, and controversial topics facing aesthetic injectors today. We dive deep into the legalities and clinical techniques surrounding Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF), discussing how to transition therapeutic data into cosmetic results safely via cannula, mitigate adverse events, and navigate the "politics" of regenerative aesthetics.
Leslie also shares her clinical breakthroughs with advanced neurotoxins, including her signature Microtox® technique for skin tightening and melasma improvement. Plus, we explore the crucial business systems that keep a high-volume medical spa thriving—from leveraging Medical Assistants to boost hourly revenue by thousands, to implementing a flawless "Image Review Session" protocol using 3D clinical photography.
Whether you are a new injector looking to build an authentic internal brand on social media or a seasoned practice owner getting your medical protocols in order, this episode is packed with clinical gold and practice management secrets you cannot afford to miss.
