Episode 298 hosts Dr Jigna Patel (General Practitioner, London, UK). Jigna is a UK-based GP with a special interest in skin health, functional medicine and takes a very different approach with her aesthetic patients.
The conversation explores the integration of holistic health principles into aesthetic practice, touching on topics such as the brain-gut-skin axis, ethical issues in the aesthetics industry, and the need for a balanced approach to skin and overall health. Dr. Patel shares personal experiences that influenced her approach, emphasizing the importance of looking at patients' overall well-being rather than just treating aesthetic symptoms. The discussion also critiques overused treatments like RF needling, the ethical concerns of treating younger patients, and the far-reaching impacts of diet and lifestyle on skin health. The episode offers a thought-provoking perspective on the future of aesthetic medicine and the role of holistic practices in achieving better patient outcomes.
