Episode 149 hosts Dr Gavin Chan (Cosmetic physician based in Melbourne, Australia)
Gavin has worked in the field for over 16 years and he also hosts an extremely successful YouTube channel (under his clinics name 'Victorian Cosmetic Institute) where he explores injectables topics, controversies and more.
In this new series of episodes called 'Treatments & Regions Uncovered', we'll be drilling down into how injectors approach specific areas of the face, what techniques they use and what they've changed over time as they mastered the technique. We'll explore the patient perspective and get an understanding of their needs and complaints, as well as discussing any alternative treatment options that might be considered.
