Inside Aesthetics Ep 180 The Injector Diaries (Chapter 8) | Kylie Duncan
Episode 180 hosts Kylie Duncan (Registered Nurse based in South Wales, Australia)
Kylie joins us in the 8th Chapter of our series called 'The Injector Diaries'. These episodes feature in depth conversations, stories and experiences from injectors around the globe.
Each injector brings their own unique take on things and we'll showcase every level of injector, from newbies to masters. We'll explore how and why they chose to inject, why they favour using certain products, look under the hoods of their clinics and businesses and aim to learn from and inspire our injector listeners.
