  • "The biggest step forward in practical automation for the end user that I think I've seen in the industry … HERO is becoming HEROic."

    Appearing individually on previous episodes of The Technology of Beauty, Sciton CEO Aaron Burton and EVP Robbie Brindley return to the show together with an altogether earthshaking announcement: that Sciton has not only improved upon, but somehow transformed what Dr. Stevens has famously dubbed "The Bentley of Lasers."

    The culmination of 8 years of testing, engineering, research, and development, the BBL HEROic is a breakthrough pulsed-light device featuring Intelligent Control and Skin Positioning technology.

    As for the difference it makes, Robbie explains how before "you'd step on the foot switch and you'd try to move your hand as quickly as possible to cover the area uniformly."

    But with HEROic, the handpiece communicates with the source to see in time and space exactly where the operator has laid a pulse. With "no skips, no gaps, no double pulses," the computer and the skin positioning system deliver perfect uniformity while adapting to the body's curvature as well.

    Find out how this new device promises to redefine the landscape of pulsed-light technology and ensure optimal results for every laser patient on the latest episode of The Technology of Beauty.

  • "60 million women in the US alone have cellulite. And even if we winnow that all the way down to who can afford it, who's so bothered to do something about it, we're still talking about 6 million women."

    For all of the many successes in the beauty business, efforts to address cellulite have most commonly resulted in failure. That doesn't alter the fact that women want a solution for beauty below the waist — and it looks like Revelle Aesthetics CEO Caro Van Hove has an answer in the Avéli cellulite reduction device.

    Revelle maintains that "Avéli delivers a long-term reduction in the appearance of cellulite in the buttocks and thighs for a wide variety of women, covering the full spectrum of cellulite complexity."

    In what amounts to an effective one-time treatment for cellulite, the procedure is minimally invasive and can be performed by mid-level providers as a standalone treatment or by surgical providers in combination with other procedures.

    Get a sneak peek at the "exciting ideas" Caro and her team of engineers are working on, and watch Dr. Grant Stevens demonstrate the Avéli device itself, all on the latest episode of The Technology of Beauty.

  • "I think fat is the future. It's the largest source of adult stem cells in the body, and it's the lowest hanging fruit."

    Out of all the topics we've covered as we approach our 100th episode of The Technology of Beauty, regenerative aesthetics might be the most exciting of them all. Just imagine telling a patient, "We can remove excess fat from your thighs and use it to make you look younger and healthier."

    Once the stuff of dreams, regenerative aesthetics may soon become a scientific fact. And according to Dr. Derek Banyard, CEO of Sayenza Biosciences, it could be here in a meaningful way as early as Q1 2025.

    The power of regenerative medicine lies in using the patient's own cells for autologous, personalized healing. Fat, while an abundant source of stem cells, must first undergo time-consuming processing, making it clinically inefficient for regenerative purposes.

    That's where Sayenza enters in. The company has developed an automated device that they claim will allow practitioners to process fat in under 15 minutes — creating a potent, ready-to-use therapeutic in a fraction of the time previously required. Proposed aesthetic use cases include hair restoration, skin rejuvenation, and post-operative wound healing, in addition to a wide range of more general medical applications.

    Tune in for a forecasted view of what the future holds for Sayenza, and regenerative aesthetics at large, on the latest episode of The Technology of Beauty.

  • Marketing to the patients already in an aesthetic practice represents a massive opportunity for brands and clinics alike — one that remains sorely underleveraged in a large majority of cases.

    The problem: How to cleanly and clearly promote the right offerings to the right patients at the right moment. There's no sense in advertising RF microneedling to a patient with an appointment for said service — but why not provide them with a physician-grade skincare option alongside a QR code for aftercare instructions?

    It's a pretty picture but, as most clinics quickly learn, seamless internal marketing programs are often a heavier lift than expected ... and we haven't even discussed the challenge involved in creating and curating all the necessary content to achieve high-quality patient education and cross-selling at scale.

    What if there was a way to simplify the process and deliver a customizable patient experience on a screen-by-screen basis? And what if this solution was completely free for aesthetic practices?

    In this episode of The Technology of Beauty, Dr. Grant Stevens welcomes Joe Schooler, Chief Product Officer at vrtly.ai, to discuss how his company is turning the world of in-practice advertising on its head by offering its AI-powered advertising platform at no cost to providers.

    Leveraging his experience at eBay, Amazon, Google, and Apple, Joe has helped transform FriendMedia into what vrtly is today, putting the idea into action that the screens in an aesthetic practice should be dedicated to showing only the content that is most relevant to each patient. Vrtly helps to improve patient retention by providing customizable, effective marketing profiles.

    Find out how vrtly seeks to build a harmonious relationship between practices and brands while "creating the world's best healthcare advertising network" on the latest episode of The Technology of Beauty.
