The Inside Aesthetics team
Dr Jake Sloane
Co-founder & Co-host
Dr Jake worked in both the UK and Australian public health systems for a decade before dedicating his time to facial aesthetics. He was a surgical trainee and had extensive experience in colorectal surgery, oncoplastic breast surgery and trauma management.
He first trained in facial aesthetics in 2008 and now has over 16 years of experience. Since moving to Australia he's become internationally recognised for his work and as a thought leader in the speciality.
Dr Jake is a Global Key Opinion Leader for Allergan Aesthetics, the world's leading aesthetic brand. Having been identified as an outstanding injector, he was mentored by Dr Mauricio De Maio from 2020-2022. He is now a global expert teacher of the MD Codes technique. In 2024 Allergan selected Dr Jake to participate in the 'R.IS.E. programme'. Here 14 of the most talented faculty in the Asia-Pacific region were up-skilled both virtually and in China. The purpose of the programme is to allow Dr Jake to educate more injectors globally.
Dr Jake is also as a national trainer for Profhilo (bio-remodelling filler), Rejuran (marine-derived polynucleotides) and is one of very few injectors in Australia who incorporates aesthetic ultrasound into his practice.
David Segal
Co-founder & Co-host
David has been involved in the aesthetics industry since 2007. He started importing lasers from China before co-founding the hugely successful Cosmos clinic.
He was then invited to become the General manger for Laser Clinics Australia, now the world's largest chain clinic with over 250 locations.
Turning his attention to the surgical world, in 2012 David then co-founded The Cosmetic Institute (TCI), another industry disruptor that became Australia’s largest and fastest-growing cosmetic surgery clinic brand.
Over the next decade David became the owner of four laser and skin clinics, employing more than 70 therapists and injectors at its peak.
In 2022 David sold his clinics to focus on becoming a business mentor for clinic owners and injectors.
Whilst non-medically trained, David is fiercely passionate about the aesthetics and its ever expanding intersection with wellness. He authored “Skin - The Essential Australian Guide”, published by Fairfax Media.
David is also an internationally-recognised Bonsai tree artist and his work is often showcased at Australian as well as global exhibitions.
