About this episode

Dr Shobhan Manoharan is an internationally renowned cosmetic and laser dermatologist based in Brisbane, specialising in energy-based devices for medical and cosmetic dermatology. He is a key opinion leader for Solta Medical, whose portfolio includes Fraxel, Thermage and Clear + Brilliant.

We first define skin quality and explore how patients perceive their own skin, then move into laser technology: the categories of lasers, ablative versus fractionated lasers, what Fraxel is and how it works, and its uses for pigmentation, ageing and scarring.

We also cover the treatment process and downtime, combining Fraxel with injectables, when injectors should refer for laser, managing expectations, pricing and training.
