About this episode

The Injector Diaries feature in-depth conversations with injectors from around the globe, from newcomers to masters. We explore how and why they started injecting, the products they favour and what happens under the hood of their clinics.

In Chapter 5 we meet Lori Robertson, a family nurse practitioner based in California, USA.

We discuss her move from ICU nursing to aesthetics, early training challenges, continuous education, becoming a trainer, the problem with short courses, building a comprehensive training programme, mentorship and time on tissue, when new injectors are ready to practise, patient selection and ethics, avoiding over-treatment, and balancing business growth with safety.
