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 21, Oslo cosmetic physician Dr Karim Sayed shares his journey from drummer to doctor, how he found aesthetics and how his drumming skills help his injecting.

We discuss toxin technique and non-responders, his clinic Nomi and the media storm around its launch, handling public criticism, fixing injector standards, politics and regulation, before and after bans, the Norwegian aesthetic, regenerative trends, the future of toxins, dose and dilution control, mastering the basics, social media pressure, subspecialisation, his favourite filler, vascular occlusion stories and ultrasound.
