About this episode
London GP Dr Jigna Patel has a special interest in skin health and functional medicine, and takes a very different approach with her aesthetic patients.
We explore integrating holistic health into aesthetic practice: the brain-gut-skin axis, ethical issues in the industry, and a balanced approach to skin and overall health. Jigna shares the personal experiences that shaped her approach of looking at a patient's whole wellbeing rather than just treating symptoms.
We also critique overused treatments such as RF microneedling, the ethics of treating younger patients, weight-loss injections and facial support, probiotics and diet for better skin, and the challenges of functional medicine.
