About this episode
This episode was recorded at ICCE (International Cosmetic Congress and Exhibition) in Cairo, Egypt, in September 2025. Dr Jake and David were invited as the conference's resident podcast, the first time a podcast has held that role at an aesthetic conference.
In the second of our ICCE episodes, South African dermatologist Dr Ishaan Ramkisson explains what a holistic approach to aesthetic treatment means in practice, and why individualised treatment planning matters.
We discuss aesthetic considerations for patients using GLP-1 medications and Ozempic face, gender-specific treatment, cultural considerations when talking to patients, choosing and using biostimulators including PLLA technique, the role of devices, and blending injectables with other treatments for the best results.
