This week we sit down with Gilbert Saenz, III, a Physician Associate based in Austin, TX with a 20-year career spanning Family Medicine, Dermatology & Plastic Surgery. Because he’s spent the bulk of his career on both sides of the Aesthetic coin in Derm & Plastics, his expertise combines a deep knowledge of the skin with a thorough understanding of what lies beneath. He’s thriving in one of the most competitive markets in the US, Austin, TX, which is no doubt a biproduct of his skillset and his approach to treating patients like family!
But as his patient base and the industry evolves, he’s not sitting still! He’s become a pioneer of body procedures, specifically Aveli, a precision cellulite release device he’s using to effectively treat cellulite in addition to a combination of biostimulators and other treatments to fight skin laxity (wait until you hear about the structural sandwich!). While he’s still very focused on the face, the writing is on the wall- GLP-1s have created a massive disruption in the marketplace, and those injectors who hope to retain patients and grow their market share must quickly up-skill on body procedures!
We cover a whole host of topics throughout this podcast, but if you came for body insights, you are in the right place! And, if you leave wanting to know more, join Gilbert at Aesthetic Next 6.0 for a lecture on post-weight loss procedures, a live onstage demo of Aveli, and an all-star panel where our faculty discuss their approaches and perspectives on key cases.
In this episode, Gilbert and Tiphany discuss:
1. Integrating ultrasound at the Point-of-Care for Aesthetic procedures
2. The revolutionary impact of weight loss treatments on the aesthetics industry & adjunct treatments that satisfy patients and boost your P&L
3. Innovative cellulite treatments, including the Avéli device, with proven results
4. Strategies for building and maintaining a loyal patient base
5. The importance of continuing to innovate with new protocols that leverage the unique mechanisms of existing products
6. Insights into working as an intrapreneur vs. starting your own medical spa
7. Sneak peek into upcoming presentations at Aesthetic Next 6.0 conference
8. The 411 on his patient-focused podcast with fellow Aesthetic Providers, Plastic Surgery Untold, and how it helps create a sense of community before they walk in the door
