In this talk, Dr Tristan Mehta highlights the essential mindset and approach
to a career in aesthetics, and gives key insights for practitioners getting started on their journey to maximise their chances of success.”

What does the future hold for aesthetics post Covid? What is the impact of a global pandemic on our sector and what should we be doing differently in order to maximise opportunities while ensuring patient safety and peace of mind? Come and listen to a panel of experts discussing their experiences and find out ways to progress that you may not have previously considered
In March 2020 we entered our first lockdown in the UK and naturally there was huge concern in aesthetic practices about the impact it would have. In fact, there was an increase in the demand for procedures during the months that followed, as well as an increased demand for aesthetic training. So, it was time for innovation, creative marketing and increased digital services all of which now continue as we hopefully near the end of the pandemic. We all know about the effects of zoom face and maskne both for men and women! Do we need to diversify, offer new services, buy new equipment? What do we expect to see patients presenting with?
All these aspects will be discussed by the panel to help keep our practices relevant, current and most importantly profitable?
See you there….

PR & Marketing In Practice - Chaired by Alex Bugg
Julia Kendrick
With intense competition in the aesthetic industry and the challenge of increasingly discerning consumers, how do you establish and enhance your profile? In this session, award-winning business strategy and communications expert Julia Kendrick reveals how to utilise smart PR and marketing techniques in a multi-channel approach to engage, build and retain customers – starting with the building blocks of effective differentiation and driving upwards to a compelling social media and traditional press strategy. What are the key communications techniques that your aesthetic business simply won’t survive without? Come to this session to find out!
Alex Bugg
Do your treatment pages bring in as many enquiries as they can? Do they all use the same tone? How many of you enjoy writing your treatment pages?
Gold-standard treatment pages generate business 24/7 for your clinic. Converting website visitors to consultations isn’t easy, and pages can always be refined and optimised.
This session is perfect for clinic owners or clinic managers who want to improve the copy on their website. Alex often speaks to clinic owners who don’t have time to write their treatment pages, so often cut and paste manufacturer texts – or worse still – leave off pages about their new treatments until they get around to it! Treat. You’re a practitioner, not a writer; you need to be equipped to write or brief a professional.
In this session, you’ll learn:
- Why treatment pages matter
- How to the right tone for your clinic
- How to structure your treatment pages to make them sing
- Why a house style can save you hours of writing time when you add a new treatment to your menu
- Where to add Calls To Action to generate leads
- What social proof is, and how to weave it into your pages
The result? Clear, easy to read treatment pages which will be uniform, answer questions your visitors have, provide SEO benefits and, most importantly, drive more enquiries!

Expert Clinic

BIA-ALCL is a real entity, which we medico-legally inform our patients about. However there are still a lot of controversy, and unknowns about it. My concerns are that clinicians are making "informed decisions" based on bad science. I will be discussing these controversial issues and why I still believe in the implant I use.
