Are you feeling overlooked by traditional insurance-based medicine? In this episode of Fill Me In, Jon and Nicole sit down with wellness expert Megan Piersanti, DNP, FNP, to discuss how medical aesthetics is evolving to treat patients from the inside out.

From the surge of GLP-1 medications (Zepbound vs. Wegovy) to the myths surrounding Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), we dive deep into the clinical strategies that help patients lose weight safely while protecting muscle mass and improving cognitive function. Whether you're a provider looking to scale your practice or a patient curious about the "new wave" of wellness, this episode is packed with actionable medical insights.

MEET OUR GUEST: MEGAN PIERSANTI, DNP

Megan is a Doctor of Nursing Practice and the lead wellness provider at Exhibit Medical Aesthetics. She specializes in bridging the gap between aesthetics and metabolic health through personalized weight management and hormone optimization.

In this episode of Fill Me In, hosts Jon and Nicole sit down with Farah Gooch, founder of Aesthetic Social Club, to break down what actually works on social media for aesthetic injectors and med spa owners.

Farah shares her journey from nursing to building one of the most trusted content platforms in the aesthetics space. Together, they dive into Instagram marketing for med spas, including reels vs. carousels, trending audio, brand photo shoots, posting frequency, and how to grow your practice without spending hours doom-scrolling or burning out.

This episode covers:

• Social media strategy for aesthetic injectors and med spas
• How to balance personal vs. professional content (the 70/30 rule)
• What types of Instagram posts actually drive bookings
• Why branding your practice matters more than chasing trends
• AI in aesthetics marketing: tool vs. replacement
• Common social media mistakes providers are making right now

Happy New Year, everyone! Grab your heating pad and stay in your holiday PJs with us as we reflect on an incredible year in the aesthetics industry. In this episode, Jon and Nicole take a deep dive into the personal and professional highs and lows of 2025—from the "Year of Yes" to the reality of running a growing practice.

We’re getting vulnerable about the lessons that changed us, the skincare trends we want to leave in the dust, and the "unbiased education" we hope to see more of in 2026. Plus, Nicole shares the nerves behind her upcoming live cadaver injection, and Jon opens up about his personal journey with grief and growth.

In this episode, we discuss:

➡️The Power of Delegation: How a personal assistant and trusting a team saved our sanity.

➡️Pushing Comfort Zones: From public speaking to live stage injections.

➡️Aesthetic Trends to Ditch: Why the Hyaluron pen and "parking lot injections" need to stay in 2025.

➡️What’s Exploding in 2026: The rise of bio-stimulators and the focus on skin health.

➡️Personal Growth: Navigating new motherhood, business expansions, and finding your "posse."

➡️Our 2026 Treatment Plans: What we’re doing for our own faces this year (Skinvive, PDGF, and avoiding the "waxy" look).

Welcome back to Fill Me In! We're kicking off the holidays in our Christmas PJs for a special episode requested by one of Nicole's amazing patients.

Jon and Nicole dive deep into the world of aesthetics for clients 50 and older. We discuss the unique challenges and considerations when treating aged tissue, volume loss, and skin laxity that comes with environmental exposure and hormonal changes.

Whether you're an injector or a patient, we cover:

➡️Why the consultation is different for this demographic.

➡️The importance of honesty and empathy in setting realistic expectations.

➡️Why treating the skin integrity first is non-negotiable (lasers, biostimulators, microneedling).

➡️Avoiding common pitfalls, like injecting neurotoxins too low.

➡️Crucial health screenings: dental work and vaccines.

Plus, Jon's candid thoughts on new trends and misinformation in the industry!

Hosts Jon LeSuer & Nicole Bauer sit down with the aesthetic industry veteran, Dr. Matthew Pinto (Vive Aesthetics), for a candid conversation about his nearly 20-year journey in medical aesthetics, from his accidental start in 2006 to building a thriving, multi-injector practice.

Dr. Pinto shares his unique perspective on the evolution of treatments—from old-school fillers and microdermabrasion to the latest techniques—and the impact of social media on patient education (and misinformation!). He opens up about his personal "why" for practicing aesthetics and the one patient quote that keeps him going.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

The Evolution of Aesthetics: Dr. Pinto's experience starting with CosmoDerm and the early days of Botox before HA fillers existed.

The Social Media Gripes: Why misinformation is rampant and the responsibility of injectors to educate and say "no."

The "Butthole Clincher" Moment: Dr. Pinto reveals his scariest injection area and his experience managing two vascular occlusions.

Building a Gold Standard Practice: The funny story behind his practice name, the value of cross-selling, and the critical role of aestheticians in his successful Med Spa, Vive Aesthetics and Wellness

Advice for New Injectors: The single most important thing to master to succeed in this industry.
