Challenging Type 1A Lips.
This lip type with a central prominence (formed by three fused tubercles) and two separated lower tubercles is common, but often difficult to treat when the subcutaneous layer is tightly adherent to the muscle (on either side of the central prominence).
The Nonsurgical Lip Tubercle (NLT) technique helps by softening transitions between the tubercles while preserving the lip’s individual shape and natural function.
In total, 16 distinct lip types have been identified based on tubercle presentation (references in my comment👇)

Same Hype - Different Century. From Elixir to PDGF.
1885 vs. 2025. Same salesperson, different bottle.
From miracle elixirs to injectable PDGF, the parallels are hard to ignore:
❌ Extraordinary claims
❌ Untested in aesthetics
❌ Unknown risks
❌ Unknown efficacy
❌ Patients used as test subjects
❌ No regulation or oversight
Is aesthetic medicine moving forward with science, or backwards into snake oil?

Regenerative Magic?
When “miracle results” rely entirely on different lighting, angles, expression, and head positions, it’s not regeneration – it’s deception.
This is the classic before-and-after trick used to promote unproven regenerative treatments like PDGF.
Look closer – the changes aren’t in the skin, they’re in the photography.

Polynucleotides are purified DNA fragments derived from salmon or trout s***m – and yes, they’re being injected into lips.
But lips may be the worst possible site for regenerative biologics in that they are:
1. Highly vascular = higher risk of vascular and immune complications.
2. Constantly moving = mechanical stress, spread, unpredictable outcomes.
3. Close to the oral microbiome = risk of biofilm and delayed onset nodules.
No approval. No robust evidence. No long-term safety data.
Once again, patients are being used as experiments.
Would you have your lips injected with polynucleotides?

Clarifying terminology👇
This page is about Aesthetics.
My concern is with:
⚠️ Regenerative biologics – PRP/PRF, stem cells, exosomes, polynucleotides, PDGF – injected into faces without proper safety data.
✅ Therapeutic biologics are a completely different category – beneficial, often life saving in oncology, dermatology and rheumatology. FDA/EMA approved, backed by large trials, long-term follow-up and strict pharmacovigilance.
But (regenerative) biologics aren’t the only threat.
⚠️ Alienisation (slide 2) – filler driven distortion of natural anatomy, creating faces that look unnatural. It undermines patient wellbeing and the integrity of aesthetic medicine.
Which is the bigger threat in aesthetics: biologics or alienisation?

04/09/2025

SAY NO TO BIOLOGICS – my new badge following the earlier Say No To Alienisation (slide 2).
Alienisation has long threatened patient well-being and the integrity of aesthetic medicine.
But biologics carry the potential for even greater risk.
The evidence trajectory in aesthetic medicine is telling:
- PRP = mixed
- Stem cells, exosomes, polynucleotides = weak
- PDGF = None
These pathways are potent and unpredictable – in theory capable of driving unwanted cell proliferation, fibrosis, or immune reactions.
Until there is evidence for safety and efficacy, patients should not be experimented on – SAY NO TO BIOLOGICS.

Aesthetic medicine is facing three dangerous trends:
- Mob Mentality (slide 1) – where dissent is crushed by group aggression.
- Cult Aesthetics – where hype and worship replace data and trials.
- Silencing of Critics – where asking for evidence is treated as heresy.
Mob mentality. Cult worship. Silencing dissent.
None of this serves patients.
None of this is medicine.
Science is built on questions, not intimidation.
Have you noticed these trends in our field too?

29/08/2025

👉 YES or NO?
Snake oil was useless. PDGF isn’t – it’s powerful.
But it’s being injected without trials, without safety data, and without long-term outcomes. Is this innovation, or human experimentation?

28/08/2025

Over the last few weeks, we’ve been discussing regenerative therapies – especially PDGF which to my mind represents an all-time low in aesthetics: no safety data whatsoever in aesthetic use, while opening the floodgates to further unproven treatments (slide 2).
I want to be clear – I’ve not referred to any specific practitioners or researchers. Yet, as so often happens on social media, the discussion has drifted into a battle of egos and personalities.
But this isn’t about you or your tribe. It must be about the patient – their safety, their risks, their right to treatments backed by evidence.
👉 Let’s return the conversation to where it belongs: in science.

27/08/2025

Definitely a funny side to all this..
But seriously, this is what happens when unproven treatments get pushed into aesthetics without trials, data, or regulation. Patients deserve better.
👉What’s the funniest “evidence statement” you’ve ever heard?

WHY DO PRACTITIONERS KEEP PUSHING UNPROVEN TREATMENTS?
Despite the lack of safety data, “regenerative” aesthetics keeps getting sold to patients.
Here are 13 reasons why (in no particular order):
1. Monetary Gain – extremely lucrative.
2. Vested Interest – tied to companies as “KOLs.”
3. Tribal Aesthetics – validation within echo chambers.
4. Perceived Safety – assuming “no evidence = safe.”
5. Research Gap – unable to interpret the science and misunderstanding of off-label use.
6. Lack of Awareness – simply don’t know the evidence gap.
7. Emerging Trends – wanting to look cutting-edge.
8. Potential Benefits – hope outweighs proof.
9. Market Demand – pressure to satisfy patients.
10. Anecdotal Evidence – chasing success stories.
11. Familiarity Breeds Acceptance – repetition creates belief.
12. Social Media Influence – swayed by hype + influencers.
13. Regulatory Gaps – weak oversight allows it.
But here’s the real question:
👉 Do any of these reasons justify experimenting on patients?

24/08/2025

Lips treated with my Nonsurgical Lip Tubercle (NLT) technique which preserves the patient’s individual lip shape and normal function (slide 2).
NLT also stands for ‘No-Ledge Technique’ because it avoids creating the stiff, unnatural ledge that has become normalised on social media (see my pinned post).
The result: subtle, balanced, and natural looking.
